PTS Datamining for 16-20th October 2014

Datamining for the 16-20th October 2014. You can check out the PTS Updates relating to the datamined files here: 16th – 19th – 20th.

Summary:

• Further Zone Models
• Datamined Skins
• Datamined Models
• Map Files
• Other Files

As always, everything below is subject to change prior to hitting Live and some things included below may never make it to Live release.

Further Zone Models

Again, more models. Zeuxis, Lost Knot, Rended Falls, Gauntlet, Prosperity Heights, Bottom Town and Choreburg. There’s clumped models as well as what are probably lighting/shadow/texture changes to differentiate the different districts of Draumheim.

Port Scuddra Clumps

Port Scuddra Clumps

Further Port Scuddra clumped models. Looks like Trion have split up Port Scuddra’s two main clumps into house clumps, scaffold clumps and road/walls clumps. Perhaps loading the two main clumps were an issue previously.

Datamined Skins

Extra Life Cape Skin

Extra Life Cape Skin

Here’s the skin for the Extra Life Cape. It’s the reward for reaching $150 fundraised for the upcoming Extra Life 24hr Gaming charity event. Full details on all fundraising rewards as well as contests can be found here.

Architecture Skins

Draumheim Architecture Skins

Some more architecture skins for – most likely – Draumheim. Another mermaid statue and what looks to be vase or column skins and decorations.

Texture Skins

Various Texture Skins

A ton of textures! Looks to be wall, some metal tiles, ceiling tiles, ground textures and another statue face.

Other Datamined Skins

Other Datamined Skins

Some more datamined skins. The top-left might be onslaught turret-related, the top-right is probably the rainbow fish for the dimension item plaque and the bottom is probably coral-related.

Datamined Models

Fish Plaque

Plaque Wall Fish Rainbow Model

A fish wall plaque. Probably for dimensions or just in the open world in general. Could also be related to Bounty Artifacts (since there’s wall mounts for those) but it’s probably too early for new bounty artifacts.

Onslaught Turret Models

Onslaught Turret Models

New models for onslaughts in Nightmare Tide. Really bright models. Could be these are meant for Tarken Glacier onslaughts given how white and the amount of sharp edges to the models.

Interesting, I have yet to see those planar turrets datamined in the past such as the Nightmare turret below:

Expected the Nightmare Turret to be found in Nightmare Rifts but haven’t seen any.

Misc Models

RIFT Misc Models

Just three other models. One for a group of plants in what is probably part of a specific Life Rift encounter. There’s also some Goboro Reef coral occluders and some more Goboro Reef rock ramps and other terrain models. Perhaps minor adjustments to the zone.

Map Files

More Map Thumbnails

Some more map thumbnails datamined. This time they were individual images rather than the 5-6-thumbnails-per-image from a previous datamine. Again, some of these don’t actually look like they’re actual thumbnails for players to view. Perhaps these are mainly meant for devs to check errors in the map (since some of them look like they have texture issues).

Other Files

Accelerator Feature Images

Accelerator Feature Images

Two feature images in the datamine. One for Void Source Accelerators and the other for Abyssal Crusader’s Accelerators. Not surprisingly you’ll probably see these two in the RIFT Store as featured items at some point. Interesting to not that the background uses concept for the Vengeful Sky in Storm Legion (instead of a Plane of Water-related background).

More of the usual, although we got to see the Extra Life Cape for the upcoming Extra Life charity event.
