RIFT : Planes of Telara

It's exactly that certain someone copying and pasting the text that's going to make me QQ. But let's spread the rumor that it hacks you! BURN IT DOWWN!
 
Patch time:

Hotfix #10: 25/3/11 1:00am GMT

GENERAL
* Cleaned up some edge case looting bugs that may fix the case where only tanks could loot bosses in dungeon instances.
* Valmera mounts now require Guardian faction to purchase.
* Server stability tweaks.


SOULS

ARCHON
* Burning Purpose: The damage proc can now only occur a maximum of once every 1.5 seconds. Fixed an issue so that the damage proc is only affected by buffs active on the caster at the time it is triggered.

PALADIN
* Reverent Protection: Now only affects up to 5 targets, and range increased from 10 meters to 35 meters.

REAVER
* Infestation: Cooldown increased to 1 minute; damage increased due to the higher cooldown.

VOID KNIGHT
* Rift Shield: Corrected a bug causing Rift Shield to absorb too much damage. It will now absorb an amount more in line with other absorption shields in the game.


ZONES

IRON PINE PEAK
* Dabbling in the Forbidden: Tweaked quest so it should update consistently.
* Mob population of Icewatch Outpost has been revamped to be a bit less punishing.
* Armament Recovery: Increased the quantity of Icewatch Armaments available, and corrected the map marker.
* Abyssal Schematics: Removed the cooldown from the quest objective to make this less annoying for group play.
* A Demon's Grimoire: Removed the cooldown from the quest objective to make this *also* less annoying for group play.
* A Traitor Amongst Us: Reduced the respawn timer on Epov Itol.
* Cleansing the Keep: Reduced the respawn timer on Lis Disrata.
* Technology Confiscation: Greatly increased the respawn rate of quest targets and increased number of quest spawn points.
* Transformation Interrupted: Greadly reduced cooldown time on quest targets.

MOONSHADE HIGHLANDS
* Guardians on the Edge: This quest will now display map locators.

SCARLET GORGE
* A Failure of Leadership: NPCs should no longer steal credit for this quest.

SHIMMERSAND
* All players on the quests 'The Fall of Hazeed' or 'Hazeed's Demise' now receive the Tarnish the Maw achievement after killing Hazeed at the event in Golden Summit. Players who missed out on this achievement previously can now receive it if they are in the vicinity of the event when Hazeed is killed.
* Foiled Plans: Fixed up some spawning issues with Hazeed during this quest.
* Lester Ironbole at Gildstone Sanctum will not be attacked by the Storm Legion in the area.
* The Defiant respawn point in Tempest Plains should no longer occasionally have a big rock on top of it when a nearby Rift is active.

STILLMOOR
* Broken Trust and Broken Hearts: Quest is now fixed for updates thanks to player feedback!


DUNGEONS AND RAIDS

AKALA [Outdoor Raid]
* Fixed a rare issue where Akala would not reset properly after repeat wipes.

CHARMER'S CALDERA
* Moved the Messenger of the Vigil respawn NPC closer to the Charmer's Caldera respawn point.



PVP/WARFRONTS
* Falling through the world, or using the Customer Service 'I'm Stuck' button, will now result in a respawn inside the Warfront instead of teleporting you out and applying the Deserter debuff!


UI/SETTINGS
* The spacing of objectives in the Rift meter UI is back to the original settings.
* Twitter credentials are not included in /exportui or brought in via /importui.

It is an optional external application, rumoured to be the source of all the hacking of accounts. There is no internal game display unless someone copies and pastes the text. I certainly will not be using it.

It is not the cause. The cause was the vulnerability in the login system which was patched in about 2 or 3 patches back - around when the coin locks became active too.
 
Gonna be sweet, can't wait. Just worried about quests NPCs all being chached off by the invasions :P meh, I'll just help clean up the mess then and quest again after the event :P

Which is what I love about Rift. The other day I had 8 quests to hand in at a camp in the desert. Just so happens that it was overrun by fire forces, I had to clear those first but there was a rift nearby and they just kept coming. Took me and another guy almost an hour to fight off the invasion and then close the rift and then hand in our quests. Epic!

Why are you guys rolling on a pve server ;_;
Any SA PvP server guilds here?

@ Prophecy - You guys use vent/ts/xfire/steam voip/skype at all?
I've been struggling to find guilds who are actually active on the voice side of things and if you are it MIGHT counterbalance the fact that you guys are on a pve server...

Looking forward to replies :P
 
@Xyshen

We are on a PVE server because we don't like paying healers for therapy to correct the crick in our necks from looking over our shoulders all the time while questing ;-)
As for voice, none yet. The guild is fairly active, about 10 people on at night but no real need for voice comms yet.
 
I'm about ready for my first instance experience (my Cleric just hit level 17 and I have the quest). No idea where to get started with it though.
 
You'll be looking for Realm of the Fae or something like that. Its entrance is located by the maze like place with the fairies in it. Keep an eye on Silverwood, and 1-9 chat for people looking for more to join- and once you're in the group, don't worry about heading to the instance entrance. Once someone in the group enters it, it will ask you if you would like to teleport there (doesn't matter where you are).

Well ... that saves me blindly running around like a noob (I am one, but I refuse to admit it :p ) - I'm not quite sure what I qualify as though - I'm a cleric, but I sure as hell can't heal anything.

I would just claim to be a healer, and and do best I can to heal :p

Not much else you can do, being a cleric

Lol ... I have like, one healing spell. I'm a Druid/Shaman/Justicar - so I'm pretty offensive.

Ummm .. offensive as in attacking people ... not insulting their ancestry. Just thought I'd be clear on that point :p

I'll look into setting up a new role - but maybe I should just focus on my Mage - if Aion's taught me anything, it's that I suck at healing anyone but myself :D

Thats the great thing about Cleric, you don't have to be shoehorned into any specific role, you can play what you like, be it Healer, Tank or DPS. For soloing I'm enjoying the hell out of Shaman/Druid/Purifier. For groups, especially instanced raids I switch to healer, which is a role I love when playing when in a group, but I could just as easily go tank if I was so inclined.

This diversity inside classes is what I love most about Rift so far. :D
 
I maxxed out on just shaman and justicar with no points in druid. also found it to be very decent tank-n-offensive. other spec i went over healing, well you have to heal as well ;) :D

Shadowfox, why don't you just buy a second role, and spec full healer in it? You can switch to and fro then as you like. If you need money for a role, give me a tell in-game (I suspect you're on the same as server as us).

My Lock/Chloro/Necro is quite orsm. I'm using necro for the pet skeleton, focusing on lock for dps and chloro for orsm self heals. I've just been working til 8-9pm every night including weekends this week, so I'll try get back into Rift next week or so.
