Copy wow?

errhm, since when did u see a fucking healer rogue in WoW?

tell me, i really wanna know!

same goes for warriors with pet, mage heal, cleric tank.

PLEASE TELL ME!

played my month and quit, things i noticed are.
rifts - fun at first but get annoying really fast as you are either forced to participate or move to different areas to quest as they can consume the npc's giving/receiving quests
souls - tons of combinations, but only a few are actually effective (sure classes can fill more rolls, but there are less classes..so they pretty much need to, and usually only 1 combination is effective)
warfronts - nothing special, the first 2 available are pretty lame (all i seen)
quests - same as any other mmo
professions - didnt try any but heard people constantly bitching about how shitty they were



if they didnt make clerics and rogues able to tank, only warriors could.. so either they needed to make the 4 classes they have more versatile. or add more classes
also rogues really arent healers, and since the last nerf they do minimal support heals

It's called a shaman.

Seriously, everything in here has been done before, many times. I have yet to see something in Rift that is new to MMOs. Rifts aren't even a new concept to the MMO market.

Warrior with a pet has also been done by other MMOs, as has mage healing, and Cleric tank.

Literally nothing new in Rift. Just shiny graphics and a new engine.

Number 1. You didn't play far enough into the game. The endgame content is where any MMO is. So quitting at level 30 or so is dumb way to judge the game.

Number 2. You say a healing rogue is a shaman? You are so dumb it's just astonishing. They are NOTHING like shamans at all. If anything is like a shaman it's a cleric.

This game isn't about the new stuff they supply to the MMO community, It's the way they perfected the situations in order for them to run smoothly.

MMO's will be MMO's. If you don't like the concept of them you don't like MMO's. The people that play wow still and say this game sucks is because they love their free epics. Rift is much harder then wow. A lot of top raiding guilds have quit wow and moved onto rift because of the fact that wow lost it's flavor. Wow has gone way to casual for many many players. Obviously you guys don't like the game and there is no changing that.

wow heroics are much harder than rift raids and experts. epics in wow values alot, so who the fuck cares if someone running a around with an epic, when its far worse than mine.
its just pink, but still shit.

tell me the top raiding guilds which moved to rift...?

wow is actually for casuals and experts, but u wont get it, wont you?

WoW is also boring when you've played it for 5 years.

yeah, thats the reason why i quit.
but rift is boring after 2 month

not rly, it's boring if your expecting a god to rain down and shake the MMO world, realistically not many new concepts can come out for MMO's, you can say oh well i know a few! but there's not many ideas left, rift takes what WoW had and tries to improve on certain aspects, which is what every MMO does, even WoW took from its predecessors.


Honestly we just need a game to copy WoW + DAOC with rift's graphics engine and i'd be set.


another thing about rift though is it just started out, there going to get more pvp shit more raids etc. it's going to get harder, when WoW came out were the raids and shit hard at first? not really....you have to let the game mature, you can't expect rock solidness from the start.


and people are slowly ccoming back to rift now, it went from 5th on xfire to 12th, and it's risen back to 8th so far. that's pretty damn good. Age of conan and Warhammer online never raised back up.

Please tell me where I said I quit. Don't jump to assumptions.

A healing rogue IS a shaman. Have you ever seen an enhancement shaman in WoW? Bladedancer and nightblade (2 of 3? melee dps specs) all play like a dumbed-down versions of an enhancement shaman in WoW. And guess what? Enhancement shamans in WoW have not one, but 4 heal spells! Zomg!

A healing rogue isn't "new" in any sense of the word. They just mixed and matched skills together to try to create a unique feel. But really, it has all been done before.

And perfected situations? This game's PvE content goes no farther than "don't stand in the fire." WoW may not be much fun anymore, but at least Blizzard creates unique encounters. I have yet to find an encounter in this game that has stood out.

Also, Rift is easier than WoW. Not even going to go any deeper than that. Simple encounters will forever be simple.

Top raiding guilds have left RIFT to go back to WoW because the content in Rift requires no brain powers. Hardcore raiding guilds are theory-crafters. They like having their brainpower tested to get through a near-impossible encounter. And the biggest raiding guilds have already left Rift because there is none of that here (at-least, not yet. Hopefully Trion can make the new raids a bit better...)

Don't believe me? Google end-game raiding for Rift; there are a crapload of complaint articles about it all, and most of them come from notorious raiding guilds.

Last, but not least, MMOs will NOT be MMOs. Guild Wars 2, Tera, and Blade & Soul are all taking unique approaches to the MMO format. Rift, on the other hand, does nothing unique. Rift is what I would call "back to the basics."



It was said once earlier, and it will be said again.

When Trion released Rift, they were saying that the game was ready for the gaming community. They didn't say it was ready for them to release and change it slowly over a few months. They said it was ready.

Now, why is this important? I mean, even WoW got a chance to change over time, right?

Rift doesn't get that chance. Rift is up against WoW. If players are dissatisfied with Rift in the slightest, they go right back to WoW, like mindless zombies.

Unless a game is extraordinarily polished, smooth, and relatively flawless at release, it doesn't really have much of a standing against WoW.

When it comes to going against WoW, a game can't be good enough. Rift is what I would call "good enough." It can't be "good enough" in order for it to survive. It must be superior, and vastly superior at that.

This will end when the MMO community wakes up and more and more people leave wow because they've played it for so long, WoW has been losing subs, it's not even #1 all the time like it used to be on XFIRE, it was 3rd a couple days ago then 2nd then 1st again but..still..its never dropped to 3rd or 2nd really.
