AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Ugh, I should probably do something about the World Event. Alsbeth is a freaking betch.



Ooh boy, I hope so. I haven't leveled my Pyro really, but it looks like a fun class.

I don't know if they fixed it yet (haven't logged in for a bit) or if it was only one area or what, but mining was impossible after the patch. Your skill would go up, but no loot. Awesome.

And the bard point mix match was just a wee bit upsetting, to me. I had my soul points distribution perfectly tailored to my play style needs and they went and tampered with it and now it's no good. Oh well.

And I hope the dye guy comes back really soon. I miss that dude.

A Pyro crit me with Cinderburst for over 4900. That's more than I have health.

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that for mages, CC is much more common than defensive abilities, and they happen to be immune to all types of it while standing in Ground of Strength. If one of them decides that they want me dead, I won't even know about it until it's too late.

I'm really surprised they haven't reworked Pyros by now. I see a ton of new low-level mages running around, too. Lots of alts on the run.

I imagine they'll 'fix' pyromancers eventually. I don't even have ten points into the pyro soul tree, and I already crit everything I touch.

But you know what they say. When the mains are away, the alts play. Okay, that was terrible. But.

The dye guy is back, here to save me from the terrible fate of having to wear red chest armor and green pants at the same time. I am content.

I almost feel like buying several dyes to horde in my inventory for the next time the dye vendor disappears. Auction House prices shoot up quite nicely.

Hey, I'd buy it.

I almost was about to pay off an apothecary like a drug dealer.

Hey, hey you guys. Guess who got some fun achievements unlocked?

So guess who travels all the way to the top of Granite Falls? Me, only I'm failing at it embarrassingly. BUT. Somehow I get up there, and what do I find?



Squirrels. Dancing squirrels!

So of course I nab that achievement along with [Mountain Climber]. Now what's the fastest way off a mountain, MMO style?



Suicide. It's the only way.

Except not. You get the [Plop!] achievement and lol about it with your friends. The attempts I made to unlock these... embarrassing to say the least, but I wanted to share anyway!

Haha yeah, I posted screens of the Squirrel Achievement a page or two back. Right now I'm trying to explode myself with rocks 50 times.

Also I finally got every single puzzle and cairn. Should've gotten them sooner, augh. Got a bunch of plat altogether. I'm probably going to kill time getting all the Jump achievements, although getting the one in Silverwood/Sanctum is going to be balls.

Oh yeah, your screen shots were pretty cool.

Sounds like there's a lot more fun achievements to be unlocked...

I refuse to play rift because rogues become bards in it. FUCKING BARDS!

We do not prance about, strum on a lute, and sing about fighting to kill our enemies!
We do things the old fashioned way and stealth behind our victims then stab them to death but not before picking their pockets.

rogues =/= musical sissies daisies it!

Rogues that put a full 51 points into the Bard tree, and know what they're doing, always ALWAYS out-heal me as a heal-spec Cleric in Warfronts. Not to mention Bards give amazing buffs - some of the rogues I know put a few points into the bard tree for those. Always seem to be a nice help when ganking people.



Also you can be a bard and an assassin at the same time.

Is there any sort of metal Beserker class

That's the only thing that really gets me into MMOs at this point

Just mess around with various builds using the Soul Tree Calculator: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html .

You might find something you like. I don't know.

You didn't read a thing I said...
I do NOT like bards!


I only want to play games that depict rogues/thieves as stealthy warriors of swift death and not sissies. Hence why:




If I made my own MMO it'd have class changes in simple light/dark tree format... with less than zero bards.

I think you're missing the point where bard is only one of nine different talent trees a rogue can be. Majority of them are based on classic thief/assassin roots.

Unless you're just trying to troll by saying you're refusing to play a game due to such a ridiculous standard.



Ehhh, closest thing to a metal Berserker would be like, a champion/paladin warrior (according to Joey). Champ lets you dash into people, fear them, a stun break, etc. There isn't really anything like a fury mode. Various classes will have trees that give them power boosts for a certain period of time but nothing that really falls under Berserker.
