Patch 1.5 in arrivo domani (Giovedi' 29)

[Ryo]

Motif of Renewal - New Ability: Unlocked after spending 6 points in Bard. Heals the Bard over 15 seconds, does not stack with Motif of Regeneration.

Una cagata di spell (imho).

è quasi + utile quella che "charma" i critter.

[Korgak]

Nonostante sia uno dei più grandi detrattori di RIFT mi tocca ammettere che questa patch ha buffato molto bene il rogue rendendolo una classe divertente ... inoltre ammetto di essere in difetto per quanto riguarda l'open pvp ... non hanno messo un vero e proprio "OPEN" però il nuovo BG unito al nuovo bilanciamento dei RAID rift può benissimo considerarsi tale ... per la prima volta da quando è uscito RIFT ritengo corretto fare i complimenti per l'uscita di una patch.

O_O  O_O

SW:TOR e GW2?

Colpito e affondato!

[lmollea]

Ho deciso (complice anche l'uscita a dicembre e data da destinarsi dei due giochi che stavo aspettando) di seguire l'istinto che mi suggerisce di ritentare un giro su RIFT, ho rinnovato stamattina ed ho messo a patchare poco fa prima di tornare a lavoro ... ci vediamo stasera.  O_O

SW:TOR e GW2?

* Single-target taunts are no longer on the global cooldown. These include Spark, Shield Throw, Sergeant's order, and Grim Lure. Due to this change, the damage component has been removed from Spark and Shield Throw.
* Grim Lure, Spark, and Shield Throw: Changed the projectile effect on these abilities. The taunt effect now triggers at time of use and not when the projectile hits.

No more morti a cazzo  :rock:

Tanto perdi l'aggro uguale  :afraid:

Ah con Dul per forza, ma almeno ho un taunt instant fuori dal gcd  :ciao:

La 1.5 e' attivata... loggate per tempo che la patch e' di quasi 900Mb, i Rogue hanno avuto parecchi stravolgimenti e ci saranno da rivedere parecchie cose nelle build.

Le note complete:

[spoiler]RIFT 1.5 - 9/28/11

== FEATURES ==
 * New Chronicles, epic storyline experiences for solo and duo players, become available with 1.5. See CHRONICLES, below.
 * New Planar Attunement system lets you continue to grow your character past level 50 and choose how you want to enhance their abilities. Details under PLANAR ATTUNEMENT!
 * Veteran Rewards are being added as a bonus for longtime Ascended.
 * Master-mode Dungeons challenge even the most experienced and well-equipped players who come looking for a fight! See below for more details on what to expect and how to enter them.
 * A new Weekend Warfront joins the mix - check out LIBRARY OF THE RUNEMASTERS, below!
 * New competitive rewards have been added for purchase with high-level zone event currency. Find them on the Planar Goods merchants in Sanctum and Meridian! More details under ZONE EVENT REWARD UPDATES.
 * The Golden Maw unleashes chaos from an abandoned kingdom across the sea, as the Ashes of History world event begins SOON!
 * AddOns for RIFT will soon be going into live beta! These are optional tools that can be used to enhance your personal gameplay experience.


= ASHES OF HISTORY - WORLD EVENT =
 * Two dragons of the Blood Storm have been defeated, but four still remain. With Akylios' influence waning, the ancient Travel Stones, once buried, are on the verge of rediscovery.
 * The cults of Laethys and Maelforge seek control of these long-abandoned portals to help them bring forth a future of fire and chaos. If Telarans wish to regain them, they'll need all of the Ascended help they can get!
 * Keep an eye on your World Event UI for the start of this world event.


 = CHRONICLES =
 * Chronicles, epic storyline experiences for duos and strong solo characters, begin rolling out with 1.5.
 * The Chronicles of Attunement is a solo experience for all characters who reach level 50, congratulating them on their journey and introducing players to the Planar Attunement system.
 * Duo or strong solo 50s can enter the Chronicles version of Greenscale's Blight or Hammerknell to take part in additional storylines separate from the Raid versions of these zones.
 * The rewards for Chronicles - outside of taking part in the story itself! - include Planar Attunement experience, gear of use to newly-50 Ascended, and chances at unique artifacts, new and old vanity items, and mounts from prior events.
 * Level 50 characters can access the new Chronicles window from the menu buttons on-screen or by pressing the 'J' key.
 * Under times of high demand, Chronicles will use a queue system to make sure everyone gets their turn!


