Dino Hunting

RIFT kicked off Trion’s 24hr Extra Life livestream at 9am PST on 7th Nov with a dino-hunting session.

• About 6x Bloodfrenzied Hunters were unleashed across the Wilds with about 500mil hp each. They were manned by different devs.
• A single Ancient Khadluu Khan with 1bil hp also popped up manned by Dev Kerilar.

Killing the dinos gave 1mil PA XP + 250x Abyssal Crusader’s Marks, as well as the title “Khadluu Stalker” for Kerilar and “Pack Hunter” for the rest.

Kerilar appeared both throughout the Planetouched Wilds on Greybriar (NA) as well as in Moonshade Highlands on Gelidra (EU) later on.

RIFT Info

The 2nd RIFT stream had Rough Raptors running around warfronts in his dino outfit. He was joined by CM Ocho and RIFT Game Director Archonix. There was also a bit of a Q&A session during the stream.

Event Info

• ‘Possible’ Loyalty Week. – Archonix.

• Some interesting stuff coming to 5th Anniversary (Carnival of the Ascended 2016). Archonix know of 2 things but didn’t reveal anything.

• CM Ocho is in talks about a player-run PvP tournament in the soonish future.

Content Info

• New Planar Attunement coming down the line. No details.

• New tier of essences? Always; just a matter of when. [Very vague so might mean a new tier of essences this expansion, or could just be referring to new essences at a much later date].

• PvP gear upgrade is on schedule. Soon.

• Mind of Madness Instant Adventure is being worked on. Probably released some time next year.

• When asked about a possible award system for patron with perhaps monthly extra perks, Archonix mentioned that they’re always looking at adding more rewards; perhaps some in 3.5.

• Update to wardrobe system in 3.5. Will be able to apply VFX to weapon wardrobe. Archonix mentioned seeing this addition on Thursday [likely on an internal build, so it seems it’s either being worked on or ready in some form.]

• They have concepts for instruments as weapons that anyone can use. Just in concept form for now, so Trion might choose not to implement.

• Levitate Mount. There’s definitely a high possibility of it coming back; probably not for direct sale. Archonix also mentioned he has seen a variant of the mount.

• There’s other Greathound mount skins. However, not yet revealing where or when they’ll pop up.

• Radar (resident corgi) is ‘almost’ in RIFT. Just needs a little tweaking. Twinkle (Ocho’s dog) will also be arriving in Trove soon.

Engineering Info

• Rough Raptors working on stuff for 3.5. No details.

• The ‘PvP’ event from the 1st stream took about a week of tech for RR to do in order to allow the devs to be attackable by players without them having to be pvp-flagged.

• Talked about the implementation of automatic chat-muting. If enough players report someone for chat, reports go to GMs and they can receive long mutes (30-days/etc). Do note that Trion can also track all phony reports as well.

• Working on a ‘vendor thing’. No further details provided.

• 2-3 big projects working in parallel for optimization. Will have further details once they’re ready.

Other Info

• Archonix joined team prior to RIFT launching as a system designer with excel work, class design early on, itemization and some pvp stuff. It’s been 6yrs and he’s seen the game’s name go from RIFT: Heroes of Telara to RIFT: Planes of Telara and finally, just RIFT.

• No new Conquest maps planned, but there might be some PvP stuff in the works.

• Primalist:
  • Horrible names Trion staff came up with for the Primalist souls including Healamancer and Heartsman.
  • Interested in a stealth or anti-stealth soul for Primalist? Suggest it on the forums!
  • The four new Primalist souls will be coming out next year.

• If you want Trion to hold a contest, start a “Cool Idea for Contests” thread on the forums and CM Ocho will read it (send him a PM with a link to the thread too!)

• No beard for female dwarfs.

• Raid queues? Probably not. – Archonix.

• No plans to bump up max dimension item limit due to the large amount of data it takes to load them in.

• Looked into bolstering for PvP dimensions. Discovered it would be a sizeable undertaking. On a wishlist, but not on schedule/any plans.

When’s 3.5? During an interview with MMORPG.com back in August, Archonix revealed that RIFT 3.5 was “due out in the Fall/Winter”. Winter for 2015 starts on Dec 22nd and ends some time in March 2016.

Of course, this was from an interview back in August, so even the general estimate of 3.5 might have changed since then.

Corgi Run

As is a yearly tradition for Trion Worlds during the Extra Life charity event, a sheep/corgi run is held at the end of the 24hr stream.

This year the Corgi Run was held by CM Morgana, Darkmoon and Sir Shadow Horse.

(Left to Right: CM Morgana, Sir Shadow Horse (CM Scapes) and Darkmoon).

The Corgi Run started off in Meridian, looping Stonefield before settling on Shoreward Island. A Guardian run was also held from Sanctum bridge to Shoreward Island. The run was held on both Greybriar (NA) and Typhiria (EU), with giveaways throughout.
