How are you Rift players liking the xpac?
Just curious how you guys are liking Starfall Prophecy. And why would you play Rift over WoW and FFXIV?
I always think those three games are in a similar category because of tab targeting, end-game focus on repeating instances for gear, etc. What makes Rift better for you than the other two?

Thanks for making the vid Wocky and thanks for posting the link Forgrimm.
Edit: Aside from the Wocky's video, I haven't been able to find any other non-sponsored videos on youtube.
I did, I don't play Asian MMO's but I did delete WOW from my PC.
Game looks good on my pc, too. I've always found it relaxing to play Rift. I usually solo, but there are lots of things to do when I feel like casual grouping.
So far, I haven't experienced any problems with bugs except for the first time I logged in a couple of days ago (fell through the world). Today the game ran perfectly fine.
I even thought about posting the link in some of the Rift discussions here, as a counterpoint to the unconditional praise the expansion receives here from the official side.
Your video also made me wonder why nobody on this site mentioned the many disabled features...but then, mmorpg.com and Trion....you know.
What I really like is they brought back the old invasion type dailies where you protect a spot. With all the AOE builds now those are pretty fun especially during zone events where you can get 40 or 50 invasions coming in a very short time. So with the free healing and buffs you get against planar invasion it gives you a chance to feel pretty OP. Of course there are times you get overwhelmed but its Rift and dying (as a patron) doesnt have any repercussions.
They also added the end of the story line instances where if you follow the story lines to completion you get your usual achieves and minion card and now you get to repeat the final 'boss' fight as a daily. It has a double reward so even after you get maxed rep it could be worth doing for the plat and currencies (depending on how easy they make the new to get, right now its pretty limited). But basically you get 3 dailies per zone (same as other expansion) one invasion one boss instance and a rotating open world one. If you dont do the story quest then you only have 2 options.
Sadly no button pressing daily that can be picked up in every zone and done concurrently together. That is a change from the last two expansions with Manugo and collecting orbs.
Its OK as long as you dont burn yourself out with more than a couple alts mirroring the dailies over and over again.
Customer service said they are aware of the problem and working on a fix. It's a little disappointing and unpolished, as others have observed.
I can move on to the next zones and continue leveling, but it kind of takes the wind out of my sails a bit. Otherwise, the xpac has been fun in offering more of what Rift has to offer.
Rift's class/soul tree design is really awesome. I love being able to switch the trees around and mix up different abilities.
So far seems fun, but I haven't tried crafting yet. Hopefully they don't require you to do dungeons just to get normal recipes like WoW did with Legion.
I'm not sure how I feel about Legion. Some things I like, but I don't like what happened to my old main warlock. I felt kind of forced to play a druid.
