Riders of Icarus open beta available for Founders now, opens for everyone in a week
It's time to mount up - Riders of Icarus, the monster-riding MMO, has opened up its beta to anyone who purchased a Founder's Pack. This limited beta will run for seven days, before the beta opens up for everybody else.
You can get Head Start access to the open beta by grabbing a Founder's Pack.
Since the closed beta, WeMade have increased the level cap. Once the open beta launches on July 6, the max level will be level 25, but that's planned to be upped to 35 in a later update.
For players who achieve these high levels, Parna's Coast - a snow-covered area similar in size to Hakanas Highlands - will provide a fresh challenge, as well as acting as an area where you can practice your aerial combat skills.
You might have to get a new mount in this region if you want one that can cope with the debilitating cold, though.
More regions will be added in the following months, each with a distinct ecosystem and new mounts. Here are some of the ones that are planned:
Akrat, a plain containing exotic animals
Cloying Wastes, a desert region
Ellora Sanctuary, a forest with beautiful waterfalls
Tritael Rift, an aerial region
There's a bunch more planned, including expanded PvP, guild alliances, guild battles and a farm for your mounts.
WeMade are also putting a lot of effort into the free-to-play aspect of the game, making sure it's still satisfying to play if you don't want to spend any money.

Riders of Icarus 2nd Dungeon
As for a pet, get Taslan. The spider that you have to kill in the early stages of the game when you are around level 7.

I'd recommend using Logash or Rogaton the white as a pet
Carleon tends to have a few attacks that are short range even if they hit hard and it forces him to stop from time to time letting you down potions/bandage etc in between.

Riders of Icarus F2P / P2W?
For example: The defense talisman and generalist talisman (available in the 90€ package) - those are pretty OP. Unless you don't get them automatically for every month as a premium-member, than this would be a typical p2w item.

Riders of Icarus Priest is a very well designed hybrid
It is really a bad idea to have priest not take advantage of it's ability to do damage, you can just as easily fill a dps role as you can healing, being more of an asset to your guild, you can always dps and toss out that emergency heal or take over for a healer that's fallen.

To address the Riders of Icarus PvP discussion
My only problem with them is the fighting assassins, for them to have a damage increase over assassins isn't balanced, they already have high base damage on their skills.

Riders of Icarus - People have different ways of playing
The bestiary have sent so many to the wrong location because it is literally sending players to the wrong location. Some familiars are literally on the opposite side of the zone of where the bestiary hinted towards.
