I loaded this up for about 10 minutes also. Looked quite drab like a ps2 game.

Played like one as well felt to clunky and the aiming system is really bad.

It's a pitty because I will prob like the TV show it's just a shame the game doesn't have the same feel as firefall when your playing
 
Now get rift and rift storm legion when preordering the game.

Wow unlocking those rewards very slowly I see, they'll probably get reward 3 just before it launches or valve will just pretend and unlock it so it doesn't look bad for them.

Is this game not that great then? Shame, I thought it might have been a bit of a unexpected surprise for this year. I doubt the show will be any good if its on syfy.
 
I checked that earlier today, it was only about a third of the way towards the level 2 unlock. considering it took several weeks to unlock reward 1, they've just arbitrarily unlocked it to boost sales I reckon.

Unlocking slow? Not at all... its already 5% into tier 3, most people waited until the last beta weekend to preorder, tier 3 will more than likely unlock tomorrow/saturday. And yes, its a great game.

Nah, it was at like 68% at 2pm today. I have been monitoring it closely and don't think there was any "foul" play to get the tier unlocked. Steam have featured it on the front page from yesterday, and has boosted sales a lot by the looks of it.

Really looking forward to this game, enjoyed beta immensely.

Not as slow as Tomb Raider, which jumped from Tier 1 to Tier 3 in 5 hours 2 days before hand? Slightly suspicious that one :P
 
Normally if a game is going to do well there is at least more than 5 pages on OcUk! Shame because i really like the look of this and do want to give it a a go but but MMO are all about high player counts.

Me too, actually think it's going to be a really good mmo, but that doesn't mean you have to blindly defend every aspect of it. It was on the Steam front page for weeks prior to that, and that progress bar crawled forward. Bit odd that when Tune took his screenshot that it was exactly at the unlock mark too.

It's exactly what you'd do if you wanted to generate a last minute buzz about the game.

Blindly defending it? How? By giving my opinion? Ok.
 
I really enjoyed the couple of days I had playing the Beta last week, I think this may be the first MMO I will like, I've also received my copy of Rift in my Steam inventory this morning :).

So you don't think it's at all suspicious that it took three weeks to unlock the first tier, despite front page advertising, and then it went through the second tier in a single day? It wasn't even directly after final beta weekend, which would have made sense.

There's marketing shenanigans going on :)
 
Maybe because there was an NDA with no news/reviews about it and there were still more beta weekends going on?.... and if you've paid any attention to other games with preorder reward tier you would see that they all go faster because the numbers of preorders needed are less each tier.

Because I was refreshing every 5 mins for the past day checking, really wanted storm legion. Not played rift in a while.
 
I have played a lot of WoW and the questing was fun with friends. I have a couple questions

Can you team up with a friend from the start?
Are there realms or is is cross servers?

Thanks
 
You can team up with them, it's probably advised you do exactly as you said; from the start because it's a pain when people are at different lines of quests.

Last I saw, there was just one server US or EU(?) which just piled people into instanced areas.
