Rift

Any of you still boxing Rift? If so what's the new expac like?

I'm done with wow and for me Rift is the next best thing to box.

I've been thinking of trying out Rift myself.
If you find it to be cool, I'd love to hear yours or others experiences.

I updated my client last night but couldn't bring myself to start the game. I'm still very pissed about the AH changes.

I ran my team to level cap in the new zones. They are very pleasing to the eye and well-thought out, colorful and with a taste of underwater. Crafting is cool too, you craft only blue-quality items for all slots, and later when you accumulate enough of crafting currencies you get to craft amenders which update crafted gear to lvl 65 so you can attempt expert dungeons. I have not been doing much dungeoning myself in the new expansion, and currently taking a RIFT break and toying with EVE, but you can expect some boss mechanics that make them challenging to box. Closing major Rifts is still relatively easy, and the new minion system releaves the strain of harvesting to level crafting somewhat (especially with you having access to five toons). Well worth it and fun I'd say, and it is FREE, lol.

Multiboxing is now better in Rift. You can gear up very easy farming Nightmare Rifts.

For the expansion, overall very little changes to code, everything new is just recycled content.

World PvP now favors the multiboxer since they got rid of all PvP equipment. PvE/PvP uses the same gear, but the drops from PvP are crap. You'll be out the pwning everyone now.

Awesome - time to go back - at least I wont be bored after a week !

I only left it in the first place because I didn't have time for both Rift and wow.

What have they changed?

I've not touched Rift for a couple of months (been playing Destiny on the PS4) but couldn't see anything in the launcher notes.

Yeah, think I'm going to try it out. Starting to get bored in WoW.
The only thing I enjoy doing anymore is running old content :/

This summer they switched to a very heavy front loaded AH listing fee structure that made it easy to lose a lot of gold just reposting anything that you were trying to sell for more than 15 plat or so.

5% flat off the top every time you want to list them. Imagine what that would do in any market where you post a lot and only expect to sell a few.

It does appear that they hotfixed it down from 5% to 2% for 48 hours, though.

I'm not fussed with the ah as I buy rex when I need ingame currency.
