Point is, if you don't do the quests and follow the path you really gimp yourself until you have grind enough rifts to kit yourself out. The blue items start at level 15 with weapons that are not really that better than green quests items you can get by doing quests.
LOL go kill mobs to level and see how far you get with getting armour or gear.
Oh wait you can grind faction for the university which will take you ages to actually get enough rep to buy those shiny level 20 items.
And let's not forget the FPS,it's bad to say the least.
Top PCs getting 20FPS on ultra or med to high?
Make sure you have an nvidia card because this game does not like ATI.
It's pretty clear you quit after Beta 1 and didn't even try Beta 2, or weren't invited back. Beta 1, yea, people had FPS problems. However, in Beta 2, my FPS went up to 60 at all times.
The blue items were much better than any quest green I saw for both factions. I got the level 18 2handed sword and it raped anything I found from quests and even one weapon I got in Iron Tombs. Stop exaggerating nonsense to make your points valid.
.In regards to the skills comment, with my Warlock/Dominator I used 6-8 skills on the mobs I was fighting. Granted you use them repeatedly but it is still 2x's as many as you are indicating. Also with my Reaver/Void Knight I also used 6-8 skills on the mobs... Maybe your class had limited options, but I definitely utilized my skills in game.
You used 6 to 8 button to kill as mob!!! SO was it TAB 12345678 = mob dead. Amazing game play I must say.
The sooner we get away from this crap tab target press xyz = mob dead the better.
I think you are over-dramatizing this a bit. Facts vs fiction. There are no games out there in MMORPG pc market that have first person block, aim, do all yourself.....without a clunky interface.
There is no getting around this. It is impossible to do.
The tab or mouse targeting with the hotbar 1 thru 0 is an improvement on the old way of things. If you can somehow design a well rounded system with as much functionality to it or at least name a game in the MMORPG format that has this and is not flawed then you should not bash the current system.
I think what he wants is to hover his mouse reticule over the target and then hit 12345. Or, there's the other possible route of 1, move mouse to target, rightclickrighclickrightclickrightclick R (to reload) or 2/Q/E/mousewheel (to swap to a different weapon).
I read about rifts,grafs,quests and all mambo jumbo cap. Combat is the g point. Evrything u do from pve mobs or raids ,to pvp INVOLVES COMBAT. If combat is breathtaking,tactical and working well n smooth players will buy it and play it. if not it will fail like all other past mmorpgs that failed also.
So...
It uses a combat system similar to wow right?
Is combat breathtaking in rift? Combat system is better than wow 's combat or not?
Explain why.
If you mean combat as smooth as WOW yes it is. It works perfectly and there are no delays or clunkiness.
That's bullshit,the combat is no where near as smooth as WOW,the animation are not that good at all.
No i have not played WOW for years,i levelled to top level before battlegrounds even came out but i can say that RIFTS animation are bad.
Swinging weapons and actually hitting the mobs are a joke.

Coming from you that is not a surprise. But as far as bullshit is concerned i will upload a video soon to show how smooth combat movements are. But you will still find something to complain. I got 10 gb worth of recorded gameplay so give me some time to prove you wrong.
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

LOL go kill mobs to level and see how far you get with getting armour or gear.
Oh wait you can grind faction for the university which will take you ages to actually get enough rep to buy those shiny level 20 items.
Or you could craft/buy some armor and weapons, as others have said. I got a crap load of stuff from doing rifts, such as the item enhancement things and collectibles, im sure you could get some decent coin selling those. You act like questing is the only way to get gear
Nope ,i have already said you can avoid questing but it's not in your interest to do so unless you want to gimp yourself.
You obviously didnt play that much. The best weapons and trinkets in the beta come from doing Rifts. At level 20 you could get blue weapons from the quarter masters and the rare planar goods vendors + blue essences. You can also gear entrily from crafting and doing the dungeons.
At 20 in the last beta once i hit 20 i bascially replaced all my shitty (yes it was really shitty in comparism) gear that i got from quests while leveling with blue gear from quartermasters, rift vendors, realm of fae, and crafting.