= PLANAR ATTUNEMENT =
 * Advancement doesn't stop at level 50; after the Chronicles of Attunement, you can start earning Planar Attunement experience to further customize and enhance your character!
 * Planar Attunements provide base enhancements to your character's Calling from each Plane, and is not Soul-specific.
 * Your experience bar will turn into a Planar Attunement meter when you reach level 50. The mouseover tooltip will indicate that you are earning experience toward Planar Attunement.
 * You must purchase all Planar Attunement abilities of a given tier before you can begin spending points in the next tier up.
 * Rested experience does not apply to post-level-50 Planar Attunement experience.


= VETERAN REWARDS =
 * Our players are what make RIFT possible - as a 'thank you' from us to you, additional bonuses are earned based on how long you've been with us in Telara.
 * Veteran Rewards are calculated based on prior existing time subscribed as well as any purchased future subscription time on your account. For example, if you've been subscribed for 3 months and renew a 3-month subscription, you will receive 6-month Veteran Rewards at the time the renewal occurs.
 * Check your in-game mailbox to receive Veteran Rewards!
 * For additional details including the list of rewards and milestones, see: http://www.riftgame.com/en/game/veteran-rewards.php


= MASTER-MODE DUNGEON - DARKENING DEEPS =
 * For those Ascended looking for a group-sized challenge, new Master Mode dungeons are underway, starting with Darkening Deeps.
 * Intended for elite groups of Ascended, these Master modes may require you to use multiple roles and advanced tactics including crowd control and support souls.
 * Epic rewards await those who successfully complete these dungeon modes; dropped items are more powerful than tier 2 Expert gear and provide an alternative to Raid Rifts and entry Raids for gear. There are rumors of a few super-powerful items to be found as well!
 * Groups wishing to tackle Master Mode dungeons must form up and enter the zone with the Master dungeon difficulty selected. Master Mode groups cannot be formed through the Looking for Group tool.


 = NEW WEEKEND WARFRONT - LIBRARY OF THE RUNEMASTERS =
 * A new Warfront joins the weekend rotation - this one in an all-new setting!
 * Within the depths of Hammerknell, Guardians and Defiants fight to take control of abandoned Dwarven Rune vessels. With the ability to bind powerful planar beings, these artifacts could prove invaluable to the armies of Ascended.
 * Join the fight to control these powerful vessels - but be warned, the longer one is within your grasp, the more its dark power will eat away at your soul.
 * Earn points for your team by holding the relic as long as possible. None can withstand the power of the relic for too long, though, and the carrier will take an increasing amount of damage until they die. Points can also be gained by defeating enemy players.


= ENDGAME RIFT & ZONE EVENT REWARD UPDATE =
 * Awesome new weapons, armor, and Synergy Crystals have been added to the Planar Goods merchants that can be purchased with Inscribed Sourcestone - these are expert-level equipment and worth checking out as a means of gearing up your character!
 * Combined Crystal sourcestone and Inscribed Sourcestone into a single currency for end game rift rewards.
 * Crystal Sourcestone has been removed and any existing Crystal Sourcestone will automatically be converted into Inscribed Sourcestone.
 * Added Inscribed Sourcestone drops to all high level events, Rifts, and Rift related daily quests.
 * Significantly increased the rate in which players can obtain Inscribed Sourcestone.
 * Items that used to cost Crystal Sourcestone have had their costs converted to Inscribed Sourcestone.


= WARFRONT ACCOLADES =
 * A new Warfront Accolade callout system gives recognition and group bonuses to Favor, Experience, and Prestige for completing a variety of certain feats in Warfront PvP.
 * Example feats include the defeat of two opponents at once, defeating multiple opponents in a row without dying yourself, or for saving a teammate from the brink of death with a well timed heal. There are even Warfront-specific feats for unique actions!


= GUILD WALL =
 * A new tab in the Guild UI allows members to post messageboard-style updates for all guild members to see. Use it to set up Raids, Events, or just to coordinate with friends who may not be online at the same time.
 * Permissions allowing members to post on the Guild Wall, or to delete posts, are set under the Rank permissions settings.


