StumblyWumbly posted:Do I need to change specs or gear or macros or actually learn how to play? Macros are helpful if used right, have a few specs that you can use for different situations especially if you plan on raiding, better gear will come naturally I would focus on the few gear 'humps' you have to get over like the +hit requirement for dungeons/raiding. Learning how to play will enhance all of the above. Pretending your post was serious, which it probably wasn't.

This is Karx. I've decided to basically shelf Rift til I can get a rig capable of running it at more than the lowest graphics. I had a lot of fun talking poo poo with you guys in gchat, and I'll be back eventually so don't kick me. :bigtran:

Zoness posted:I'll be honest I'm a lot happier with council as opposed to limited free roll but maybe that's because I'm weird but I can also see how a council system might not work really well for a more casual raid group. Honestly, I wasn't even happy doing council loot for TI's alt ID/HK runs. It just didn't feel really fair when half to a quarter of our raid changed every week. I wanted to reward people who continually came, but also newcomers who did well and I wasn't always happy with the choices we made. I mean, we needed to give gear to the people who came every week obviously so we could carry the alt run even better (and so they'd be willing to come again and again), but I still felt like a dick giving loot to a vet over a new person. It definitely works a lot better when you know who exactly is coming every week that way you can evenly give out the gear. If you look at everyone in guild, they're almost all 4 or 5 relic gear pieces now (six on one or two of our tanks.) zerocrash fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jun 7, 2013 |

Hey, whoever made the bag swastika in the guild bank, don't do that unless you're going to throw a ton of cloth in there for those of us who provide you shits with free 18+ slot bags. I don't feel like looking through it carefully for various pieces of cloth to use. Also, on that note, please start dropping any Silk, Spellspun Silk, Witchweave, or any of the SL cloth into the bag thing instead of the crafting JUNK tab. We will turn it into bags for you. Alternatively, if you want some SL 24, 26, or 28 slot bags just let an outfitter know and we'll tell you how much cloth we need per bag. p.s. don't take the 18+ bags for your lovely alts, those are for newbie mains. Take the under 18s for your lovely alts, and remember to pay it forward in cloth for newbies to get good bags.

I don't see why people see Archon as a bitch role when being a good Archon has a huge bearing on whether your raid kills a progression fight or not. The roles you don't double up on are more important not less important. If anything, being a good Archon is rather tough because you want to manage your charge for power draining and want to track when best to use flaring power in a raid situation while packing good utility. Being a good Archon is something to be proud of. Zoness fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jun 7, 2013 |

How does everyone currently playing, think the free to play will affect new players and old coming back to the game. Things are really getting slim for the Trion staff actually working on Rift. Currently, approximately 30 people actually working on the game. As an example, Former forum people are now working as devs on some features.

How is the housing system in this game compared to Everquest 2? Or anything else really that you could compare it to. I can get my wife back on board if it's pretty robust. I've tried checking out youtube/other sources but can't find anything that's a huge in-depth source for the drat thing. I was able to get the free starter one but didn't find anything in my bags to place (only found the drat thing a few days later). Also been playing my level 50 cleric that I haven't played since a few months after launch....severely behind, wondering what the gently caress I am doing...most likely going to start fresh on the 12th or soon after just so I can re-learn everything.

Pigeonfish: http://www.rifthead.com/stc/zMtMTmvlcocGpMutRgozvVcMz Dump points 50-60 into assassin. Buffs: Planebound Resilience Lethal Poison (replace with Malicious Poison at 53) Leeching Poison Curative Engine Macros Spam #show Savage Strike suppressmacrofailures cast Shadow Assault cast Backstab cast Savage Strike cast Break Free Thread of Death (use this for burst, Jagged Strike hits like a truck and you get 3 CP) #show Thread of Death suppressmacrofailues cast Thread of Death cast Jagged Strike You might want to make one of these macros for Paralyzing Strike too if you need some extra CC. Separate Keys: Impale Savage Blow Serpent Strike (you can macro it into your spam but you'll kill much more quickly if you leave it out and learn to use it when it procs) Enduring Brew Poison Malice Slip Away Hidden Veil You can pretty much take any at-level (maybe +1) mob 1v1, including elites. This spec has no AoE, but kills decently quickly anyway and will basically never die unless you have like 4 things beating on you (and then you pop Slip Away). Open from stealth with Expose Weakness -> Jagged Strike (obviously don't wait for EW to come off cooldown if it's not already up). Don't ever use Assassinate it sucks. Also remember you have Incapacitate to keep pulls clean! You should probably take the CC talents (Foul Play, Blinding Powder) first, then Magnify Pain, then Debilitating Poison as your last point because it's kind of worthless when leveling.

