I'm in. My essay on guerrilla warfare > tanks and mechs will have to wait.
The VIP gets you in forevah. You're just getting the weekend taste right now. Only one person has attempted a MvT essay.  More than awesome tanks or guerrilla tactics (which are both irreplaceable depending on military objectives,) the future of warfare will be decided by unmanned technology. Aside from what is possible in fighter jets without a pilot, the first country that manages to field flesh eating nano-bot swarms will earn my respect and fear.
Unmanned drone mechs! |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Nanomechs! Because the only thing more awesome than a giant humanoid war machine is a swarm of tiny humanoid war machines, all equipped with pico-scale sized swarm missiles.

Well, seeing as the first beta event weekend has not even started yet, and anyone that is playing the pre-beta software is probably under some kind of heavy NDA, the chance of there being any information out there would be pretty slim wouldn't it? |

http://www.riftrolebuilder.com/IIRC, it's based on info from the Telarpedia and game shows. Due to lack of info and NDA, I'm not sure how accurate it is to the current build, but it is something to play with and get an idea of some of the abilities and how the trees work.

I have a feeling that I'm going to buy this game and spend four weeks on talent builds, then log off and never come back because I couldn't decide on something.
Also, I find it interesting that Blizzard just went through their trees and pulled all the +1%/2%/3% talents, yet Rift seems to display them proudly. Not good, not bad, just... interesting.

It's also funny that WoW went through and made it so you have almost no choice in talents and Rift lets you choose them across three trees.

Only one person has attempted a MvT essay. Ok. In a future where tanks and mechs battle for supremacy on the ground, dropping rocks from LEO wins. Conclusion: the future belongs to whomever builds the best orbital trebuchet. |

Heh, three trees, two of which you can flip around on demand, unless something changed when I wasn't paying attention. The level of complexity almost boggles the mind. See how it goes for people after this weekend I guess, assuming they're even allowed to delve that far into the souls. |

Were those mech. horses I saw in the video?  Also, I get this creepy 'tornado' vibe every time I watch a vid. It's almost like much of the game is built upon this quasi-stormchaser premise. Find the storm, report the storm, help out the victims... rinse, wash, repeat. |

Yeah I kind of wonder if I will end up resenting the rifts interfering with my game the same way I felt about the things in Oblivion popping up.

Yeah, but if the enemy spends more time and money to shoot down your homing telephone pole floating in space than you did making it and getting it up there, then you've effectively won that battle. Nanomechs! Because the only thing more awesome than a giant humanoid war machine is a swarm of tiny humanoid war machines, all equipped with pico-scale sized swarm missiles.
I like to picture flesh eating nano-bots as burrowing insects that liquify your insides. |

Just saw this video, late to the party. So it's Tabula Rasa with WoW graphics? It's also funny that WoW went through and made it so you have almost no choice in talents and Rift lets you choose them across three trees.
K! Got me interested! |

Pfffft, an even tinier swarm to swarm each machine in your relatively giant, cumbersome, and unwieldy swarm is being developed as we speak  ! It's turtles all the way down bitches !!!! |

 Kinda wish I had taken today off. I'm going to be antsy all day. You know... no matter how many MMO's... no matter how many MMO betas... I still can't stop myself from succumbing to hype. I've got freakin beta and launch day Anarchy Online callouses... no... scars... but yet, here I am. /sigh

Did they scour the entire guild population to find the four skinny, mostly normal looking people? |

If by normal you mean, slightly nasal white people with too much passion for a video game, then yes. |

Pretty sure the email Trion sent me told me to not discuss the contents of the Beta anywhere but on their special Beta Forums.
So creating a beta section here would be against the policy of not facilitating breaking of NDA.
(and I probably just broke NDA by mentioning the contents of communication that anyone who under same NDA should have read themselves, I hope Hartsman forgives me).

I would think that would probably still violate most NDAs unless Trippy worked something out with the company.

We have for certain games. Usually with direct permission and processes I'm not privy to.
However, this is also a beta weekend event. People let into one will not necessarily be there for the next. That creates all sorts of wackiness.
