View Full Version : Will you be playing Rift?
This is not meant to start a flame war. I am simply just curious as to what this community is gong to do.

Rift is a blatant wow clone, but i'll be giving it a bash. Just hope all the wowtards will shut up with the "omg this is a wow clone" talk on the beta channels.
It is a wow clone, no one denies this! But a new game to play is a new game to play!

Not interested at all. I didn't even last through a four day beta-test. /yawn
I am going to talk about the results on my next show, all feedback is great! Please spread the word to vote in this pole!

I'm gonna give it a go during the open beta next week, but I'm afraid the world and races are just devoid of any soul. The quests lack depth, the combat system seems to be a thousand flavors of press 1+2 and even though the graphics ain't ugly, it's not like I dig them either.
Now I feel like popping in King of Dragon Pass though..

The only reason I have time for MMOs to begin with is that I already know everything about the only MMO i play, P99/EverQuest so every minute I'm on I can be productive.
I definitely do not have the time nor will to adapt to a brand new game, as much as I'd like to experience an MMO with a modern feel. /wave Vanguard

I am glad to see that you are going to give it a try. However, I find what you are saying hilarious. It lacks quest depth, EQ Classic doesn't have that many quests and the quests it does have don't really have depth. That's what you do when you a play a game is press combination's of buttons to do shit, LOL. EQ classic is different, where it's a slower form of combat but don't make ether one any better or worse. It just depends on your taste. Yes, the graphics are up to date but I hope they come out with better and more armor designs.

All I will do is simply vote and smile :) because I think the game might be successful to some but not for others who want real depth. There may be depth in the graphics/polish, and soul system of the game but thats all Im seeing. Ive heard level 30+ players complain about the same things I have with the game. They nerfed open world pvp ON pvp servers partly I think to the whiners. And the racials are a joke. Its just not for me. Also at least for the first 10-12 levels I saw on both Guardian and Defiant the quests are exactly the same except only slightly modified I think thats pretty cheap.

Thank you for your vote. The soul and class system is everything. You can make a rouge and be an assassin. Then you can change rolls out of combat and be a marksman. You can also buy additional roles. So you can make a Cleric and play all the sub classes, this si the same for every class. Unlike most MMOs where you have to reroll and get sick of running the same content again that you just played. One of the reasons why people buy and sell toons so much on this server as it takes time to do exactly that. What exactly did they nerf in PVP open world. Obviously what you are saying some one has told you and you are just repeating a generic comment and have no idea what you are talking about.

I can't stand playing MMO's where sitting down for 5 minutes makes me feel like I'm falling behind. I'm passing on this one.
perhaps in the future, definitely not on release..really depends on how the feedback from open world pvp and endgame raid content turns out
I am having a good time during the beta though, my pvp pyro spec is kind of a wrecking ball

That may or may nor be the case but, we still have until September. Most likely that date will be pushed back again as well.

EQ is a nostalgia ride, doesn't cost me a subscription fee nor the 50 euro for the game itself. EQ lets me browse reddit, forums and other shit while I play. I know exactly what to expect from EQ. Why 'that' is so hilarious is beyond me, but hey, good luck and have fun with Rifts you raging fanboy ;)
and yes, I expect more from a game that's released in 2011 than from a pioneer in 3D and online gaming from 1999. Still gonna try out the beta, who knows I'll be convinced.

Yes, I find you fucking hilarious! You appear to be a person who likes to be in their comfort zone and not take any chances. So, you are the fanboy my friend. An MMO Fanboy is someone who can't find anything bad about their game and is soooooooo into it that they are willing to overlook flaws and cock sucking the DEVs. You keep making generic statements, like what specifically do you want more out of a 2011 MMO? What the fuck are you talking about in this statement? "EQ lets me browse reddit, forums and other shit while I play."

If they offer a free trial I may check it out, but I am sure it will suck like all new MMOs.

Can't knock it, until you try it. If I had that attitude, I never would have played EQ Classic. I would have missed out on a lot of fun!

Definitely will be playing Rift. I've been having fun so far in the beta. It's a nice change of pace. The EQ elitists make me laugh, or the people who are too afraid to admit they're playing other games just to avoid ridicule.

I have tried a lot of MMOs. Almost all of them suck which is why I wait for a free trial with 95% of them now. I am still waiting for that startrek online one.

I fell asleep during the tutorial
I've played in some of the betas, got a mage up to level 34. I'm kinda digging it. It certainly feels a lot like WoW, but I don't think it's really accurate to say it's a WoW clone.
The class system is everything. You actually need to use thought to optimize your build, as opposed to WoW where you just close your eyes and fill up a talent tree and call it a day.

