RIFT high quality screenshots?

0

Do anyone know if there is a way to take high quality screenshots in Rift? Because these screenshots do not reflect what I see ingame.

Rift coinlock feature

0

Yes, Trion finally took a great step towards fighting off the ongoing hacking of account. This new coinlock feature locks all your possessions if the game see’s that you log in from a totally different location then otherwise. Read the latest patch notes for more information:

RIFT 1.02 – 3/18/11

COINLOCK FEATURE — Account Security
* If your account is logged in from a significantly different location, your characters will be ‘Coin Locked’ until an additional ownership verification is made.
* A Coin Locked account will receive an e-mail to their registered account address containing a code to enter in-game to unlock the account.

* A Coin Locked icon will appear on the bottom center of your screen if your account is in this state.
* While you are Coin Locked, characters on your account cannot:
- Access the Auction House.
- Send Mail (can still receive and view mail or remove items).
- Sell to vendors.
- Salvage, Runebreak, or destroy items.
- Trade.
- You can continue to play and gain coin and items, but cannot get rid of them.
* Characters cannot be deleted while an account is Coin Locked.

* If you are Coin Locked, click on the Coin Lock icon and enter the code found in your e-mail from Trion.
* You can also have Coin Lock emails re-sent to your email address by clicking the button on the Coin Lock interface.
* Once you have verified ownership from a new location, that location is whitelisted for future account access.
* If you cannot access your email or are otherwise unable to change your Coin Locked status, contact Customer Service.

MAIL SPAM FILTERING
* Reporting mail as Spam now works a lot more like the chat and /tell spam system.
* Sending mail that the game filter recognizes as spam results in an additional coin charge.
* Mail you receive that has been flagged as spam will go to the Spam tab of your mailbox UI.

GENERAL
* Made a number of changes to how NPCs react to higher level characters:
- Characters under the effect of Exposed no longer have an additional chance to be dismounted.
- Reduced the minimum aggro range of monsters significantly below a character’s level.
- Increased the rate at which aggro range reduces as a character’s level increases relative to a mob.
* Fixed Forest Disruptor companion so his footsteps are not as loud as a full-size Treant.
* Cleaned up a case where Satchel of Guardian Spoils or Satchel of Defiant Spoils could turn up empty at certain levels.

ZONES
* Fixed unlocking of Expert Dungeons that were taking an additional day to unlock after the NA daylight savings time change.
* Runic Descent: Expert: Corrected an issue where this instance could end with players still inside.
* As a result of the above change, the Captured Soul NPC will be re-enabled after this update.
* Moonshade Highlands: Rational Ward: Fixed issues with quest not updating.

RAIDS
* Greenscale’s Blight: Ongoing tuning for Duke Letareus, Infiltrator Johlen, Oracle Aleria, and Prince Hylas.
* Greenscale’s Blight: Prince Hylas is immune to player abilities that reduce healing taken.
* Greenscale’s Blight: Fixed an issue that could cause Greenscale’s protective Life Aura to occasionally not spawn.
* Akala: Reduced health of Stone Wardens in the Akala outdoor raid to make the first phase possible with 10 players.
* Akala: Akala’s Aegis of Stone and Gift of Laethys buffs can no longer be purged.

#RIFT: Screenshots

0

This is just another Rift screenshot post. I did however hit level 40 with my assassin/bladedancer rogue, or level 43 even. Had some problems finding level appropriate quests due to all the stealthing around and not killing all the mobs that aggroed :P I had to alternate between Moonshade Highlands and Droughtlands. I have moved on to Shimmersand now tho and all the current quests are at my level. Had a few hours of pvp’ing tho just to level up.

Have been working alot the past few days so the gaming suffered. Hoping to get some hours in this weekend tho. But for now you have to do with these screenshots! Enjoy! :)

Rift: Alpha Test Shard patch notes – SPOILERS

0

The Rift dev team just announce a Alpha test phase beginning shortly, just like a test realm. They have made a huge amount of bugfixes, changes to classes, quests, crafting etc etc. The list below is quite extensive. The reason why I did hide the patch notes is in case someone accidentally visit the site and don’t really want to know about these changes. But to be honest, most of you surely want to.

I have not yet tested these changes and do not know if the alpha server is online, I do however download the client as we speak, hopefully it will be finished soon enough. If you want to try it out yourself or read the announcement, just visit this link: Alpha Test Shard!

Some of these changes are really awesome and I hope they will be implemented soon on the live servers, for one, they are adding a new porticulum at Knight’s Stand in Freemarch, and that is so awesome. Freemarch is a pretty big place. Also adding a max quest tracking amount to 10 is just genious, I always gather up alot of quests and happen to miss some due to the fact that they get bumped out when adding new quests.

Anyway, read on and enjoy the upcoming changes. :)

RIFT: “Solving” the puzzle in Moonshade Highlands

0

Well OK, I have to be honest. I did not solve the puzzle in Moonshade Highlands because I could not find another person to help me at the time.
The trick is to stand on one side each and click the red lights to power up the thing at the end. There’s nothing more to it really, just click the lights, re-click when they go out, power up the generator and you’re done. The downside is that you can’t (as far as I know) do it on your own, i tried several times but the lights ran out and I failed. :)

I had no problems getting to the puzzle, but it is surrounded by level 40 elite’s. Stealth made that easy as a rogue. Just check the video below on how i did and how the area looks. I hope to find someone who can help me some day so I can get it done. I hope you enjoyed this a little bit atleast, getting to know the location and the basics of the puzzle, and I am truly sorry for not being able to complete it. :)

Here is the location of the puzzle, check the video on how to get up top!

