think i'll make a rogue xD never really gave it a fair chance

Try a Bard; they're freaking insane! you get to fight enemies using a guitar (no, really) and their attacks heal you so its really hard to actually die unless you're massively outnumbered and the damage done to you heavily outweighs how quick you can heal it.

ugh the one thing that upsets me most about rift is the players. bunch of people that don't read or pay attention to anything around them asking constantly - oh my god where can you buy horses or how do i do this quest where is this thing thats marked on the map. not to mention all the people who think its a clone of wow bleh. its like some of these people are just incapable of any original thought and just repeat what they heard in the last beta xD

Sounds like most players in pretty much every beta I've ever been in

At least half of them will be there at Launch too and you can bet your Mynocks there will be plenty of them at TOR's launch too. It seems every mmos has to go through a "who the F**K let these freaks in?!?" stage before they sod off to somewhere else and leave the core group of people who actually want to play behind.

I saw it happen in WoW, WAR, City of Heroes, Champions Online, Lotro, EvE online, Guild Wars, Runes of Magic and now Rift.

They're really annoying though, I totally agree with you on that. On the whole though my opinion of the Rift community has been pretty good; at least on Riptalon and Argent servers. Every question I've asked has been answered without people seeming cocky or trying to make me sound stupid and the vast majority of people comparing the game to WoW get a barrage of people telling them to "put up or shut up" if their comments aren't constructive.

made a tank named tieve xD and a hunter esque rogue xP

Make a list of people that bother you and I'll tell my Rift GM friend, he can ban them.

ABUSE OF POWAH!

Awesome

Does that get me a promotion? Or atleast a pay raise? As an Agent, I'm all about the money and self preservation over here..

Payraise aren't available for agents. We apologize for the inconvenience.

lol so i stayed for the end of the beta and it never happened just hard quit DC from server shutting down - and thats after a full hour of me bad mouthing reg, challenging his power, challenging the GM's power and challenging trion's power! very dissappointed lol xD and seems a few others were as well but i dunno stinks that for the first time i was at the end of a beta there was no event xD that being said i'm pretty sure i'll still pre order it *shakes fist menacingly* were we going to make a guild for it? =o

Depends what kind of Guild you're after? Priory and I are in the final stages of finishing a Heavy-RP Guild ready for Launch, something we put together with a few other people over at Rift-RP.

If you're after a guild where you stay 'in-character' most of the time let PJK or I know and we'll pm you when its ready to go live.

sounds good ^^ i'll have to read up on the lore though

If you want to get into the Lore of the game, I'd recommend Telarapedia as that has it all set out in bite-sized chunks

PS: the pre-order Head Start will be going online this Friday so on that day I'll lock this 'CG: Rift (BETA)' thread down and start a 'CG: Rift' one. That will have the Guild PJK and I are in for anyone who is interested.

For anyone who has pre-ordered RIFT:

You can now delete your Beta client from your machine and download the Head-Start Client >>HERE<<.

Headstart goes live on Feb 24th.

Everyone else joins on March 4th.

Special note for anyone who ordered it through STEAM: If you've pre-ordered it then you don't need to re-download. The one you got through STEAM already will get you into the headstart.

Seeing at the Beta is now officially over, this thread has been closed and locked.

For anyone interested in Rift: Planes of Telara, the new CG Thread will be opened tomorrow in light with the Head-Start.

Thanks,

LW.
