Title: Rift!
Post by: Archz on March 04, 2011, 04:28:18 pm
I think there's a beta topic or something hidden away in the guild section, but let's get one started here eh? Rift is out apparently, mine is downloading from Steam as we speak!

First we need to establish what server we want to play on! And I guess we're playing Defiants like in the Beta?

Do want a weekend release from steam with discount to be honest!

Defiant side, Sagespire !! :zerg

Post by: delling on March 05, 2011, 01:04:22 am
Defiant = Horde? :P
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Lazerz on March 05, 2011, 01:19:04 am
Defiant = Horde? :P

yeah pretty much :P, defiants devote themselves to science whereas guardians try to save the world with religion (or some shit). More importantly Defiant=red, Guardian =blue :)

Also, what is up with this sagespire bullshit? Isn't that one of the newer servers? Given the nature of the game, I'd prefer to be somewhere that'll be as high pop as possible for as long as possible, and it was whitesomething and bloodiron that were the two most packed from the get-go.

My character at launch day.

Also, what is up with this sagespire bullshit? Isn't that one of the newer servers?

Initially there were only two PvP En servers in Eu cloudborne and whitefall, if I recall correctly. I missed the launch with ~2seconds so i got a 3700 queue right up in my face, estimated wait time 24h \o/. ~20-30mins after the launch they opened up new servers, Sagespire among them. Voila here we are, the server is pending at high- to full most of the time with no annoying long queues so far.

EDIT The [img] failed so i posted the link

I'm on bloodiron as well now, but on guardian side, shall we all just reroll on a server and start up a guild? Or keep going as we are? I have a mate from my old guild, and zrph (who used to be in IE) along with some of his mates playing on this server as well, but could try and persuade them to go somewhere else, but i think they all wanna play guardian no matter what.
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Lycanus on March 05, 2011, 04:12:23 pm
tell them to come sagespire guardians! i dont wanna reroll after getting lvl 41 lol
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Ultiwho on March 05, 2011, 07:54:12 pm
I'll reroll (for the 3rd time already) over on sagespire with you then man, are you warrior tank as well? What classes/specs have you guys on that server already got? cos i dont wanna roll something we dont need, but im rather enjoying tanking paladin/reaver/voidknight atm
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Archz on March 05, 2011, 08:01:59 pm
Why Guardians? Lame!

I've started playing Defiants on Bloodiron as well
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Ultiwho on March 05, 2011, 08:28:41 pm
Well shall we make a decision of where we're going then, if anus and co are already 41 we may as well go over there. I'm gonna roll a warrior there now
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Veilas on March 05, 2011, 11:13:01 pm
What's the least played class? (would like to be a warlock/necro)
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Ultiwho on March 05, 2011, 11:39:03 pm
mage is probably the least played so yeah go warlock/necro
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Lycanus on March 06, 2011, 07:40:58 am
warlock/necro is great fun :) tried it in beta!
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: kawe on March 06, 2011, 08:18:56 am
Why Guardians? Lame!

I've started playing Defiants on Bloodiron as well

I know... they suck balls for it. But it's easier for us lower levels to reroll than a 40+.

I've made a couple of characters on Sagespire now: Libra, a cleric; Fortune, a warrior and Vice, a rogue.

Some screenshots of the Guardian starting zone.
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Inphy on March 06, 2011, 11:44:35 am
There! I BOUGHT IT! I'll be playing after the download is gone :)

Think i'll go a mage, dominator/necro or something like that. Those look like fun ;o I know in beta all you saw were elementalists.

Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Tynx on March 07, 2011, 02:31:58 pm
Might give this a try, looks like we have quite the crew playing. Didn't get that excited from the Beta though.
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Inphy on March 07, 2011, 02:35:15 pm
Well, it feels alot better than the beta for me. ;o Might be because you know it won't be for nothing :)
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Starbrow on March 07, 2011, 04:32:04 pm
I'm thinking of putting this game on my wish list for my birthday the 31st, so if I get it I could be joining in casually :)

Realm of the Fae is amazing, the snow bit at the end is just such an awesome idea. Seen a few people wander off cliffs without noticing.
Gonna be doing Darkening Deeps tomorrow night after work, so anyone whos level 22/23+ wanna come along?

Edit: just been reading up on it a bit more and it suggests 24+ but its a 20-27 instance so im sure we can handle it
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: Inphy on March 08, 2011, 06:41:39 pm
I'll see if i can get 24 tommorow, if I am i'll join for sure!

Iron Edge is on Guardians, Sagespire.

Screenshots of second 5-man instance inc!

It's called 'The Darkening Deeps'. There's a bit more to it than this, but this bit just looked so darn cool to me.

I know why the patch is so large:

* Added support for additional Turkish chat characters.

Hope we wont see a new "Turkspire"

the pvp system seems to be a bit like vanilla wow with the ranking and titles.
Title: Re: Rift!
Post by: kawe on March 12, 2011, 12:56:25 pm
Uh

Do you remember the vanilla wow pvp sytem for ranking and titles? No one would implement those mechanics in a new game outside of korea nowadays, surely?

Unless you're just saying that titles/ranks do exist?

So I tryed Rift and while its a good game, I can't handle playing 2 mmo's so I decided I'm gonna just stick with WoW.

That said, I'm selling rift account, theres still 20+ days left on it from the 1st month, and lvl20+ rogue. Could sell it for IG gold or gamecard (wow). If anyone interested contact me here or on irc/ig.
Title: Re: Rift!