Read my post lol, i have already said that grinding rifts will get you blue weaps starting from level 15.
The dungeon starts at level 17 so until you reach 15(grinding rifts for blue weaps) you need to quest to get any decent items.

Oh wow really you have to quest till lvl 15? man that really sounds to me like a deal breaker. duh! considering it takes 2 to 3 hrs to hit lvl 15. You are complaining as if game ends at lvl 20.

Saying the combat animations are not good is one thing, but saying the animations themselves do not execute smoothly is another thing. You guys are arguing about two different things...
Yes... some of the attack animations are weird looking. I spent my time in the beta events playing as many class combos as I could, and I found that some of the animations looked cool, others looked kinda silly.
However... the animations themselves I found to be pretty fluid and smooth.
Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
The combat mechanics are fluid. The combat animations need work.
Stop combining the 2 into one entity.
And when will people learn that most WoW players will never let go of their game or open their minds to new games. It took me about 8 months to let FFXI go after so much time put into it. I recall all too fondly slamming every MMO that wasn't XI, including WoW.
Personally, i'm really enjoying Rift so far, but i also enjoyed the first 20 levels of Aion, so i'm remaining cautious until i see the entire game. I've been waiting for an MMO with fluid combat that doesn't look as hideous as WoW or is as dull as LOTRO.
Yes it needs some work, but Trion has a full list of complaints in the beta forum to go over and it seems like they're listening. The first beta patch notes were ridiculously awesome.

There is no getting around this. It is impossible to do.
The tab or mouse targeting with the hotbar 1 thru 0 is an improvement on the old way of things. If you can somehow design a well rounded system with as much functionality to it or at least name a game in the MMORPG format that has this and is not flawed then you should not bash the current system.

Nope i have made my opinions clear on what's good about this game pages ago,perhaps you need to actually go back to the start of this thread.
As for my opinion , why should it bother you so much lol. You like the game so bully for you, others actually think the game is as i describe.
Don't worry about it ,go pre-order and be done with it.
Ill still post my experience with the two beta weekends and many others will as well. If you can't handle it then that's your problem.
I found the beginner storyline to be superb, although I'm somewhat of a sucker for lore. (Defiant) The world is about to be completely taken over by Regulos and you have to make one final push to escape through a Rift-Time machine back so many years right when the world started to be invaded. It's interesting to hear that the Defiants blame the Guardians for destroying their machines that the world fell to Regulos, while the Guardians blame the Defiants for building the machines which caused Regulos to come. Both arguments have their merits. Guardians "ascend" to the same time period, where the Defiant use the time machine to somewhat rig the "ascension" process, further pissing off the Guardians for defiling an ancient tradition.
After ascending or escaping the time machine, you spawn in an area that has two sides connected with a fallen bridge. It wasn't until I played Beta 2 that I realized that the Guardians and Defiants are bombarding each other with artillery.
Beta 1 FPS was somewhat of a disaster. During Beta 1 they increased the number of Rifts that spawn (patched about Sunday Noon) by nearly double. Beta 2 fixed the low FPS problems for many machines (I'm not sure if NVIDIA card users ever had a problem, since Nvidia has tagged the game). Many problems and issues were patched in and fixed during testing and lots of progress was made between Beta 1 and 2. Both events were very bug-free.
As far as gameplay, the Rifts were interesting but it was easy to tell you're low level. Rift invasions won't ever take over an area because they're simply too weak for the guards (which are level 25) although they'll definitely rape you without some help. To me it seemed Rifts gave decent loot. I got a couple green items I could use and on one Level 17-20 Rift, I managed to score a blue item. They were also good XP as I stopped questing at lvl 16 and just rifted to 20. I'm not sure why people are complaining that other people tag the mobs and you don't recieve contribution if you don't have the tag. It seemed like I did and I noticed tanks and healers consistently topping the charts as well as DPS. It definitely was a big improvement over WAR's retarded system.
Questing gets kinda meh, but the storylines kept me going a little longer than everyone else. I found the cheese eating quest to be refreshing. I tried Iron Tombs and Fae and they've got some decent fights for low levels, with some complexity but still not punishing too much for little mistakes, although in Iron Tombs the 3 boss encounter will definitely be some retard checks.
Hopefully, as they've promised, higher level Rifts will actually take stuff over but I can definitely see why they wouldn't have the newbie zone flooded and taken over.

