This might possibly be the last hotfix of Update 3.6 as Update 3.7 - Summer Solstice is very close and with next Monday been Independence Day a hotfix might not occur next week, be it last or second last one, here's hotfix #14

RIFT 3.6: Hotfix #14 6/29/2016

NA: 6/29/16 6:30 AM PDT
EU: 6/29/16 1:30 PM GMT (UTC)


RIFT STORE AND SERVICES

* The Starlight Rider mount has been added to the Affinity store for Patrons!


SOULS

WARRIOR

RIFTBLADE

* Fixed a case where Bursts would have incorrect critical rates.


ZONES AND EVENTS

GLOAMWOOD

PLANETOUCHED WILDS

* Slightly reduced the damage done by Planetouched Wilds Common Zone Event bosses.


DUNGEONS AND RAIDS

COMET OF AHNKET

RHAZA'DE CANYONS

* The Conqueror achievement is now named as such.

MIND OF MADNESS

* Arisen Arak will no longer continue to send emotes after his death.
* Fixed an issue where the “Ascended Odds” buff was not re-applying after a soft reset of the instance.
* Since the launch of Mind of Madness, a true terror has surfaced across the Tarken Glacier. After fighting deities and creatures of terror and darkness, our brave Ascended would often take a break, seemingly drift away leaving their body among the corpses they fought, almost like they just ‘logged out’.

Upon returning, our heroes would find themselves out in the Tenebrean Craters, where it was clear that their fight had just begun. Instead of being safely returned to a town or a location where their enemies could not attack them, the Ascended found themselves face to face to the true terror of our time, an Akvari Seeker. Many Ascended prayed, many grieved, and several were angry at their cruel fate; but today their prayers have been answered, their despair alleviated, and their anger soothed.

Now, upon leaving the Mind of Madness, the Ascended are now returned to a safe location, free of the tyranny of the one Akvari Seeker.
