Hey everyone,

Following the North American update this morning we discovered an issue that has caused server instability. We need to bring shards offline immediately - however, due to internal network maintenance it is taking longer than expected to prepare a new build with a fix for the issue.

Our ETA is Up to 5 HOURS or approximately 4:00PM Pacific - we hope to be well under this & will let you know if this estimate changes.

Thanks for your patience while we get this issue resolved!

I swear this happens whenever I try a new MMO. Sorry.

Kicked me off at the 3 minute warning, haha. Oh well, we sure got 2 of the open world bosses down in record time before the server went down.

This was it.

You are correct. Still up there ahead of everything but Pyro and lock sub-50%. Doesn't help that I'd forgotten that after my last big check of paragon parses they got buffed, so I was going in with a mental note of ~24k when the numbers everyone seems to be supposed to be balanced around now are 25k for melee and 22-23k for ranged.

e: God drat Ahov needs to not be talking about one spec and then parse with another.

How did we not win the dimension contest, not even an honorable mention? This is a travesty.

People aren't clicking +1 on the guild dimension.

Also the guys who run Pirate Paradiso are paying people to +1 their dimension.

Lock is still parsing less than pyro even sub-50% :( It was fun while it lasted. Pyro is super-cooldown managey too, I still haven't figured out the pyro rotation, the guides are super outdated.

I wish I had a ranged spec like inq for spam! Lucky ducks.

Re: to not winning dim contest,
The top 3 winners were paying for +1 with plat and rex, the top winner on our server is likely why they made the winners the top 3 :P Oh well, ours is still kinda fun!

I'm snailing along getting closer to 60 (I'm level 58 now), and I'm wondering if I should go Patron. Is it worth it?

Seems a bit pricey.

Net contents 12 fluid oz.
Up to you if it's worth it, it's roughly 15 bucks worth of ingame currency for 30 days of patron, same as subscribing used to cost.

Patrons get a bunch of passive bonuses, listed here http://www.riftgame.com/en/store/

+10% mountspeed

You get to summon a banker, mailbox and trainer once each every 2 hours

-10% to cash store purchases

1 charge per day (you can save up 7 charges max, if you don't use them) for a bonus 40% of each of the following: exp, notoriety, currencies (planarite, crafting marks, dungeon marks, pvp marks, etc), favor, prestige

Daily login claims in the cash store, and a weekly one. Not that great, usually it's ~75 random pvp/dungeon/expert/raid marks, a tiny bit of loyalty like 5 points, and a random artifact. If they let you choose which marks to get it would be a lot better in my opinion.

You get some nice bonuses: daily 40% "vials" for XP, Rep, Tokens, Favor, Prestige and Favor that stack up to 7x (like dungeon dailies); daily and weekly rewards from the store (boxes with random items, I get a lot of artifacts but you can get potions, loyalty tokens, and deeps lock boxes); and personal mailbox/banker/gbanker/class trainer summons.

You can get everything (I think) but the summons without Patron (unless you had them from veteran rewards already).

Yeah I'm also still trying to figure out a good pyro rotation for when I need to switch away from Harb during the "gently caress you melee" fights/portions of fights. Phantom Blades is nice, but that 15 second cooldown window is rough during some fights. I get the general concept of using filler spells during the 3 second Pyromancer's Aegis double fireball ICD, but still have trouble figuring out when to use poo poo like Flame Volley, Fulminate, Fusillade etc., and how to lineup cooldowns (Internalize Charge, Heat Wave, Extinguish to name a few).


Any guidance here would be awesome.

And one-shotted Matriarch! (Well, 2 technically, but Antaris DCed right as we did the first pull).

Loving that we are full clearing FT and the first 3 bosses of EE this quick. Time to hammer on Goloch, hopefully that won't be too bad.

Goloch isn't too bad, you should have him down in no time.

He's dead! Nearly had him after a couple pulls but lost most of the raid to Gaze. Next pull we nailed it (got all the achievements).

That trash needs to be CC'd (silenced and/or knocked back I believe) during its casts or it WILL summon adds that will absolutely destroy everyone in sight.

Goloch isn't that much harder than Matriarch, probably easier on the numbers requirements even, since it was designed to have mechanics at some point.
