Expectations are extremely high for the expansion! With the reveal of the new Mage soul right around the corner, Matt & Joe discuss some specifics about what it will be. Recent screenshots and images have shown a Mage wielding a two-handed sword! Is it a tank, a melee dps, or is Trion just messing with us? Your hosts have abandoned the Vigil and are now firmly seated in the ranks of the Defiant! Matt returns to the Mage and Joe picks up where he left off on his original Warrior. Find out what prompted our decision to swap factions and why Joe is suddenly interested in the Warrior once again. Oh, and did we mention the Geomancer?!

I came to Rift from WoW about 2months ago. Rift was never on my radar as far as mmos. And everyone I knew that played it wasnt really impressed with it. IO started seeing the Storm Legion trailers and was blown away, so I downloaded Rift Lite. And, fell in love. MoP just looks lame to me and everything Trion is doing is amazing imo. I really hope more ppl give Rift a 1st or 2nd chance for Storm Legion. It is an amazing game.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Andy. Welcome to Rift! While we loved Rift out-the-gate back in March 2011, it has grown into a different game entirely, compared to launch.
ReplyDeleteJoe and I (Matt) were avid fans of WoW for far to long as well and while we often have a nostalgic urge to play it, the mmo titan simply hasn't offered anything new or engaging outside of "raid logging".
RIFT: Storm Legion is certainly stepping up their game. It seems Trion has banked their profits from this past year and funneled them into this first amazing expansion. So many little things that got under Rift fans' skin, like armor and pet models, are getting total overhauls! That new Lesser Air Elemental we saw in the Mage reveal stream looks wonderful, and properly transparent!
It's always nice to hear from our audience and we hope you continue to enjoy Rift and stick around for Storm Legion, Andy!
