Все уже знают про новый ивент, Хаммернелл
Уже есть и неожиданные известия

Предварительные Patch Notes обещаны не ранее следующей недели

omg

Надеюсь, что всё ограничится различными улучшениями внешнего вида UI - скинами.
Очень не хотелось бы появления вещей, подобных deadly boss mods, dps meter и healbot.

Про API пока ничего не известно, так что точно сказать ничего нельзя.
Хотя люди уже пишут "Oooo, think I'll bring Discord to Rift if we get add-ons. Been loving me some Rift." (с) Lozareth
Лично мне больше всего не хватает нормальных юнитфреймов.

Да-с, юнитфреймов с нормальными настройками по баффам и дебаффам очень не хватает.

dps meter весьма полезен, так и так большинство им пользуются, а ДПС очень важен тут.

Начали переделывать доминатора:

ROOT:
Memory Wipe: Castable on other group/raid members, reduce aggro 20%
Accelerated Decay: now gives a fixed 20% melee/spell cast speed debuff for 15s
Overpowering Will: removed
Mass Charged Shield : 20 points, like Charged shield - full raid buff, wont overwrite already present Armor stack buffs
Incompetence: 20 points, outgoing healing debuff 20%, damaging skills heals aoe 5 peoples within 15 mt
Disorient: same damage, now stuns for 3 sec then confuse for 30 (I really hope they fixed the "double penalty" in the dr system....)
Mass Betrayal: Instant, 21 mana, 2min cd - "Generates chaos within the enemy's ranks, cursing up to 10 enemies within the targeted area. Abilities used by affected enemies cause the enemy, and up to 5 addictional enemies within 15 meters, to suffer 92 death damage and lose 30 power or energy, or mana equal to 5% of the mage's maximum mana each time they use an ability.
This can occur up to 5 times over the next 15 seconds"

TREE:

Priest Lament: added "this can occour up to 5 times" limitation to the talent.
Controlled Opportunity: little bug here, they forgot to remove references to "overpowering will" wich dont exists anymore.
Swif Control : same as Controlled Opportunity
Transference: duration upped to 7 seconds from 5
Iron Will: Talent removed
Ineptitude: new talent, 20 points, "increase the healing ability cost debuff of Incompetence by 1/5% and increase the healing done by 4/20%"
Microburst: Removed the 30% damage penalty.
Empowered Presence: added "gives your Arresting Presence a 33% chance to proc an interrup on up to 10 enemies within range each second" to already present effects.
Chastise: Talent removed
Traitorous Influence: New talent, 30 points, 21 mana, 30 m range, instant, 30s cd - "causes the enemy, and up to 5 additional enemies within 15 meters, to suffer 70 death damage and lose 30 power or energy, or mana equal to 5% of the mage's maximum mana each time they use an ability. this can occur up to 5 times over the next 15 seconds"
(so a reduced version of the 51pt skill)

Фиксы/нерфы SC/Ele

Static discharge now gives a 1 minute debuff - теперь иметь больше 2-х ШК в группе не имеет смысл
AB doesn't seem to microcrit anymore -> Well in 4x 3:20 tests I've gotten 3 microcrits, significantly less than normal
Cloudburst seems to either be scaling better or LF got nerfed but testing with CB is now 25-40 dps higher

Бафнули lesser essences

Pyro Spark - fire vendor - 18 int, 12 wis, 16 sp (31 sp, 18 crit)
Mystic River - water vendor - 24 int, 10 wis, 11 sp (28 sp, 24 crit)
Living River - water vendor - 19 int, 19 wis, 9 sp (28 sp, 19 crit)
Dark Rites - death vendor - 15 int, 15 wis, 16 sp (31 sp, 15 crit)
Spectral Hunt - life vendor - 18 int, 18 wis, 23 crit (18 sp, 41 crit)
Northern Winds - air vendor - 19 int, 14 wis, 28 crit (16.5 sp, 47 crit)

Last Rights - death vendor - 14 int, 19 wis, 14 sp (30.5 sp, 14 crit)


- fountain in sanctum is gone
- the patches of green next to the fountain are now two giant statues
- there is a new npc in the tavern in sanctum called <Treasure Hunter> and she asks you to bring her something valuable

Насчет <Treasure Hunter>. За вторжения в качестве награды дают Worn Treasure Map, которая отправляет искать сокровища - возможно они связаны.

