    cant see any attraction in this game atm, will stick to EQ2 for now....alot of good improvements from beta 1 - 2 but just cant make meself play the 3rd...just too boring to me, and have yet to have a lvl 20 character, wish I could see the fun of it tho lots of good people in the beta.

    I played beta.

    I will not suscribe because i don't play that much mmorpg or video game generally  anymore. Today, i always like to try mmo specially F2P or P2P when beta.

     

    However, about Rift. I already said. My opinion is Rift try to use lots of (very good or very popular ) concept from others games : Instance, 20ppl raid, no zoning effect, 2 faction, title, achievements, dynamic event/war , item collection, battlground, pvp point and pvp shop, skill, multi spec (role)...

    For those who played recent mmorpg it is clear. It is not a problem to me because i don't think we can now really bring new concept. And as far i can see, they did it well.

    Except their mixing classes (from your archetype of course) is their new concept. At our low level some skill from certain class are very powerfull compared to others. i don't think in the futur, there will be real mixing. Same classes mix will come often but i can be wrong (like "love", all speak about "love" but  reality majority of couple is not that "mix", ok i stop ^^) But the idea is original.

    We just have to wait the release and see high end content. it is here we will know the real result. I remember games, beta was good, sale at release too but some months laters it was a fail : like Aion or WAR (i just played beta and yes beta were goods)

     

    For now, to me the 2 major problem are :

     

    1_ the config requirement / game engine

    On my computer(core 2 duo 2.66, 2gb ram, 8800 gtx, xp sp3), game doesn't run smooth when i compare with WoW, WAR or Aion even AoC.

    I read, people with big config got low FPS too, others say it is good. So there is a little problem here.

    I didn't see any FPS fall (like Vanguard when i open a door...) so it is a good point but i say FPS is currently low. Not negligeable for a success.

    To me it was one of WoW good point (compared to EQ1 with its lastest extansion and EQ2 at release) with instance and no zoning effects.

    If i were a new mmo conceptor i would bet all on these 3 things first

     

    2_ lack of roleplay (or things i like ^^)

    no race city (maybe hidden in others zone?)

    no opened house (i like going in house laying on bed ^^)

    little too dark to me i like when blue sky and green grass (maybe hidden in others zone?)

    I'll be buying it..

    Im enjoying it,especially mixing up the soul trees to make some pretty unique classes.

     

    Either every MMO out right now has ran its course or isnt worth the time.To me,Rift is worth it.

  • VolgoreVolgore Member EpicPosts: 3,872

    I'm not so shure, but the more i play the more i like it. It has something of my early days in EQ2 and WoW, when one stopped at every flower and there was no item race.

    Reading these forums and all the negativity, sometimes i also tend to think "hmm...rather not....", but actually playing Rift i always find it's really fun.

    Guess i should read less and play more.

  • AglarannaAglaranna Member Posts: 204

    As of right now I'd have to say no, I won't be buying. Maybe the subsequent betas will change my mind but I am doubtful.

  • slprslpr Member Posts: 340

    The game is fine, it's pretty polished in some aspects, which is a thing  i like. But i think it's not enought to make me sub... after two hours i got bored.

    6 dollar min now a days for a movie.

    7 bux for a book.

    People spend tons on alcohol and cig's.  I bet  at least 30% smoke weed.

     

     

    Of all those things, and granted it depends on just how much you play, 15 bux a month for Rift is no where as expensive per hour as any of those other forms of entertainment.

     

    It all goes with perception and market. As an absolute value, 15$/month isn't much. But then you compare all the P2P games together: WoW, Aion, WAR, AoC, EVE and so on, and you can note a strong difference in the quality of their offer despite the same pricing model.

    Thing is tho; Weed offers quality entertainment, Rift does not! :P

     

    Played the beta and voted no.

  • Hopscotch73Hopscotch73 Member UncommonPosts: 971

    Couldn't vote because there was no "not sure" option.

