So, Tera has fast leveling? That kind of sucks for a player like me. I like the journey, and a long one at that. I might be a minority, but I like xp off option, and I hate leveling so easily. Can anyone confirm if it s really that fast, and if so, is there a xp off option?

You're confusing over hyped with popular. The game is still rushed and half finished. An even bigger flop than Vanguard.

Good for vanguard, it will be one of the biggest and populated MMOs soon.

whats with peeps saying " long term rift is blablah but swtor is so much better " how can you compare 4-6 months of rift vs 1 month of swtor ?  wait till you played both of same ammount of time

 

most new games are fun, most 2+ months old games you played are worthless not wortth 20s startup time to launch them

 

i actually went and got myself rift when swtor early access ended.. got to 34+ lvl and was " well this is getting boring by now " and i knew there was nothing at endgame , and was blown away by all rift offered at end game , but if you expect either game to hold you for 6+ months loging every day for 2-5 hours you are out of your mind , there is no such game created yet, and doubt there ever will, everything gets oldand boring

Never played DAOC I take it, kept many occupied for years at 2-5 hours a day.

On that note SWTOR, is a much better game then Rift, Rift just bores me to tears.

After waiting for this game for about 3 years now it just makes me sad that they released a rushed unfinished game that can only be matched by Vanguard's failure. It is nothing more than a expensive single player game with a subscription fee. I have never felt so ripped off as I do with this game. I know for a fact I will never buy anything from Bioware again. Just too many levels of fail.

/Agreed

Lol, single player game, it has more grouping then most MMOs, nice job just spewing out the same garbage all the haters say.

So far from true it s not even funny.

Trash talk between factions, and inter-faction hazing, trash talk/ e-peen threads.

Any organized guild has their own website/ forums so don't give me that: "We needz forums to communicate!" BS

Bingo. The haters need a new thread to whine about though. Like it s such a big deal lol.

Lol, another one of these. Theres more grouping in this game then WOW or Rift, with some solo stuff to do when you can t group. People are seeing thats the case in game, they realize the forums are full of crap , just like this one is.

It does the opposite, IMO. Join group and leave, without a hi, or bye. The mechanic is complete fail to me, in making games more social. Games are too easy nowadays, so grouping is barely needed, make a game with some hardness to it, and we ll see grouping in the real way again.

Another great post that makes alot of sense...Loke666. I don't usually agree with Loke but I agree with him that there have been many posts that give good info...but he also gave a great suggestion...list 3 things good and 3 things bad about Rift.

3 good things.

1) The soul tree takes your character to a whole new and "self identifying" level. U build your toon as u wish...but this still has pitfalls for the inexperienced player.

2) Very good character customization. Unlike Wow and several other Mmos your character is again...unique.

3) The game is polished! I mean very polished!!! Well done and complete...(I've added this after the fact... the game never went down! There was almost no lag and when it did happen it was pretty much unnoticable...and I was playing top end! I'm not going to lie...there were "alot" of ppl playing. Almost every quest I went on there were at least 2 or more players doing the same quest but I was able to complete the quest fairly quickly even with the competition.)

3 bad things

1) Quests are repetitive... very repetitive... fall asleep repetitive...did I mention that they are repetitive?

2) To reach level 50 is so simple even your grandmother could do it. (Also after the fact...I was hoping that reaching top end in this game would be much more difficult. I don't like instant gratification.(In a game anyway lol.) But reaching lvl 50 is far to easy. The game has only been out a couple of weeks and already there are lvl 50 toons running around. I like fighting for every step. Again, I'm definately not a carebear...I want to feel I've earned the next step. U don't get that feeling with this game.

3) Not much is new! Even the storyline smacks of Wow ROTLK... The rifts are new and inviting at first but soon become a nuisense.

Hope I helped! If you can look past the negitives this game will make you very happy. If not, it is at best a game to pass your time until the game you are waiting for is released...  

 This is exactly how I feel.  To me it s a decent filler game, but I myself want a game with lasting power. If you want a game for a few months, then it s decent, if not, don t touch it.

don't get frustrated because many don't share your view.

 Where is this many that you speak of?  My guild is exploiding and the two other guilds that we have are exploiding as well.  Massive queues still on some servers despite almost 100 of them out there.

Has some radical statistic come out that contradicts reality that I'm not aware of?

Or are some posters on a MMO forum board constitute many?

 LOL sure

 We have 416 members in my guild.  Average of 70 people on at peak times.

 My war guild had 500+ people 2 weeks after release. Guess what they all loved it. Wait 2-3 months when people have seen the game for what it is.

This is the first of many posts like this, I m afraid.

And you can find one of those in every single game out there, no exceptions.

 I agree, it just confirms Rift isn t the amazing game alot of people claim it to be.

This is the first of many posts like this, I m afraid.

lol, this review seems informed and balanced but is discredited whilst the other review currently in the running is applauded as balanced while he clearly hasnt played past level 20.

 Exactly. Funny , how a review gets attacked when it s not all rosey, then one comes out, that is clearly done by someone who barely played past the starting area, is a fair and great review.

 I ve said from day 1 to my guild that had to try it, and well all but 1 have cancelled. The rifts are the biggest problem with the game and will continue to be.

Completely agree with him. End result, in that video is he says he can t see it not becoming boring quickly. That it does, cancelled my sub already.

Just wondering did anyone happen to buy all the games that he gave a 'good review' with every WTF video then, or buy DCUO and Magicka because he enjoys them? Can anyone say what TB thinks is 100% true for everyone..

TB's 'word' is opinion only, not fact, much like every previewer/reviewer for anything really, TB has never stated anything different.

Going off one person's opinion only is quite foolish TBH, I'm just hoping most of his subcribers (i'm one too WTB so don't think this is a 'bash TB because he hates Rift' post) don't treat him like a massive game gru (like people do with Pratcher *shakes fist*) because even he says himself he's 'a bit of a noob' when it comes to games, he's just very very good at boardcasting to the point IMHO he's better then most 'deadicated' TV shows.

Like I said in my other post above even TB didn't want to do a WTF of Rift he's just bored of those type of games now including WoW, so basing your subcription on ONE person's 'forced' comments is a little bit crazy.

 LOL, I cancelled before I even saw his video. I m stating I agree with him, it gets boring and fast. If I was the only one saying this, then maybe theres something wrong with me, but many people have agreed with this comment. My guild in Aion have all come back but 1, so I m guessing it gets boring for some people.

Very impressive. Arch age that is one game I cannot wait for.

Completely agree with him. End result, in that video is he says he can t see it not becoming boring quickly. That it does, cancelled my sub already.

Anyone that thinks servers won t get merged down the road is dillusional.

I have to say, after playing a couple betas now, this will be a good game. Will it revolutionize MMOs, no, but a solid title to play with or without GW2 IMO. I think it s a good solid attempt at MMOs and will provide many hours of enjoyment for my wife and I. Trion seems to be really behind this title and I can t wait to see release and beyond. Kudos Trion on a solid gaming experience.

Ok ty.
