Any Cleric/Shaman players here? I just got battle charge and was dissapointed as it seems like it doesn't even have an animation, my character subzero style slides to its target, which is quite funny really.
My toon is a female Bahmi.
Looks funny but it does look pretty bad
That'll be the femal bahmi model doing that, I played shaman while leveling, Eth male and battle charge worked fine animation wise for me.
As stated in other posts, female bahmi's have this problem with its own racial jump skill.

Ok managed to get the game and 120 days play time for a little over £40. Kept my guy from someone's 7 day free trial and moving along nicely.
Only real issue I have found so far is that there seems to a low population and I cannot get into a dungeon group for love nor money. Tried the tool was on for 6 hours not even a flicker of hope, tried to make my own group got people but no more ;(
I am on PVP Silvermane (think that's its name)

This is what I found. i also rolled on a random server as a Warlock but feel I should move ot the OCUK server and try and get in the guild (Rogue actually feels more fun). Trouble is I CBA to go through and level 15 levels again as it feels like the game will die before I get anywhere fun. I also tried the dungeon group finder for around 3 hours with not a glimmer

Transfers are coming, though whether they will be any server to any server or restricted to people moving to low pop servers rather than off low pop servers remains to be seen.
It does vary from server to server, some servers are quieter than others and have long lfg waits. There is also the mentality (one which is increasing in MMOs nowadays) that there is little point to doing dungeons on the way up as the loot you get from them is generally obsolete a few levels later and you can level so fast without the dungeons that you can bang up the levels in no time anyway. Then at level 50 you will be running the dungeons many many many times anyway, and so many people just skip them on the way up. Which might account for the queues. For instance, I have so far found that the first 2 dungeons are not too bad to get groups for, but after that its much much harder to get groups as people seem to stop bothering with the dungeons and just level up outside instead.

Thats the thing, It is the first 2 dungoens and I don't reall want to miss the content. The server I'm on is also listed as "High Pop" so Id have thought there would be something in 3 hours...
Might try again tonight and see, if not then I'll just bitethe bullet and re-roll on the OCUK sever.

I wouldnt worry too much about missing the content, at 50 you will run those dungeons 30 times so you wont miss the content

Even the IF/IT ones? Do they scale or something?

Yea. I hope they will be restricted, or have a very long cooldown at least.
After playing WoW for ages (which I am sick to death of) I'm really enjoying playing Rift. Sort of same thing in a new packaging and I love how varied the dps rotation can be even on lower levels.
Soldato
How long does it take /time played to get to max level?
Soldato
Yup even those ones, not only do they have expert versions, tier 1 and 2, but those version have additional sections to them which you dont get to do at the lower levels.
Around 100 hours played on average. Longer if you are me, as I spend time doing other stuff besides xping, though I am level 45 on my healer and my tank now

I can agree with you that world pvp in Rift is better than in WoW, but that's hardly saying much is it (nowadays at least)? In any event, I wasn't comparing Rift pvp to WoW pvp, I was comparing it to games like DAoC. And I stand by my comment that if you're an out-and-out pvp'er I'd expect you will find Rift lacking.
(And because I can't hold my tongue over things like this: if you're pvp'ing for in-game rewards you're doing it wrong!)
