So how does this new stuff work? With the strongholds in Dendrome, you can use flares to turn them into GHunts with jump pads or something? And the ones in Ashora are just there to get attacked? I have a quest to use a flare on a stronghold and they aren't that common.

How about a ZOE MAX? You filthy defector.

I'm mostly in Rift now despite googlebutt throwing a little passive aggressive shitfit after seeing me in the game last night. I mostly play EU hours I...think? Whatever 11p-3am EST translates to in todds of wool or whatever you fuckers use.

If you're on Derpwood, what's your name? I'll add ya.

Zoe has been nerfed. :unsmith:

Trust me, that's not EU hours, it's 4am to 8am! It is Aussie hours though.

And like I said I would roll on Deepwood, but I have a feeling it'll always be deserted when I want to play (plus Trion is the one company where I cant seem to get decent ping from the EU).

Imagine, if you will, a tempest/harb/riftstalker only now all those souls also give +1% to armor/end for every point spent in them.

Now imagine balancing a game around it.

I'll keep it to PMs and in-game though, just happy to see so many PS2 goons here :unsmith:

So if I bought Patron status with credits instead of cash, would I get the loyalty as if I were a cash subscriber? Because I have a bunch of credits from doing the PTR test and don't really have anything to spend them on.

Any time you spend credits you get loyalty. I spend credits on 120 days of patron and got loyalty for each one.

Hope that answers?

According to devs on the forums, the servers aren't running at maximum capabilities. The are trying to increase capacity without increasing ability lag, server lag, or decreasing total server performance.

Fueled by Satan

Wow, so I tried logging into my old character on Seastone around midnight EST and there was a HUGE wait so I started another character on a different shard. I hadn't played in forever (a month after launch, maybe?) so I completely forgot what kind of character I made and rolled something new, and spent all night leveling a Dwarven caster. Before going to bed I logged into my original character to see what it was and I was pleasantly surprised with a kitted out level 50 Bahmi mage and suddenly everything came flooding back. First time playing this on my new rig, too, and :drat:

Level cap is 61 now, right? I'm going to have to completely relearn how to play my main dude because gently caress going back to 10 now. The funniest thing is that I started going down the exact same healer/support path as my main, only with a different race more or less.

That would be a big solid "depends". You need to provide 4 pieces of what they consider to be identifying information. I have the direct quote from my session with support:

"We can accept the First and Last 4 [digits] of Credit Card and Expiration for the account, the Billing Address on the account, any 20 digit CD Key or Voucher, First and Last name, Date of Birth, Security Answers, Merchant/Transaction ID, or the IP used to create the account originally."

I used a credit card that I had since cancelled so I didn't have the expiration date so that was out. Not deleting an email for a promotional Corpus Kitty code that I had long since used is the only reason I'm back on with my old characters. Best of luck to you.

Folded ages ago, maybe 2010? 2009? Merged into Politically Incorrect as it was another Guardian group, then people made defiants and drifted over to the goon guild, then this part of history is lost to me because I stopped playing, and now since any faction can be in a guild we're all in EVERYTHING IS FINE. Because it is.

Not really relevant to most people here, but what just happened with EU-Icewatch is pretty hilarious (and terrible). A couple of hours back we got a server message saying that the servers were coming down in 45 minutes for a hotfix. Then they dropped the bomb and said "PS this server is being shut down during this downtime and everyone will have to move to one of the 2 new servers we're opening" and that was it, that was the entire notice period that they're shutting down the largest EU server. To make it even worse, this is at about 1am server time.

The rage on the official forums is pretty amazing, and I guess will get even better tomorrow when loads of people log in to find their server essentially shut down! http://forums.riftgame.com/general-...pm-tonight.html

It doesn't really affect me all that much so I'm not bothered by it, but it's going to be interesting to see the fallout from this, it's definitely one of the most bizarre things I've seen happen in a big MMO.

Yeah, it's a bit mindboggling. I have no idea which shard my guild went to, and I haven't managed to get in touch with any of them. It'll be interesting to see where I'll end up ...

And if it's a trial shard and every area is locked except Meridian and Sanctum, what happens to my char which I logged out in the wilderness with mail in the mailbox etc?

Someone said it should highlight the shard your guild has moved to. Now, what you do if someone hasn't moved the guild before you log on... petition maybe?

For EU icewatch peeps, when you log in it will say "your guild has moved to blah blah, do you want to move there too?" And choosing yes bypasses any lock on faction balance and transfers you.

Is it 20 digit? Even if it's not it's worth a shot; they look at the account and see if the codes applied matches the ones you rattle off to them. For all I know the GM let me slide on the expiration date of my card.

Just got a hold of one of my guild members, they told me that the guild leader was sleeping and hasn't moved the guild yet, so I guess I'll wait.

This is seriously the best set in the game and if you don't drop 850 credits on it you are terrible.

As an FYI - although I'm east coast US time, I had this same problem and talked to someone via a web support chat on the main Trion page. It really didn't take long and the GMs were helpful. Not sure if this helps the timing but maybe it's easier than calling.

I was hoping someone could recommend a good PvP build for a mage? I was doing the summoner preset before, but it doesn't do anything at all for damage against players, or I am just missing something entirely.

<- not a mage

As far as I know you want to go either pyro or dominator. Pyro does absolutely insane burst damage, Dominator does hilarious burst AoE (so it's great for Scion and really warfronts in general) and completely fucks over healers (you have like 2 silences and at least three ways to drain mana in addition to all the other annoying poo poo they get).