Rift achievement: Give ‘em enough rope

0

So, i just did the Rift achievement “Give ‘em enough rope” in Scarwood Reach – The Howling Plateau. As you can see in the video there are 3 segments and thats just because I had to cut away some idle time. Anyway, I had some trouble finding the last rope to walk on, I couldn’t see it at all. But then i changed my viewing and object distance to the farthest and it worked. So if you are like me, running the game on low graphics, raise the distance for this achievement.

If you are Defiant this thing involves some fighting because the starting rope is located in a Guardian camp. I could just stealth through em. They are about level 30 mobs so it shouldn’t be to hard to chop them down. Here’s a map and a short video of the location and getting the achievement.. Enjoy :)

Location in Scarwood Reach!

RIFT: Solving the puzzle in Scarwood Reach

0

So, it’s time for more secret Rift puzzle solving, this time in Scarwood Reach. I found this while exploring the mountainsides of the zone and worked for about 5 minutes on the actual puzzle. The weird thing was when i tried it a forth time, I did the sequence a bit different and after clicking the crystals in a random order a few times i solved it. So there is a chance that there are several solves for this one.

Anyway, what you need to do is to click the small crystals on the two pillars in the right order to make them explode!?! Why they explode I have no idea! After that you’ll get a key as usual and a chest with some loot in it. I got a nice upgrade to my toon. Here are some screenshots and a short video, hope you enjoy :)

The solve order is: Top left – Middle right – Bottom left – Top right

Some screenshots of the location and loot!

Here’s a short video showing the location and the solve!
(Forgot that i had “do not show mouse” enabled, but i put the solve order in the description aswell)

The biggest downside with Rift

0

Yes, thats the biggest downside i encountered so far in Rift. Logging in just to check the mail and auction house is kind of pointless.

Other then that i took level 33 today and participated in some more invasion/rift closings. We encountered a rift/invasion boss and killed it pretty easy.
I have also been trying out some new soul specs with my rogue. Going full Bard or full Saboteur, i have to say tho, Saboteur does a shitload of damage. Been complementing the Saboteur soul with Bard and Riftstalker for some extra survivability talents.

Ok, I’m at position 127 at the moment, and about 17 minute wait. ><

RIFT: Lovers Leap Achievement

0

Ever checked out the different achievements that you can earn in Rift? Well one of them struck my interest and I just had to do it. The Lovers Leap Achievement in Scarlet Gorge. You get there by walking to the top of the map in Scarlet Gorge and finding a ramp like pathway made out of red’ish sand/stone with humanoid mobs on. Just follow that all the way to the top, altho I got lost about halfway, there is a house with a big water wheel type structure and I couldn’t find a way to get past it. Until… I looked a bit harder, there is a doorway in that house leading upwards.

When you come to a wooden bridge that splits up just head the left way, the other leads to the dungeon The Foul Cascade. When you get up top there are ALOT of spiders, but just fight your way through to the point where I am on the map and you’ll se a sign with the text “Lovers Leap“. Just jump down into the pool of water below and you’ll get the achievement. Good Luck :)

Location on the map!

The sign!

RIFT: Solving the Puzzle in Scarlet Gorge

0

So, it’s time to solve the puzzle in Scarlet Gorge. This puzzle is kind of far away if you play as Defiant, but you can reach it pretty quick if you sneak past all the leveling Guardians. Anyway, just make your way to the top of the map, to where my marker is. The puzzle is on a ledge so you have to climb/jump to get there.

The thing with this puzzle is to get the left set of barrels and crates to look like the right side. This puzzle is not timed so you can go at it for as long as you like. It took me a good 5-6 minutes to figure it out, but thats just me, I suck at puzzles!

When you finally get it you’ll get a key and a chest will appear with a sack in it, just collect it and enjoy your loot. :)
Good luck!

Don’t forget to check out the puzzle’s in Freemarch and Stonefield

@Riftgame – I’m Riftstruck!

0

I just dinged level 32 and hardly can’t stop playing. I really should tho because it’s almost 01.00 on a weekday. I have experienced some really cool and fun stuff while leveling the past few days. For one I joined a public raidgroup fighting off invasions and rifts and that was awesome. We were going at it for almost an hour and it gave us tons of loot.

I also tried out the newly unlocked (for me) Warfront: Whitefall Steppes. It’s a capture the flag-style battleground which is really fun. The downside was that I had some hardware lag the first time I played it, but a restart solved that.

One problem I encountered was the amount of time it takes to log in due to queue’s… 30-40 minutes and that is kind of annoying, specially when you just want to log in for a quick look in the mailbox and auction house. I do hope people will continue to play this game, but Trion Worlds need to add more servers before retail release this week. And yea, congratulations to them hitting the 1 million mark.

I do hope they add a trial function when Rift goes retail so all of you get a chance to try it out. It is really fun and offers a great gaming experience and beautiful gameplay. And remember, “Cloudborne” server is the place to be ;)

Thought I’d post some more screenshots from the last couple of days and as always I hope you enjoy them.

Just dinged again!

0

Yes, but this time i dinged level 25. Leveling goes somewhat slow now that there are so many people playing and some mobs have a pretty long respawn. Altho, i encountered a minor hickup while leveling. I’m out-leveling the amount of quests, leaving me with to high level required quests. I had to resort to PVP and rift closing. Thats something I didn’t have to do in the beta.

Well well, i think i’m pretty caught up now to the appropriate quests…. hopefully.
If someone of you are playing Rift and on the Cloudborn server, send me a message saying hello :)
Here are some screenshots of the day in a random order and nothing special at all. Hope you enjoy!

Edit: I think i solved it…. They show up, but don’t know if it was the thing i did that made it work :P
And yea, cant get the thumbnails to work now either :S Anyone have any experience with NextGen gallery for WordPress?
