RIFT Poll – Will you be using the Character Transfers Service?

Posted 23 May 2011 by [Comments Off]

Rift Poll

Character transfers is something the community has been wanting for quite some time. Perhaps you feel your shard is underpopulated, perhaps you just want to get away from certain people, maybe you just want to see what the community is like on another server. Whatever the reason, I think you’ll agree that the transfer service that is going in place is pretty extensive, and probably more than anyone expected on its release.

The fact that its free is simply fantastic and you can even move once every seven days if you want to. Whether being able to move every week is a good thing remains to be seen but I’m sure TRION will be keeping a very close eye on who is jumping around the servers and if it is having an adverse affect on server population consistency.

So will you be utilising the service once it launches? Why will you be moving? Cast your vote and feel free to expand in the comments.

New Poll – What are you looking forward to most in v1.2?

Posted 3 May 2011 by [Comments Off]


Vote for 1.2 features


With v1.2 just over one week away from release, out latest RIFT poll asks what you are looking forward to most in this update which includes quite a few new features. If you’re still unsure about what they all are or do, then check out our interview with Hal Hanlin from last week where he explains all the new features in detail. No guild banks in this update sadly but we live in hope that they will appear in 1.3 *hint, hint TRION”.

OK, so let’s find out what you are wanting the most and tell us why in the comments…

We  wrapped up our last poll which asked you all to rate the River of Souls event between one and ten and the results were what we expected as it was a disappointment for many players. Thanks to everyone who added their comments, it’s important that TRION know your thoughts on events and everything they are adding to the game.

River of Souls Phase 1 Poll

Posted 15 April 2011 by [Comments Off]

Although phase 2 of the event was delayed, it is almost upon us so let’s hope all last weekend’s glitches have been ironed by the dev team this week. After dashing around for a couple of weeks now tackling Death rifts and buying up what I can with Otherworldly Sourcestones, so far I have enjoyed it, and I would have liked to have had more time to play this past week than I have managed.

Phase one did get off to a slow start though and it was pretty hard to actually find Death rifts but TRION thankfully ramped up their spawn rate which made this past week  which made it a lot more fun. Phase 2 kicks off this weekend and I know I can’t wait to see what TRION has in store, but what did you think of Phase one? Cast your vote Rift fans!

Our previous poll asked whether players would resubscribe to the game once their free month had run out. The results were really good with the majority loving the game and a good portion of players waiting to see how the content update would go, which as we know now is this first World Event. So good news there for TRION and the players in the months ahead. Here’s the results…

Will you Resubscribe to RIFT?

Posted 20 March 2011 by [Comments Off]

Rift PollNext week and just beyond is the third decisive moment in RIFT’s history (1st being Beta campaign, 2nd was launch), when many of us will be deciding whether or not to extend our initial subscriptions to RIFT.

Since release there have been problems no doubt – the security hole which was quickly plugged, the platinum sellers phising for your account details (par for the course for every MMO) the most notable. Thankfully the server queues have been resolved with additional servers. TRION have been very regular with the updates and have addressed the vast majority of issues and game imbalances the player base has been vocal about.  I’m hearing a lot of positive feedback from casual and hardcore alike.

However, a lingering concern I’ve heard  is the end game content and PvP, group balance in Warfronts in particular needs addressing.  Limited looks in gear, not enough variety and many times you can change items and see no change in your appearance.  There still remains some gripes in the professions too (lack of mining nodes and ridiculously rare recipe drops are two I’ve ran in to myself.

But we are due a content update within three months of release and I would imagine these are things that the development team are concentrating on, end game content being the major focus. I have complete confidence in Trion listening to and acting upon player feedback.

This seems a perfect moment to poll the players and see what your plans are for the future. Please take a moment to cast your vote.  I haven’t put an ‘undecided’ option in this vote, there is no abstaining, you’re either in or you’re out.

Our previous poll asked which professions you had taken up. Unsurprisingly the gathering professions came top but from the actual crafts there’s a clear favourite and a very obvious least favourite. I’m not surprised to see Artificing gripping on at last place there.

RIFT Poll – Did You Prefer Beta 5 or Beta 6?

Posted 8 February 2011 by [2]

As everyone will know, Beta 6 brought quite a few changes to the game. There has been a lot of discussion about the difficulty in Beta 6 with numerous aspects of the game being ramped up including dungeons and mobs in general. There is also the racial ability debate which rages on following the racial changes in Beta 6. To be honest my Warrior spec was also pretty screwed up in Beta 5 so the changes to the Warrior soul gave me the opportunity to reset the souls in Beta 6.

Do you think TRION went in the right direction for Beta 6? Did the racial changes really affect your gameplay experience? How did you find the soul changes? I have read a lot of discussion today where some players felt TRION went too far with the changes, but is it the vocal whining minority or do you think things have taken a turn for the better or worse?

One thing we do know is that TRION listen very closely to player feedback if it is constructive so I didn’t think even at this stage we can say anything is set in stone.

Anyway, we want to know what you think so vote with your mouse and leave your comments because constructive feedback will only make the game better as we head toward the open Beta test which is quite a big deal for TRION.

[poll id="4"]

The last poll was an interesting one, we asked if players would be prepared to chuck a sickie to take part in Beta 5 and a staggering 62% of you said you were prepared to call in sick, 22% would head into work and 16% of you were on holiday anyway. Naughty Rifters!

Poll – Suddenly Feeling Poorly?

Posted 25 January 2011 by [4]

Many of us were surprised TRION chose to run Beta 5 during the week. I know I have to be at work in the morning, but how many of you have suddenly fallen a little under the weather. I’m not condoning anyone skips their usual daily responsibilities of course, but boy is it tempting . So own up, have you got that sick note ready? Perhaps you’ve taken some holiday time. The vote is of course anonymous and I don’t have your boss’s number so your secret is safe with me. Vote now!

[poll id="3"]

For those of you interested in knowing the results of our last poll, well here they are…

Are you going to pick up the Collector’s Edition?

* Yes (66%, 369 Votes)
* Undecided (20%, 111 Votes)
* No (14%, 79 Votes)

Good result there for TRION, that’s a really good percentage of pre-orders considering the Beta is really only starting to open up to the masses.
