So far I'm enjoying the gameplay, if a little derivative in the mechanics department. I do love the souls concept. The graphics to me are very muddled, though, like WAR's. I do like that the engine seems marginally more responsive than past contenders.

@ Sprawl, fiddled with a rogue for about 30 mins after spending a long time looking at soul planner. My daughter is planning one and she was looking over my shoulder to get a feel for how they play.
Got to: Rogues with Blink and was like:  
And yeah, I could see how you could tank with these things.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Rift Stalkers are freaking amazing with 6 different ways to teleport. You got the normal blink, the shadowstep, a shadowstep with built in ambush, a blink with an AoE ambush, a targeted (use mouse pointer and click where you wanna go) teleport, and one where you have to tie in advance, then can teleport back to it.
All of these on a different cooldown. A Rogue tank is NOT a normal tank. We fly all over the freaking map, it is fantastic!

Was JUST coming here to post how awesomely fun the rift stalkers are. Brilliant class!!
EDIT: also, this test is running MUCH better on my PC. All settings on "high" and haven't noticed any framerate issues.

This time around it has indeed been worse, but they did warn us on the official forums that this is a stress test and they are purposely overdoing it. So I'd say it's fair of them.
They also just deployed update 1, which adds better load balancing for logins and public groups.