    I've played all three events, and it's undeniable how quickly Trion are working to respond to feedback - which gives me a good feeling about them. The game itself... less so.

    As of right now, I'd be a not sure leaning towards a no, but I'll keep playing and keep an open mind on it.

  • sidhaethesidhaethe Member Posts: 861

    I was following this game for years, but not personally interested in buying it until I played in the first beta weekend. Having now played through two, nearly three beta events, I will definitely be picking this up at launch. I also intend to subscribe (despite generally despising subs), although I cannot say I will stay subscribed once Guild Wars 2 comes out.

    Just got into beta 3. Got to the first main town area about level 10 and I am definitely subbing this one!

  • MikehaMikeha Member EpicPosts: 9,196

    Rift is no thanks for me. Its just more of the same.

  • reb007reb007 Member UncommonPosts: 613

    Rift is something new, and it's very stable and bug-free. It takes many great things from other MMOs, and implements them in similar or unique fashion.

    I love building my own class. I've been having a blast mixing and matching souls. Can't wait for release.

  • Alchemist322Alchemist322 Member Posts: 51

    I will be playing this game.

    At the moment it is indeed an amalgam of several other games, WoW, Warhammer and EQ2 and on its own that's nothing overly special. But it is entertaining enough for me to play and see where they go with it from here. All 3 betas have been the single most stable/enjoyable beta period I have ever seen, and for me that's enough to give it a serious go.

  • UlcerateUlcerate Member Posts: 6

    the game is seriously awesome, everything I love about mmo's put into one game. Doesn't confuse you from the start, works you in real nice and plays so smooth. Not to mention the extensive class selection and customization. Everything done wrong in the passed seems to have been done right, not to mention the smoothest beta to ever have existed. 

  • AnnwynAnnwyn Member UncommonPosts: 2,854

    Poll lacks an option "Maybe".

     

    I'm in the Rift beta, having fun, but I'm still not sure if I'll sub or not once the game goes live.  It's really fun but I'm not sure it can hold my attention for long enough to make me sub, so I'm still on the fence.

    Rift is just not the type of game I am looking for.

    Ehh ? yeah it is no TERA ofcourse.

    I have played what Rift has to offer in many other games that came before it.  

     

    Shall you flame me because I crave for something different than the norm ?

    First of all there was no flame and it was very honest opinion. Rift is not Tera and as far as different from norm, i don't want to go offtopic here but TERA is not all that different, it is just merely refining on the features that already exists in other MMORPGS.

    Lol, what a crock of  brown stuff..

    What features have they refined,come on please tell us what you think rift does better than all these other MMO that have come before it.

     

    World=nope

    Quests=nope

    PQ=nope

    Graphics=nope

    Voice overs= lol no way in hell.

    Animation=nope

    Weather=nope

    Dungeons=nope

    PVP=nope

    It has glue.

    It's glue is the most shiny and new glue.

    This glue bonds together all the previous things that made many games successful.

    Graphics quality similar to Everquest 2 and Warhammer but better.

    PQs from Warhammer but amplifies them, puts them on steroids and marches them around to destroy you and your way of life.

    Questing similar to World of Warcraft, but it starts off at a more advanced pace and never lets go..better than WoW pre-cata

    GUI that is similar to WoW's original GUI but with all the changes you could ever ask for.

    Class system that has to be played with to be believed. Huge versatility making this one of the shining gems of Rift that most all AAA games before it wish they had.

    Armor and Weapon sets and crafting that combine with your choice of souls to make for some extremely varied play styles over the course of the game on the same calling.

    Crafting that takes from WoW and makes it less boring by speeding it up just a bit. Not much, but noticable.

    Dungeon runs in this game are about on par with the later level dungeons in WoW which once again speaks to the mature level of content being offered here from the questing thru the dungeons and even the PvP elements...they all shine in this game and come together with the shiny new glue.

