Edit: Let's all be honest here, I'm a programmer myself, and I'm sure the problem is that their Defiance >- Rifts code is just hosed, because it probably almost never happens(and god knows, at least where I work, if something almost never happens, you pretty much never work on it, this isn't uncommon). I just happened to try it...and it broke, and that's all there is to say here.

But I'd really like to at least see what this Rift's game is like, so maybe it'll be fixed tomorrow or Monday depending on when they have people working and usch.

this is a pretty good assumption to make

im pretty sure the disappearing character thing is a known visual bug and the character reappears later. either that or you're looking at the wrong shard. either way you could have just played a guest account up to 20 or contacted a gm if your character was actually deleted but considering that level 8 takes less than half an hour after you've done it the first time restoring it would take longer than re-leveling.

It's less about level 8 being quick or whatever and more about being afraid any character I make ever will just be deleted/ nonexistent like my current ones are. Also, if it is showing incorrectly...what do i do to make it show correctly? I've already made a support ticket, so here we are.

I mean, I get that MMO developers generally aren't super great, but this is just kind of ridiculous, I really have no options to even play here. I guess I could make an entirely new e-mail account and try an entirely new thing or whatever, but god knows what that could gently caress up if my current account is already loving up this bad?

It's literally just you. I've never seen a complaint even remotely like yours.

Are you using anything like NoScript that could be loving up webpages unintentionally?

I play both Defiance and Rifts/RIFT/RIFTS/RIFTs/Rifs just fine using a single Trion username/password combination.

When loging in to Riff, and you see an empty character list instead of freaking the gently caress out and wordshitting all over us, hit the 'shard' button and make sure you have the right server selected first. Sometimes if a server goes down or you can't connect to one it connects you to another one.

So like is this game just completely broken and unplayable? I mean, that's cool if it is, I'll just ignore it's existence then, but all I wanted to do was create an account, so I used my old Defiance account...and everything was compeletely hosed. I made a character, logged out. and like 3 hours later, logged back in, character and account didn't exist, my defiance stuff existed but not my RIFT stuff..it asks me to make an enitrely new RIFTs account and such even though I've used my Defiance acount to get my rifts character to like level 8, my Rifsts character doesn't show up at all when I look at my acount and log in..I't just all hosed up. Should I just give up and assume that the Rift/Defiance devs are just loving worthless, or am I missing something obvious? I played Defiance just fine when it was out but trying to play rifts and log out and log back in is apparently the loving most impossibilist thing ever.

I mean, I kind of want to try this game, but it's apparently being ran by 2 year olds who don't know how to INTERNET, so gently caress.

Edit: So I looked for official forums to post this poo poo on to figure out what the gently caress...but apparently Trion has no official forums for RIFTS? SO yeah, WHAT THE gently caress?!! I have no idea what to do , poo poo is completely broken, I was interested in this game at one point but now I'm just frustrated and done or some poo poo. gently caress, how could you do something so terrible. All I wanted to do was play RIFTs but apparently that's just loving impossible.

bear is driving
mentioned this to vandee but I wanted to expose the idea for people to poke at and / or poke holes in:

Our problem on Regulos right now seems to be two-fold:

1) Ability timings are worse than they were on our mass of attempts last week (ie. we're getting two eye spawns before platform phase). Someone said that use priority was based on dps - which makes sense, as our only real delta week-to-week has been the increased DPS. If we assume that is true:

2) Our real roadblock has been the platform phase; notably, we can't kill the bridge nerd fast enough because the Molinar group usually lands with 7-10 seconds remaining.

What if we alter where we pop Flaring Power? My suggestion was to use the fact that Sicaron / Molinar are far enough apart to use a FP on each Molinar phase, but Hedo rightly pointed out that we'll probably not have enough DPS to beat the enrage timer without application on Regulos himself. We could just hold it for bridge add+Reg, but then we'd lose effectiveness on it and still run into the same problems as we switch from the add to Regulos.

Something that ... Zoness, I think? mentioned was using 61 Archon and point to point to get people to the bridge faster. Maybe worth thinking about?

Kirtan
May 17, 2011
I like the idea of Point to Point. Drop it as we go into the fight, drop the other as soon as we enter Molinar.

I was actually thinking about that DPS problem. We don't seem to be able to recover when Reggie goes Eye first. I think holding FP would be a good tactic, and then we might always hit Tentacles first.

We're hitting portals about 2:30 after the start (based on my cool down timers). I'm not sold on saving FP, but folks should definitely be saving shorter CDs for the mini bosses.

Me either. If we can stop failing at eyes if the pop up early (which happened pretty consistently last night) then we should be fine getting to the portal phase. The thing that hurt us the most when it happened was the far eye dying so much later than the rest of the eyes. Would it be possible for the tank hanging back at that point to mark it? Then ranged could target it that way...

Once we can figure that out I think we nearly have the add phase. We don't need more DPS there, we just need people to stop dying (and the 3rd tank to finish the thing on time, which I think Loracia has an easier time of doing).

There's a secret. Even though it seems like it would be faster, any time you are pressing a key other than walk backwards you are open to snare and open to being hosed up and knocked out of your easy figure-8/circle rotation (didn't seem to be a big difference for me running them, though the figure 8 may have been a little faster). Once you get used to it though, you can easily get done with it with time to spare on the bridge (the last attempt where we didn't have people die ahead of time I died on the bridge).

And the very last time since I only had aggro on the Nightmare due to having died immediately beforehand, the stuff reset with me alive on that island. Didn't even port me back or anything (so it was time for me to get the gently caress back to TB).

That's useful to know, maybe I can incorporate it into my targeting macro (and by my targeting macro, I mean Tsu's targeting macro, since my targeting macro is target tsu target @targettarget and hastily typed /tar commands if he dies or isn't present or I'm tanking Baziel or whatever)

The issue is the last eye on the far side in his armpit. Folks need to have their camera angled correctly to target it, and if you're angled that way you may not see the tentacles or red you're standing in.

Target macros don't really care about camera angle. The way I have my camera set for Regulos so that I can see everything effectively, tab won't hit anything and basically no eyes or spines are clickable so I target everything in that fight by macro.

You're probably right, I was remembering that the macro was having trouble but it was probably tab targeting that was the issue.
One thing to not do is if you put the /tar in your spam macro you'll target dead bodies a lot, so don't do that.

I already use that macro. My point was the far one is usually the "last eye standing" and ended up killing a few people when we hit the platforms.
