Pre-ordered, and downloading client. I'll look up all of you who are starting the GAF guild on Belmont, once the head start is underway. Not hugely into raiding these days, but some PvP and such looks like fun.
Anyone know much about the clerics, and what set ups are good for leveling?

Been downloading all night (well since midnight est I think). I miss cable. This DSL is okay until things like this need to be downloaded. Started as soon as the patching was enabled late last night and have about 5 hours to go from 7am est. Just left it running when I left today so things should be done I hope when I get home tonight. I hope this includes whatever patches they've made and not just the base version that was included on the dvds. I feel better about getting a boxed copy now. Didn't count on the download (didn't realize there was a headstart at the time of purchase) but don't want to do this again.
Still the wait last night gave me time to poke around the official boards. Ugh. I've tried to stay away from every official mmo message board since I started playing them and it looks like that pattern will continue.

All I can say is I'm fucking hyped! Been playing since Beta 1 and can't wait to get back in.

Few seem to be focusing on Shaman though. Druid and Justicar seem to be the popular choice. Not sure why when the Shaman tree is awesome.

Yes and no. Use this to check things out: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html
The pairings have talents that work well together, but the abilities gained are usually similar. (does 23-27 physical damage, or what have you) you end up with some similar abilities and you usually only need one of them. Especially if further talents give bonuses to particular attacks/abilities. The best thing to do IMO is make your second class the one that gives your first statistical advantage. And the third be one that just has a good starting ability.
For instance, on my Shaman, I'll be spending most my points on that tree, and likely the rest in Warden and NOT Justicar or Druid. There are some abilities on both of those that would help, but I would rather take an insta cast heal, and some HoTs to help keep me and groupies alive. On top of that, my Shaman talents pretty much require me to use my Shaman abilities and not those of the other two. My third pick is a sentinel which I won't spend a dime in and only get for the quick insta cast heal it gives you, along with a decent ranged spell.
Really though, its mostly trial and error. Test things out in game. You can always revert back.

Been trying to keep this game out of my head, but now with early access so close I'm struggling to contain my glee. Probably going to go with a cleric of some kind to run with the wife's warrior, but level up a rogue on the side.

You've got a nice site and the community, even at this early stage, seems very solid. Just submitted my official guild application. I won't be on a ton and somewhat at odd hours but I hope to get in on the camaraderie when I can.1stStrike said:

I had no idea that there was no language barrier between factions in this game! That is so awesome! I hate how WoW and its copy cats do that.
Now there's no way I'm going on a PvP server. That would totally kill the opportunity to go into the other faction's area and talk with them!

Basically, you can still kill anyone that isn't flagged for PvE only. On a PvE server you can flag yourself for PvP or disable it any time you'd like. So, the option for PvP is still there - it's just that when you're out questing you can disable the ability for others to fuck with you. You can't do this on a PvP server. That's the main difference... otherwise most everything else is the same. You can still invade their cities/settlements and do warfronts.

Pre-ordered last night based on the good GAF impressions. I will start on Belmont with the rest of ya, while keeping a close eye on the PVP servers. Still trying to decide what kind of healer I want to be. Probably a Warden eventually and I'll use Justicar to level. Hopefully that should work out OK. Also signed up for Lotus Cross at the website.
i tried downloading the client last night off the official Rift page, and it gave me an error saying I wasn't eligble to. Well, it lets me download and install the Life patcher/updater but the actual game files wouldn't come down. I'll try again after work today, but all the info I see said Feb 24th.
Are you guys snagging the client off steam or off Trion?

With all the flexibility in the talent trees does this mean the game is going to be imbalanced as fuck?

Thanks! Think of the game as a cross between Warhammer and WoW. It may fall a little more on the WoW side of things but more in tune with UI features and the likes. The "talent tree" part of the game is very customizable. Eventually, you'll be able to create 4 specs of your choosing (after questing for them which is easy). And when you encounter your first rift in game, shit gets real.
