The guy wasn't doing that bad really, he was for the most part helping the healer to keep everyone alive. We did have a wipe or 2.  The thing that pisses me off about it is there was only one rogue, and a guy in the other guild rolled need on the bow. 

 

Then when the rogue asked them why they needed it.  They told the rogue he was being carried and didn't deserve the bow to begin with.

 

Next thing you know it is being sold in trade chat. As if this guy didn't put in as much work as everyone else, so ninja his bow and sell it and split the plat with the guildies that went on the run.

 

Game is the spitting image of wow, I can't even wait until something else comes out.  Half of the classes are not even viable if you don't spec the way everyone else is speccing. It's just bullcrap, the devs should have known this would happen rather than waste their time to make all these different combos that nobody will play because they wont be able to participate in a run without having to hear the kids flaming them the whole time.

Looks more like the same "ppl" and not the same "game" , the thing that reminds me of WoW here are the ppl. I just wished they would stay in wow rather than plague another game with their ignorance and lack of empathy.

Just an update on the Medusa Heads apartments. So far 3 have sold at $500 USD each, south wing is the most popular at the moment. Seems to be prime virtual real estate. Great access to the auction house, Medusa Mall which is selling now, and the Teleporter. The islands have some great mobs and the scenery is fantastic. Check them out!

 

Cheers

Well I suppose that describes the game fairly well. Lol.

Haha sure does..

Hi all, I've been reading quite a bit about the game but I'm not sure if to buy it or not. I'm not currently playing any other online games so do I have the spare time to play it. I know loads of people have been saying its like World of Warcraft etc etc but I don't listen to them. I do like PvE and questing etc. I'm just not sure?

Its perfect mmo if you like questing, there is alot of them.

Cheapest place I found Rift on was on this. When they had mmo weekend prices i bought Collectors edition for  £ 32.

People, eat dirt, billions of flies just cant be wrong.

So you consider your self a fly? Or does flies play wow? I dont understand :)

It was intressting but very missleading. The screens he compared sw:tor to as like AoC and Rift are just wrong, the games dont even look half as bad as he showed them. Same with Aion and GW2.

I am all for Sw:tor and will buy it and play it when it comes out, but I dont like missleading information.

Thanks for the info !! :)

Cant you just use the beta client and patch it for retail?

I would like a key please pallykax@hotmail.com thank you

Comparing Rift to Tera would be like comparing Xbox360 vs playstation 4, since Tera is not released even in beta in english.

Is anyone else getting weird performance? At max settings I'm getting 20-30 FPS (1600x900 resolution).

 

I run WoW, The Witcher, All the games on the Source Engine (TF2, L4D2, HL2, etc) in max settings. And I just tried the Crysis SP Demo and I can run that in max too (same resolution as stated before).

 

Is performance something they are still working on, or is it just pretty much going to release as is in terms of how it's running on certain systems?

 

System Specs:

AMD PHenom II X4 3.2GHz

G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1333

EVGA Geforce GTX 460 1GB

 

EDIT: When I say I can run those other games at max, I mean I'm running them at ~60+ FPS.

I noticed that I have less preformance when I play Defiant than when I play Guardians. I also think they will fix the fps some when going retail, this beta that is going now is just to hammer servers. So I think the preformance will be much better in retail.

I use intell i7 2.66 ghz

          6gb DDR3 1333

          XFX Radeon HD 6870 1gz

And I dont have as  low as  20fps on 1920x1080 with max settings

Dissabling shadows might help abit

I am done with Rift. I really wanted to like the game, it looks great, Trion is putting great effort into it, but today is really the last nail in the coffin.

I know people say WOW has a bad community, and going into it's dungeon browser really shows you the scum of humanity. But this... no matter what little you ask or critizise, I haven't EVER seen such an amount of hate, harrasment, flaming and attack than in the Rift chat channels. Why is it so difficult to just discuss different opinions WITHOUT 30 people jumping at my throat? I just don't want to spent my limited lifetime in an environment with such amounts of hate and agression around me.

It just is the last straw on many issues. Boring "Kill 10 Goblin" quests all over, difficulty & respawn rates, recent rise of bugs and issues... but more than all this the community looks terrible to me. I was just saying my Ranger/Marksman was constantly dying in some places, and the sheer amount of mockery, hate and whatnot was just... depressing.

 

You know, I didnt want to say this, but I had my 40th birthday today, I feel it's like "ok I am officially not young anymore" and having more days behind me than ahead of me, I made one decision today: I WONT stay in places with mean and inpolite people. I am mortal, my time is limited and life is too precious to waste it in places with unfriendly people. So while in past years I was more willing to "fight over things", debate all over and taking all bad manners, I decided from today I will avoid such places.

Maybe you think about this one time.

There is always gonna be bad and good eggs. And the more ppl playing a certain game the more bad eggs you will get.

And if youre playing Rift, and want more polite people that are having fun playing and helping other.. Play on a PVE server. Because the pvp servers are just filled with cowards that gank low levels as a rogue or in group  and most of the people either care to help by actions or in text.

And like we both know, kids will be kids. They neither know honor nor respect, and that is something they need to learn for themselves.

I noticed lot of talk of entire guilds leaving WoW for Rift ?

Now...i dont play WoW. I must admit one of big reasons is the community that clings to this game.

Actually I kind of secretly loved the WoW for the fact it was rotten community magnet.

Well apparently no more..

Now it seems this community is moving to Rift ...

 

Example from last round of beta. I joined PUG for a dungeon ( i know )

When we got wiped by dungeon boss. And I told them that it can not be done with current party. They called me a noob.

And that they going to show me how the pros do it. Ok.. I decided to stick with the show. To see how pros do it ;)

Truth is that pros got wiped , and wiped and wiped. At least 6 times.

And than they simply quit group - no word.

When i asked them what happened? The one that graced me with the answer. Said : "You are gay homo."

And than he put me on ignore.

...

Now I never had such experience playing Vanguard, or LOTRO, or any other MMO except WoW.

 

I know this was exception. But I am afraid it can be the sign of the community that is transfering to Rift...

 

I doubt everyone is like that. Was in countless groups that was positive at heart and very helpful. And they didnt give up either nice feeling when you really have to concentrate to make it work. 

I guess you just had some bad luck.

And yes I am leaving WoW for Rift until something more intressting comes along. If I play any more WoW I will throw up.

I really hate mint-chocolate, but I never tried it. Sarcsm off.

I can you acually hate some game you never played? They just assume the game is bad? Or they just want it to fail?

They should have the Beta open for everyone, not just NA and Canada. Europe also please!

How can I beta test this game? Any trial or buddy keys?

Gameplay over graphics....first time, every time.

I can agree with this, but there are borders on how bad graphics can be though. But yeah gameplay is way more important. And if the game has both that is awesome!

I know this game is still in beta but it comes out in a month. The world graphics seem fine but the character graphics need some polish in my opinion. At first glance of the game the first thing my friends and I see is the character looking and moving a bit silly.

Compared to other games such as Everquest 2, Age of Conan, and sadly even somewhat WoW, the character graphics arent as good. Age of conan on Directx10 with graphics on max the character looks next to real.

Overall my question is will the graphics on the characters be changed at all? If there is no change I know I won't be playing.

Sure grafix sucks right? And its not your computer that is from the stoneages? Check these out.