I like doing the more boring, support-style roles that don't get top DPS on the meters. When I raided I was our guild's archon or extra healer. Rarely did I DPS and I didn't mind.

I took 3 18-slot bags; I didn't leave anything in return, but I'm not high enough level to encounter silk. Do you want us to put in the lowbie level materials we grab too? Also, is there food/items in the AH that increase XP gain? I've been using those veteran reward xp potions, now I'm addicted.

It's because a lot of people see being an Archon or Bard as a sign that your DPS isn't good enough to actually be put into a DPS role, so they get it into their head that support roles are some kind of punishment. I agree that a good archon can make or break the fight, though. I might have to learn it because from the one time I did it last night I really enjoyed it, and that way I could be a special snowflake.

It's ok to take 1, because that's what they're there for, but taking 3 is just being kind of a dick to any 2 guys that're in the same position than you are. Remember that you're not the only one that might need them, and since you won't be able to give nothing back for a while, don't abuse the fact that goons are generous to guildies. I took 1 on one of my guys and that's it. Even if I'll probably level another one and maybe even make that one my alt, I'd feel bad taking another bag, since I know I won't be able to pay for it for a while.

The limit on the bag tab is 3 for a reason. We can refill. My complaint was directed at the guy who made a mess, splitting stacks of cloth up and scattering them around in and amongst the bags in order to draw a swastika. I don't think the swastika is particularly funny, but my issue was only with the fact that this morning, it was a huge mess. One guy got super angry about my post above, but I think that had more to do with something else and he was looking for an excuse. I don't care, it's not a big deal. Everything is fine.

Thanks for this! I am bouncing between this one and the one that was linked to here: http://tinyurl.com/d847byn The NB spec one is pretty tanky though and AoE, but I have to play around with both for a bit to see which one I like more.

Farts posted:How is the housing system in this game compared to Everquest 2? Or anything else really that you could compare it to. It's insanely robust. Take a look at Mouretsu's dimension sometime - he fished up like thirty boats and built some sort of horrific boat ladder to heaven, it is the most insane undertaking I have ever seen in an MMO housing. You can fish up / buy entire buildings, boats, etc, but also individual pieces (planks of wood, floor tiles.) The dimension system was designed from the ground up around the idea that you'd use pieces to build large things, which makes sense if you've ever seen people design buildings on EQ2 - a lot of it is improvised, like "I took this carpet and stretched it out to twice room size to make a wall." The dimension designers straight up knew that was going to happen and so they added pieces specifically to be stretched to serve as floors / walls for custom buildings. Also the controls are really, really easy to grasp. It's very visual - when you click on an object you get red / blue / green circles surrounding it for rotating, or red / blue / green arrow-lines for stretching. Madcosby posted:I took 3 18-slot bags; I didn't leave anything in return, but I'm not high enough level to encounter silk. Do you want us to put in the lowbie level materials we grab too? Yeah, low level crafting material definitely helps. Don't just put it in though, if you want to level crafting use it. Otherwise the tab just gets clogged up with all sorts of stuff and then what will we do with our stacks of 99 grieveblossoms? I tried to put in ethereal dust this morning and there was no room! If only some low level people needed to make 99x2 augments or something. Also if you are leveling Apothecary and are making dyes with stuff from the guild bank, consider putting them in the guild bank. If anyone is leveling apoth and can gain skill through dark magenta / magenta / dark cyan / cyan / dark seafoam green / seafoam green dyes, I'll pay for your non-guild bank components (vials, etc) if you'll throw them in the guild bank. edit: also if you are bad at sorting through bags like me, there is actually an auto-sort button and a "search" button next to your bags! I always have to click search to find my rally scrolls. That's another helpful new person hint: Always carry around some rally scrolls, just in case.
