[RIFT] 1.3 Coming soon - Server Transfers, Guild Banks, and World Events! Oh My!

Demiurge

Found my favorite spec so far, inquisitor/warden/druid. Sure I'm dragging a useless pet around but its got a small hot and I keep my tank buddy wonderfully happy while dishing out good aoe damage

ringswraith

So has anyone bothered using the authenticator (on the iPhone)? Just wondering if it was working as intended.

Working as intended.

So looks like I will be making a dude on Faeblight, Defiant side. I'm not really sure what to play...

Maguano

any one in KoA able to make me Faith-Forged Spaulders? I have the mats...(except for an augmentation)
thanks
sb

M.D.

Has anyone else had any problems with slip away having mobs still chase you?

If you play a warrior or cleric you will always get a spot in a group, as tank or healer respectively. If you play mage you might also always get a group as healer or range dps and if you play rogue be prepared to be devoted to the calling and quite patient with things :P

Yes. I don't get it and it is very annoying.

Maguano

so...healing... anyone have a good spec for a level 50 cleric (aka learning to heal)? The official forums are a cesspool of hate, and it hurts my brain to read them.

I came up with this warden build, but i'm not sure how effective it would be.

Spawnbroker

So I made a defiant on faeblight, and I'm a mage. One thing I've noticed so far, I am getting quite a few abilities that I'm just...not using. Is this normal? For example, I'm a pyromancer / elementalist / stormcaller, and the only level 1 nuke with a cast time that I use with regularity is fireball, for obvious reasons.

Echo

All souls start out with some basic damage abilities. Just use the ones from your main soul and ignore the rest.

Not yet. I've only gotten 2 plaques total, and I'm saving for the Hauberk of the Devout.

Spawnbroker

So I just soloed a rift (woo!) and got some otherworldy sourcestone and some planarite. What are they used for, and should I try to get more?

pantsy

Can someone give me an example of a Paragon/Riftblade skill rotation? I am having a hard time telling if I should be inserting rift finishers after using strike like iron.

Yes, they broke something recently. The mobs maintain aggro on me, and will chase me around, but will not hit me so long as the slip away buff is active (so it's very odd). Once I'm back to normal stealth they will re-engage.

I've also found one spot in the droughtlands where my stealth will just randomly drop off, which has proved fatal more than once.


Rift Forums thread on issue. Add comments (you don't have to follow the thread) to help get their damn attention! From some light browsing it's affecting other similar abilities (like the Feign Death).

Otherworldly Sourcestone is used to buy rewards for the current World Event, and Planarite is used to buy Planar Goods, basically rewards for closing rifts and fighting invasions. Keep closing rifts and saving that stuff up, some good stuff to pick up there.

So I was just playing Rift, and it disconnects me from the game. When I try to log back in, it gives me this error #2005, failed to connect to the authentication server.

Are the Rift servers down, or is this a bug?

Same here o_O

I think its a bug.

Official forums are also down.

SkyCaptain

God damn... people are fucking stupid. I can't tell you how many times I post: Lvl 18 Tank LFG for RoF/IT in LFG and Level 10-19... and I get people whispering me with their level and role. If I wanted to start the fucking group I would have used LFM, not LFG. It's a minor annoyance, yeah... but it still pisses me off when it happens all the time. People need to learn to fucking read.

ICUb

Same thing happens to me ALL THE TIME. really annoying when you want to be lazy and join a gd group.

flammiebc

2.5 weeks into end-tier workorders, and only 1 epic crafting plaque between runecrafting and outfitting. Thanks for (almost) nothing, RNG!

I think my experience with the game's been better off not reading much and just playing, but this is approaching korean-mmo levels of stupid.

Ishtaar

Sweet, I can finally get [Planar Lure] on my Cleric. It only took them 39 days to reply to my ticket regarding the quest being bugged. /grumblegrumble

SkyCaptain

Welp, I'm done until they implement a proper cross-server LFD tool. I'm sick and fucking tired of spending an hour or two (sometimes more) every god damn day trying to put together groups on any of my characters. Trion totally fucked up launch day by opening all the god damned fucking servers at the same fucking time. And they should have had an LFD tool from day one.

BradicusMaximus

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

On another note, I'd be happy if I didn't see another death rift for another month or so >.>

Figgy

So very, very, angry.

In other news, I managed to get my shift taken care of tomorrow so I can take part in the event. If it gets cancelled again I'll be very upset.

SightTDW

That was lucky, just decided I wanted to look into Rift a little on a whim, and caught wind of the trial event amathing. Downloading things now.

As a compulsive gatherer/artifact hunter I found something I thought I'd share:

http://psiharis.com/rift/parser/

Cool maps of all kinds of shit. Of course I'll need to alt-tab to refer to them in game (or print them on *eww* paper), but I thought it was pretty neat. Maybe I need to find a laptop.

You rock. Nice find.

This + iPhone.

Edit: Looks like it needs way more data. Grossly inaccurate.

No offense, but why didn't you start on one of the PA servers? Wrong time zone?

ICUb

In regards to augments, can they be added only during the creation of an item?

Because he didn't want to roll Defiant, so he made his own Guardian guild elsewhere.

I seem to recall, Captain, that your guild had hundreds of players. Why are you having such a hard time finding a group? The Mouths have maybe a dozen or so players on at all times and I've never had issues.

ICUb wrote: »

Correct. Runes are added afterward.

ICUb

bummer, wanted to save up my pennies and get some stuff remade with new purply augments

Demiurge

I have a question about artifacts, are all the sets onetime only? Because I keep picking up things I've already used.

iguanacus

Some artifacts are part of 2 sets, but the majority are one use. But you can mail em to alts or sell em on the AH if you can't use or don't want them.

We pretty much have constant artifact trade in KoA. It's at the point where someone will just link 5 artifacts in guild chat, and people will call out what they need.

You know what would help? A guild bank.

I'm still completely flabbergasted that this wasn't in at launch.

TSM has been doing it since launch. #pvpdoesitbetter

They're not always online at the same time nor at the right level for the dungeon I want to run. The resident uber guild has also poached pretty much every dedicated level fifty from my guild. It's kinda funny that over half the uber guild started in mine, but oh well. I was never really that interested in leading the guild into raids.

Rikidou Hyuuga

therein lies the problem

ICUb

I hate leading things as well, but necessity is a silly goose.

devCharles

I created an alt on Sunrest to do outfitting and apothecary, purely because my main has more cloth and leather than I know what to do with.I guess I finally won't be needing for bags.

Artereis

So I intended to be on to tank some experts tonight, but my wife poached me. Sorry, folks. Tomorrow!
