Our devs rarely stumble into the office before 10am, and some not until noon. It's fairly common for them to be in the office until 7 or 8, so I can only imagine that in the gaming industry it's even more common for developers to pretend they are allergic to the office before noon.

New raid rifts were stealth put in with the early hotfix. Only did the fire one (Hell's Insurgents, spawns on Dendrome raid tears) and managed to clear it with a full pug raid. Phases 1-5 are pretty standard tank and spank with with either spreading out or stacking on the boss/killing adds. Last phase is running around to different safespots. Half the raid seemed to die on every phase and still cleared it fine. Nothing difficult at all. Dropped two upgradable lessers which are BIS. First upgrade is 2 Coruscating Etheral Shards, 2nd upgrade is a Radiant Infinity Cell :lol:





There's a 2nd new raid rift called Bloodfire Incursion which is spawnable in Infinity Stepps. Apparently that one drops AP/SP lessers while Hell's Insurgents drops CP focused lessers.

HAPPY FARMING!

Man tell me about it -- I think it's pretty bullshit that after almost a year of having nothing to do but farm T1 content they keep making you have to get more Radiant Infinity Cells to get upgrades.

I guess they want to keep old content relevant and give more incentives for doing CQ but goddamn if it isn't the biggest Rubs-in to make the upgrade token Radiant Infinity Cells.

Also I don't want to talk about having socketed an epic greater and replacing it before Rune Unsocketing and Upgrades existed :negative: (it wasn't a charred don't worry).

RIFT 2.6: Hotfix #4 2/18/14

This fix goes live at:
NA: 2/18/14 6:55 PM PST
EU: 2/19/14 2 AM GMT


GENERAL
* No longer will hostile NPCs pay extra close attention to anyone that tries to resurrect their slain prey. IE: That pesky resurrection aggro bug has been fixed!
* Server broadcasts no longer require the chat server to be online.
* Possibly fixed a crash that could occur when loading or playing cutscenes.
* Putting a player on ignore will now prevent their /yell, /say, and /emote chat from showing.
* Players will now correctly have their ascended mentor level set to an appropriate level when entering a dungeon through the LFG queue.
* Fixed a bug that would sometimes prevent the game from properly updating player locations.
* Zone Events will no longer be so confused about their life choices, and will opnly open rifts of the appropriate elements.


RIFT STORE AND SERVICES
* Good news, everyone! Mounts acquired from lockboxes are now tradable.
* Mounts that are acquired from lockboxes, as well as mounts that are only available for credits on the store, are now unlocked for all characters on the account once learned.
- We will be retroactively granting mount unlocks to players that have previously obtained or purchased these premium mounts. Stay tuned for more info!
* Patron Changes:
- Patron Boosts now stack with all other boosts!
- Weekly Patron Gifts now drop Budgie Supply Crates instead of Greenscale's Supply Crates.
* The generic World Event Vendor NPCs have been removed from the game.


PVP AND WARFRONTS
* Conquest Power version number increased to 3 – this means that people joining conquest after it is turned back on will have 100,000 power added to that character.
* Updated how the conquest reward chest works to prevent exploitation.


QUESTS
* Air Saga:
- All Air Saga quests should now say "Cult Saga" above the quest text.
- Quest: Rite of the Mind: Archivist Aristoi will no longer quiz any and all about the history of Iron Pine Peak.
- Quest: Nothing Stays Lost: Greatly increased the loot rates of Useful Discarded Parchments.

* Water Saga:
- Quest: Unworking the Ritual: Now drops for players higher than level 50.


MORBAN
* Shaper Defenders no longer grant loot or XP when killed.


CRAFTING

DREAM WEAVER
* Certain book page artifacts (those purchasable at special vendors) are no longer salvageable

great, now I *have* to go liquidate some poo poo for plat so I can get another month of patron.

I should be on tonight, by the way - I bailed Sunday preemptively since I couldn't talk and my throat was in a ton of pain, so I ran to an urgent care place and now have shitloads of antibiotics that will hopefully kick this now ~month and a half-long chain of illnesses.

Oh my god please say this is true. Losing raid time to people afking during Res's was annoying (granted there's player error here but still it was pretty disproportionately punished).

From my experience in FT last night after the patch, it's fixed. The pug group I was with wiped a billion times on twins and we never got a weird aggro like prior to the patch.

Well some of those mounts just became a lot more palatable. Having come recently from other games where 'cash' mounts were account wide, I sort of wondered why Rift mounts weren't.

That's a nice change for cash shop mounts, definitely makes them more attractive. The infinity cell thing is rough, but maybe they can add them to t2 loot tables.

Also I am iffy for tonight. Actually I am iffy for all t2 nights if attitudes are going to be as pissy as they were Monday.

Not enough for T2, so we finished (no we didn't, we stopped after Goloch) EE to help get some gear for people. It didn't go so hot either so there was some bitching.

EE is kind of a nightmare even outside of Regulos if people don't know the fights and won't listen to instructions. Goloch is a pretty simple fight if everyone knows two basic mechanics (stack tight, dodge slams) but that still requires at least 10 people to know more than those mechanics (2-3 tanks, 1-3 good healers, 1-4 people to handle glimpse i don't know if flicker still works but cancelbuff doesnt :argh:, and 2 people to get ghosts).

And if you don't have enough dps, you need better mechanics handling because the fight escalates, so yay!!! What I'm saying is there's a reason the weekly stops at Matriarch even though Matriarch is technically the harder fight still.

There are weeklies now? What do they reward?

Also Goloch is harder than Matriarch simply because translucent red aoe on purple ground is a loving pain to see, especially if you're colorblind.
