No graphics

No controls

Voice Command

lol.

TERA IS TRULY EPIC TO THE CORE! THIS MMO IS THE "GEN" OF ALL.

IT's Truly a big OMG, how the hell "mind blowing" feeling.

My testing is Officialilly over:( and I have made my mind up on the fact that this just may be the only MMORPG  I will buy. 

Peace out.

I would upgrade the graphics and add a free aim as an optional sever (FAPVPRP Sever) similar to the new TERA.

Lmao I don't even play this game.... I know nothing about it, I am just up late messing around.

As long as players keep comparing freshly released games to ones that released three years ago, they will be too dissappointed to like the game.

 

Its technically impossible for a MMO to release with just as much content and polish as a mmo that has been in market for 3-6 years yet people still keep expecting that of them.

 

Yes! the MMORPG gener would be alot better if we did not compare them all to WoW ROFL!!!! but on serious note it would be better if we don't compare and take them as is what is and enjoy, don't allow comparing take you away fron a new MMORPG, I never ever let that happen to me, a new MMO is a new MMO no matter what, I may say "this MMORPG is similar" but thats it.

Borderlands is simply fantastic! I am enjoying this game so much... because it has so much pack in it to the point I would like gearbox to make Borderlands 2-3-4-5 or simply add more and more DLC to expand the game more and more with more and bigger skill tree or another type of system like the artifacts.

GREA Game 9.5

There are many reasons why a tired WoW player may be ready to move on. With that in mind here is a list of what Rift does better than WoW based on my experience in betas 3 & 4:

Graphics - high res, beautiful and not cartoony

Incorrect. Rift is stuck using the same low res textures and models as previous games. The reason for this is that going above 512 x 512 only slows down the system. It is not any more high res than the competition. Models are also low poly. Most mmorpgs are. The gamebryo engine which Rift uses is also dated. It is not a next gen level engine so obviously the graphics wont be either.

Dynamic content - read up on rifts, invasions & footholds - you have a living, breathing world. Sometimes the rift invaders will attack your town and sometimes they will battle each other... try to break up the fight and both sets of rift invaders will turn on you and your party - be ready!

Rifts are not completely Dynamic. It is just a marketing move by Trion to say it is. The world is neither living or breathing. Everything in the world is completely static. NPCs have spawn points so when they die they will magically appear again. Every mmorpg has this for the most part. Rifts are just mob spawners in which any "Invasion" has mobs run along a set path using way points.

Remember Rifts always spawn in the same locations. They are not randomly place. Their mobs do not move around randomly. Many mmorpgs in the past have done this same thing. Lets pretend it is not any different.

Take a look at Tabula Rasa. Even WoW has mobs with spawners and way points. Remember the map tells you where all mobs are going. Why? Because their course is pre-set.

THIS IS NOT DYNAMIC.

Quad Spec on the fly vs WoW Dual Spec on a timer - you can have 4 quickly swappable specs - once you've purchased an extra "role" (spec) you can change in just a few seconds and even while in combat!

Deeper class system - hundreds of combos to choose from - be an expert, hybrid or anything in between - no right or wrong builds!

Where WoW has 10 classes, Rift only has 4.

Compare: WoW = 10 Classes w/ 3 trees per class. Rift = 4 Classes w/ 8 trees per class, 3 tree limit at 1 time.

Is there a magical difference between them? NO. It is not necessarily an improvement. Each one has its pros and cons.

Remember, Souls are not classes. It is not a multiclass system. Offering less classes with more (watered down) trees to select from offers just as much choice as more classes with less but more specialized & unique trees. Do you see what they did? Its not radically different than WoW's system. They just altered  how its presented.

On the fly role switching is not a good design mechanic. It ruins class identity. Over 60% of the trees in the game are DPS focused. Choices and consequence mean nothing with Class choice.

Conclusion: It is NOT deeper nor more innovative. Smoke and mirrors folks.

$10/month? - that's right - founders can commit up to March 15th for the best value in AAA mmo gaming

Aggressive marketing. They are not doing it for you the player, but for them to get initial sales. They are aware of many getting turned off by the game so smart marketing will get many to commit to purchase before the game takes a dive post launch. They want you to commit to the product. Same reason they do not give refunds for pre-orders.

More & varied ways to level - take on highly polished quests solo or with your friends. Take a break and PVP and get good XP for doing so. Then join a Rift hunting raid and run around defending Telara with sweet planar loot in store for the victors. Or you can easily group up for challenging dungeons!

Highly polished quests? The majority of the complaints coming from beta testers is that the quests are some of the worst seen to date. The quests are so boring and generic that its clear no effort went into them, much less scriptig.

THERE IS NO VARIETY IN QUESTS. PERIOD. To say otherwise is just a lie.

Dungeons challenging? Rogues are tanking, people are yawning. They are for the most part generic, barely scripted ordeals which you fight the same mobs but with extra hp and damage. Nothing more nothing less.

Better fast travel system - Porticulums, once discovered, allow you to instantly warp back and forth to your desired destination. No more waiting on those slow WoW gryphons!

