It has been a while but doesnt Rift have alot of movement in some of their boss fights (highlights areas on the ground).  All the moving around during the encounters might not be to his liking.  In some of them it got on my nerves too ;D.

But I really liked Rift ;D.

Highjack!!

Is this the open beta or we have to be invited into this one too?

HAHA!  I was but hearing everyone talk about it I was begining to wonder.

But in my opinion some progression is good.  I talking from strickly a pve point of view mind you.  I dont pvp much because I suck at it ;).  I understand your argument and facerolling in pvp and I agree.  Seems like there could be a way to have progression in a game and have a balanced pvp system.

I’m probably the slowest gamer on mmorpg.com.  I listen to all dialogues, did all the quest I could find.  I explored, I harvested materials for crafting and it only took me about 2 ½ months.  That is with playing about 2 hours a day.  I don’t see how they could have thought it would take players 5 months.  If I would have had the time I could have done it much faster,  RL sucks ;|.

The game is very linear but I think the saving grace will be the Foundry (for me anyway).  It is hard to tell for sure from youtube videos but I can’t wait to start making my own adventures.

The only beef I have about the game is the stooooopid holy symbol the clerics are carrying around.  I wish they would add a mace and a small shield for no other reason than for looks ;D.

This is just my opinion but the builder and spender mechanic is boring.  Depending on what you have you push your builder 5 times then spend your 2 consumers and that’s it (1,1,1,1,1,2,3,1,1,1,1,1,2,3).  Of course there are other abilities in there for buffing or survival but that is about it. 

If I’m missing something by the way someone please tell me ; D.  I want to like the game dammit ; D.

I loved the game theme and they do a very good job with the atmosphere and the music but I just couldn’t get over the combat.  The animations didn’t even bother me that much either compared to others.

I have to be honest I am a little disappointed with only 5 classes.  From watching the video it seems like there won’t be much to separate, say two clerics, apart.  I hope I’m wrong but I’m afraid that the classes are going to be too similar so you won’t want to take two clerics or two control wizards.  Like I said I hope I’m wrong.

These are the things I would love to see:

1. Continuing of class stories
2. Bug Fixes
3. Being able to use Companions more,  have them become a greater part of the story, right now I use only one and the rest are left on the ship to rot

I dont understand why they cant create cool looking gear.  All the HM and the raid gear looks silly especially for sage and the sorcerer.  I just dont understand ;(

Probably cause Star Wars already existed before the game was created and BioWare has a canon to follow. You won't get cool looking armor in a game unless it's a proprietary IP.

Surely LA would want them to make cool looking gear.
