I took some time thinking about it over the past weekend and while originally I was super pissed when they announced F2P to be honest...its probably a move that will not only save the game but bring back old players / bring in new players better than any content ever could. Lets face a couple of facts first:

-People don't like paying for monthly subs, ever, period.
-People end up spending more in cash shops than they would on their monthly sub most of the time

That being said realistically I think the F2P move will cause a major boom in the population which the game desperately needs (we all know it even if some people on the forums won't admit it). Hell look at TSW and TERA, two of the absolute worst MMOs on the market and F2P brought in a landslide of new players for them. Now picture that but with a good MMO like Rift.

My hope is that we see a ton of returning and new players, and I hope that in 3.0 they ditch this empyrean steel crap and get back to the fantasy themes that we all came to love in vanilla rift. ]]> General Discussion Saeleth http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/general-discussion/359390-f2p-rift-move-likely-saved-rift-all-reality.html Is ArcheAge still going to get released? http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/off-topic/359389-archeage-still-going-get-released-new-post.html Mon, 20 May 2013 12:19:30 GMT I'm just wondering has anyone heard if Trion is still planning to bring out ArcheAge here in light of the article about massive layoffs hitting the company.

All people know they must have Expansion in their accounts, its not a problem pay for it, but

-if someone buy your expansion at your webpage and add to their rift standard account it will come with 30 days?

-iif someone buy your BOX expansion at amazon and add to their rift standard account it will come with 30 days?


Its a good idea if it not come with 30 days, add them, pay for expansion + 30 days is a lot to play only less than a month, but if you add 30 days at that purchase, you can gain extra cash and lot of people will buy it.

I am leveling my first character through SL content at the moment, and I fully agree with this.

With the coming release of F2P, I feel that if Trion does not buff leveling speed in SL, many new players will complain, and potentially give up, once reaching SL content. They will feel as though the exp boosts from patron/store items will bring leveling to a 'normal' speed that they are used to in other MMOs/pre-SL content. I think that many players will quit the game when they are faced with spending 5-6 hours on a level without paying real money.

A lot of people will come to this game to try it's endgame. That's why I came even before the announcement of F2P. How many of these people will quit when they hit 50 and find out that the last 10 levels will take them as long as the first 50?

I think Trion needs to speed up SL leveling, or risk losing a lot of players who would potentially stick around for years at max level.

These players are likely the same players that want to wait till they have seen 'real' content before dropping money into the game, and if they are scared away before Trion can hook them on 'real' content, then they (Trion) will end up missing out on (potentially) a lot of money. ]]> General Discussion Bloodsail http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/general-discussion/359384-coming-rift-f2p-leveling-speed-sl-needs-buff.html Important tips for your class. http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359383-important-tips-your-class-new-post.html Mon, 20 May 2013 08:45:00 GMT Rogues
Stop playing Tactician. It sucks now, its not broketician its garbtician.


Mages
Stop using LGV in your DPS specs.
You can't be healed by actual full 61 point chloros you fool.
Learn your class, you have had 60 levels to do so.

Clerics
No Druids please.
If you're also the only Cleric in the WF. Put on a Senti or Defiler spec.
Mages can't solo heal WF's. They NEED you in order to be viable healers.

Warriors
Stop playing tank specs.
Its cute when you run around pulling people feeling like you're helping, but really, you could do the same bloody thing as an Rb/Temp and actually be capable of killing the people you're pulling.

Oh and stop pretending like you can heal people. You can't. >=(

I remember having a lot of fun with the Bard rogue class combinations and chose to go down that route.

I am, however, confused about Motif of Regeneration. It is, according to the tooltip, an AoE Heal skill that is supposed to heal over time and buff incoming heals by 5% for 20 seconds however I am noticing that, when I use it, I am the only one out of my party that gains the benefit of this buff. Is there something I am missing or misunderstanding?

Here are some words of wisdom to live by/things we've learned from Skreamo's Birthday thread.
Always use spell check before posting
Always play tank spec's in pvp
The thug life now accepts trannys
Wrastion is the #1 everything besides "FAHRENHEIT", (don't worry i don't know who that is either)
Always have cleanse on your bar
Now that those very important things are out of the way...
Have a Happy Birthday!

Of all the things that are bothersome in Rift PvP, I think this is the one that keeps me (and perhaps others) from PvPing very much.

I get that a small segment of the Rift population is Hardcore PvP, and I respect that they take Warfronts just as seriously as I take raiding. However, their premade groups with crushing levels of gear decimating my random solo queues pretty much robs me of any joy in PvP.