GENERAL GAMEPLAY
 * You can now interact with merchants, quest NPCs, and Healer NPCs while they are in combat! This should help in some situations where a great many invaders are present.

 * Quantum Sight and Omen Sight now last 15 minutes.

 * Smart Targeting now actually changes your target to the one chosen by your ability.


CHAT SYSTEM UPDATES
 * You no longer need to be Prestige rank 2 to join the World Defense chat channel.
 * Characters will be added to the World Defense channel when reaching level 50 - current level 50s will be added automatically after the update.
 * Combined some of the level range chat channels - new channel ranges are Level 1-29, Level 30-49, and Level 50 chats.
 * When your character is automatically added to a new level channel (when reaching 30 or 50), we'll no longer also remove you from the old one.


RIFTS AND INVASIONS
 * A new zone event weekly quest is available from Raj Tahleed in Meridian and Abbess Katia in Sanctum.
 * Increased the experience gain around Rift activities - a small increase to experience gained from Rifts, a moderate increase for footholds and Major Rifts, and a large increase for zone event Colossi!
 * The Defiant's Flare and Guardian's Flare abilities now summon more numerous and stronger assistants to help take down an enemy foothold. The ability cooldown is now 2 minutes.
 * Raid Rift tears no longer time out and disappear.

 * Player pets no longer deal reduced damage to Invaders.
 * Zone event broadcasts should now always contain the name of the zone the event is starting in, rather than just an area within the zone.
 * Between the high level zones - Stillmoor, Shimmersand, and Iron Pine Peaks - only one zone event will be active at a given time.
 * Raid Rift tears now have a unique map icon.
 * When a PvP Rift is active in a zone, the activity icon will be visible on your main map, which has a tooltip giving info about the active Rift and event.
 * PvP Rifts will also be visible on the main map when zoomed in, even if you're not currently in the zone.


LOOKING FOR GROUP

 * LFG groups can now vote kick someone who is not in the instance.

 * Two-player parties that disband during a LFG queue pop no longer leave an orphan window on the screen.

 * Leaders of LFG raidframe groups can now change the order of players within the party.
 * The soul respec window will now warn you that respeccing may kick you from an LFG queue, depending on how much you change!
 * The LFG system will no longer get confused if you add a party member during a dungeon queue pop. It also won't forget group member names if someone is in a Warfront when the window comes up.
 * Attempting to use Master Looter to grant loot to a member who is offline now has a more useful error message.


GUILDS
 * Guild Perk: Bloodthirsty: Duration increased to 10 seconds, percentage healed lowered to 5-15% healing, and now cannot trigger a second time while active.
 * Found and removed a weekly guild quest that had an incorrect level set on it and would result in only 2 quests being offered, rather than three, in a particular week.


COMBAT
 * Fixed a bug that caused passive abilities to not apply on pets if they were already summoned at the time of login. Also fixed a bug with item abilities not triggering on pets if the item was equipped prior to the pet being summoned.
 * Area effect heals that were using up a heal count on a dead friendly target will no longer do so.

 * Interdict: No longer has a delay before actually interrupting the target.

 PURIFIER
 * Ancestral Flame: Improved the way the shield absorb bonus is calculated from having points in Disciple of Flame - the net result is a higher amount absorbed by an Ancestral Flame proc when you have both abilities purchased.
 * Rite of the Ancestors: Corrected the tooltip on the effect.

 SENTINEL
 * Serendipity: Now grants a flat 40% chance to reduce the casting time of your next heal. Does not scale based on points spent in the Sentinel soul.

MAGE
 * Warlock's Opportunity and Dominator's Quick Thinking no longer stack with each other. Opportunity has a higher priority and will be applied if both would be up at the same time.
 * Fixed an issue where using two Charge-consuming abilities at the same time would only have the first one consuming Charge.

 ARCHMAGE [PvP]
 * Nenvin's Lament: Fixed an issue where a previously cast spell would consume Nenvin's Lament if it was cast before the prior spell finished hitting the target.

