[RIFT] Storm Legion incoming

[Windzarko]

Storm Legion, Rift's first expansion, is just a fortnight away now. The pre-expansion patch is in (with all the major class changes, extended soul trees, rejigged planar attunement, new world event, and access to the first new dungeon of the expansion, if you've preordered), and it's looking damned good so far.

The THN Rift guild on Argent is still in running (now with three guild masters! Gotta love the quirks of that system...), and at least Masia and myself are playing again now. If anyone else wants to drop by again anytime soon or post-expansion launch, you know where to find some of us!

Potentially of interest; the inter-faction tension between the Guardians the Defiants is substantially lower on non-PvP servers now (and even on PvP servers, but you can still murderise each other at the drop of a hat in the open world), and you can even have both factions in the same guild, as well as grouping together for dungeons, PvP and open-world events. So, if you've ever felt the burning need to be a Dwarf or some other silly Vigil-worshipping prat, you can fulfil that desire whilst still being part of the guild!

TL;DR: Rift is better than ever, expansion incoming, some of us are playing, come drop by if you feel like it.

Interesting thing is not just that the new souls look really cool, but also the fact that the pre-existing ones have all had a proper re-evaluation. I noticed Paragon has probably changed the most; seems more or less a soul to use in addition to another, rather than on its own - at least outside of one-on-one fights - most notably because it now has no ranged attacks and basically seems to encourage some investment in for the ''follow-up'' attack you get early on.

I'd strongly recommend any that have an inkling to come back to do so an have a look at their respective classes/callings.
