I don't mind mentoring and slamming out low-level dungeons either. As far as leveling, if you have any veteran's potions, use those first. Save the transcendent XP potions (if any) for 50-60. IA is decent xp, but it's better in large groups. Doing storyline quests and massacring your way through the carnage quests while you do so works fairly well.

Soon, we will be unstoppable!

I dunno if anything's changed, but the fastest way to level that I could find was basically:
- Do IAs if you've still got bonus charges left.
- Do the crafting dailies.
- Do story missions, and do side quests only if they're in the same area as a story mission.
Carnages were underwhelming XP and dungeons were really, really bad XP..
Apparently you may be able to level faster by popping an XP potion and AOE grinding things, but I dunno what good AoE blender specs are.
e: Also unless they changed it, dungeons are terrible for XP, in SL at least they gave about as much XP as a story quest but took much longer.

Druid with the fairy has pretty good aoe dps. It is soloable too with a super simple rotation. I used Seatin's build http://manoflegends.com/rift-2-7-61-druid-guide-easy-damagesolo-gameplay-spec/

Is there still an EU presence in Rift? Logged on the other day and noticed that my guild has been dead for quite some time, and none of my old IRL friends seems to play anymore either.

Ah, yeah we tried RoS over the holidays but couldn't get past whatshisname without more people to share the debuff. Unfortunately once vacation was over so was all of my free time to play.

There was a rename to EiF to recruit pubbies to raid and then a transfer to Threesprings and then a transfer back, but the transfer back had to be re-renamed to goonsquad because EiF was still being taken by people who idled in guild forever and never logged on. If you were inactive in EiF you are still in the first guild. Threesprings was then removed from the server list.
The current goon guild should be goonsquad @ deepwood.

I heard terrible things about the new expansion. Especially about the cash shop, like having to buy new gear slots. And apparently balance and most of the new content is hosed?
Confirm/deny please.

The expansion is free, the only equipment slots are earrings which aren't huge in terms of mandatory stats. I just grabbed the typhoon edition for like $20 anyway (earring slots, planewalker: water, double manugo league rep, and two bag slots). The souls cost extra. Rogue healing soul is very good, as is the mage tanking soul. As far as I know, Oracle is used as a secondary, not a primary soul for clerics, and I have yet to see a warrior healing in dungeons.
Finric is vying with Atrophinius for best NPC.
Planewalker locked gear comes from a bunch of the quests, so maybe that's the complaint about content?

Oracle was overpowered as gently caress when it was released and used in a lot of offspecs.
I don't know about now but keep in mind a lot of this content was designed with quality designer RoughRaptors on the team and tuned by quality person Ahov.
I love RoughRaptors as a bro but he has some quality ideas wrt design. I have respect for how much effort Ahov put into the game but he's also friggin' Ahov.
My major turnoff was they did literally everything they could to kill competitive raiding and they did it so mission successful I guess.

But, those are players, not devs. I hope they were at least paid for their time. In actual money.
RoughRaptors was a dev for 3.0.
I am pretty sure this is a thing that is okay to disclose now given that he was at the trion thing at pax as an employee.

Like, competing for world firsts? How can you kill that.
They had people test the raids on beta, found that very few people could complete them as designed, and then they added a few more mechanics and increased the damage and gear checks by like 50%.
Also warrior healing is pretty good, it can do decent single target healing, primarily is an AOE healer so it's great on raids, but 6-man dungeons are so loving easy it can solo heal those as well if your tank isn't undergeared. Don't know about in the recent expansion.
IIRC their HoTs stack multiple times and putting a new stack refreshes every existing stack so once you get rolling you have heals on everyone constantly ticking at full strength.

No structuring it as "raiding for raiding" where there's literally no point to raiding except being able to do the raid easier, and the raids are essentially impossible to beat unless you already have the gear from them which you get by farming currency from the lower tiers.
They had people test the raids on beta, found that very few people could complete them as designed, and then they added a few more mechanics and increased the damage and gear checks by like 50%.
This is actually literally what happened with T3 SL and it was really awful, on top of Mage Tanks being the best for half the fights but not having real gear for a week or two, them trying to give Mage Tanks unique mechanics causing them to make our Rogue Tank lose all interest in playing the game as a Rogue Tank cuz one of the bosses requires tanks in melee so a rogue tank can't pick up adds in the last phase. Itemization that gave tier 3 pieces half the hp contribution that tier 2 pieces gave while progression was endurance checks.
Although the gear check part didn't really happen until Laethys 2.0 was released.
Realistically I think the worst thing was how GA was the only tier 2 raid for ridiculously long.

Patch is up!
quote:RIFT 3.1: STORM AT SEA
== FEATURES ==
A NEW ZONE: TYRANT'S THRONE
Discover the Storm Legion's secret island lair in the Dreaming Seas. Reveal the dread experiments that the exiled Crucia commanded her armies perform upon the forbidden horrors of the Plane of Water, and prevent the Storm Queen's conquest and destruction of the planes. With 5 new story quests and much much more, the Tyrant's Throne is waiting for you.
THREE NEW ZONE EVENTS
Three new zone events have been added!

* Aphogglach: The ancient demon Aphogglach has risen from the depths of Nightmare Tide to terrorize the Calceron Sea!
NEW NIGHTMARE RAID RIFT
From beyond the veil of sanity comes the new raid rift The Darkest Magic. Nightmare beings both evil and strange are tearing their way into Draumheim, and only the Ascended can stop the madness before it takes over.
NEW CHRONICLE: THE RHEN OF FATE
Wondering what would become of Finric had you never stepped foot in the planes? Relive the action of the first Nightmare Tide Sliver in a new 2-player The Rhen of Fate Chronicle.
MINION UPDATES
* Minion Adventure cards now have a shuffle button above them that you can use to cycle a new Adventure card. A shuffle can be purchased for either aventurine or credits.
* Minions can now have their stamina recharged through a lightning bolt button on the UI! Each minion can only be recharged once every 24 hours.

PLANAR ATTUNEMENT LEVEL INCREASE
We've expanded Planar Attunement and added 3 new Nexuses! These are Steam (Fire/Water), Dusk (Life/Death), and Dust (Earth/Water). Each of these require that you have completed all 3 tiers of both the base planes that make them up.
== GAME UPDATE ==
GENERAL

* Porticulums at friendly hubs are now unlocked when a player discovers the area near the porticulum - there is no longer a need to talk to the NPC to unlock it!
- If the porticulum is a part of an unfriendly hub, then players will still need to click on that porticulum master to unlock that porticulum.
- Players that have already discovered an area containing a porticulum, but have not yet unlocked that porticulum, will still need to talk to the NPC to do so.
* Adjustments have been made to the amount of experience gained while Mentoring and Sidekicking.
- Mentoring experience gained from kills has been increased.

What's that about minion stamina and adventure cards
Back when I still played they were just little cosmetic dudes that you summoned to follow you around

Those are companions. Minions are basically pokemon cards that you send to fetch crafting materials, dimension items, and artifacts.

Did you think about it?
Yes. Yes you did.

Think Garrison from the new WoW expansion.
EDIT: Also, we need to get that guild mission turned in so I can start grinding 10000 rifts for the next one.
