Patch notes:

* Fixed a bug that could (rarely) send players clicking on the "Return to Graveyard" button to the Plane of Water! (This was less exciting than it sounds, because they'd crash due to not having patched the map yet...)

Speaking of which:

quote:

GENERAL
* Players with low video settings can no longer accidentally walk through solid objects.
* The transparency on some in-game objects has been fixed.
* Fixed an issue that caused some players to be unable to view their wardrobe.
* Previewing glass objects in the RIFT Store no longer sometimes causes visual artifacts.
* Fixed an issue that allowed movement during some stun effects. Hold still!
* The ground-effect targeting reticle will now be more visible on transparent surfaces.
* Players should no longer be occasionally locked out of their own random LFD instances.
* Fixed a bug that could (rarely) send players clicking on the "Return to Graveyard" button to the Plane of Water! (This was less exciting than it sounds, because they'd crash due to not having patched the map yet...)


RIFT STORE
* 2.4 Achievement rewards are now available in the Trophy section of the store. Note that you must have the achievement before you can purchase the items.
* Fixed an issue with a few items in the trophy section erroneously being unique!
* Players with Storm Legion Souls can once again purchase these items as gifts for their friends who don't yet have the Storm Legion Souls.


SOULS

WARRIOR

REAVER
* All Reaver Corruptions are now off GCD.

* Run like the Wind: Now also increases passive movement speed by 2-6%.
* Predictable Movements: No longer a Finisher. Causes the next 3 melee ability attacks to be reflected back against the attacker.


ZONES
* The Water Saga quests Joining the Cabal and Initiation should now function correctly for the assault on the Wardstone.

EMBER ISLE
* The minimum level required for Ember Isle quests has been reduced to 48.

STONEFIELD
* Quest: Assistance for Granite Falls: Now correctly teleports characters to Coterie Camp.


DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES

EXODUS OF THE STORM QUEEN
* The Blackstorm Vangaurds during the Hot Lead, Cold Steel event should no longer get stuck in the roof.

INFERNAL DAWN: LAETHYS
* Fixed an issue that could cause Maklamos's Doom to root both players.

INFINITY GATE
* Viktus: Trash mobs for the life and death pulls now correctly aggro as a group.
* Earning the achievement Conqueror: Infinity Gate now grants the Infinity Gate Conqueror's Treasure Box.


REALM OF TWISTED DREAMS
* Greenscale: Players who successfully became roasted, tenderized and seasoned will now be properly granted the achievement The Perfect Dish.
* Greenscale: Pets will now correctly be able to attack Greenscale after he lands.
* The jump puzzle reward, Definitely Not A Sinister Companion, is now Bind to Account.
* Earning the achievement Conqueror: Realm of Twisted Dreams now grants Companion Pet: Sneeps.


CRAFTING
* Recently learned crafting recipes will no longer show in the Store and properly show as learned without having to relog.


ITEMS
* Frozen Eclipse Stone drop rates for Tier 1 raid bosses have been corrected.
* Reinforced Aggressor's Exalted Parrying Dagger is no longer Unique equip.
* Dendrome Raider's Power Cell now has an Empreal Slayer's Mark cost as well as a Credit cost and can be purchased from the Rift Store.
* Raid 2 Chloromancer trinket upgrade paths have received the ability upgrades that the cleric trinket set did:
- Prophet of the Bleeding Tree
- The Screams of the Rising Wind
- Light of the Infinite Firmaments
* The Survivor Hood can now be worn in a Wardrobe slot by all classes.
* Added reward package for new Infinity Gate conqueror achievement.
* Added appropriate icon to Snizzip pet.
* The few potions whose stack sizes were less than 99 have had their stack sizes increased to 99.

I guess I wasn't the only person who found the GA tower to not exactly have a floor, though I wonder if that includes the EE tunnel to Goloch not actually being a wall. Also Tsu now has a shadow thing he can send to his main yay.

The patch notes have been updated to include some more things like a change in the Necromancer's Corpse Explosion and consuming old PVP gear for favor. On the forums, at least.

My guild is going to try and do alt T1s on Wednesday nights @ 9:30-1:30 EST and will probably need a few PUGs to round out the group. If you guys have extra people that would like to come throw me a tell at Bobdol@faeblight. If we can get decent enough PUGs and the right guildies want to go we usually can do 8/9 or 9/9 in one night.

On fights that actually strained raid healing (Thalguur, Hylas), it was pretty easy to burn out.

Also, did they ever change those butchering/outfitter drop quest items to stop dropping if you already completed the quest?

Man, leveling slows to a crawl after hitting 50. I know the level pools are much larger and the exp gains are larger to compensate, but it feels like a drag. Is there any way to speed up the process besides random IA and hate yourself?

This is massive hyperbole unless it was a bonus weekend and you had an 80% experience pot running the entire time, and you poopsocked the entire time.

Keep in mind the fastest 50-60 was roughly 2 days straight when SL came out.

We ended up at 3/4 FT because we did not have our 2 MTs and only like 2 main healers (including myself as Defiler). We did still have 14 guildies at least. Hopefully going forward we can get better at synth-swapping, circles and wisps during Twins. Once we can do that with PUGs we should be able to get 4/4 and 2/5 at the least.

He was discussing this in general chat before he quit Rift forever (?).

He had all acheivements. Every single one. He gave the point/score total and it was very large but I didn't screenshot or remember it. edit: I think it was in the low 15000s

Had our usual warden with us so that was fine. Mostly just bad at interrupting the cyclone add and for some reason we kept dragging the bomb away from the turret. And our dwarf kept getting gibbed as soon as the big robot spawned (no big loss, just a dwarf).

Yeah our token dwarf's decent enough at healing, so he can keep himself alive in warden. Also it's hilarious when he gets the stack mark because the first bahmi in makes it impossible to tell where anything is.
