Available for both.

I guess I should have specified, is it available through a web browser? I am one of those wacky people who don't have cell phones (actually I do have a work cell, but its an old-school basic cell).

Mobile app only. It offers guild/friends chat scratch and win cards and zone event alerts of the top of my head.

I guess there is no web based version due to the fact if you're using a browser you're most likely at your computer and could play in game?

Awww...I wanted to scratch and win swag. =(

Try that android emulator for PC - probably works on that. Bluestack I think it's called.

Thanks Wocky!

Well if your looking for an awesome game that requires a bit of thought to play, then RIFT its your best bet, there are some fairly simple specs still remaining, just 'most' stuff has been changed so there are not more 'GG' Buttons, which overall I think has had quite a positive impact on the game ^^

Hopefully someone can help me here. I am 38/39 carnage quests in the Stepps. I have scoured the map and I cannot find the last mobs to kill for the carnage quest, is there something I can do to help me find it?

**Antipathy** · 2012-12-02, 03:17 PM

There is a new addon called carnage book, I love it.

You type /Carnage Zone Name and it will print the name of the quest and its objectives for the quests you've missed out on.

It will say the location 99% of the time; for example, kill 16 spiders in the bone graveyard. which should tell you where you need to go

Steppes was one quest short. They've since turned digger bugs (or whatever) into Carnage targets. You'll find them inbetween the two Storm Legion bases

Try going to the architects that are south between the two forts, until the recent hotfix that went out they weren't a carnage and since then have become one. They were the 39th that most who had been stuck on 38 needed - since they weren't even an option at that point.

Thank you all who replied. I was sooooo hoping for an addon - this is great I'll try it at home. It's not that I default to lazy man's method - but I did mention that I have scoured the map manually with no luck, so this should be nice.

Are support classes important? If I play a bard for example, will it be more difficult to find a raid group?

Support is very important. Most raid encounters require a bard and right now, bards are even good for experts since most people don't out gear them.

Sometimes you may be expected to bard. Every raid should have a bard and an archon/bm and situationally a tactician. However, more than one bard is a waste of a raid spot as buffs do not stack and that is all you are there for as a bard. I actually kind of like barding, however another rogue in my guild has the role of bard, so it always bard in 20m and I am expected to DPS. In 10m however I bard. I also have tank spec available for 5m and possibly if ever needed in a pinch.

With Rift, never expect to use only on spec. You have 6 to switch between at-will. There is no reason to be one spec all the time.

**Elekial** · 2012-12-03, 01:04 AM

In the trailers it looks like there are guardians and defiants together in a raid, is that really possible or something they just did for the trailer? (If so, is there still world pvp?)

**Fencers** · 2012-12-03, 01:24 AM

Factions are really only there for lore now. Guardian and Defiant can party up, trade, speak and even be in the same guilds. There is a huge new city that is shared by Guards and Defiant. Even the auction house & mail are cross faction.

There is still world PVP on PVP servers. Normal fashion. On PVE servers you have to flag up first and then the game accounts for faction difference.

A little intimidating. I'll need to mess around and see what else I like. I chose bard because of the idea of support, but don't really feel up to dpsing or tanking. :<

Hey, im thinking about trying rift for real - I played it a bit after release, but gave up about lvl 40.
Ive made some research by myself, so I have general idea what changed since then, but Im wondering about just one thing:

I heard somewehere that in late game you can macro effectively most of your skills into couple of macros, and just spam two-three buttons while in dungeon/raid (i mean, as a dps).
Is it true? You can theoretically do the same in WoW - but its completely ineffective, due to procs, spell priorites etc, so how it is in Rift?
