i love how every thread on this forum that is not related to game mechanics of p99 somehow turns into a troll/rant/flame thread that ends up being pages long of pointless arguing that absolutely no one on this forum wants to read.
Rift looks relatively promising. The classes are cool, there are plenty to choose from, and the trees and skills in the game are interesting. Sure, there are things that need to be done with this game just like every game as it enters beta and allows players to test and give feedback. You can only hope with games like this, that the developers will at least listen to some of the player feedback and respond by making some changes to the game that the overall community see as necessary. Part of beta is to tweak things as well as change mechanics of the game if they don't turn out the way the devs intended once actual people are playing the game.
I liked WAR at launch but after a couple weeks of playing it I was bored out of my mind and hated most all things about the game. It took them way too long to fix issues that should have been right at launch. They failed. Will this game do the same thing? Maybe? Maybe not. They have some good ideas that they have taken from multiple games and combined them in Rift. We will see how things go. People that take anything from BETA 1 of a game as "how things are going to be when the game is live" are retarded, simply put. Don't give the game a bad rap so early on, it ruins it for potential players who are weak minded and easily swayed by MMO "enthusiasts" who think they know something about video games and post how shitty their beta experience was on a forum. I'll bet more than 50% of the beta applicants for games like this playtest the game for hours and don't actually post 1 single bit of feedback on the forums or report any known bugs or glitches like the devs ask. They just play to see how fast they can level in the game and then if they dislike the way things look (in BETA 1 mind you) they go post these flame threads shit talking the game because it doesn't meet their expectations of a game they believe should be "finished" at the point of beta. Does this really help the game reach its launch potential? Probably not.