A note as of today that I found out. Cross Server LFG dungeon tool is coming to Rifts. There slogan "Your Not In Azeroth anymore" is turning out to be more and more of a lie. There gonna need cross server LFG when the game goes on life support and if it doesent we know what past game community will mainly flocking to Rift. Pretty soon youll be able to sit in a town and lvl up without ever having to leave. Pretty cool huh.

I'm actually really looking forward to checking out the open beta tomorrow. I haven't looked forward to playing a new mmo in quite awhile so I hope I'm not getting my hopes up for nothing. To those of you who plan on playing, are you going to play on a pvp or pve server?
Myrkskog
02-14-2011, 09:58 PM
At least they're taking the time to polish their game before release, have to give them credit for that in the mess that has been massive releases over the last few years. For the people looking for a WoW alternative this should be pretty exciting.

I am going to do that starting today to kill time until the 25th. However, I am pissed at Sony for sending me the invite 2 days a head of time and now having to roll a new toon on that server since the others will be dead. I think it is also bull shit that we won't be able to play any of the added races or classes in the expansion until they get unlocked. No Iskar Beastlord for Yak. :(

Or, you could be smart and play the beta and get a feel for an MMO and not wait for 6 months before a trail comes out. I played the beta of Star Trek beta and not worth the wait IMO. I have played all the shitty F2P MMOs to try and hold me over and I hear ya until something good comes along! Rift is the first MMO that I have played in a very long time that feels like a real game that is not gimmicky. It's not a bull shit easy Korean MMO and has the best elements from a lot of the MMOs out there. Could In get bored with in in 6-8 months, sure. My expectations at the very least is that it holds my interest until Guild Wars 2 or Tera Online comes out. However, I am hoping that it will hold my interest for a few years. Sadly when I first started o play MMOs in 2003/2004, WOW has been the only MMO to hold interest for a long time, 3 years. I am looking for that MMO to come again and hopefully I found it.

It's not a stupid poll you troll, as it has generated a lot of interest. Anyways, I will break it down so your pea sized brain can understand.
Not going to play that WOW clone and happy with EQ Classic!
LMAO, this one favors Rift HOW? Yes, by calling it a WOW clone is for sure one-uping EQ Classic.
Hells yeah, Rift is what I have been waiting for!
This one speaks for it's self, as for some people this is the MMO they are waiting for. ;)
Rift will be my main MMO but I will still play EQ Classic!
OMG, people have the magically ability to play more then one MMO. How is this possible? LMAO.
No, there will never be another MMO like EQ Classic!
This one totally insults EQ Classic to the core saying that there will never be another MMO like it, LOL.

I take back all my assumptions about the game.

Seems like a pretty good combo. Love that every class can choose a pet archetype

Currently got 3 specs
Paladin / Warlord / Voidknight (single tank)
Reaver / Paladin / Warlord (AE tank)
Paragon / Champion / Riftblade (DPS)

Yea, im loving it myself, im running a Marksman/Ranger/Saboteur right now. The Rift events and the invasions are just plain awesome, there was a massive one earlier when i was on the server and like 50 of us grouped up and took down some bosses. I just hope they don't implement a cross server dungeon finder, that takes all the camaraderie out of the game and turns it into just a gear grind fest with queues.

I have no points in beast and the pet is still pretty decent. Seems like a good 0 talent although the combinations don't feed off each other. Infact, I don't think any 3 of my specs are "recommended" for eachother. I just know I like dot/heal aspects of reaver, pet with beats, and Rift is supposedly mad OP, so yeah.

I'm getting pretty excited for Rift. Ready to do absolutely nothing for a few weeks after release lolol
Just gotta decide if I want to roll a rogue or warrior out the door. I'm leaning rogue except I LOVE tanking and love all the tank options available to warriors. FML
Of course I'll have p99 running in the background at all times ftw

Well I've been pretty excited myself about Rift over the last few betas, however, I've actually grown somewhat bored. I never played WoW so I have no comparison. I don't know if, in comparison to EQ, I'm bored because the gameplay is too easy, too simple, etc. I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps I just don't want to dedicate time anymore in the betas because I know my character will be wiped.
I have yet to preorder.
I hear ya, well Sony got me sucked back in to play on the new Progression servers! Best and most fun version of EQ that I have ever played!
Rogue tank spec :3
They only get one though. Warriors get a variety of ways to spec for tanking. Decisions, decisions....

I started feeling the same way but I think it's just the fact it's beta and chars were gonna be wiped.
I'm excited as hell for the game though. It just a bit out of the enjoyment knowing your char is gonna be wiped, lol
Just preordered like 5 minutes ago.
Also, if anyone is thinking about getting it and hasn't preordered yet, D2D has a 20% off sale going today. Just use the promo code "hailtothechief"
