Rift beta?

[Martyr]

Anyone in it? I hear that it's a very good WoW clone with elements that make it even more fun. Especially for PVP. I am going to be playing in the next beta phase

If you liked WoW, but hated WoW, this game is for you. I liked it, only played a couple of hours.

Looks cool, I'll check into it.

The Rifts add a nice touch to the boring generic MMOs. Though the rest of the game is generic as can be. Thus, I find it better than WoW, except leveling.

Leveling is slower than WoW's and it feels like I have to run back and forth within the map to recieve and complete quests which gets heavily annoying.

Major/Minor rifts (Which are by far the best way to gain EXP, you gain its and very fast) don't appear enough IMO.

Rift Invasions are fun, TONS of rifts appear all over the map and thus you can gain lots of experience very quickly.

In WoW, the "fun" only comes from dungeons. Rifts you'll see all the way through leveling and they are like public raids.

I'll be waiting for Guild Wars 2 though. There version of GW2's event system doesn't seem as amazing. There's only like 4 types of rifts so it's basically the same monsters over and over.

Conlusion: It's a WoW clone (And I never use that term) with Rifts. If you like WoW, you'll like this more unless you hate dynamic-ness.

Don't forget the soul system. It really does open up to those who have/want a unique play-style. It really makes for some very cool class make-ups.

Yes the Soul system essentially lets you play as three classes at once.

So you have 4 main classes as Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Cleric and each of those have sub-classes, I think about 8.

Once you get to lv 12 or 13, you can start using different "roles" which lets you instantly swap out souls to play as a completetly different spec.

So for example, my rogue is lv 24 with a Ranger/Marksman/Sabateur spec. If I see the rift raid or dungeon has plently of capable DPS but no support class, I can switch to my Bard/Ranger/riftstalker spec, which lets me help heal and buff my allies among other things.

It's a great game for people who are "Alt-oholics". You can basically make four characters and play every class in the game without having to grind the same low level stuff more than 4 times.
