I noticed today that Steam has an overall rating of "Mostly Positive" for the game. Surely this must be the work of unscrupulous fanboys, right? Has the game actually become fun?

The soul combinations, rogue and cleric tanking, and chloromancer alone made that game incredible. Also the rifts were cool iirc.

Not just going full out pay to win but almost everything in Storm Legion onwards had a ton of bugs that just didn't get fixed. It's a real shame because it was one of the few more modern MMOs that did a buffer/debuffer role really well.

Thursday Next posted:What happened to Rift? A ton, but it's gotten absolutely ridiculous lately. You used to have a stacking number of Dungeon / PVP / Instant Adventure charges. They'd stack up to seven, so if you didn't play for a few days you could log in and knock out three dungeons or IAs or whatever. Well, it turns out that they weren't getting the sub numbers they wanted, so they made stacking the charges a benefit only for subscribers. Ocho posted a hilarious thing trying to argue that limiting non-subs to one dungeon / ia charge a day would actually make dungeons more active, not less.

AbrahamLincolnLog posted:From what I've heard, they just straight started putting raid gear in the store for real money. Yeah they did that. Then sold overpowered souls in 'soul packs' with a bunch of bad souls nobody wanted for a premium, because you're getting good soul 1, and overpowered soul 2, with completely unviable soul 7, 8, 9 and 10 all for the bargain price of 49.99 + VAT/tax. They also bound the earring slot to a microtransaction, then did some weird B2P/F2P electric slide and decided that the community is retarded (they weren't wrong- but not something you should actually say, because they did- on their official forums no less) and released an 'expansion pack' that had their biggest content creator/streamer delete his characters on a live stream[/url] after their community manager poorly attempted to blackmail him by threatening him with a ban if he continued to audibly trash their game and company on every public forum available. (Link) TL;DR the people that crashed EQII who eventually got fired from Daybreak games went to work for Trion and decided to run that poo poo into the ground too. Why settle for killing one game when you can kill two? Xolve fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Dec 26, 2016 |

Hahaha wow, what the gently caress. Trion was fantastic when RIFT came out and I liked how they approached a few of the tired MMO systems as well as their solid update schedule. How do you get fired from Daybreak. That's amazing.

Trion was fantastic when RIFT came out, but then they released a slew of other games and consistently cannibalized the team that worked on RIFT until all they had left were 3 interns and 2 extremely jaded community shitlords that were picked up from other projects still fresh in their graves. ArcheAge, Atlas Reactor, that other game nobody remembers, and something else have literally taken all the talent away from their primary earner and everyone that stuck around essentially got hosed in a way oddly reminiscent of that whole Star Wars galaxies debacle. Also worth noting, their new 'expansion' was 2 overland zones, 3 dungeons (one old one tuned up) and no raids- but that didn't stop them from charging 40 bucks for it.

Atlas Reactor seems like a pretty cool game with interesting ideas in it, so it will be a shame when modern Trion inevitably wastes all of it's potential and ruins everything. Pour one out for RIFT and Defiance  I guess they didn't ruin Trove yet, so maybe they at least learned to not gently caress with the moneymakers. But I have little hope for smaller games.

Pour one out for RIFT and Defiance I had fun with Atlas Reactor, it's n interesting concept, Trion just ruined it by making it a moba with a paywall. You don't have access to most of the characters, or even the competitive ladder, unless you pay $30. I'd rather just play a free normal moba, then pay for something that's just a little different.
