i really have no idea what you are asking, i am sorry

ive never been a massive consumer of the EU in general but what i have read ive enjoyed for the most part. But i cannot get behind the idea of the Vong, at all. It always reeked of overpowered god type high fantasy tropes. Count me among the +1 to NO VONG!

lets go ahead and take off the tinfoil hat. They have made it perfectly clear in a majority of their patches that they do listen. I dont know how much experience you have with software development let alone MMO development but there is no magic fix. These things take time. You (everyone) just needs to relax and see where it goes. There are teams of people that have NOTHING to do with development reading the forums and answering questions. All the people who are fixing things are doing just that...fixing things. if this was a year out and the same issues were prevalent, then we (the playerbase) would have a reason for these tinfoil hats that some of you seem so insistent on wearing.

id like to see this and a penalty for the people the leave mid WZ.

now im not one to assume things about people on the internt, and perhaps i am a little more optimistic then i should be, but this HAS to be a troll...has to be. please?

i dig it.

Whoa...

my fear is more that those with the loudest voices (read negative) might be heard by those who haven't played it yet. I am having a blast as are the members of my admittedly small guild. I can see myself playing for years, which is more then i could say a month into playing Rift. PS. Not that there was anything "Bad" with Rift, far from it...its a great game. Something about it just didnt quite sit right with me though.

now im not a part of the dev team, and this may be something akin to the WoW devs saying (at one point) that flying would never happen in Old world but i seem to recall the Day/Night cycle being a design choice and will most likely never change due to how its "Baked" into each of the planets overall aesthetic scope. I do agree though, would be awesome.

I have to agree. The Items you get for social ranks are generally cosmetic and offer no real "Benefit" to the individual outside of posterity. Adding more ways to earn Social points would only encourage more social interaction, which (imo) is the point.

I LOVE these. i just wish there were a Tab in the in game email window where i could save them to reread later. Or a codex page or something that would allow me to keep them for nostalgia sake.

Ill be honest, ive leveled from 1-46 exclusively in a guild group of 4 doing EVERY SINGLE QUEST and Flashpoint up to Voss and we are all just about to hit Social V. seems a bit out of whack.

i sold my entire lvl for 40 pvp set in a spring cleaning frenzy while trying to pinch credits for my rank 2 speeder. Didnt realize it until the next morning when i hit 40 and went to equip it.

i have to disagree with this on some level. If you, say, jump down to a lower level and for whatever reason your companion decides to take the scenic route...well i promise he/she will be bring friends to what would have otherwise been a boring party. Other then that though they really shouldnt be pulling to much unwanted aggro. Your character may just be packing some junk in the trunk

oh understand that, i guess i wasnt clear. My question was basically, how much alacrity does one need to hit that 1.5sec threshold? If it doesn't really require that much (IE if you can hit that using the base ALA talents) then is it really necessary to prioritize it as a stat over say +crit or +surge?
