RIFT Beta PvP Duels - Recorded in closed beta #1 & 2 (HD Video)

[Anxient]

This footage is a collection of duels that I participated in during the first two RIFT closed beta events. Take it for what you will, I was just getting a feel for the game and testing out the various classes/souls.

Low level duels with like 3 abilities aren't really that enjoyable to watch, you should stick to at least level 20 duels.

Yeah level 20 duels are a lot of fun. I won almost every duel

Certainly more than 3 abilities in these videos. Nonetheless I just posted the video to share what combat will somewhat resemble in RIFT. The game isn't balanced for low level pvp so this certainly isn't a "look at my leet skills" video. If you want that kind of video check out my other more serious pvp videos (youtube.com/playerversusplayer)

Like I said, I just shared this so people could check out the basics of combat and player versus player action. I don't think level 20 duels would be much different then these duels. It is still low level dueling and proves nothing in relation to skill and balance. Regardless, I will try to get some level 20 duels recorded in beta #3.

Cheers.

Thanks for posting the vids. I noticed in one of your duels you attacked from stealth and stayed invis until your second attack ( when fighting the player named Vortice). It seems a little unfair to attack someone and not become visible.Your attack looked like a stun or something similar and by your second attack you have about 1/4 of his health down,seems a little OP to me, but w/e I know its Beta and all.
One other thing, I hope they have better death knells, or"death cries" when a player dies when they release the game.
