Instant running is HARD.. not the instacen, getting in a group... spamming chat channels for a few hours gets old too... that "other" game may have flaws, but the LFG system is about as good as it can get in a MMORPG game..
Quests, not enough, I run out in the areas quickly soon am facing RED mobs and cant complete them.
Endless Fortress is pretty good (western edge of Stillmoor). After an hour I usually end up with about 90-100 spellspun and 30 witchweave or so, along with any 250+ skill forager and mining mats that spawn there. Great AOE grind area but because plenty of the mobs are ranged you will want an AOE build that can deal with that.Now I just need to find a reliable place to farm Witchweave and I'll be happy.
You've probably put 60 hours into the game by now, and it's not surprising that you might get burnt out. I would recommend you simply stop trying to level - play with a few different builds, try some WFs, spend an evening with a rifting build, etc. And if nothing sounds fun then you should play something else, MMO's should never feel like work.CurseTheSky said:Initially I loved the game, but I got up to the mid 30s and am now burnt out. I still think it's a great game, but I can't seem to find the drive to keep leveling. Maybe I'm just growing out of MMOs in general.
been playing since beta and like and hate much of it. Im the old school, started on muds, Drakken, meridian 59, UO, EQ, etc...
RIft looks great, playes well and so on, but has some real problems. Quests, not enough, I run out in the areas quickly soon am facing RED mobs and cant complete them. I guess I gotta grind open rifts, which is cool, but boring after awhile. the player base is very helpfull but there are far to many who dont understand MMORPG courtesy.. fight your way thorgh 20 mobs to get to named and sombody who follows you the whole way will attack it the second you engage the last enemy before it. Thankfully they spawn quick (sometimes too quick, instant spawns). Instant running is HARD.. not the instacen, getting in a group... spamming chat channels for a few hours gets old too... that "other" game may have flaws, but the LFG system is about as good as it can get in a MMORPG game. Overall i would say its one of the BEST of the also rans... its not going to dethrone #1 but its a nice game.
As for that other game being copied.. good god.... there where games before it pretty much completly ripped off... Warcraft is in itslef a complete rippoff of LOTR (and they have said as much). It copied EQ which was for a short while the gold standard that proved the popularity of a MMORPG before it (which was stole from a MUD, also admitted)... etc... WOW was not the grandparent of all these games.. its just the one that made it big, combo of choseing the right things to steal (borrow), great art for such a low poly count engine, solo friendly (#1 thing that makes a game huge, wish others would figure that out), more carrots on a stick then you can imagine. HUGE Tracts of land (MP for the win!)... it just got alot right.. at the right time.. but please quit making it the original... its not.. not even close.
Just give me EQ1 w/ a completely updated graphics engine. That would make me happy.
Man we can get to the last phase on Infiltrator Johlen every time but we wipe almost always after a few bombs. I dunno what else we can do...
Did you like WOW? then buyHmm...to buy Rift or not to buy Rift...that is the question!
After being 50 for awhile I think I am going to cancel. Getting into a group just takes far too much time. Maybe I am on a now low population server, but still, I can spam in the 50 channel for an hour before I get bored sitting in Meridian without a group. They seriously screwed themselves by not having a group finder.
gear out your dps more. use whetstones and other consumable buffs. have bards pop Verse of Joy when dpsing bombs

Killing the bombs are not the problem. We get to his fourth/last phase fine. We use all of the pots and consumables. We just fricking die all the time due to bombs/blinding bombs/wisps.
You must collapse to a tiny circle when phase 4 begins, stand in the very center. Once he plants bombs people must move out and there will be space to stand between the bomb explosions and a collapsed wisp circle. Once the bombs explode you have to have everyone run back to the center. By piling everyone in the center you will form very neat bomb placements which makes avoiding them and the wisps easy.
Bombs are AOE'curable as a backup, avoiding looking at wisps should be easy now that they fixed the graphics.
We finally got him last night with only two deaths on the last phase. I don't know what we did but it was pretty flawless. Promptly killed Aleria after.