No one said don't post your experince but so far you have been proven wrong on all accounts. I am also free to give my opinion. And i think you have a serious reading problem. Earlier you lumped animation of combat with smoothness of combat and now somehow you read that i can't handle other players opinion. I never said that but i have noticed how you jump from one point to another when proven wrong.

Technically the game is sound but it lacks a soul imo. It seems like it has put all its eggs in the one basket with rifts (which can be fun granted) but the core of the game (classes, questing, crafting) just feels like a rehash of any mmo of the past 5 years.
Beta 2 was more fun than 1 but i still haven't seen anything that would make me want to buy this game. Its just too average.

How have i been proven wrong, because you think different?
The animation are not good and imo the smoothness of combat is not anything to shout home about.

Actually i think the oldschool EQ/VG/UO crowd is ALOT harder to please then any other crowd out there. These old schoolers just dont want to let go of those games. These players don't like any game that doesnt meat their exact definition of what makes it a good game.
The MMO scene has changed. Adapt or GTFO seriously we are tired of hearing about how you took 10 days to recover from that last death.

I would say it was a mixed bag. Some were good and some weren't.
One of my first submitted comments was that the 2 handed fighting animations weren't very varied and felt a bit stiff.
However, I liked the magic animations and the sword and board animations.
As far as "smooth" the avatars moved from place to place very smoothly. They didn't feel jerky or didn't hitch while moving.

To me it seemed Rifts gave decent loot. I got a couple green items I could use and on one Level 17-20 Rift, I managed to score a blue item. They were also good XP as I stopped questing at lvl 16 and just rifted to 20. I'm not sure why people are complaining that other people tag the mobs and you don't recieve contribution if you don't have the tag. It seemed like I did and I noticed tanks and healers consistently topping the charts as well as DPS. It definitely was a big improvement over WAR's retarded system.
Questing gets kinda meh, but the storylines kept me going a little longer than everyone else. I found the cheese eating quest to be refreshing. I tried Iron Tombs and Fae and they've got some decent fights for low levels, with some complexity but still not punishing too much for little mistakes, although in Iron Tombs the 3 boss encounter will definitely be some retard checks.
Hopefully, as they've promised, higher level Rifts will actually take stuff over but I can definitely see why they wouldn't have the newbie zone flooded and taken over.

Lol, some people really need to make sure they know what they are talking about before they make dumb comments like..
"there is no getting around this,it's impossible to do"

No one said don't post your experince but so far you have been proven wrong on all accounts. I am also free to give my opinion. And i think you have a serious reading problem. Earlier you lumped animation of combat with smoothness of combat and now somehow you read that i can't handle other players opinion. I never said that but i have noticed how you jump from one point to another when proven wrong.
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible
Technically the game is sound but it lacks a soul imo. It seems like it has put all its eggs in the one basket with rifts (which can be fun granted) but the core of the game (classes, questing, crafting) just feels like a rehash of any mmo of the past 5 years.
Beta 2 was more fun than 1 but i still haven't seen anything that would make me want to buy this game. Its just too average.
A bad game is a bad game.
How have i been proven wrong, because you think different?
The animation are not good and imo the smoothness of combat is not anything to shout home about.
Don't get angry because you can't handle my opinion lol.
Again, how have you proven me wrong?
Actually i think the oldschool EQ/VG/UO crowd is ALOT harder to please then any other crowd out there. These old schoolers just dont want to let go of those games. These players don't like any game that doesnt meat their exact definition of what makes it a good game.
The MMO scene has changed. Adapt or GTFO seriously we are tired of hearing about how you took 10 days to recover from that last death.
My sig is a bad game. This is no where on that caliber.

To each their own, but to me , at this moment it is. Will it get better, hopefully, but atm, in my opinion it is.
