IYHO, what is the current state of this game?

[Maelystra]

TL;DR: Is this game still any good?

There's been a heck of a lot added since you left! Just make sure you get yourself on a populated shard if you're in the US server group. Faeblight/Greybriar/Wolfsbane/Seastone (pvp) are the highest I believe for now.

I think this is the issue, they have spent a year+ making changes for the people currently playing, mostly ignoring the major complaints of those who liked Rift, but left. In many cases thats a GOOD thing, but many of the issues people didn't like about Rift can be addressed without upsetting the happy subscribers, as a lot of these are lore and presentation type things. And the expansion looks to be doing that.

Haven't paid too much attention to the hype regarding the expansion, but from comments, looks like the info available so far has already brought back some players (although, as in most MMOs. that will probably not match past attrition.)

There seems to be a lot of excitement from current subscribers, so Trion will probably be able to at least retain those numbers. In the face of other releases, that actually says a lot.

-Wishing the game well (even as I'm moving on)

Darned edit timer :P
Anyway if the last time you played was in patch 1.2 content, well wow you've missed a LOT. We've got Master modes of all the expert dungeons, 3 slivers, 4 two-man (or well geared solo) chronicles, 4 20 man raids, Ember Isle and all its goodness! And a lot more I know I've forgotten

[Nicething]

do u need anything more than this topic ? ^^

really if u would make the same post in any other MMO forum 80%-90% would say nah just leave the game sucks.
here its different, players like the game, and they support Trion for the great work.
And if u start playing the game u will know why.


btw 90% of the Topics are positive in this Forum or normal Questions/Discussions. In other games the Forums is the place where player start whining about everything


btw Storm Legion E3 Live Video, just EPIC !! never saw a Boss like that before.

Wait....ALL dungeons have Master Modes now?

So they merged T1 and T2 experts to just make another tier of dungeons?

Woa...I guess it makes sense, knowing which was T1 and T2 was kinda annoying....but the concept of 'taking away' to 'give more than before' is kinda odd to me :P

WTB Ancient Wardstones, Trion. I may have been the only one who played with them, but they were SO fun!

Ashina is a perpetual Debbie Downer, "my glass is half full" brand of WoW fanboi. Just keep that in mind.

Im more of a 'hey, this glass is 50% water, 50% air' type of guy, I tell it like it is.

You are the type of guy that throws condescending but nonsensical insults like 'WoW fanboi' around. Now if youll excuse me, I need to go see a man about a horse.

No, only two, hopefully more soon but not holding my breath (Focus seems to be more on raids and chronicles)

How could you possibly say the focus is on raids and chronicles? They have added one raid in the last 10 months and there is still only three chronicles and only one is planned for the expansion. These clearly are not the main focuses.

And three raids and seven dungeons (not master)...The *main* focus is on more overworld content IMO but as far as instanced content it is not on master modes.

Humble opinion:

PVP needs work in its current state. Hopefully Conquest can save it before all the PVP-ers flock to GW2.

Expansion is good thing, a lot of new content -- only if priced competitively (I will certaintly not be paying $50 for it, $30 - $40 is more reasonable).

Not really sure what to say about PVE, aside from the fact that there's not much to do on off raid nights considering the only reason people did IA's were for the ridiculous planarite rewards.

Hey AK, can you pay for toffee's expansion?
