I recommend you play a little, and then if you think you'd play for a while, buy the storm legion souls for 20$, this will give you:
- 4 new souls (trees), one for each class. Two of them are really necessary for leveling Mage and (less so, but still some) rogue. The warrior one is really useful for endgame since it's your only ranged spec, and the cleric's is kinda cool as well.
- Access to the AH (you unlock this by buying at least 5$
- An extra bag slot for all characters
- Extra character slots

It's the best use of money by far!

How do I get this? In game purchase of the souls costs a bunch of points and there is no mention of the extra bags for all my characters or extra character slots. I'm guessing this is something I can buy outside of the game?

edit: I got the game on steam and the "DLC" that they offer don't mention this either

We are now (temporarily) The Black Squirrel Riding Club. I don't know why they chose that name, but hey, could be worse. Also there are no jeeps in Rift so our guild name can't have the word jeep in it.

You spend real money to get credits then you go to the Rift store and spend those credits. The SL Souls will be unlocked on all of your characters but things like bag slots and mounts will only be on one character. I believe, and I can't be certain because I never had to deal with this, that if you spend 750 credits (5 US bucks) you get enough loyalty to unlock using the AH and character slots.

You get loyalty by buying and spending credits, for each credit you buy you get 2 loyalty and for each credit you spend you get 2 loyalty. Loyalty just unlocks perks like cosmetic gear, dimension items, and special mounts.

Yes, you need 1500 loyalty to use the AH, and 750 credits are the minimum.

Hugoon Chavez posted:

Is it just me or are warriors super unpopular? I wonder what that is, other than the fact that their support soul sucks and nobody likes tanking...
Is their DPS decent at least? I like being a giant dude in plate armor, and since no one plays them at least I'd get tons of plate drops.

I have a level 53 warrior and I don't paticularly like playing him. There's just so little variety - half or more of the souls are for tanking, and since I've just returned I cannot tank because I don't know the dungeons.
Add in that you can tank perfectly well as a Cleric or Rogue and you've got lots of other stuff to choose from it makes playing a warrior pretty dull.

So far I've only had one Warrior as a tank in all the dungeons I've run.

What's hugely annoying and was a problem when the game was new too is that when I use a porticulum to/from Meridian or Tempest Bay, my game crashes. It always does this and it did it before too, I cannot believe that whatever causes it isn't fixed!

I'm also really impressed with how they've fixed the warfronts. No longer is Whitefall Steppes the worst thing in the world.

Thanks for taking Prawns along last night... was fun to see the new Raids. I'm curious about the typical builds for both Rogues and Mages at the moment.

On my rogue I've been messing with Bladedancer and Ranger, my old standby was nightblade, but that feels a bit weaker now as does marksman. Is there anything else particularly worth looking into?

I haven't hit 60 yet with my mage Harbinger is really fun, and I played Pyro and Chloro before the expansion... are there any other specs worth looking into?

Edit also I would love an invite for my mage as well: Pavement
