RIFT : Planes of Telara

Lol.. we killed 2nd boss of 3rd phase and boom! reset to 1st phase. wtf.
ah well, was lame anyway, since phase 2 I've been getting disconnected every minute and the latency never went below 21k
 
I have noticed though that Rift becomes unplayable for me at night (7-9pm ish) caused by giant pings. I play other mmo's fine at that time. Bit annoying.
 
They have reset the World Event back to Phase 1 . It is delayed for the USA [europe actually got to play the event before the USA] . There were many fails with Phase 2, lag, disconnects, no rewards , bosses resetting . So i guess Trion is fixing it and we'll have another go sometime.
 
The lag issue has been sorted out for me this last week or so, I'm quite chuffed. Sitting on lvl 25 with my rogue ranger now. Enjoying it, but keen to get a more effective soul spec going.
 
I'm glad the event has been delayed, I want to collect more sourcestones :).

New hotfix:

Hotfix #15: 10/04/11

WORLD EVENT
* Phase 2 of the World Event has been rescheduled for April 16 at 12:00pm server time, due to the stability issues discovered this morning. The World Event UI now shows the updated date.

ZONES

GREENSCALE'S BLIGHT [Raid]
* Players can no longer enter the Hylas arena without being teleported during the critter phase.

I am constantly disconnecting now when ever there is a raid, of any kind. Ping just goes 50,000 and disconnects. Seems unplayable now for me, and there's no point playing if I can't participate in raids. Hmm.

edit: a lot of people are getting this apparently, so hopeful for a fix.

Yeah I saw a lot of complaints, especially on Saturday. I've had random spikes here and there, but nothing major, not even in Sanctum or huge Rift raids in Droughtlands.

Weird, that's what I kept having on Overlook a few weeks back. Even just a minor rift in the area would leave my game unplayable.

Now it's sorted. Been doing major rifts and dungeons etc. without a hitch! Got my ranger up to lvl 27 and man oh man can I kick myself. I switched to my dire-wolf pet as soon as I unlocked him and kept getting pwned for about 12 lvls on mobs, I went back to my pig and now I solo elites the same level as myself. That Varkie of mine keeps aggro like a demon! All I have to do is pew-pew the mobs down and keep the healing buff up on my pig.

Really starting to enjoy the game now, but crafting is a bit of a pain. I'm doing apothecary and although it's fun, the leftover mats etc. from butchery/foraging don't sell on AH at ALL! So i'm pretty much vendoring everything that I don't flog off to guildies. I think the only people making any money are those selling ore and making bags.
 
I've been having a couple of lag spikes myself, but nothing major like you're reporting Gimaru. I was able to do a couple of rifts last night without too much issue. I know that this weekend there was another problem with international downtime and rerouting, so maybe the problem is ISP related?

In terms of character news, I've been finding my toon a bit better to play, though I think I need to start focuses on unlocking more of my warlock tree to buff up my damage, since the more damage I do the better I can heal. I'm currently level 17, and I'm also finding crafting a bit of a pain, but I'm getting there.

With regards to the world event, how exactly does the 1st phase work? Do you have to complete a series of quests for the event to qualify for phase 2, or is it just a matter of sealing rifts? I've managed to gather (what I assume is quite a bit of) source stones and planarite. I have received a quest or 2 from Sanctum that specifically deals with sealing rifts and Regulos (on my current one I have to use a deathstone on 10 planar beings). Are these the event quests?

Phase 1 is just a set of 4 quests every day which allow you to gather the event currency to buy neat stuff. Closing rifts and doing invasions (Death only) during phase 1 gets you more of that currency. Phase is scheduled and starts no matter what happens in phase 1. In phase 2 you kill some big mobs with insane HP in the open world. Once that is done, phase 3 starts which allows level 50s to enter a set of dungeon instances in raids to take down the big lady and her leuts.

Going to stay away from the event this weekend, my bandwidth budget cannot handle the 50 megs an hour being in a raid costs me.
 
I saved up for it since day 1 when I saw them on the merchant. Platinum Armoured Horse I got, I don't smaak the other alien like mounts.

Yeah you get some cock-eyed lookin' mounts in that game. I got myself a simple black stallion. He's rockin'.
 
W00t!

I finally managed to sort out my dumbass-ness and unlocked all 8 souls in my calling. (Hooray for chiefmince!) All I need now is the Vindicator PVP soul and I'm sorted. I got myself dual-spec so now I can respec myself twice into decent rogue specs instead of the half-assed ranger/bard spec I've been toying with.

I'm DEFINITELY doing this with my warrior ASAP seeing as he takes FOREVER to level with his tank spec.
