AWSOME!

Holy crap, Im even more happy I pre ordered. 

Hurray for polish Nay for innovation.

What's with the fast-forward effect on people running around?  Makes me think overcompensation for the painfully slow run speed the game has.  Not a gamebreaker, I've pre-ordered, but the run speed stands out as a chink in its armor and this vid seems almost like an admission of guilt to me :p

I did this massive invasion thing in the last beta.  It's fun the first time but al the running around from Rift to Rift for 45 minutes straight can get a little old.  But the rifting is definitely a dynamic component of the game obviously and you can amass great gear through them as well. 

But button crunching to gain the most DPS for that long of time does get a little old.

Love the game.  but sicne I have been in 2 betas I'm going to wait for the headstart. 

Great thing ..the actual game play is nice.

^^ if you pre-ordered and have the collectors edition you wouldnt need to worry about slow running speed, and plus from past beta's the level requiremnet is 20 and you can get mount already, so how can this be a chink in the armour?

Well he's right.  The running speed does feel slow and I disliked it as well.  You can't ride a mount everywhere.  Its personal preference but I agree with as well.  Rift requires a lot of running, especially during one of the massive invasions.  And it feels a little on the slow side.  Its not the end of the world.  Or a major issue.  Just a perspective. 

i like rift but it's still not enuff for me to drop my money down on it. i have enjoyed all the betas been in all but it just feels like it is missing somthing. just feels like been there done that kinda thing. but it is a very polished game i would have to say the best beta i have ever been in for the game feeling done and lack of bugs.

I was there! My bard made alot of people happy:)

there are Massive Multiplayer online it seems

hmn...

Or, maybe they just sped up the replay to fit more stuff into a short timeslot?

No minimum level for mounts now.

Running around from rift to is no different from doing the same raid over a million times 8)

Mounts make travel very easy and you get them decently early.

Yet another opinion in this wall that I would like to share, but nobody reads.

See how no one in the video is mounted?  It's because when you're running around fighting and doing stuff, you can't be mounted, but even those short distances between mobs can be a bit annoying to watch as my character jogs lethargically up to them.

Wow...

That looks... awful.

It looks like every bad wow clone already on the market. and a lot of free 2 play ones at that.

Good lord...

Pretty simple people..if you don't like this or that about the game, WHY ARE YOU HERE looking at the trailer. Honestly I'm hoping people that post negative things on these boards STAY AWAY anyhow. This might just be one of the older gaming communities age wise we have had since DAoC. There wasn't a better Community than DAoC and has yet to be one that I have found. ROCK ON TRION ROCK ON!!!!!

This is Spartaaaa?! erm, Rift! Now, give us release! :)

And that stuff starts at level 10... basically an hour into the game... it's a great way to hook people :)

I personally loved the Invasion events and Rifts in the betas I've played. They didn't get old, especially when the map was going nuts (like in the video) and you had so much choice as to where you went to help out. Do you try and intercept the invasions, try to close down the Rifts or do you port to where the invasions are converging?

Mounts make Rift hunting/chasing much more enjoyable; I agree the run speed is simply too slow.

See guys, it runs just fine on a $4,000 computer!

Runs just fine on my $500 PC. Learn2Build on a budget. ;)

Can't wait!

OHH i see guild members in the video... Go RealmGuaridans :)

Rengoku and Angelcritz.

I have a pretty budget machine myself and I have the game max with nearly 24 players on screen along with all the mobs running around and rifts opening and I saw very little in not only computer lag but also server connection lag as well.

IMHO this is going to be the most stable MMO launch to date. Trion has done a great job stress testing servers. OBT is tomorrow and that will push servers to the limit. I will preorder within a week myself considering all goes well in this last test.

I see it's going to be a bard for me! I was a bard in Dark Age of Camelot (Baredeleng) on Guinevere  server - then a hero on Lamorak (Maeldon)...looking so forward to this.  Just wish..sigh, that we had the three realms.  I miss the awesome lore of Arthurian, Norse, and Celtic legends.  Nothing so far has come close.

Been in the beta a long time. It's much better then the video makes it look.

