R.I.P. Rift raid content

Зы. Сегодня, наверное и первого босса не убъём

Конечно, с уменьшенным на 50% hp.

Стоп паника, Арак еще даст жару, да и 10-ка пока очень даже, при том что мы даже хм не пробовали.

* Lord Arak:
- HP has been reduced by 30%.

Я думаю скоро всех боссов в МоМ-е будем выносить соплей от БМ-ской птички.

не этот арак . Arisen Arak_а не нерфили

очень смешно


- Ааааа... Я умер! Вы меня убили...

- Да мы даже тебя не спулили...

- А мне плевать. Просто возьмите лут.

А что унывать! Nothing can be done!
Ну а если поверил, то

ничего личного просто недоволен решением Трионов

Мне жаль всех тех, людей, что траят этих боссов и теперь не получат тех эмоций при фёст-киле, ради которых кто-то из них и играет.

Да ладно Аргус, все равно не все смогут дальше фокса уйти.

Я думаю триони это делают не от жизни хорошей, скорее всего это крайний шаг чтоб спасти рифт. Если это тоже не поможет то мы скорее все станем свидетелями смерти рифта.

Я могу предсказать судный день рифта!

ничего приятного....

Делаем ставки что это 3.7 с Т4 или 4.0. Я ставлю на 4.0

Я на то, что начиная с Т4, а закончится тем, что не выпустят новый аддон из-за не хватки денег и игроков...

На ПТС началась работа (надеюсь еще не закончилась) над душой Варлорд - пока изменения коснулись всем ненавистных финишеров (Tactical Surge, Battle Surge, Defensive Surge) теперь они срабатывают после любого финишера и обновляются - это из приятного). Душа досих пор имеет много пвп талантов которые не работают в ПВЕ.

Пятиминутка депрессии.


Поддержу *грустная улыбка*. Судя по тому, что Рифт в последний год внезапно покатился по проторенной мейлоаллодами дорожке (и это после самой уютной модели f2p в мире, не имеющей аналогов, изначальной, да еще и перевода с подписки на неё, что вдовйне нонсенс и скилл; и работы разработчиков и дизайнеров на старых версиях РЕАЛЬНОЙ) - труп, конечно, пинать еще пытаться будут, но, увы, за океаном доить последних трех с половиной игроков вряд ли, годами еще, посчитают эффективным. Проще ресурсы отдать тому, что на данный момент приносит доход. Печально, ведь сами в том и виноваты, хороня свой "флагманский" проект раньше срока, да и занимая им, едва ли не единолично, сегмент игрорынка целый еще напоследок.
Ну да сейчас такие тенденции, игрострой все-таки влился в общие рынок и "общество потребления", увы.


Не привели бы эти изменения к тому, что сталось в общем итоге с Ривером. Да и с варотанками нынче в целом, как следствие. ИМО - лучше бы Паладином занялись толково, под юродивые нынешние механики, ну да это мечты. Ведь вот именно, что Варлорд в комбинациях ПвП-шных же пока хоть эффективен, пусть давно и не гибридотанк и не билд для кача. Как бы не вышло снова: "хотели сделать из танка ДД под все активности, да еще и в три кнопки нажимаемые, слишком переимбовали, пожалуй, сольём его лучше вообще, тем более, души новые не все покупают разные." Но насчет финишеров - неплохо, конечно, пока это коснулось только их.

Предположительно, новый шмот в новой 10ке

С кучей критшанса

Ксенир этот шмот находится в коробке с названием Test Item set Raid 4. Так что это может быть не дроп из 10-ки а Т4 сет или Т1 сет в 4.0.
Ждем объявление от разрабов, Очо обещал после запуска 10-ки сделать большое объявление о будушом контенте.

П.С Я все же надеюсь что название коробки осталось со времен когда 10-ка планировалось как Т4 а тепер оно нужна для теста Т1 в 4.0
