The armor and item textures in this game are severely lacking. Even later level armor textures look like something you would get at 1st level. Very frustrating. The game's downfall is its artwork.

Taste is of course subjective, but personally I really love the armor in RIFT. I like the fact that it's a little more subdued. It actually looks like real armor that a person would use. Take the tier sets in WoW for example, they can get ridiculous. Lava spewing volcanoes on your shoulders, spikes for the of having more and more spikes, etc.

Really? My rogue at level 38 would say otherwise with her A S S hanging out from under her miniskirt. Yeah just like real armor .

I prefer more sober armor, thank you. If you like WoW-like armor stick to WoW.
Rift has a more mature style.

First time? Really? I see it all the time in game on various chat channels.

And rifts hardly hits all the notes on content, itemization, common in game tools and features. As a matter of fact its down right lacking in many of those areas, even way more so than those games with all that 'fluff'.

Is it a fun game? Sure its not bad. But lets be realistic and not be afraid to recognize its flaws.

You want to play dress-up? Buy a Barbie Doll.

LOL, sorry, but it's a game, not a fashion show.

The only reason why "her A S S hanging out from under her miniskirt," because you likely got the camera look up at it in that direction. Perv.

@Gaugamela Mature style my ass, it's the same style as WoW and Aion, for mature style look AoC.

Well by that logic, maybe you should just go play pong. I mean why play rifts when all you want is a video game right?

I just took two screenshots of some high end purchasable armor. Didn't think to look at the pvp armor... but I personally thought these two sets looks rather cool....

But opinions are just that, I suppose.

Just a curious note...Is anyone else having trouble finding Tanks for your party in a dungeon in RIFT?

@Tizmah Nope, not having a problem at all. Between the Rogue Tanks, Warrior Tanks and Cleric Tanks, it's been pretty quick finding one so far.

Can I be the first to suggest "Rift Insider" ?
I'd be there everyday, gobbling up the content, ranting, raving and loving it!

Make us Rifters happy... go ahead punk, make my day!

Oh, and the armor, we need more nipples in RPG's, nuff said.

I agree with Oxlar, there must have been a special on brown paint at Home Depot, this game is extremely drab.
