Soul trees are unnecessary simplified forcing players to go full 61specs in most cases, so much for 'build your own class' statements... This is probably the worst thing that happened in 2.0. On top of that there is a lot of grind - rep, essences etc. And don't get me wrong, I'm an end-game player, but even for me it's a bit too much. There is plenty of minor things that I'm not satisficed with, but I think I'll just keep for myself. I just hope RIFT will remain at least as half as good as the classic game was and I'm interested to see what's next after Regulos is killed and what's going to happen after opening Dendrome. Taking us straight into the planes is probably the answer, question is how long we are going to wait for this to happen. I'm curious how new leadership is plan to survive ESO, if there are any plans to expand RIFT Lite, so the old world can feel alive again. If the pace of updates remains best in business. If the world events finally get meaningful and fun. There is many question, hopefully some of them will be answered tommorow in part2.



Once again, cya Hartsman!
