Which RIFT Warfront is your Favorite?

[Catama]

Port Scion

The only problem is that we never have enough people to start a Port Scion game even during prime time =( It's the most fun because it's a bit like world pvp due to the scenery and the large scale of it but it's also controlled and you won't end up being controlled 1v1. But as I said before, would be awesome if we could get some merging between warfront groupings since we usually need to have everyone agree on the warfront to get it started ^^ thanks!

Black Garden
At high level, it's either "they roll us" or "we roll them" and a lot of that is based on how many warriors/clerics you have. There's rarely the middle ground of a good fight, which makes it unsatisfying for me.

Codex
Very free-form, roles for both groups and solo players. You can win the match even if you can't win a stand-up fight by being sneaky. The location/power of the red orbs turns them into mini-objectives. I always have fun on this map.

Whitefall Steppes
If they have a runner-spec rogue and you don't, you lose.
If you have a runner-spec rogue and they don't, you win.
Otherwise, if the power levels aren't hugely different on the teams, fun map.

Battle For Port Scion
Despite all of the cool things that are available to do, the vast majority of BfPS matches come down to controlling the area between Church and Bridge while holding Bridge, and that leads to the problem with Black Garden: usually one team gets completely stomped. If the southern options were more attractive I think BfPS would be a lot more fun.


Codex is the only one where the less-powerful side still has a solid chance to win the game. It also doesn't have a group makeup requirement (e.g. must have warriors/clerics or must have runner-spec rogue). It also has the additional strategy that comes with the red orbs. By far my favorite map.

I would vote for the imaginary/non existent RvR OWPvP war fronts if they existed.. Sigh.

Scion is good - Gets my vote but still far too much PVE IMO.

[Trollium]

I actually every one of them minus whitefall. CTF in most MMOs are terrible. The map is WAY too big, and it usually comes down to someone capping one flag and sitting in there base for the rest of the timer to try and farm favor.

[5aito]

Codex because others are terrible balanced.

[MeganW]

Where is the "None of them" option? Seriously, they were fun for awhile. And they can be fun doing a few a day. But this being the ONLY form of PvP is exhausting. I AFK in them now while watching TV as I cant stand them having done 50 billio trying to grind to R6. Please add something ELSE other then warfronts.

Port Scion > Black Garden > Codex > Whitefail

[Decimatus]

Black Garden gives prestige 600/350 upon completion. So do the other 3. To reflect the length of the progressively longer matches, more prestige/favor should be granted on victory/defeat.

So, BG is my pick. Most efficient. Though, a Port Scion can be a good source of prestige/favor from kills, but generally only if you have a solid team and are getting tons of kills.

As much as I dislike getting rolled by premade after premade in Black Garden, I'll have to say it's my favorite. Why? Because I haven't been playing Black Garden in "that other game" for the past 7 years.

It's a somewhat fresh idea, while WFS and Codex are, well...not.

I'm not trying to knock Trion or anything. I think Rift is great so far and I'm having a killer time playing, but it's the truth.

[Chiron101]

Port Scion.

[Zeidolion]

Mine's Codex. Granted I've only played Black Garden in Codex, but from what I've seen Codex takes the cake for fun, and balance. Black Garden makes it way to easy to just turtle, and the other two lead to potential unbalances from what I've read.

Need better Balance like Codex?

[Kaladai]

All of them.

[Urtha]

None, they all suck.

[Stevoli]

I think Black Garden is probably my favorite, simply because you can drop down from the spawn area and be right in the action. Plus the matches don't last that long. It's nice to hop in one for a quick battle in between quests or rifting.

I voted for Codex being my favourite, but I'd say Whitefall Steppes is my second, followed by Port Scion. Black Garden was my favourite until I hit 50. After that point, it was nonstop premades and I sort of gave up trying it. Codex though, definitely fun!
