after the last 4-5 publi groups ive joined i've come to hate the player base. the healers that were there, weren't joining the group and instead tagging a mob and running around all over the map making it impossible dps them.

*pulls hair out*

soul vitality down to 50% whatever that means.



When you hit 0% you get res sickness. Talk to a healer and pay to get it back to 100%.

What the heck servers are you guys on?


I'm on Greybriar and other than a few idiots in chat, mostly have been doing ok in PQs. I heard there were a few clerics that weren't healing. But out of over 30 PQs I was only in one where I had to heal another cleric. I was in the back spam raid healing pally style with my wussy druid/shaman/ward.


Maybe I should roll tank or DPS and see how quickly I die?

I started a sab/bard/ranger for this event, I buff/heal constantly and actually kinda like it. I only have two heals, but one is offensive and the other is a 30 second hot so I don't really get bored. I have plenty of time to put out damage/cc and stay active.

Question for you guys...


anybody know the day / night clock cycle is?


Doesn't appear to be 24 hours (yay).


And yeah, Festus, I hear that.

best I have seen is that:

the cycles are generally a couple to 4 hours long with day being twice as long as night. harder to tell as rifts darken the environment.

Thats google.

I am very nervous about the "warhammer" effect in games where the playerbase needs to really be a part of the world...or the world falls apart.

In warhammer, once the wave past, it was pretty boring.


during rift beta you have a large moving mass of players, all around same level, moving thru content...so it seems like the concept works.


switch to release and you have that same effect for around a week...then you have the "behind the wave folks".

Now the zones will fall apart; even a single rift spreads and with 2-4 players in the zone those players lose out on the ability to really experience rifts until higher levels, AND, they lose out on quests that are lost due to the rifts.


The scheme they have is fun IF, and only if, the servers can develop a "responsible" player base...****shudder****

I will certainly stick to the RP servers in the hope a few good guilds spring up that are willing to sweep thru areas and clean up rifts because it helps others and not for "phat loots". That said...last time I found a socially conscious guild was when I was in the guardians of light in ultima hehe

(next closest was actually at least some "nice players" in LOTRO, so hats off to them as well)
