BFF Report Episode 56: A RIFT Dungeon Guide

In this week's episode, watch Fony take on the first three dungeons in RIFT: Realm of the Fae, Iron Tomb and Deepstrike Mines.

It's that time again! Time for another BFF Report! This week, Mike B. aka Fony is still on his RIFT roll, although today he's decided to focus on the first three dungeons available to RIFTers: The Realm of the Fae, The Iron Tomb and the Deepstrike Mines. All in all, this just another great look at how RIFT is turning out, and if you really like what you see, perhaps you should think about pre-ordering so that you can get in on all of this closed beta action!

Watch The BFF Report episode 56 after the jump to go dungeon crawling in RIFT!

So far I've only been in beta 5 but like just about everyone I'll be in beta 6. Have a question though, what spec combo is the tank in the video using? A dual wielding tank seems very cool, would love to try it out.

Fony huge fan of GBTV, Zam, Rift and mmo's in general.
The dungeons were great. I ran IT as a cleric, mostly Warden, through the levels 17-29. lol kept going back to it i found it visually pleasing and just fun. I also started running DSM at...lvl 24? something like that. That dungeon was a bit harder there was some mobs that hit HARD, as well the last boss all the AE damage was taxing on my mana pool, after the cascade nerf. I fully plan to preorder I want the box though. Hard the find a preorder in Ontario. Out of 5 retailers only one was doing a preorder. One thing I think that sets Trion apart, isn't in the game itself, it's their dedication to their player base and outstanding customer service.

I love how the ads play flawlessly, but I'm stuck waiting for BFF to buffer for 10 min...

Yeah missed 3 new dungeons this last round. And more to come in next round before release. Finally a game that's going well and HAS end game content ready. Plus they promise weekly additions. Wow a company that wants a relationship with its player base; no way!

Preorder Ftw!

Ive played every mmo out since EQ; Beta and on. This has been overall (hugely) the best start Ive ever seen.
They are on top of things, they listen, and do so very quickly.
Sure every game will always have problems; and fan bois n QQ'rs arguing back and forth. But Tbh the last 4-5 years of releases has been one fail after another. (high hopes followed by crashing dreams)
But this game well; just is. Good start and very solid.

No ones guna take bliz out other then bliz themselves and time.
People will get bored of even this because it is just another Mmo grind. (then maybe they should stop playing mmos...lol).

Anyone coming from ANY MMORPG (not just WoW) will find this familiar in one way or another. (As they intended). Its a really good game. Ive never seen so many people come from such a large line of other games and comment on how much its adapts (or as haters say copies)and there for in a good way feels familiar to them. People act likes its such a bad thing; in the case of Rift I think it awesome. There not trying to up-the-anti with huge promises and then fail. There trying to pull in players from all games because they know everyone tired and looking for the next thing. If anything this is a great hold over. Their ability to be involved with the player base has me won over alone. And is why I pro-ordered.

They promised to be interactive and IN game with the player base. On a personable lvl; and if this carries over as well as it has in beta to live; Ive not seen anything come close since the Eq days.

Fony you missed the Foul Cascade in scarlet gorge and the Darkening Deeps in the Gloamwood. I think there's a new one in the zone unlocked but I never got to do it. There is also another one being unlocked next beta.

My boyfriend and I have been in since Beta5 and we pre-ordered within hours. Turtles ftw. Iron tombs is retarded easy, provided you don't pull multiple packs. Also, the kings triad can be crowd controlled (transmogrified/chain feared), and it seems like CC doesn't have diminishing returns in dungeons. Still haven't tried the guardian starter dungeon.

Another great video ! I pre ordered CE retail version and cannot wait to get my hands all over it. Looking forward to get an opportunity to hit at least one or two of these dungeons on the next beta

lol, reroll on life.

So excited for this game! Can't wait for open beta and headstart (CE pre-order ftw). I've only played through Iron Tombs so far. Loved that one and excited to play through more. Good report BTW.
