The 5th Beta Event went really well, apart from a minor hiccup with the servers at launch – nothing too surprising seeing as the number of people included in the event quadrupled compared the to 4th event. The Dev team handled it in a way I have come to expect and appreciate, they kept everyone updated, a patch was released and everyone flooded in.
I didn’t take as many screencaps as I wish I had though. Before the event I had spent a fair amount of time playing with the Zam Soul Planner and I had decided on a Riftstalker/ Bladedancer/ Bard build. I love the idea of being a proper rogue tank. I chose Defiant as I normally play the “darker” side in MMOs.
I wish I had spent more time chronicling my adventures, but I was far too busy working out how this new world worked. I played with the UI customisation – which is really impressive, I took part in Rift Invasions, I did the soul quests, I bought a mount, I did a dungeon, I had a look at the gathering and crafting skills and I played around with collection as well as the Auction House – phew!
Here are a few screencaps from it – for Beta 6 I promise there will be more organisation and I will go through all the aspects of the game in detail!
The Defiant starting room
I did remember to try out the /dance commands lol
And not a bad looking dungeon considering it’s the very first one on the Defiant side!
Riftdrawals...
