I'll start using this new service as I defintely want to get SWTOR and BF3 at least. :)

The amount of time this game needs for you to catch up to be viable for pvp is ridiculous sadly, they should speed up the progress but devs in this game don't listen and never have.

I loved AoC until they introduced pvp levels after which the game took a dip in subscription numbers as they gave nothing to the players who had pvped from day 1.

T2 is still challenging, but T1 is supposed to be sort of introduction to expert difficulity. I think it's now correctly tuned rather than requiring 3 healers to make it through, now you just need to be sensible rather than just lucky to make through a dungeon.

Yes because it's a Bioware game, duhh!

I think pvp is quite balanced at 50, just roles and how to play them are different or are they actually?

Warrior = great damage, great survivability but relatively easy to cc

Rogues = great damage, easy to kill but hard to cc

Mages = great aoe, easy to kill, lot of cc

Clerics = healing and free kill mostly

The problem with Rifts already appear, and were predicted by us players who weren't blinded by the shiny newness of this game. Let me quote a player from another forum:

"Seeing a lot of Rifts being untouched in my current area (Scarwood) and mobs constantly attack Perspice and I am the only one there. I was afraid that would happen."

People who level slower, and new people, are starting to be annoyed and stopped in their progression by rifts and invasions. This will only get worse when more people pass the low levels (or quit).

I don't say it's an unsolvable problem, but right now, the balance between rifts and area populations doesn't seem to be well tuned and is more of a nuisance than a fun digression.

To be honest this is bit of a jinxed, rifts used to be quite annoying and they could take over quest hubs which were really hard to take back - nowadays you can clear them solo unless it's a zone event, if you don't like zone events and you like mindless grinding it's probably not a game for you, probably trying Aion instead would be good idea :P

There is a certain way how the rifts and invasions behave once you learn that you can stay away from them very easily if you want to concentrate on leveling even if there is an event going on, though these events give great xp and rewards so why not participate?

Zone events are not happening if there is not many players occupying a zone, when I leveled up the zones I went through had no events for example.

If you game a lot of new games, don't buy ATI. Simple as that, ATI SW devs don't work with the game developers at the same level as Nvidia does.

Rift is a great game, nothing revolutionary but it does almost everything the way it's supposed to.

So well put, so well put!

"Camp A will roll their eyes and continue waiting until something truly remarkable comes along.  Camp B will know that Rift is what it is, and will enjoy the hell out of it for not making any false promises."

Thanks :)

Character models look... Hmm... Out of some horror show where everyone is happy? :)

Well, in the new game general chat is filled by Wow is this and that; don't care - stay in Wow if it's so good.

I think they ran out of money.

Beta 1 was excellent, can't wait for this one :)

Agreed, but I think I would prefer if you just put your name on a list and someone randomly give 100 keys instead of handling it like this, that has worked fine before.

It is a bit suspicious that so many people get it in the right time for their first post, a few is fine but many of us that spend a lot time at the forum never gets in on time and if so many new users do it seems like some people are manipulating the poll.

Let's hope it isn't a single guy who sells them. 

Agree, MMORPG didn't handle this too well.

UI looks like an mmo UI should look like.

1.4 patch is awesome, you just don't understand how good this will be. No more sitting at bo's and keeps waiting. Play more and whine after that :)

To OP: talk to an officer of a guild and make an application to join a guild on your server, they will not turn you down but none of the respectable guilds just random invite people they expect at least some level of contribution and that is shown by using some time to write proper application.

Sure, T3 and 4 are well populated, our guild had 40 players on last night for example.

Skaven is just a small part of this RvR pack, there is much more:

- Revamped zone capture mechanics

- 20 new renown ranks

Just to name a few...

Rvr only, scenarios when it's quiet. It's the fastest and most fun way to level. At 32 you can get to the Land of the Dead to do pve leveling.

Hope that helps, by the way better to ask this question on the warhammeralliance.com forums as they are much more active with this game.

Blizz said that the budget for their new MMO is going to be 2 billion, think about that for a while.