  • kingotnwkingotnw Member UncommonPosts: 103

    It just doesn't do anything for me. I wanted to like it... Was expecting to like it... and its "fine" I guess... I'm just getting tired of that mold of mmorpg I suppose... I feel like I may as well play one of the games I already own.

     

    Maybe if it ran better I would at least enjoy it for a little while. As of now... My interest went from high to low and I really have no intention of subbing at this point.

  • meddyckmeddyck Member UncommonPosts: 1,282

    I haven't been in the beta events. I'm also a "not sure". I hadn't even been considering Rift until the beta events started and Rift got heavy coverage on MMORPG.com and elsewhere. With GW2 and TOR appearing likely to release in the 2nd half of the year, I could use a new game to play in the meantime. Two things are holding back from committing to Rift right now:

    1) Apparently there has no been PvP in first few beta events. I can only tolerate so much PvE before I want to go fight other players. I want to hear players[object Window] reports on PvP before I[object Window]ll consider spending $50+ on Rift. My impression is PvP in Rift is mainly instanced battlegrounds similar to WAR. If so, that[object Window]s pretty much exactly what I[object Window]m looking for right now. But the question is: are they fun?

    2) My system is 3 years old (3.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo with Nvidia GTX 260). I don[object Window]t plan to upgrade until GW2 and/or TOR come out. So if those specs aren[object Window]t enough to play Rift reasonably well, then I won[object Window]t buy it.

    Graphics similar to EQ2-Warhammer,oh so Rift hasn't taken the best graphically looking MMO and made them better?

    It would have to have better graphics than AOC  for it to have taken the best and refined them.

    So i guess graphics is not one of the things RIFT has refined.

     

    PQ..lol don't make me laugh, Warhammer PQ are way more in depth than RIFTS.

    Rifts, RIFTS are a zerg to see which group can tag the boss for boring rewards that you hand in for planar items,it's a boring grind with the same boring mobs that spawn over and over again,nothing ground breaking in that.

    GUI ,erm still not better that WOW it really isn't anything new.

    Questing.. starts off at a more advanced pace LOL,what a crock of rubbish you are talking. The quests are boring and easy mode that are your hand holding collect and kill type,really boring easy stuff.

    Armour and weapons are the same typical stuff you seen in all MMO,nothing new in that at all.

    Crafting..erm the same boring system WOW has,not even close to Vanguard/swg,it's real standard stuff.

    Really, the dungeons so far are easy and and your typical tank and spank,nothing great or new about that.

    I guess you need to change the glue you are using.

    You love it and i can understand why some who find it hard to actually concentrate for longer than five minutes do to.

    Rift should be a FTP mmo ,no way is it worth a monthly sub.

     

    Yes i am a VIP tester from beta1-3.

  • ironhelixironhelix Member Posts: 448

    Played the closed beta for the last few days, and I will not be subbing. Game is a re-skin of about 5 other, better games. Anyone who would play this is just playing it for a change of scenery, and not for any tangible reason. A quick buck will be made off of the people who are just looking to play ANYTHING that they aren't already playing, and then this game will disappear into oblivion. When we as consumers stop paying for this bullshit, then they will stop churning it out. It's really our own fault.

     Really I don't think they even polished the graphics,  there's been some post on haw bad they were.  I posted my self how similar they were to both wow and warhammer.   All rift has done was to take a look at several mmo's and incorporate what already existed.

    All rift offers is more of the same,  I already have that and there is no reason at all to sub to this game.  Everything I have seen already exist in other games.  From Warhammer, AOC, EQ2, WOW.  Yes we just cut and pasted and over hyped the game.   And yes I beta tested all 3 events.  I want to see how the pvp stuff goes and go from there.  

    Right now it is so uninspired.  I call it a clone and anybody else with half a brain can see its a clone.

    Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

  • BashirBashir Member Posts: 85

    looks good but i'm looking for something with a bit more meat on it.  i felt like i was playing a mix between, warhammer/aion/allods(models reminded me of that game for some reason, text too).  who knows down the road but as of right now, i'm not interested.
