Set for release across North America and Europe this week, Trion Worlds has revealed that the Collector’s Edition of the highly-anticipated Rift has suffered a setback. Originally intended to be bundled with an 8GB Rift-branded USB Flash Drive, it now appears that the Rift Collector’s Edition will not ship with the bonus included.
Players can progress through 30 levels of challenges by completing daily and weekly quests, thus earning Battle Pass experience points and rewards. The Battle Pass can be played for free and will reward players with various consumables and a set of artifacts that will literally make their pants burn – the “Pants on Fire” effect
gamigo is pleased to announce it has assembled a hefty collection of in-game events, quests and items for the “Budgie Carnival Celebration” in its fantasy MMORPG, RIFT.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the Hellbugs have reared their ugly heads once again to invade Rift. It’s up to players to fight these hellish creatures to save Telara – and in doing so – earn a number of unique rewards that will display their dominance over the Hellbugs.
oO
such a fail game, played for 2 days then sold account on Ebay..back to WoW i go
They should at least make a trial so you will know if you're even going to like the game enough to commit to all of what they are asking you to commit to if you want to play it. The beta was closed for a while, and the open beta wasn't enough time (by the time I knew there WAS a beta, it was closed). They they give incentive for people who pre-ordered (as in, commit before you know anything...which meant you needed to be in beta enough to know enough about the game to WANT it badly enough...or blindly commit).
It's like they are telling you to switch MMOs based on word of mouth alone. I'm sure it could be a good game, but they need to stop thinking that just because someone is tired of the WoW experience that they are just going to blindly switch to Rift. You need to tell people what you're bringing to the table that hasn't been done before. From what I've seen, it looks nice, the endgame content seems to have something good going for it, and though there could be balance issues in PvP and other things, difficulty seems good and balanced and fair.
The problem is that we have fanboys killing any interest before it even gets out because them, and Trion, are treating this as the best thing since sliced bread. Give me a reason to think that your game is any better and not just copying what everyone else is doing without making any improvements to what you ARE copying, THEN we can talk. It's obvious as to who you're targeting, and that's okay (though I could've done without that commercial tag line since it seemed to be more cocky than confident).
But please, give us a bit of showing of what your game even IS first. Nothing you've done outside of giving beta access has done that yet.
Been enjoying it so far, got my healer up to 37. As far as immitation goes dont games in the same genre always copy off each other? WoW will stay strong because of the amount of time people have put into characters and the friends theyve made on there. I love and play both games (WoW and Rift) but im not gonna delude myself into thinking ones better than the other. They are both amazing games in their own right,I don't see why people want one game to win over another or why they even give a shit other than to have something to argue about because in the end we gamers are the ones who end up winning. Most appealing thing about RIFT to me is that there arent 1832109 add ons to make the game super easy or a million websites to show u where everything is located or tankspot having step by step videos spoon feeding you fights (aka the unknown)...i know it'll get to the point if this game is successful where they'll be a million things to aid you in your journey but right now im havin a good time exploring the world and finding shit out on my own. No biases when it comes to gaming, as long as its good I'll be playing it