I agree. Screenshots and short videos don't do Rift justice.

It could have done without the fast forwarding.  Not really necessary with how epic the Rifts actually are, kind of detracted from the overall impact honestly.

without fastforwarding indeed .. and maybe some heavier graphics :p

Many Rifts!  Handle it!

Wow, this looks like so much fun!

But I've already done that in WAR. Right, there must be something unique about this game, or at least something already done, but done better.

Nope.

Stage 1, Kill wave of enemies

Stage 2, Kill wave of enemies

Stage 3, Kill a few adds along with a "boss"

Stage complete

Repeat until max level.

Sorry. But there's nothing great about this game...everything is just...mediocre.

Nothing new here ... move along.

Looks like another hack/slash "Hey Im an Elf" game.  How borring and unoriginal.

Looks exactly like wow but more polygons.

it gets boring  after a while... all rifts aren't that great just massive pve... rarely pvp

The thing about it being more of the same. I kinda agree, however, no one has given more of the same at this level of quality since WoW, after a few expansions.

War came no where near this kind of quality. Since I was enjoying wow just got sick of it, then they took the game in a direction I didn't like, I'll gladly take some more of the same at high quality, with no lag. People who say trion should be ashamed need to list their game making achievements, realize they have none, and go back to working at burger king.

Rifts reward XP, Rep, Planite, random drops from blues, purples, greens, your socket abilities... and some buff things.

You can't argue with that, i think they are turned up for the beta, the rewards and achievements are nice. Joining them in an area at a click of a button for a raid  group makes it seamless.

Warfronts are quite good, there's even a PvP daily from as soon as you can enter, which if you win a battle grants you a goodie bag.

Artifacts to collect, more goodies and enough of those to sink a battleship. (you get rewards and coins that can be spent on more rewards even a mount)

Plus the usual quests, story quests... the NPCs acknowledge you a lot, even though i ignored them as i went through. And there's some nice in game event things to watch.

It's polished enough for release, the souls and callings work great.... pretty much a retail release. Can't wait for what they have planned to add to the content (more warfronts, dungeons and events).

Fact you're rewarded for joining a rift at the 11th hour, does make it a good system.

Not impressed. Same ole cookie cutter MMO.

Rift Rush Zerg Zerg Zerg ;)

The invasions are by far one of the best aspects this game has to offer.  The world pvp is even bcoming exciting at the lvl 25+ area. My toon is lvl 32 right now, but I been having a blast with the world pvp in stonefield and scarlet gorge.

Once you realize that running rifts = getting gear. Alot of people wont care how many times they done it, but I still enjoy the invasions and the rifts from time to time.

Really enjoyed the beta event, think I've been most impressed by thier solid coding,  played the whole thing on a shitty usb cell phone internet with only 98ms latency even with 80 plus players on the screen it would only go up to 200ms.   On the same connection when I would attempt to play WoW I would sit around 1300ms and spike up to 2400.. it's VERY network friendly.

Booooriiiing....

in a few months when rifts dead and everyone has gone back to their last mmo ill be here, with my money still, laughing.

Honestly invasions are the worst preforming aspect of the game so far (they load well which is a feat in itself). But you just insta group up and spam buttons. there is no thought in them ... you just spam buttons and run around.

Id love to see a switch to well guarded control points (invations) which they kind of have but more in the form of strong roaming mobs. Like their invasion spots send out non stop baddies unless you can pick off your way into a massive spawn of baddies .. or something that makes them more then runnign around randomyl killign stuff.

Ookay, what is this... I just watched 4story's trailer and then this, and what i noticed, was how they both were basically, with same build up, both had a epic soundtrack (combined sounded even better) and oh, look at that, even the ending was the same with exact, same appearance "THIS" "IS" "4story/Rift" i even paused for a brief moment and saw that even the shadowing and the font were the same, just different colour and that reminded me of the Rift ad "We're not in Azeroth anymore" and then, what i read from someone's poetic review on Rift, as he said it was side to side exact, one hundred percent copy of World of Warcraft. So, then... Rift, originality questionmark??
