Is there an EU guild by any chance?

Getting back to rift after I heard it's going f2p, hopefully the model is any good and the game gets a well deserved population boost. I enjoyed it a lot for the two months I was subscribed, but I can't afford to pay a sub.

Also, wow, they got housing now? It looks pretty lovely, though.

Is there any action in the guild for EU players? I'm not a +-+hardcore+-+ raider anymore, but I'd still like to be able to run heroics and the occasional raid with my guildies.

Will I get this on my crazy EU time or will I find a desolated guild and be forced to pug with (non goon) idiots?

Or, if anyone's got a goon friendly guild on a EU shard, hook me up!

Man, I never intended the question to be so loaded, of course that if we want raids in EU friendly times we need to set them up ourselves.

I would do so, but I'm a noob and I won't even be raiding for a long while. I'm sure that the game being f2p will just bring more players and we might be able to get something together for alts/eu goons!

That way we can finally have a raiding schedule that takes tea and siesta time into account.

I took 3 18-slot bags;

Why? 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.

Yeah I think it was a general opinion, and since it's basically changing a variable, there's no reason to not change it super soon.

Unless they're assholes, but TRION seems pretty cool about listening to its players.

Edit: I still think the map needs an extra, secondary, objective. Like a flag that you need to carry to a base (like EOTS, if you played WoW), just to make it more interesting.

Hey, what happened to that EU players list? If we're going to start raiding as a guild we should look into having a secondary, EU friendly raid group. I'm getting close to 60 and I don't want to be left behind once I'm raid-ready!

If no one else wants to keep track, I'd be happy to edit this post with a EU/NA-people-with-crazy-schedules player list. I can't lead or form the raid since I'm not even 60 or have experience with RIFT end game, though.

vvv Yeah dude, that's why I want to get an EU players list together, I'm pretty sure between EU players and NA goons that can play really late, we could get a group together with little pugging.

I think there's quite a few of us playing in the NA servers, and the lag is minimal (a little worst the last few days), and since f2p will only attract more people, I'm pretty sure the guild will be active 24/7 (if the new EU players actually roll with us)

I agree, let's change to hailol,!

We can change to other place in a week anyhow, and that way goons can keep bouncing from shard to shard like a virus.

I had the same experience, but din't worry, you iust need to soldier on for a little while: once you get some queat greens everything starts to die faster.

It's actually pretty fun when you actually feel a lot more powerful as you do more quests.

One thing you need to do, though, is check your build. An optimal leveling build will go a long way.

I'll be rolling up a cleric as I enjoyed one back at launch, though I only played for a short time then. Back then of course, it was using a standard subscription model. So with this free to play model, where is this 'Storm Legion' expansion I missed? I can't see anywhere to buy it, unless it has been rolled in with the base game and parts of it are now on the store or something?

On the store, how is it? I assume the stuff is pretty reasonable, not required, etc?

I think I remember reading near launch that pubbies would apply to join goons, and were made to join goon TS / etc and discuss holy scripture. I think I remember some recording of it, too. Anyone still got that, if I'm recalling correctly?

Forget about Storm Legion, all the content in the game is free and doesn't require purchase.

The only thing from the expansion that is not free are the souls, one spec for each calling, and can be bought at the store!

Unrelated, I'm running bard/tact in regular dungeos at 53 and my healing is pretty drat sick! I can't solo heal, but I'm usually like 5% behind the actual healer. I'm guessing the coming rogue healer soul will be focused on single target, since it looks that bard has raid heals covered.

Tactician I found stopped being useful for leveling after you leave the first Storm Legion zone. Everything just starts to hit too hard and its self healing can't keep up anymore but before then it's pretty good. Harbinger though is really good, especially when paired with chloromancer. I'm not sure how good it is pre-50 but I made the spec during Rift's Storm Legion beta and it's still the spec I use now at level 60 soloing.

I'm 56 and everything dies super quick to my tactician. I usually pull 4-5 mobs, no problems.

Now, what? Some goons told me to do conquest, and I'll try it just to see what it is, but I'd rather focus on PvE.

On that note, which rep should I level first? I got a quest reward for the first lvl 60 chronicle and it's a scroll that vies 300 rep with any faction, but I don't know which one to choose. I'm a rogue if that matters.

Also, since I'm reading about just one raid group, I'm guessing EU goons are poo poo out of luck raid wise, unless we can play at ungodly hours, right?

Thanks for the help, goons, and thanks specially to (IGN) Rolle, who crafted a couple of epics and gave me tons of advice.

Last night I actually managed to hit 301 hit after buying a few cheap enchants and some gear. I'm ready to suck at experts now! I'm running Hunter, since I'm guessing melee needs a bit more gear so its a little more durable, and Hunter is pretty fun and up until now I've been top dps even against some dudes with epics.

And as for the 150% mount, I'm TWO loving CREDITS away from buying the spider, so I guess I'll drop 5€ to actually get that and be left with some cred for something else.


Also, Conquest sucks, Trion should fire the guy that came up with that.

I'm guessing there's still no way to transfer between regions, right? I'm starting to think that rolling with the goons was a bad idea as an EU player, since I will never get to raid with US goons and it looks like there aren't any Europeans around.

If it's a matter between leveling another character to 60 from scratch and not raiding, :suicide:
