[Videos] for Rift
Finally the NDA for Rift has been lifted! I recorded some videos during the past Beta Events and am now working on finalizing them.
The first two videos are ready for you two watch. The others will follow soon. 
The first video is from the first Beta Event (the one with the Defiants) and shows all bosses in the Iron Tomb Dungeon. It is probably interesting for all people who like instances. And I must admin that the encounters were not that easy and you have to think quite a bit and come up with a strategy. Thumbs up Trion.
You can find it here: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - Iron Tomb
And the second video shows the whole character creation process for a High Elf Male Cleric from the 2nd Beta Event.
You can find it here: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - High Elf Male Clerik Character Creation
*Update*
And here is another video. I have already posted a character creation for the High Elfs and here is one for the Kelari, who look somewhat like Dark Elfs. They are part of the Defiant faction and fight against the Guardians and Regulos forces. And this video features the whole intro movie for the Defiant which starts after the character creation process.

*Update 2*
I went through the rest of my video material and had enough for two more videos.
The first one shows why the name of the game is Rift. Because of the rifts of course! This video shows a Death Rift which invaded the land and turned it black and a bunch of players (including me) trying to stop it and finally succeeding with stopping it. After that we have to fight back an invasion and then the land returns to its former beauty.
You can watch it here: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - Death Rift
And the second video shows some random gameplay scened I recorded while playing. Mostly fights against named mobs but it features the video sequences you get to see after finishing the tutorials, too. For both the Guardians and the Defiants of course!

*Update 3*
I have got another video right for the fourth beta. For all those who haven not seen it yet I recorded the whole intro movie. I think Trion made it very well.
You can watch it here: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - Game Intro
*Update 4*
Here are two videos from the fourth beta event showing the newly introduced Warfronts The Codex and The Black Garden. It was the first time we players could attend these and I had a lot of interesting fights in there.
I have recorded one fight for each Warfront. You can find the videos under the following two links:
The Black Garden
The Codex
*Update 5*
I have finished another video right for the next Beta-Event: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - Guardian Endbosses
In this video I will show the fights against the endbosses of Gloamwood and Silverwood. I had some tough fights with my clerik against those and want to share the video with you.
*Update 6*
The Darkening Deeps are usually the second dungeon you will visit playing as a guardian. They are located in the northern part of Gloamwood, which is west of the Guadian starting area of Silverwood. This is dungeon is for players of level 24 or greater and features four bosses with the third one (Tegenar Deepfang) being by far the hardest one.

*Update 7*
The Whitefall Steppes are the third battleground available during beta. It[object Window]s a capture the flag type warfront where you have to capture the enemies flag (Sourcestone) and bring it to your teams flag (Sourcestone). Pretty easy to understand but the difficutly is that this warfront is huge and you have to walk all the way from the enemies base to your base - and you cannot mount on your horse or whatever mount you have. So the risk of being killed on the way is very high. It happeneded to me almost in front of our base as you can see in the video.
Interested? Watch this video here.
*Update 8*
The open beta is over and I have another video ready. This time it shows the dungeon Foul Cascade. It is located in the northern parts of the Scarlet Gorge and designed for players between Level 30 and Level 35.

Comments
Well then, I've got two more videos now.
Again another character creation - this time it[object Window]s a Mathosian female Cleric.
The females in the game are somehow looking way better than the males - at least in my opinion. But being a guy myself I always think that females are looking more interesting than other guys do. :P
Anyway, here is the video: http://www.digioso.org/Rift - Character Creation Female Mathosian Cleric + Intro
And there was a second dungeon one could visit in the beta (Guardian Beta that is). It[object Window]s called Realm of the Fae and I think think that it[object Window]s looking awesome. The instance is split into four parts (one for each season - spring, summer, fall, winter) and each part has a boss encounter waiting at the end.

TWIMMO (This Week in MMO) Rift Special Edition. Basically an hour long and very informative discussion on the "Rift Beta Experience" from the guys & girl on Gamebreaker.tv
I updated my first posting with another video - the Kelari character creation + Defiant intro movie.
-------------------------------
Leg dich nie mit einem BAOD an, oder du bist selber dran.
And another update to my first posting with two videos.
One shows a Death Rift and the other one a lot of named mobs and the video scenes which are played after finishing the tutorials. The video includes this for both the Guardians and the Defiants of course.
-------------------------------

if you ignore the fact that it has better graphics, it looks like WoW.
I like the idea of a lot of the stuff in the game, but I doubt it would (for me at least) feel any different than WoW.
WoW+way better graphics+cool story+rifts+class system still has a good shot at being good though.
Oh and thanks for the videos. This type of video is very helpful to getting a feel for the game if you weren't in the betas.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
You're welcome.

One thing I have noticed when watching Rift videos that it looks boring and static to watch (like most MMOs already out). I haven't really seen much kiting* or anything (but I didn't watch too much of any of the videos). I think thats one (of many things, in my opinion) thing that SW:ToR and GW2 have over Rift.
Does anyone else feel this way (I mean visually static because of a lack of kiting)?
*probably because I play GW where you don't really have a tank, so I am use to running in circles.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
Keep in mind that these are the first dungeons that appear in the game and aren't really suppose to be a huge undertaking to clear either.
And these videos are from the Beta, so the actual game may be a bit different after release.

I added another video to my first posting - the whole game intro of Rift.
-------------------------------
Leg dich nie mit einem BAOD an, oder du bist selber dran.
Give them videos of Gloamwood city area and the 'advanced' fire rift. You know which one I'm talking about. Statues that shoot fire out on people and such.
This game is starting to really show its strength. Imagine that, once you get out of the starting zone. Go figure.
Will do - when the servers are back online.

Another update to my first posting. I added videos from the last Beta Event with lots of PvP fighting in the Warfronts.

The combat is like WoW but with better graphics on the characters and the world right now in Beta 5 soon 6.
But the combat effects are poor and the animations are right now very limited, close to nothing even if you attack with different spells/attacks.
Here WoW have better effects and yes, better animations. Even if the character might look like shit, the body follow the attacks better and bring more life to it.
I'm not a fanboi of WoW, I hope Rift get more updates on these things and then I might bye it also. Tho it have little bit too much of a WoW look for my taste. Well maybe the add ons and stuff can change that later on.
Thank you for the videos.
Not all wow animations are good like worgen attacks are so hilarious
I respectfully disagree with everything you said.

Waiting on: GW2, BP
