What TRION has done is amazing.....Just flat out awesome. THIS IS HOW YOU DO MMOS. TAKE A NOTE BIO. If you like mmos, check it out. You have nothing to lose.

And no, im not a paid advertiser haha. Look at my posting history.....

Its the exact same game they had at launch but with more things to grind on, nothing has changed.  I think is just feels different to you for some odd reason or you only leveled to 20 when you quit the first time.  But trust me its the same game.

Last time I listened to "trust me" I ended up with a SWTOR CE paperweight.

Cheaper than that used car...

Feel free to ignore the random statements from the non-players. Get in there, try it, see what YOU think.

No thank you, i like what Bioware did. If they did MMO the way Rift did we would have small maps with mobs sprinkled like salt and two starter areas. I am not saying SWTOR is exapnsive in nature but Rift is even more limited and has worse end game gear grind since days of WOW.

No thank you.

As I understand MMO to mean playing WITH other people, SWTOR didn't really fill that role more than marginally. Great Cut Scenes, big open spaces you can't explore...and hideous interface..that part it nailed.

The two don't really compare when you start talking about MMO's though. Rift picks it up and walks away when it comes to group content. I wouldn't mind a bit more flavor if I'm reduced to questing, but watching cut-scenes every 10 seconds is a bit overkill.

What is this group content? end game dungeon grind and rift groups where people appear out of bushes and disappear once the rifts are closed? not a single world is said by anyone, no strategy, just whack everythign that moves and go your own way, it is like playing solo with bunch of people surrounding you. I leveled in RIFT solo all the way to level cap and gave up after the insane gear grind which puts WOW to shame.

In SWTOR i have grouped more in first 20 levels than i did in Rift's 50 levels.

Comparing grouping for instances with the groups that "appear out of bushes" for Rifts is dishonest, also do you really feel that Rifts need a strategy???

Just because you do not like Rifts "group content" does not mean it's not group content.  Rift excels at it whether you like it or not.

I tried to go back, but I didn't see one difference from after quiting at launch. It's not a bad game, just didn't really care for the "rfits". They were just large public quest full of clusterfuck in my opinion. People running around like chickens with their heads cut off, no strategy, no healing, just mass choas. 

I did notice the servers went from like over 100 to about 8 or so.

Just like AoC, SWTOR and a few other games, Rift is a great game...for about 3 months.  Alt replayability is out the window and the endgame is the exact same we've seen in WoW, Lotro and so on for the last 8 years.  Personally it's not enough to make me "love" the game.  I consider Rift a nice "go back and check out for a month" type of game.  Second rate MMO up there with EQ2, Lotro, AoC and SWTOR.  Third rate MMOs are where you don't want to be so they have that going for them, ;D.  Maybe when it doubles in size and add's a whole new leveling path for alts and adds different mechanics to endgame that lean toward sandboxish ideals, then it might become a first rate MMO for me.

Trion as a developer however, I respect immensely and am constantly watching what they do and am always impressed.  Impressed enough to consider always trying any of their products, like their other 2 upcoming games.

QFT.  SW:TOR is least massively multiplayer on the market, more akin to a single-player rpg/ corpg that charges an absurd $15/month for single-player rpf lobby-system content.

This dishonest portrayal of SW:TOR being more massively-multiplayer will continue from Ad Revenue sites within their misleading reviews because, well, it fits within their Ad Revenue business model to attract more Ads.

And aside from that, there is no question that the community-centric, ope-world Dynamic events that Trion has interjected into the genre, advancing upon the Dynamic event system that had been seen with another game or 2, far surpasses anything community-centric that the single-player cinematic-centric studio that Bioware has with TOR.

Not to mention the dynamic massively-multiplayer grouping system that uagments and supports more organic and multiplayer involvement versus standing in a TOR lobby shouting lfg for a 4-person flash-point that one with much less expectations on game-play continously shouts-out for to run through that same exact static content over and over again ad-nauseum.

If you can't find a group for instances in Rift your doing it wrong and if in open group content your expecting a battle plan once again your doing it wrong.

Yeah whenever everything fails tell others 'you are doign it wrong'. The point here is not whether i am unable to find groups but that Rift has more group content than SWTOR. Which is a laughable statemement. 

Both game let you solo all the way to level cap. In both games msot of the grouping happens at end game. Swtor has its heroic quests, world boss, bonus quests which let you group with other players while leveling where as Rift has so called dynamic events where people join up, whack stuff, collect loot and move on.

But yeah keep telling everyone how Rift is more group oriented.

And that is somehow worse than standing in main city spamming 'your mom jokes' while auto queued for instances and running through same exact static content over and over again ad nauseum? i think you need to read and learn what a word 'hypocrite' means

{mod edit}

By the way all forums are open to every user. You are confusing these Rift forums with fan site where everyone high fives each other and gushes over how 'awesome' game is.

You unsubbed SWTOR?  Did you not play the beta or something? What a waste of money man  =/

Good thing I played the closed beta because just from levels 1 to 10 it was more then enough for me to realize that the game is garbage and a failure.

People should test the game out before buying them. TERA CBT here I come.

All I gotta say is.....

...................what?

Yes and you keep telling others in the RIFT thread SWTOR is an MMO.

 

Move along.

Nice dodge there. But typical.

No use "argueing" with a SWTOR troll in the RIFT forum, you dislike the game yet troll the "rift is awesome" thread.

By the way all forums are open to every user. You are confusing these Rift forums with fan site where everyone high fives each other and gushes over how 'awesome' game is.

This is the Rift is awesome thread BTW.

I still love Rift too. It suffers from the same situation many games do post "max level" but what I have found (my personal opinion) is that the thing that keeps me going in Rift are the achievments. Some are easy some are hard but they are diverse. just my two cents for the OP when he does hit max level.

Rift is a great game. If I had to choose a themepark game to play it would be Rift. Unfortunately, themepark games burned me out. Right now I'm in the mood for some sandbox adventure, and EvE is the perfect game for that