 ARCHON
 * Disorient: Now triggers Swift Control when the stun portion successfully lands, instead of when the confuse portion hits.
 * Rock Slide: Fixed an issue where the last tick of Rock Slide would remove 10 Charge but deal no damage and no buff stacks if you had between 10 and 19 Charge at the time of the last tick.
 * Leeching Flames: Multiple Archons can now have Leeching Flames up on the same target. No longer triggers the Elementalist ability Icy Carapace.

 * Ground of Power updates: Renamed to Glyphs of Power. Glyphs of Power is now an instant cast self-buff with a 1 hour duration.

Now also increases mana regeneration.

 * Wildfire: The buff can now be clicked off or otherwise removed.
 * Flicker: Can now be cast while silenced.

 STORMCALLER
 * Absolute Zero: This will no longer be consumed if cast immediately after Arctic Blast or Icicle, before those spells hit the target.
 * Building Storm: The stacking buff is now consumed at the point of casting a Hypothermia ability, rather than being consumed at the time damage is dealt.
 * Storm Guard: Fixed a case where Storm Guard would not place a stack of Electrified on enemies it damaged.

 ROGUE
 * Increased Energy regeneration rate to 23 per second.
 * General gameplay goals for the rogue update:
 - Competitive PvE Alternatives to Sabodancer, both melee and ranged.
 - Competitive PvP DPS. You should fear seeing a Rogue the same way you see a Warrior. Of equal Prestige Rank, the two should be capable of providing a similar amount of PvP threat.
 - Survivability improvements. Some self heal improvements and vampiric-type Healing Siphons - Abilities that reduce the healing intake capacity of one's target, with a portion of the stolen amount going to the rogue.
 - Better synergies between souls.
 - More utility without giving up the majority of their DPS to get it, bringing them closer in line to the flexibility that other callings have.
 - Large pack tanking improvements - Improvement to threat on multiple mobs
 - Running capacity remains -- BUT, Double-teleport-invulnerable runner (the "bugged" one) goes away.
 - Reduction in required reliance on "unfair" tactics (invuls, slips, etc) via adding true competitive power

 ASSASSIN
 * Gameplay goals: More up front damage, less reliance on super-long, annoying DoTs. Better poisons. Less "waste a finisher to apply a short buff." Slip Away should not be a requirement to compete.
 * Virulent Poison, Lethal Poison, Leeching Poison, Debilitating Poison, and Serrated Blades no longer trigger damage shield effects.
 * Baneful Touch: No longer a combat finisher ability. Now a self buff that increases the damage of all weapon enchantments by 20%. Unlocked after spending 20 points in Assassin.
 * Leeching Poison: The healing granted has been increased. Now unlocked after spending 14 points in Assassin, with an additional rank added at level 50.
 * Debilitating Poison: Updated functionality. The Assassin coats their weapons in poisons, and each weapon attack has a 20% chance to deal additional Water damage and drain 5 Energy, 5 Power, or 3% of the target's maximum mana up to a cap of 500 per hit. Lasts for 1 hour. Up to 2 weapon enchantments can be applied at one time.
 * Poison Mastery: Now also increases the Attack Power of the Assassin's poison-coated weapons by 15-75%. The chance for it to trigger has been increased to 4-20%, up from 2-10%.
 * Enduring Brew: Ability changed - now instantly heals the Assassin for a large amount of health, with a 1 minute cooldown.
 * Backstab: Attack Power damage bonus increased to 150% from 100%.
 * Assassinate: An additional 150% damage bonus from Attack Power is applied to this attack, up from 100%. Now also completely ignores armor on the target.
 * Exposed Weakness: The additional damage taken by the target is now increased by the Assassin's Attack Power. No longer on the global cooldown and has a 20 second ability cooldown added.
 * Physical Trauma: Ability changed - now increases the damage of Puncture, Jagged Strike, and Impale by 20-40% , and the damage of Final Blow on an impaled target by 20-40%.
 * Slip Away: Changed slightly - the Assassin is no longer immune to damage after using Slip Away. Any damage taken while Slip Away is active will not bring the Assassin out of stealth.
 * Cut and Run - New Ability: Available after spending 20 points in Assassin. Removes all control and movement impairing effects. Not on the global cooldown.
 * Serpent Strike: Energy cost reduced to 10 from 20.
 * Impale: Damage has been increased. Duration increased to 20 seconds, up from 16.
 * Hidden Veil: Fixed a bug where this wasn't working properly or would enter a cooldown period when you also had Camouflage, Step Into the Shadows, or Slip Away.