Появился раздел по модам на оффсайте (пока пустой)

И, похоже, Trion использует lua
Type /script on the PTS client, you get an error relating to LUA
Т.е. можно ожидать быстрого портирования модов из WOW/WAH, если API позволит.

Все бафнутые lessers

И немного Cleric loot

Justicar also got a new AoE ranged taunt that sounds like it forces the enemy to come into melee ranged, for those pesky pulls with ranged mobs.

Word on the cleric forum is that they removed "force to kneel" root and changed it to give 5/10% magic mitigation when using PoR

Вот это да, вроде эссенции не сльно баффнули то, но я прикинул, + 30 endurance будет, а в моём билде это 30*17,55=+ ~500hp
Вкупе с какой-то непонятной хренью, правда я так и не понял, что за хрень, которая мэджик ресист даёт, так вообще приятственно будет. ^_^

Justicar's power!

P.S. Erzulie, а где изменённый клериковский лут можно глянуть?

Кхм, почитал про изменение джастикаров.
Вобщем, броню лучше носить джастикаровскую, но поглядывать на роговскую, т.к. сила даёт больший профит, чем виздом для парирований/блоков/уворотов. Оружие/щит, понятное дело, джастикаровкие. А вот ювелирка при равенстве уровня предмета, на силу(т.е. как говорит Сарт "чисто варриоровская") будет предпочтительней джастикаровской. То же и касается эссенций. Эссенции на end./str./block - the best.

На PTS эссенции не только бафнули, но и повысили их стоимость. Вместе с тем, повысили награды за квесты.

On live epic lessers cost 10 inscribed sourcestones and 200 Planarite.
On PTS they cost 20 inscribed sourcestones and 2000 planarite.

However the blue lesser on live currently cost 15 Crystal Sourcestones.
on the PTS they cost 46 cystal sourcestones and 1500 Planarite.

A small note though the amount of sourcestones you get from the expert and raid rift has been increased to 6 per quest.

Zorba Buff Bars

Upd: Вернее это уже измененная версия с фильтрацией бафов
http://www.riftui.com/downloads/info3-B ... oshow.html

There are now drowned bodies, new underwater tears/rifts(couldn't open them), and various objects throughout the world which can be opened and looted for Rune King's Seals and potions and such.

Surrounding these items are new mobs which must be killed to access said items, and they themselves can drop an item called Runic Shard as well Rune King's Seals and new artifacts. Runic shard Tells you to use the "Crystal Remembrancer" within Runic Descent and it will reward you 25 Rune King's Seals, and 6600xp.

Guildbanks! Yes, this highly requested feature will finally come to the game in 1.3

Another groovy feature is a whole new type of collection artifacts that can only be seen by those who've purchased the ability to see the 10-person raid slivers. These "red sparklies" are the latest in Trion's attempt to provide another layer of the game that's beyond the world we typically see.



Hammerknell is incredibly large in scope, starting with the first room. The raid will pit players against 10 of the most difficult bosses the game has seen to date. The dev promised that these wouldn't be simple tank-and-spank encounters; instead, each boss will have unique mechanics requiring teamwork, timing, and strategy.

One of the bosses, Jornaru, will start destroying part of the environment as you hack away at his (gulp) 11 million hitpoints. Guess he ate his spinach! As you progress through the stages against him, the entire raid will have to keep maneuvering in a room that's literally crumbling. If you don't move quickly enough or you fall off of a platform, you're out of the rest of the fight.

The raid will be broken down into separate wings, all of which have to be beaten before the portal to the aforementioned water dragon opens up. One of the wings has been completely taken over by the forces of death, giving players a glimpse of what the world would look like if Regulos had his way.
