whatever happened to...
« on: January 16, 2011, 05:52:09 PM »
the general gaming forum :D

anyway i saw rift planes of telara mentioned in that forum at some point so my question is .

anybody trying it i see a launch date of 4th of march in the E.U im tempted but missed 2 beta invites so far so anybody got any thoughts on it.

you can pre-order it electronically on the games website and you get automatic invites to any remaining beta events.

Its still here :)

Im avoiding it - after having tried a couple of the betas over the holidays, its literally basic kill quests and what not in the early wow style.  And they are changing the soul mechanics to let people get more sooner - probably to aid in pvp more, rather than a pve objective.

Its saving grace is the rifts and the invasions they spawn, although a big problem there is crappy loot (basically gems and thats it).

its a very shiny game thats for sure.

I even rechecked forum permissions and groups and everything, incase something had changed.

But yeah, Rift is just gonna be one of those filler mmo's for most who do try it until 300mill of SWTOR crops up, then it will be a wasteland.
