[MMO]Rift: Planes of Telara

[Caradir]

Full on fire rift invasion in Silverwood at moment.

the one that was active when you logged last night was awesome, got myself 2 of the blue crystals

I got a corrupted sourcestone from this one this morning. Quite please, just need more planarite before I can exchange it.

So, those who have tried it over the past day or so. What do you think of it - given its a near release ready beta and given the type of game it is?

yeah you start to hit rifts from 6 onwards and they are great fun.

Apparently Trion are going to fix that at their end, rework the ports they use. So fingers crossed.

Oh yes it really does. Wait till a zone wide invasion + rift event lands on you. You'll love it!!  Had 3 or so today over the course of a play session, plus smaller footholds from time to time too.  Good that we are on a busy beta server as the population makes the rifts stronger/more frequent etc

After playing through some of the proper game after the starting zone, al lI can say is wow. it...is....epic. The rifts and invasions are just so immersive. And even the questing doesnt feel like too much of a grind tbh. A lot to do and think about, so doesnt feel too grindy. Well impressed.

WoW sub has been cancelled. Gonna be Rift for me until SWTOR at least.

[Warcold]

Very nice game indeed.
Only thing I like less is that loosing to an invasion doesnt have (many) consequences. By questing you have the feeling you get ahead, by fighting rifts - not so much.

Won't sub though through lack of ISK...

Well, since hitting Silverwood, my game performance has bombed to the point if the game being unplayable.

The starting zone was fine, just Silverwood onwards sucks form me FPSwise. Also getting bad sound stuttering also.

Sucks Danny boy.  As its pretty much where the game gets actually interesting too.

I'll nosey around forums and stuff, fingers crossed others have had it and theres a way to make it better.

i believe thats due to ISP shaping, especially if you are with BT its confirmed that they shape the particular ports the game uses as being P2P traffic. The devs are looking into it i believe.

My internet connection can be flaky at the best of times and apart from the odd laggy chop, it runs within acceptable parameters.

Well, I've cancelled my other MMO subscriptions. I'll be playing a Defiant rogue in (pre-)release, so playing various Guardian souls now.

I still can't say why I like it so much. Of course it's new, it's smooth, I like the "multi-classing" (reminds me so much of the good old days playing AD&D or WHFRPG ) and I think the rifts&invasions are just cool.
