Rift - Planes of Telara

[CrackerJack]

Ahh no, that's just a rumor. That may be possible in an expansion or a huge update but you can't do that now.

With that, there are only a few day's left and I have messed with a Cleric, specifically Sentinel, Shaman, and warden? That has some good survivability and have had a great time taking on a large amount of enemies and not having to worry about dying.

Also last night I made a bard and plan on dumping most of my points into her just to see how it goes! needless to say its been a great time with this game and got a few other friends to join up!

Can't wait until headstart!

Yea i'm digging the Cleric class the most too.. nice dmg and top healers... 4 more days

I've been having some fun with the rogue myself, now I just need to get some peeps to play it with

 

[lemode]

I had casually played throughout beta only bothered to rank to 30 then stopped. I was just having fun and rerolled a new Rogue Friday (didn’t need to but I just wanted to go back and see things I missed pre 20). I rolled a Saboteur/Marksman/Ranger. Grinded to lvl 15 then joined a few warfronts. I didn’t really see if I killed anyone till my last match before beta servers shut down. I took a screen shot of my last match…and answered any doubtful question I had if I was killing anyone…I was. Haha.

I was on the fence about playing this at launch…but I actually enjoy the game. CE pre ordered since I want the 24 slot bag and my mount cuz I ranked up abilities and such and only had 1 plat (and 56 gold) @ LvL 15...and didn't want to wait the full 20 lvls.

It's different. Pretty fun but I find the animations really strange as mentioned. The casting bars aren't smooth and my FPS is all over the place while playing if any other characters are on screen.

It's okay I guess, if it ran better I would probably enjoy it more. I'm picky when it comes to frame rate.

The Warfronts are definitely fun IMO. I have a 18 Rouge Bard/Riftstaler/Nightblade that I built up during beta 7. With many points spent in the Bard soul, Rouges can definitely dish out a ton of hurt in Warfront. The Bards can surely help with kills (Gotta love the Cadence ability when them points stack up.) while keeping everyone healed up.

So far, great game, I preordered and have been really enjoying the betas, can't wait until the 24th so I can play 'for real'.

Yeah the shadows really kill performance in the beta. Game looks good but I'll wait, not really itching for an MMO right now but this one seems a lot of fun, at least 2 weeks of beta did.

Another Korean grind MMO? I'll pass!

lol? Rift is american made. HQ'd in Redwood Shores, Cali. Not so much a grinder, either. Rifts are the best feature, really.

 

[MLG The Canadian]

Does anybody think that the official version will run better than the last beta? I mean what can they do in a few days.. I pre-ordered so I could be playing on the 24th.. but whenever I went to a city or an area with a lot of players my performance took a beating!

That is, on any setting (low med high ultra or full) when I enable shadows.

 

[NinkobEi]

thats weird, MLG. I get excellent framerates. Is it possible to clock your processor a bit higher? I have noticed framerates getting better from beta to beta. Im sure it will improve eventually.

 

[kuroikenshi]

Well folks, the beta is now over. I hope everyone had a good time, I know I did! For those of you that are taking part of headstart....

Countdown for Rift

I can't wait to get this on officially. I just hope they release the server list soon since all the server names are changing... uggh... I am really going through riftdrawles

See you soon!

My heatsink is garbage. I can't really overclock, I've tried in the past and it heated up @ 2.9, 3.0 and 3.2ghz to crazy temps :\

I tried a beta about a month ago and it was almost un playable. The last beta was a lot better though.

My cpu and ram are both very slow though in today's market, I plan on upgrading this summer =3

I am the anti grinder and have played nearly every MMO released from 1999 - Today...and I am telling you this grind isn't half as bad as every other MMO out there. And the only Korean style grinds we get are from NC Soft as most other companies in the US have EASY grinds when you compare them. You can get to level 15 in a day no problem.

The Warfronts are definitely fun IMO. I have a 18 Rouge Bard/Riftstaler/Nightblade that I built up during beta 7. With many points spent in the Bard soul, Rouges can definitely dish out a ton of hurt in Warfront. The Bards can surely help with kills (Gotta love the Cadence ability when them points stack up.) while keeping everyone healed up.

Yeah Bard’s are definitely dope I only had a chance to do 1 warfront with mine and I didn’t kill nearly as much as I did with the saboteur (obviously AOE > Single targets) but it’s defiantly going to be something I explore a lot later. I like everything about Rogues and I like everything about this game really. I am all for rolling 1 char and being able to fulfill the various builds I want to play within that one char. That alone is what makes this game more alluring than many other’s that have come out in the last 3 years.

2 more days!

It's time to form up which server and side you guys are playing. Guardian? Defiant? The beta is opened up soon in a days time

Can't decide on a server yet... def a pve server. I know Defiant quest and area's best.. but the Guardians quest seem to be a lot closer together lol But yea beta is over, head start begins tomorrow

 

[NinkobEi]

I'll be Guardian on a pve (maybe pve-rp) server. Inquisitor/melee class/warden. Should be good!

lol @ 58 minute download for the entire game. FIOS

 

[CrackerJack]

O yea i'm rolling either cleric... but i like hunters also. can't decide either

@Ninkobwi, yea i loled on the download time too. 45min a lot better speeds than WoW

I'm gonna hop on Reclaimer PvP as a Cleric or Rogue, or possibly both. Guardian all the way.

 

[WhiteNoise]

I'll be on Keenblade PvE. I'm rolling Defiant (I only played Guardian in all the beta's) so its going to be fresh playing the other side.

I find this game refreshing. You don't even have to run the quests to level up. You can just band up for the rift events and watch the experience points climb! Running quests becomes secondary and only needed to fill in the gaps between rifts and for good kit.

That said I will still run every quest that I find because thats where the lore is and I love doing them.

I'm running a cleric and mage.

 

[W1zzard]

updating my beta files to release now. just copy over your assets folder (yes i know trion says to completely uninstall and redownload the whole game)
you can save about 1.6 GB download that way

 

[MLG The Canadian]

I played a rogue for most of the betas and got to about level 14. I found it very boring though, the attacks all sound the same and most of them look the same and nothing really stands out. I dunno if this is just rogue. Maybe it is. dunno.

That's the server I was going to have my Defiant Rogue on...unless I can have both Guardian & Defiant on the same server like I could in Beta. Haven't seen that I won't be able to in live.

Not sure which side will be more populated. Want to play on whichever side has a faster Warfront pop so I don't have to level outside of PvP

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

I haven't decided what server I am going to be on, but I am pretty sure I will be rolling a Rouge and going Bard/Ranger/Saboture , really fun, lots of buffs and epic in PVP.

 

[kuroikenshi]

Rolling on Briarcliff PvP server. it is the unofficial world PvP and Oceanic server. I will be rolling with some of my co-workers but also make an alt and join my goonygoon brethern at a later time. Defenitly Defiant side. Don't be mad at me if I gank you, will put my character names here once I reserve their names at the begining of headstart....which means I will have to get up at 2:30am to do this.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

Have my build all picked out already.
