Typically, as I understand it, "packs" give you a selection of items and boosts, while "editions" are packs that also give you access to content. If you're going to spend $135 no matter what, I'd go with the Ultimate Nightmare Edition, since it'll have a longer effect on your gameplay.

If you're going to do this, Kinguin had the Ultimate Nightmare Edition for $65 last time I checked.

Went for another guild sorry Goons :( just not enough Goons playing. The cost of the additional Soul packs and the Collectors packs aside is pretty much F2P done right and is a good game to. Much improved over time.

While I'm not up for paying the $65, Infusion Edition is only $22 holy poo poo holy poo poo! Is Kinguin a legit place to get keys from? I may purchase this, as I've been playing a bunch lately and the girlfriend is hoping to get back into MMOs. Which server do the majority of goons play on these days?

Are any goons still on Deepwood defiant? Logged in and doesn't look like it - haven't played since before Nightmare whatever released. Is there an active goon guild anywhere now?

Hey, looks like I still have a gift with the Storm Legion souls in my Steam inventory, a reward from pre-purchasing Defiance.

Not sure if it still is redeemable but I havent played Rift in ages and if anyone is interested let me know!

I'd love to have the code, if it's still available. I played RIFT during Beta and a bit after launch and have recently gotten back into it; I've been dying to try out the newer Souls, but finances won't really allow. Just let me know, and I can PM you my SteamID.

How is the soloing capability for dungeons and raids? Can you solo any of the older content or at what point is it impossible to do so? I did a lot of soloing older content in WoW, but I never really ran dungeons or raids in Rift so, I am hoping I can go back and check out some of the missed content.

Machai
Feb 21, 2013

I remember soloing old expert dungeons in SL and 2-5 manning some of the old raids. With the new level cap, it should be possible to solo at least the first tier of 25-man vanilla raids.

RE: Soloing

As a 65 Rogue I had no trouble with
- Greenscale's Blight
- Drowned Hall
- Rise of the Phoenix

I had extreme difficulty with one or more bosses in
- River of Souls (Warmaster Galenir)
- Gilded Prophecy (Guurloth)

I did not try
- Primeval Feast
- Hammerknell
- Infernal Dawn

RoS was troublesome because there is no way to out-dps his 10 stacks and die mechanic. It took four people to do successfully. Same thing might happen on Alsbeth if you take too long and get unlucky with the ghosts.
GP was a problem because you can't lifesteal off of the ghosts, who will beat you down while he's invincible.

Thanks for the soloing tips and info. I figured that the biggest obstacle was going to be boss mechanics as Rift bosses seem to require multiple team members to counter abilities, where as WoW just seems very solo friendly up to a point. ( ex. a 4 man group has already just about beat Blackhand, the latest end game boss, on normal) There are also those WoW bosses that just cannot be solo'd though.

Is the rest of SL questing content as dreadfully uninspired as Pelledane was? It feels like every 3rd quest was to kill 8 of the exact same armaturas/triarii/sagatarii that I've been fighting since the start of the zone.

Pelladane is by far the worse SL continent/island as far as quest flow / plot goes.

Been rocking a tempest warrior for a little while and its fun, seems to do pretty decent DPS now I have the rotation down, but are there any other good/fun warrior souls because I have a poorly made tank soul and another spare slot or two.

Also, dimensions seem to only be good for filling up my bag space with crap, or am I missing a trick in why people think they are great?

I've been to my dimension once. I really don't find it interesting at all.

I hit 65 on my cleric a couple days ago and barely have the requirements for nightmare tide experts, which have been going ok if I have a support healer with us but I don't think I'm enough on my own. How should I go about gearing up from here?

Since the last patch, the potential for pretty-princessing has increased tenfold. Every piece of gear you find is added to your account wardrobe, as well as dyes.



Now if only progression wasn't so screwy!

Coming back to play and haven't done much since the first expansion. What pack do I want? Will the Typhoon pack give me the expansion + all new souls?

Tom Powers

You big dummy!
The expansion is free.

It doesn't seem as though the Typhoon pack unlocks the classes.


You'll have to simply buy the Storm Souls Pack & Dream Soul Pack for those, I believe. If I'm not mistaken, you can get them cheaper in-game using credits, especially if you're Patron.

You can learn a lot of wardrobe appearances by selling items back to the store. You don't keep the item, but you retain the look.

Visit the store and the special planar vendors.

Yep, the forums are decent for builds. Tank mage is very fun and surprisingly easy to run. I thought you'd have to rotate like a billion defense buffs just to not die but that's not the case at all. I'm not sure about healing rogue but they do a good job healing my Arbiter.

just started playing after being gone since T2 of SL and man this is the best thing. I cleaned out half my total bank space in 10 minutes by just sharding everything and destroying the costume pieces

I also love that they made weapons a proper part of the wardrobe system instead of that stupid transmog poo poo
