    Rift 2.4 - Hotfixes

    As with all large content updates a few bugs are bound to slip through the cracks. In true Trion style they've already addressed a few in the EU Update and NA gets the same later. Here's Hotfix #1

    RIFT 2.4 Hot Fix #1 - 9/19 @ 8:00AM PDT || 9/20 EU @ 1AM GMT

    RIFT 2.4: Hotfix #1 9/19/13

    GENERAL

    * The damage and HP of old world (Mathosia/Ember Isle) mobs have been slightly reduced. They are still more difficult than they were before 2.4, just not as difficult.

    * Fixed an issue that prevented Proximity Mine Autodeployers and Eternal Sentinels from being placed.

    ITEMS

    - Hunt Prime Mender's Rotward
    - Hunt Prime Mender's Brimstone

    * The Multipass Terrain option has been removed, and instead will always be enabled for all characters. There is still an additional optimization ahead.
    * Known recipes are once more filtered correctly.
    * Recipes once more display "already learned" on their tooltips.

    Yeah, I had seen that in the dev tracker as well. Wonder if they had to pull it at the last minute or just an oversight in the patch notes.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Dev tracker answered my question.

    I just checked on a live server, PB entrance IS active there. Not sure why it didn't make it to the patch notes.

    Daglars pride is still strong. No changes to RotD. Not sure why they continue to ignore the fact groups fall apart the moment they enter the instance. It is over tuned to be in a LFG pug rotation.

    It is not challenging or skillful to beat on mobs with heavily inflated HP values for the sake of beating on mobs with heavily inflated health values.

    For a change us Europeans get a hot fix first, probably due to the World Bosses resetting today, can't have 200 raiders falling off the sides in the Hive!
    oh, and probably due to the Puremallace campaign train for Realm of Twisted Dreams

    RIFT 2.4: Hotfix #9 10/30/13 @ 10AM PDT || 10/30 EU @ 1AM GMT

    RIFT 2.4: Hotfix #9 10/30/13

    GENERAL

    * Experience gains in 50+ content have been adjusted to be more in line with pre-50 progress, resulting in a smoother levelling experience to 60.
    * Reduced the health of non-dungeon Storm Legion NPCs between the levels of 50 and 53.
    * Fixed some rendering issues in Hive Kaaz'Gfuu.


    RIFT STORE

    * The Glowing Ruby Ki Rin and the Glowing Sapphire Ki Rin are now both flagged as Bind on Account.
    * As we have previously done with old World Events, the section in the store for Autumn Harvest will be going away once the event ends. However, we've decided to keep the World Event section available for an additional week, including the special lockboxes and grab bags, so be sure to get them before they go away on November 6th!

    SOULS

    CLERICS

    * Shaman - Furious Assault can no longer be purged and now lasts through death.


    DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES

    PLANEBREAKER BASTION

    * Fixed an issue where a Hive Augmenter could become trapped inside of terrain.

    REALM OF TWISTED DREAMS

    * Approximately halved the number of trash pulls within the dungeon.
    * Twisted Lord Twyl
    - Reduced his health and damage output.

    So I'm not crazy. I went from 58 (50%) to 60 in about 5 hours tonight. About 2 months ago it took me at least 4 days to go from 50-58 with about 5-6 hours each day played.

    Maybe I am crazy, but I felt it for sure.

    From 59-60 it was about 5.1mil experience.

    That is definitely good news to me. I may actually come back and start playing my rogue again.

    Slightly? They just reduced the health of mobs in the starter zones so it doesn't take 5 minutes to kill each one. I guess that's slightly faster leveling.

    How would reducing health of level 50-53 NPCs help you level from 58-60? Do you grind mobs in Cape Jule/Peladane?

    Did you actually read? Provide some proof thats what they did rather than assuming everyone is wrong and they didn't lower the experience needed.

    Unless thats what they did...which I doubt. Experience gains are much different than mob health adjustment. Experience gains in a situation like this usually result in quest required for each level to be lowered.

    Think before you post, honestly...No wait. Read before you post. Yes much better
