I played from 8pm to midnight got to level 11 on Wolfsbane without any issues.
Fyi. Bards need rebalancing. I'm currently building a Bard/Marksman/Ranger and the level of kiting stuff around is "AHAHAHAH".
I can take on 5 same level mobs solo and some elites solo as well by just mashing cadence after getting the talent that 100% of damage dealt with it is healed. Whats more stupid good is the channel rate of cadence is almost identical to energy regeneration so I can do it indefinitely. In short... if I can out damage the enemies damage output, I win - no matter what their level and other junk is. I'm tempted to consider respec'ing to Riftblade or something tanky and use it as a rogue tank build.
Later on I hope to tie in some aoe damage or threat gen to toy with it...
When it's 1v1, I open with swift shots, my pet charges it and taunts, I spam ranged combo point generators and hit with ranged finishers.

You're level 11, that OP-ness doesn't last that long. Way to jump to conclusions with minimal evidence.

WORD homie!
I can't think of a single class my cadence and coda of restroration out heals 1v1  , you have to mix other things in it while keeping all 5 of your motifs up to win.

Did I say anywhere cadence going to continue to end game or break the entire game?
My fault for stating what I was doing and observing so far in a game in the presence of such masters of MMO's.

I played for about five hours yesterday with no issues. Mostly ran around doing quests and getting the lay of the land. First impressions are that it seems like a game I wouldn't mind giving a chance.
When I first logged in, I had the choice of three servers that weren't "full". Looks to me like yesterday was a stress test day. Better to get it done now, than later.
What I was happiest about after playing was that I can run the game in Ultra Mode and still get very good framerates, even with my 2+ year old rig.
I do believe this game has potential.

I'm really really curious which elite you've solo'd at or before level 11 and which side, Guardian or Defiant? Was it the level 8 that walks the road? Did you take it at level 11?
Because after rolling at least dozen characters through that level, I'm scratching my head trying to think of any other elite I could solo other than one on alpha and that was long since buffed up (3 beta's ago).

My first impressions of Rift are comparable to those I had of WoW. Polished, stable (not to burst the OPs bubble but this was fixed quickly and things were back to normal), and fun. Needs some tweaking here and there, as all new games do, but the level of involvement and speed of response from the Devs is very encouraging. Is it the famed WoW-Killer? Nope, but it did make the peon cry in my case. /shrug

Actually, yes you were. Get over it. Move on.

Are you qualified to offer an opinion on his comment?
I'm guessing not.
I've worked in development and been a project manager are large software deployments. I consider Open beta a finished product. Its a stress test. Now, of course Trion fixed it or did they? We won't know until launch day. You do not want a band aid fix on something like that.
That all being said... Trion handled it well. I'm not concerned myself.
Its a little early to let the fanboi frothyness out....
