RIFT : Planes of Telara

They also broke the necro Feign Death ability, now you just lie on the ground while the mob beats on you.
 
LOL! Looks like it was more of a hotbreak. ;)

@Isenguard: I know right? My character looked much better with the new colours. I was really dissappointed that my free dye job didn't last. >_<

hmm... good to know, was just about to go materials hunting with my necro. Can somewhat imagine the mobs after a necro feigns death now: look at each other, troll-face, and continue hitting.

Let us know if you decide on Rift, roll on Steampike/Guardian


Hotfix #17: 15/04/11 - 62.8mb

WORLD EVENT
* Exorcising Evil: The Corrupted Essence can be exorcised again after 30 seconds, in case NPCs steal your mob.
* More tweaks to the Phase 2 events for stability under load!


GENERAL
* Added Malformed Soul and Corrupted Soul drops to end-game Rift content.
* Fixed a bug where you wouldn't loot stacking items when hitting Take All with a full inventory.


COMBAT
* Fixed ability tooltips not displaying the correct damage when it was increased by other abilities, and instead showing lowered damage overall.
* Feign Death should be much more convincing.
* Back-end optimizations of player pet aggro - this should have no visible effect in-game.
* Back-end optimizations of aggro lists and target switching for NPCs in instances and the main world - this should also be invisible in gameplay.


ZONES

GREENSCALE'S BLIGHT [Raid]
* Lord Greenscale: Added some extra failsafes to prevent the plants and minions from sticking around past an encounter reset.

SCARWOOD REACH
* Fixed the Life Rift in Lotham's Strike either not loading correctly or closing too soon.

SILVERWOOD
* Rift: Gedlo Supply Drop: Addressed issues with mobs getting stuck in stacks of crates.


ITEMS
* The following items had Death Resistance incorrectly set on their stats; this has been removed.
* Magical Tendril, Breath of the Wild, Staff of the Creeper, Spiritguider, Frozen Scepter, Ceremonial Shoulderpads, Ceremonial Visage, Ceremonial Robe, Band of Spells, Sagebrush Spellstaff, Carmintium Spellcutter, Carminite Longsword, Ill-Fated Relic, Voodoo Charm, and Pugilist's Signet.

No go for me today, our regions adsl is down for who knows how long. Looks like I'm missing today's event. :(
 
20-90 minute delay on event Phase 2.

[edit] Sad to say that I am getting constantly disconnected again, with 50,000ms + and am unable to participate at all.

Logged in now in Phase 3, and lag persists- climbed to 80k latency (not near any raids or anything). Suppose I'll wait the event out.

Yeah, I had planned a family day for today, no way I am changing that for a game. I knew that nothing that Trion could do on their end would solve the latency issue, short of moving the event into instances. It is a pure bandwidth issue, not a game one.
 
If I were them I'd just scrap the whole events business. Most people are still leveling and/or learning the ropes.
 
Hmm yeah, the first one was far from being a success, and for me personally, not being able to participate, I don't care much for them.
 
Hey all. I'm actually a referral from ps3za. I've managed to read over the entire 61 pages of of this thread, so I feel like I've gotten to know a few of you a bit. The order for a new computer is going in Monday, and I'm hoping to be up and running on Rift in the next week or so.

I'm actually a Texas transplant to South Africa, so I'll be playing on both US and EU servers. I've been playing MMO's since the days of The Realm Online, and quit WoW about a year ago after a five year stay. You guys running Prophecy, expect a whisper from me. I'd love to get involved with some local players.

Oh, and if someone could advise me on latency times y'all are getting for EU and US servers - I'd sure appreciate it. I'm seeing some of you guys are pulling 200ms on relatively slow lines. That's shockingly good. Telkom just bumped my line to about 7megs and I'm getting good latency here . . . so I'm really hoping the US servers are playable as well. Does anyone use a tunneling service for Rift? Cheapest place to pick the game up online?

Thanks and I hope to see you in a week or so :D

With Mweb 386kb shaped line, I get 280ms on EU, and 420ms on US. I played on US for the first month of Rift, and didn't really have any problems. Unless you are hell bent on that extra few miliseconds delay. By tunneling server, do you mean like WTFast? Should try that. At MyBB they were talking about free accounts with Will@Mweb or something.

One thing that you have to keep in mind when switching servers to and fro, is that when you patch Eu (EU patches first) you can't play US servers until they have the patch as well.
 
Welcome buddy, hope you enjoy it here...

Check out the TeamSpeak 3 thread and join us on there to lurk while jamming whichever game.



In other news ... I killed my first guardian last night! :D I didn't even realise it was one. I saw a player being attacked by a mob and decided to help out ... until I noticed the mob was MY quest giver. So when she ran out of range I hunted her down and pew-pew'd her 6-love!

I'm hoping on an unshaped line to snag sub 350 on the US servers - but 420 is definitely playable. Thanks for the specs and the heads up about patching. I figured something like that was going on. As far as the tunneling - yes, something like WTFast. I was thinking either wowtunnels, laglessproxy or smoothping. I'm going to try a few of them, and I'll let you guys know what works best for me with a low price.

And thanks for the welcome - I'll hit you guys up on TS once I'm up and running :cool:

Sies! How dare you attack at fellow Guardian. What's your Defiants name so I can hunt you down and rain some justice down on you! :D