Better fast travel system? This has got to be a joke. You talk to a NPC and they teleport you another NPC. There are very few and just about every mmorpg has done it before with more options and better implimentation.

The fact that Rift doesnt put in a real time travel system as you put it just proves the fact that the world is TOO SMALL for them. Nice try.

Challenging - you can actually die in this game if you're not paying attention to your surroundings. So don't think you can skip along whistling your favorite nursery rhyme and be safe on a road or pathway.

Not if you play a cleric, rogue, mage, or Warrior. Thats all the classes. Do you know how silly the "you can die if you are not paying attention sounds"? You can die in any game if you are dumb enough. Whats the death penalty? OH WAIT there is none. You have to die 10 times before you actually get a debuff and you can just heal the count down at any time.

Combat - you may be used to spamming the same 1 or 2 keys over and over again in your current mmo. Welcome to rift where you will have access to more useful attacks and abilities than you can fit in your hotbar!

...If you read the beta forums, if you watched any youtube video of combat...all people are doing is pressing 1 or 2. In fact, because of the way the cooldowns work, you only need to spam one attack over and over. There is no "skill juggling".  Rift's combat is minimal. Most skills between souls overlap in such a way that you dont need to use them all. Just one.

UI - no need for 3rd party mods. The UI is completely customizable!

UI is customizable within the choices they give, but you make it sound like third party UI mods are a bad thing. They are not, they offer MORE choice. Isnt part of your sales pitch all about "more choice"? lol

No latency/lag issues - hats off to Trion on this one, even when the fps drops in heavy battle I never once experienced that dreaded game freezing lag

Many have experienced lag and low performance around large groups of players and Rifts. This is no different than other mmorpgs.

Feel free to add your own and watch as the Rift preorders pile up!
 

Uh no. Why are you trying to sell a product here on the forums like a used car sales man? Half of what you have posted is out right

 

 

I think you are trying way too hard to convince people to purchase this game. Why? What purpose does it serve unless you work for them and have something to gain by pitching this product (and badly I might add)?

Please try not to mislead people.

Yeah yeah buddy. RIFT in March, most of WoW community will be on it . Cata change Aleroth and so the community will be finding new homes in Telara. WoW mage students are very happy about this move because in Telara Mage students becomes WIZZARDS!!!

RIFT: Planes of Telara in March!

WTF! was Trion thinking when they  created  the animation of our race of choice at the creations menu? the male Dwraf and Elf looks disfigured and horrid!!! even the human looks abit awful but is passable. The female versions on the other hand looks just perfect, all of them!

Trion...  the joke is over, some laughed:D and  some got terrorfied;(, please fix  the male races.

Why all the red faces of WoW fan base, why so angry, why lie about not leaving WoW for just a min to try a new world, why the hate on something that is so good? See you all in beta suckas, yay!!!!!

Is one the most hardest best games I have played in years. I feel that it will take me three months or more to beat this game.

Wtf this don't even look like SWG O.O lmfao holy shit what the hell happen? I do not see an ounce of Starwars.

From reading ,Looks like Bioware's is doing a great job.

The MMORPG game is Loong. From what I got from the youtube video...

A new grinding world awaits.

Discover the secrets of grinding.

Train your skills by grinding.

Learn to grind effectively.

Grind on your ground!

But on serious note this game looks beautiful, so I will like to give it a try, is it F2P, can i play it at all?

I look at the concept of God as if it was nothing more than a thought process.

The fact that all the physics and origins of the universe can be understood is proof that they all could have been thought of, or programmed into it, in a sense. I consider God a blueprint or schemata, the basic rules of the universe itself, and not some aetherial architect of it all... because I believe it's quite possible for reality to face a certain degree of cause and effect to where it can create it's own balancing set of rules. That, to me, is God.

Color me agnostic, because I seriously don't believe in an old man that watches and judges all of us... but I sure as fuck do believe in circumstances that can be percieved as unnatural, or miraculous, and that all things are connected through that causality in a spectrum we will NEVER completely understand. Crazy shit *does* happen for a reason, I just don't think anyone is special enough to get privaledged attention from some diety for it to happen. It's just how things roll.

Here is my older thread on this http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/3689362#3689362

Well this had been on my mind for three days and I just broke it out to my wife in the middle of the night. What I think of our universe is the same way I think of how are brain works. We all have dreams that seem real, we all can create objects in our head and touch them, smell them etc, we can create worlds and live in them for both day and night dream's. What I am trying to say is that it is very possible that we are part of our creator dreams and thoughts, the universe may just be one big brain of our creator, each part of the universe is a section of his brain. Like we can close our eyes and create something in an instant is the same way he create new worlds, black holes etc.

I will enjoy playing Blade&Soul more, I just love the combat system. They are using the old Matrix Online updated combat system with a twist.

Yes, MxO could have been big but SoE pulled the plug on it. All this you see in this video was all ingame, PvP, major RP , PD(Player duels) and PvE was just right very fun.

The new Blade&Soul combat system is very very similar to MxO combat system, simply fantastic! Hope you all enjoy this video.
