Wow, I half expected there to be at least ONE other poster than Slipmat and his usual shilling.

Apparently RIFT is even deader than I thought. And I didn't have high hopes for it to begin with lol.

Yeah he literally bumps the Rift sub forum now and then for attention. Nothing new.

[Slipmat]

Apparently RIFT is even deader than I thought

Do you even Rift? have you logged in today? this week? have you looked around in all cities? game might be down a bit on numbers but it's far from dead, lots of people running around doing the Event stuff, but of course if you actually did play you'd know this.

[Eleccybubb]

No, literally haven't, nor has anyone but you apparently since you're still the only one posting in here.

I mean, just look at this thread. Prior to me saying that, you were the ONLY one posting in this thread. Literally for months. Face it, nobody wants to play RIFT anymore. The last post from ANYONE other than you was three months ago. You've just been bumping this same thread every now and then.

It's pretty pathetic. Not that I'd expect better from you.

I used to like RIFT. I liked it until the end of Storm Legion. Nightmare Tide was a disaster and it never recovered. It's absolutely in it's death throes. RIFT Prime is even worse, being a bastardized pretend version of the game that actually was good.

Prime is actually dead. Logged in with a 7 day pass I got from Steam (fuck no would I actually pay to log into it) and not one person in the 100+ member guild I was in had been on for 5 months and everywhere was a ghost town.

As for live. It's definitely gone down a lot since Gamigo took over. Although it never had much to go down to in the first place. Guess people don't care for playing with the future of the game being quite uncertain. I mean Gamigo is where IP's go to die.

As for Slipmat you are absolutely right. As I said he just posts for attention. Nothing more. He knows perfectly well nobody gives a damn about Rift.

[Slipmat]

You've just been bumping this same thread every now and then

Yeah, i just post 'BUMP' every few days.......

You are aware the Thread is about Hotfixes right? then you'd also be aware i make posts here when there is a hotfix, not my problem if it triggers some people to post their 'outrage' at Hotfix notes getting posted on a Hotfix Thread......

[Slipmat]

Time to "BUMP" this Thread again....

This is probably a case of too late to the party now that everyone has left, but they've finally opened up Tier One raids on Prime, Crucia and Regulos await us in Frozen Tempest and Endless Eclipse.

Gamigo also announced last week plans to overhaul and rework the Daily Rewards Calendar which rewards players with goodies if they log on for 21 days in a month.

My guess is they'll take a few items from Prime and player feedback which they've asked for in the relevant Thread:

The team is looking into reworking the daily reward calendar in an effort to give more of a fresh look to the feature for our community. We decided to gather feedback directly from our players. Please post in the comments the rewards you would like to see in the revamped version.

Please, keep in mind that not all items are eligible for daily rewards and that not all suggestions will make it in the final version.

[Eleccybubb]

They really needed "patch notes" to say that they fixed an image for a raid mode nobody does and nerfed one single mob?

Out of all the things that need fixing with this game the daily reward calendar should be low prio. But eh the game is essentially on life support anyway.

[Slipmat]

Seems Gamigo is at least listening to some feedback, based on a Forum post about which events players would like to see return, the first of them starts tomorrow, Call to Arms - Mech Week.

Welp, I guess turning back on old events is more "content" than live has seen in a long while under Trion.

Congrats gamigo, you already appear to be doing better than Trion.

Not quite a return to the Golden days of a page long Patch but slightly more lines than previous patches.

RIFT Patch - February 6, 2019

LIVE PATCH NOTES:

In preparation for future content releases, and to encourage more hybridization amongst tanks in raids, we have removed Legendary Hits from bosses in Bastion of Steel, Tartaric Depths and Intrepid Rise of the Phoenix.

DIMENSIONS:

Added ability for addon commands “Command.Dimension.Layout.Place” and “Command.Dimension.Layout.Pickup” to work with items in the moving crate.
Added General category and Individual Reward Charges to currency addon inspect commands.

You can now drop items from Dimension moving crates directly into your inventory without having to place the items in your dimension first. The moving crate window will have an additional button to do this.
Fixed typo in addon documentation for the function name for Inspect.Dimension.Layout.Detail

The Hawk Vox dimension item should once again be placeable.
Golden Perciever VFX should be properly displaying!

[Eleccybubb]

"Future content releases"?

I mean we haven't had anything for the going on a year now. It's safe to say that the only upcoming raid is most likely the GSB rehash and that won't be coming for 6-12 months. So yippee wait a total of a year and half- 2 years to get a raid that's just a higher difficulty of an already existing one.

I mean enabling old events is cool and all but that's really not enough to keep people entertained for the year and from what my friends tell me who are still holding onto hope the game is a ghost town for the most part.

[Edge-]

So what are these "Legendary Hits"? Big boss attacks or something?

Either way, it's still nice seeing gamigo appearing to put forth more effort to support live servers than Trion has. At least they're turning on old events to give players something to do instead of just waiting for copy/paste patch notes from the Prime servers.

I don't see them supporting Prime for much longer personally with how dead that thing is. When I used the 7 day code back in Nov/Dec to take a look the most recent person to log on in my guild was 5 months ago.

[Slipmat]

So what are these "Legendary Hits"? Big boss attacks or something?

No Patch this week, just a restart but the Rift CM, Zyra, did explain the resoning behind this Legendary Hit for pure Tanks getting removed, seems they want to go back to encouraging Hybrid builds which sounds a bit more decent than "61 point builds or GTFO!"

Legendary Hit has sort of outlived its purpose. It was a heavy handed response to hybrids with the goal of forcing players into 61 point talents, but how fun is that? At the end of the day mmo’s are about playing characters the way you want, and forced mechanics like ‘if you want to tank you HAVE to take this or you just die’ isn’t really compelling.

Going forward we’re looking at systems that don’t deliver on what we’re trying to do in RIFT which is create a fun experience for our players. If something isn’t meeting our goals or living up to our standards it will be looked at for removal or a rework. You can read into that how you will, but I don’t have concrete details I can give you at this time as it’s not as simple as selecting and deleting. I know you have lots of questions about balance/class devs, but right now I don’t have any answers for you.

However I will say this, there are A LOT of quality of life changes, and new content coming down the pipeline soon™.

At least Gamigo seem intent on working away at Rift, what this content entails, just have to wait and see.

[Aldi]

I stopped playing Rift around 5 months ago. My main was a cleric and it wasn't doing so great. I use to have REX give aways if we completed content. Like if we beat a boss I would have people roll on loot. If they only knew how much money I spent on this game.. And all they really had to do was fix clerics to keep me. I WILL never come back to Rift again. And yes I spent close to 1000$ in one year on the game :P.

Also, that change to tank synergy.. I can tell even without logging in for 5 months cleric got F'ed again. Class had the worse synergy of any class. I bet it benefited rogue or primalist the most.. go figure.. bunch of bads running the most dedicated players out of the game as usual.

But...what is "Legendary Hit"? The 61 point talents? Because if so, that's amazing.

This is probably the best announced design change that the game has seen in years, to be honest. Hybrids were pretty brutally slaughtered after chocolate and in each following expansion they seemed to kill off more and more hybrid builds while basically forcing you to max out trees.

Seriously, gamigo has had the game for what now...4 months? And I'm already far more optimistic about the games future than I have been probably since around mid-NT.

At least live servers, which Trion functionally abandoned. No clue what's going on with Prime servers nowadays and from what I've read they're ghost towns.