There's no surer sign that a Warfront has Gone Bad than joining a WF already in progress with the enemy team literally waiting outside your spawn area, waiting for anyone to be stupid enough to jump down. Of course, you have to feed yourself to the enemy team, or else you get the debuff for being in the spawn too long.

In large maps like Karthan Ridge and Whitefall, this is exacerbated because teams get in asynchronous spawn waves, where have the team just rezzed, while the other half is in the process of dying to the full enemy team. Those who just rezzed reach the battle just as the rest of their team dies, and the cycle repeats. Organizing pugs to wait for everyone is not feasible nor likely to happen.

So, I have a couple ideas. These would all only be activated by the Lopsided Event Trigger. These would be largely map dependent.

The point is not to change the tide of the WF. The point is to make it so the losing team is able to do more than just feed themselves to the enemy team.

The Codex
Triggered when one team has all 4 points for more than 20 seconds. Deactivated when neither team controls all 4 points for 20 seconds.
2 Portals appear in the losing team's spawn. One portal teleports you to Vault and one teleports you to the far side of the tower next to Codex. This lets the enemy team escape being spawn camped.

Karthan Ridge
Triggered when the enemy team has both Sourcestones and at least a 1 point advantage. Deactivated after 90 seconds or the losing team scoring.
A new Sourcestone and a Jump Pad appear near the spawn. The Jump Pad will fling you to the central porticulum and can be used while carrying the Sourcestone. If the special Sourcestone is dropped, it can't be picked up and immediately respawns. This will force the enemy team to push to win the game or else defend their reactors. Either way, spawn camping won't work.

Whitefall Steppes
Triggered when more than half your team is dead at once. Deactivated after 60 seconds or upon half the total enemy team dying.
Everyone gets the Red Wings buff upon leaving spawn for 45 seconds. The closer the enemy team is to spawn camping you, the longer they will have to fight you with the buff.

Black Garden
Triggered when more than half your team is dead at once while more than 100 points behind and the enemy team has the Fang.
A Lesser Fang appears in the spawn area of the losing team. If they bring the Lesser Fang to either of the Red Ball Huts on the sides of the map, they will be awarded 50 points.

Library of the Runemasters
Triggered when more than half your team is dead at once, while controlling no Rune Vessels and more than 100 points behind. Deactivated after 60 seconds.
The losing team receives the Red Wings buff any time they are in the lower trench area of the map.

Port Scion
No change. Spawn camping does not seem to be an issue in this Warfront.

Again, these changes are not intended to turn the tide of the WF. Instead, they give the losing team a way to escape being spawn camped and/or to do something to earn points, even if its not enough points to win. ]]> Dunharrow http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359377-lopsided-warfront-solutions.html Things I Would Like to Know http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/general-discussion/359376-things-i-would-like-know-new-post.html Mon, 20 May 2013 07:43:02 GMT Why can't I stick with one character? :pout:

I just have to vent and share at this point in time. So many new things coming and I want to know so bad what they are.

First one is paid item count increase. Omgosh I want to see how many items that is so bad. is it 200? Is it 2000? Is it 20000? I highly doubt the third. If its the first I am going back through all my current dims and adding back in everything I took out for other things. Like plates and boats and flowers here and there. If its the second. I am totally going to see if I can smash sweetheart sweettart and sweetbriar into my moonshade dim. I am also looking at the whole. I made this larger so I wont use 2 items thing.

Then there is the new items. Flowers furniture decorations. What am I going to want in my dims. How many things am I going to change in my current dims, because I found some new stuff for them. What kind of things did we not ask for and now have. What did we ask for and now have holy bananas.

New dimensions holy crap I am so excited here to. What am I going to fall in love with and want to create in. I have watched the live stream I kid you not 9 times now just watching Elrar walk through Hailol over and over each time. I love it just the way it is I cant believe its all pink omgosh. I cant picture me doing anything to it but sitting there looking at it for hours and hours. What else is there if the first one makes me never want to leave holy crap I'm excited.

If you cant tell I cant sleep . I haven't been able to since the live stream. I have gone fishing for 12 hours a day all weekend because I am trying to make myself sleepy. I have managed 3 hours at a time before I dream something about dims and wake up. So knowing me I will crash and burn for 18 hours and when I wake up no matter when it is . I will find out it had all been on the pts for 16 of those hours already hehe.
