Evuke Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Seems there is one thing BW did right if other mmo's are copying them already: "In RIFT 1.7: Carnival of the Ascended, we’ve taken steps to streamline Prestige, gear, and more. Here’s how the war has changed: (blah blah blah - usual rubbish)Bolstering – When fighting in Warfronts, your characters under Rank 13 (previously between Ranks 3 and 4) will receive stat boosts to take on veteran Ascended" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDutch Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 They also smoothed out PvP gear progression. It's a shame that it came after they lost so many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefool Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's actually not copying SWTOR, it's doing something that SWTOR should be doing but isn't. Rift already has bracketed battlegrounds in ten level increments. Bringing stats up to those of level 50 characters is way less interesting in Rift. What they're instead doing is boosting stats including valor (Rift's version of expertise) to the level they would have with reasonable PVP equipment. And you only get that boost as long as you're below PVP rank 13 because by then you can buy a PVP set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