 BARD
 * Gameplay goals: A little more low level survivability - More of a reason to take this as a 3rd solo soul if you're inclined to get some more survivability back.
 * Motif of Renewal - New Ability: Unlocked after spending 6 points in Bard. Heals the Bard over 15 seconds, does not stack with Motif of Regeneration.
 * Triumphant Spirit: Healing bonus is now applied to Motif of Renewal.
 * Motif of Regeneration: Fixed a bug where this would end prematurely when another grouped Bard used their Motif of Regeneration.

 BLADEDANCER
 * Gameplay goals: Should be a viable in-your-face combat rogue.
 * Combat Culmination: Corrected the tooltip on this ability - it now indicates that unused combo points are refunded at 10 Energy per point (rank 2) or 15 Energy per point (rank 3).
 * Rhythmic actions no longer cause Exhaustion; instead, only 1 Rhythmic Action can be active at a time.
 * Weapon Barrage: Removed the damage component of this interrupt ability.
 * Strike Back: Now triggers off of dodges as well as parries.
 * Compound Attack: Damage dealt is no longer reduced when hitting 2 or 3 targets. Now affects up to 5 targets, up from 3.
 * Turn the Tide: Whenever you dodge or parry an attack, it now also reduces the damage you take by 5-10%.
 Contra Tempo: Functionality changed. Increases the Attack Power damage bonus to your Quick Strike and Precision Strike by 5-10%. The bonus is increased by 12% for each point spent in Bladedancer above 31.
 * Counterbalance: Ability changed. Now reduces the cooldown of all Rhythmic Actions by 15 seconds.
 * Flash of Steel: Now unlocked after spending 10 points in Bladedancer. A rank 7 of this ability has been added.
 * Twin Strike: The offhand attack now hits up to 4 enemies, increased from 1 other enemy.
 * Unabating Steel: Available after spending 25 points in Bladedancer. The Bladedancer becomes immune to all control and movement impairing effects after using Flash of Steel.
 * Blade and Soul Parity: Also increases the Bladedancer's Critical Hit damage by 50%.
 * Double Coup: Functionality has been changed. Now increases the damage of Keen Strike, Quick Strike, Precision Strike, and Twin Strike by 75%.
 * False Blade, Dauntless Strike: Duration is now 20 seconds for 1 Combo Point, 30 seconds for 2 Combo Points, 40 seconds for 3 Combo Points, 50 seconds for 4 Combo Points, and 60 seconds for 5 Combo Points.

 INFILTRATOR [PvP]
 * Cleanse Soul: No longer takes you out of stealth when used.

 MARKSMAN
 * Gameplay goals: No longer suffers an identity crisis around being the mobile-soul-that-requires-mostly-stationary-play. Pedestals are gone. Sniping remains. They get enchanted Ammo buffs (via their new "Munitions" line), and can bring one more ability into an AE rotation. New survivability as well. Better synergy.
 * Due to the below changes, characters with soul points spent in Marksman have received a free soul point respec.
 * Marksman's Pedestal and Sniper's Pedestal have been removed.
 * Hit and Run: Removed.
 * Improved Hit and Run: Removed.
 * Swift Shot, Empowered Shot, Deadeye Shot, Rapid Fire Shot: Damage increased.
 * Strafe: Damage increased. An additional 100% bonus from Attack Power is added to this attack.
 * Four new weapon enchantments for ranged weapons have been added. Only 2 weapon enchantments can be active at one time; does not stack with Assassin poisons or Nightblade weapon enchantments.

Nonostante sia uno dei più grandi detrattori di RIFT mi tocca ammettere che questa patch ha buffato molto bene il rogue rendendolo una classe divertente ... inoltre ammetto di essere in difetto per quanto riguarda l'open pvp ... non hanno messo un vero e proprio "OPEN" però il nuovo BG unito al nuovo bilanciamento dei RAID rift può benissimo considerarsi tale ... per la prima volta da quando è uscito RIFT ritengo corretto fare i complimenti per l'uscita di una patch.

e detto da te... ho quasi paura...  :afraid:
