Among the Storm Legion

    So I took another dive into Rift figuring I might be able to knock out another level or two tonight in the long slow grind that it’s going to take me to get to level 60 and start raiding again. Lucky me, I’m one of the many that have been cursed by the…

Conquistadors of Telara

  Hail Telarans! I’ve had some Conquest matches under my belt now. The battlefields are littered with the bodies of my corpse as I’ve respawned over and over again. Aye, the PvP in the game has not changed, at least, not from my view. Now there’s simply more people to zerg into balls of death…

Without A Soul… Train

 I’ve noticed a common complaint of people recently returning to Rift is that the game is nice, and polished, and has everything they can think of, but it’s missing something. They can’t tell you what that something is specifically, so it’s just referred to as the soul of the game (the irony is not lost…

Rift: Storm Legion Expansion Announced!

I thought maybe there was a bit of exaggeration going on with the last update on Rift. The guy who had received a box full of punny trinkets inferred them as a full on raging expansion for the game. A full 10 new levels, new zones, new raids. I mean really, I generally keep my…

Rift Expansion is Inevitable

Yeah, you read that right. Rift is breaking it out old school with an honest to goodness full on raging expansion! New cities, zones, souls, prism thingies, and probably a cape slot too! PCGamer has the scoop  What are they basing this outlandish theory on? One part is Trion being the biggest badass on the…

Wanna Have A Three Way?

Three faction PvP. Who even likes that stuff anyway? You get bits all tangled together, everyone looks the same, what color are we supposed to be?These objectives are complicated and hard! Why do I keep getting double teamed? Well, that’s the way I like it, and it seems like the bandwagon is loading up quick.…

Is 1.8 Letting the Beat Drop?

I’ve only had one solid play session since 1.8 hit, and tonight we’re going to take a crack at the new raid zone, but I have some initial impressions. First off, if you feel like your class got nerfed, suck it up and deal with it. Warriors, I’m talking about you. You are not a…

Rift Through 2012

Pardon me while I go find my jaw, it hit the floor a few minutes ago. Here, watch this in the meantime. Man, I think I’m going to need some ice. Trion why? Why are you doing this to the MMO community? Don’t you know we’ve been trained to expect hyped mediocrity and failure as…

Deep Looks: The Inquisitor

Many moons ago, back when Grim was a more productive blogger and slightly more sane member of a workforce that didn’t make him /facepalm on a daily basis there was a series of posts called Deep Looks. If by series you mean a half baked pair of posts looking at two Cleric souls anyway. I…
