Hey just want to add some info alot have misunderstood in rift and what i like / dont like so far in the beta.
First off i have played wow since the beta. Raided almost all content and have prob 100 k kills overall. Played all classes to a max level and raided with half of the classes, so i can compare rift pretty well i think with wow.
First here beta.incgamers.com/Giveaway/15/massive-rift-vip-beta-key-giveaway i dont know if i can post links for this but ill try lol. in the bottom of the site theres a beta keygen. worked for me and a friend.
1. MANY TALENT TREES!! yes theres alot...BUT many ppl think that they are their own class each tree and thats not true. Take a wow hunter. Wow hunter have bm /marksmanship /survival tree. In rift marksman is the similar version to bm tree. You can then choose 2 sub trees. Ranger is more like marksmanship in wow so goes well with marksman in rift. Sabotuer is well not exactly but similar to survival in wow. so basicly those 3 goes well together.
The good thing is all those 3 trees comes from the general Rogue tree. in the rogue tree there is trees like bard / bladedancer /riftstalker. You can choose any of those as a sub tree to make example a ranger with riftstalker and you get a hunter that can blink since thats the riftstalker ability.
2. A nice thing i liked is you can be a healer in diffrent ways. example Mage > chloromancer is kinda like a warlock that heals. Rogue tree have bard that can be a healer. You can always respec youre trees so if youre tired of being a example warlock or fire mage and want to heal, you can change to a chloromancer.
3. Graphics is nice but it more a dark version of wow. ppl and mobs seems more long in detail i dont like that alot though.
4. BIG minus is almost all male characters looks pretty bad no matter how you custimise them i think.
5. Another minus is all 6 races look pretty much alot like each other. theres no thing as a tauren or undead. all have a human look in general.
6. It is the beta but atm. clerics and ranged rogues ( hunters ) are pretty op in pvp.
7. I havent tryed dungeons so cant tell.
Overall it seems ok..in beta theres as many jerks as in wow. just 1 hour ago i was questing and had 3 mobs on me and was gonna die. a dude just standing beside me spamming YOURE GONNA DIE HAHA!! so yes so far the game community dont seem better than wow. Im even on an rp server in the beta and general chat is alot spam against each other.
Hope it gave you some info Else try youreself
