Surprised to not see any posts on it, considering it's potential. Anyone trying this out?

I've read a bit about it but I've been console-ing it up these days. I want a Platinum trophy! :/ It looks decent though. But I bet my PC would crash lol....

Who?
So far it seems like WoW 2.0. Seems like by copying all of the interface systems and whatnot it gave them a lot of time to work on other things that are making the game pretty cool.

I tried out the open beta and have to say it's WoW 2.0. Sure the mixing of classes sounds neat, but it won't take long to figure out the best, must have combinations...actually many of them have already been figured out...and then it loses it uniqueness. Talent trees look exactly the same, only difference is spending points in the trees gives you your spells/abilities. Crafting is 100% identical. Rifts are just like the open party quests that Warhammer has. Fun if there is people around, but impossible to do in a dead zone (once the majority of people have out leveled the area).
My overall impression was that it offers nothing different than WoW other than slightly improved graphics.

Alot of games are copying WoW interface. Since WoW is now the benchmark of what MMO should be. Most people in XIV think that rift is what XIV should be.

Yeah its pretty much the same exact game with prettier graphics. The rift system is cool but once you got your gear/level you dont need to do them anymore (afaik). Obviously the lore is different, but how many people are going to play for lolore.
So far I was able to solo everything I came across save for one elite mission. The public grouping is a nice addon.
I guess the success of the game will depend on how they handle instances/raids. The first instance I went in was pretty cool, there was a blizzard part where you couldnt see more than 10 yards in front of you and people get lost lol.

Seems like WoW is now copying Rift lol.
They have added (or will be adding) a few "unique" features that Rift had implemented at launch. Off the top of my head the new action on keypress toggle, and the new guild quests are two items Rift had at launch that WoW did not.
Its starting to get weird.

I'm pretty sure Blizzard got the idea for action on keypress from mods like snowfallkeypress, not from Rift. |

Snowfall keypress has been out for QUITE a long time, yet blizzard hasn't implemented it until after Rift's release.
Also they copied the guild quest thing as well, not a coincidence at all. I think they are doing it b/c Rift pretty much copied everything from WoW interface/mechanics wise. A NICE LITTLE JAB TO THE GONADS

A NICE LITTLE JAB TO THE GONADS There are plenty of things it took forever for Blizz to implement based off of addons, look at the in game "quest helper" and how long the QuestHelper Mod was out before they implemented it in game. SORRY BUBBA I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG MUHAHAHAHAH |
