* You should no longer see NPCs targeting 'invisible man' or other un-targetable phantoms.

SILVERWOOD
* Rift: Gedlo Supply Drop: Adjusted to prevent creatures getting stuck in stacks of crates...again.


DUNGEONS AND RAIDS
* With the upcoming addition of the Looking for Group tool, we're also in the process of tuning our Expert Dungeons to be completable with one appropriately geared healer per group, instead of frequently requiring a second full healer on top of support heals. Additionally, the power of the items purchased from the Expert Dungeon stores has increased to assist gearing up for further challenges. With these changes we expect more dungeons to be completed more often; as a result, the cost for Expert Dungeon merchant items has increased. Overall, this should net a similar or improved gain rate of plaque-purchased items.
* Reduced the damage dealt by general Expert Dungeon NPCs.
* Dungeon Daily quests are now obtained via the Quest tab in the Looking for Group tool.
* All Raid bosses now drop 5 Plaques of Achievement for each member of the raid.

* Greater Bottle of Tricks, Exalted Bottle of Tricks, Whisker Concoction, Sheepish Concoction, Prancing Concoction, and Abyssal Modifier now share the same diminishing returns as Control abilities.
* Guise of Death and Shroud of Anti-Life now sort properly as Trinkets in the Auction House.
* Fixed Swift Desert Najmok to move at epic mount speed (110%). It was incorrectly using the rare mount speed (90%).
* Corrected an issue with the Greater Essences Rekindled Flameshard, Cinder Flamesource, Combusted Flamesource, Engulfed Flamesource, and Smoldering Flamesource which prevented them from proccing correctly in some situations.


PVP/WARFRONTS
* Diminishing Returns changes:
* Abilities are now consolidated into two groups for diminishing returns.
- Movement abilities [Root, Knockback, Snare] which were not previously set up with diminishing returns.
- Control abilities [Banish, Disarm, Silence, Fear, Confuse, Mesmerize, Stun]
* In PvP, being hit with a crowd control effect starts a diminishing returns timer. (We are currently testing this value at 30 seconds.) If you are hit with a second effect from the same group (Movement or Control) during that time, the effect is reduced by 50%. You are then immune to additional effects from the same group until the initial timer has expired.
* Elementalist: Water Elemental's Ice Bolt no longer snares the target.
* Inquisitor: Nysyr's Rebuke: Now shares the same diminishing returns group as other Control abilities.
* Paragon: Touch of Tranquility: Now shares the same diminishing returns group as other Control abilities.

- Pyromancer: Flicker
- Ranger: Escape Artist - Escape Artist no longer grants immunities.
- Riftblade: Rift Walk
- Riftstalker: Flashback
* Breaks Control effects:
- Paladin: Devotion
- Reaver: Tempered Will
* Breaks Movement effects:
- Bladedancer: Flash of Steel
- Champion: Ruthless Pursuit
- Marksman: Getaway
- Riftstalker: Shadow Stalk
- Shaman: Battle Charge
- Vindicator: Unrestrained
- Warden: Dissolution


CRAFTING
* Crafting daily and weekly quests now scale to match your character level and always award appropriate experience and notoriety.
* Made adjustments to sync up Runebreaking and Outfitter better. Previously, items crafted by Outfitters were too high level to be runebroken by an equal-level Runecrafter. The level ranges for Runebreaking have been updated and expanded to account for this and to be more flexible in general.
* Restricted the drop of crafting Cores to specific mob types when in Shimmersand, Iron Pine Peaks, and Stillmoor - once discovered, these can be targeted for hunting if you're after more Cores!
* Brilliant and Blazing Life Resistance Rune recipes are now differentiated by required skill and planarite cost.
* Resistance Vial recipes now cost 2000 planarite, Heroic Warding Potion recipes now cost 2500 planarite, Brilliant Resistance Rune recipes now cost 1500 planarite, Blazing Resistance Rune recipes now cost 10,000 planarite.


GRAPHICS AND AUDIO

* Corrected some audio stuttering at the end of combat, specifically in Iron Pine Peaks, Shimmersands, and Droughtlands.
* Turned up the relative volume of the ready check sound.


UI/SETTINGS
* The Guild Exp contribution column on the Guild UI has been changed to show the member's total Achievement score.
* Raidframe ready check marks should be more readable.
* Text for raid warning messages should be more visible, appear instantly, and come with a sound effect.
* The Settings option for 'Show All Party Buffs' is now 'Show only my buffs on target', which behaves the same was as the Debuff visibility options.

CLIENT
* Added alert flashing (similar to aggro flashing) to the client on the Windows taskbar for LFG popups while the game is minimized.

RIFT™ 1.2 “THE SPOILS OF WAR” COMING MAY 10TH

Latest Update Adds Facebook Integration, New Raid Content, and More!

"Trion Worlds announced today the second major update to its popular MMORPG Rift™ hits servers on Tuesday, May 10th. In Rift 1.2 “The Spoils of War,” Trion adds Facebook integration, a new type of instanced content called a “Sliver,” additional zone events, and several in-game features, including a Looking-for-Group system, an additional role, and a Wardrobe.

With Facebook integration, players can open a rift from the Plane of Bragging Rights by updating their profiles with screenshots, YouTube video links, and Achievements directly from in-game. The update also introduces “Slivers,” 10-person raids that put players in alternate realities where invaders from the planes have “won” and Ascended must fight to set things right.

In advance of Rift 1.2, Trion is kicking things off today with the Spoils of War prelude. Earth and Fire rifts are opening unexpectedly all across Telara, spilling forth mysterious fragments of golden dragon eggs along with the usual monstrosities. Daily quests in Meridian and Sanctum offer special rewards to those Ascended who attempt to solve this planar conundrum.

Full list of Rift 1.2 Features:
Facebook Integration – Post updates, screenshots, or Achievements from Telara directly to your Facebook profile!
Looking for Group– Automatically form groups for dungeons, rifts, and group quests. Complete random expert dungeons for additional bonuses, both for the daily player and the weekend warrior!
Wardrobe – Players can configure up to five outfit slots to choose between - look however you want, and break out those costume items.
New Ascended Powers – Omen Sight (Guardian) and Quantum Sight (Defiant) reveal openings to Slivers and even more in the future.
Additional Role – By popular demand, players can purchase a 5th role for even more class flexibility.
Many UI Improvements –Auction House, Crafting, and Artifacts all receive useful new refinements.

New Content in Rift 1.2:
Gilded Prophecy Sliver – Rift extends its support of 10-player raids to this new type of instance! Fight against Golden Maw cultists from another reality to prevent them from gaining relics of vast power.
New Dynamic Content – Two new raid rifts, one new expert group rift, rifts specifically designed around rewarding crafters, and easier access to expert group rifts.
New Zone Events:
Planar Chill – Control strategic locations in Iron Pine Peak against planar onslaught
Scourge of the Sands – Defend precious resources as they are moved to critical locations in Shimmersand Desert, then launch a counter attack
An Eye for an Eye– Guardians and Defiants summon their respective champions in order to defeat the Colossi in this end-game brawl.

PTS 1.2 UPDATE 3

GENERAL
* Corrected party pet portraits displaying incorrectly when zoning in or out of Dungeons or Slivers.
* You can now use social emotes, even with a partial name match, to display your emote at another player in target range regardless of whether you actually have that player targeted. (ex: /wave Joe to wave at Joebob, even if you have Mary targeted.)
* Mana and Health potion drop rates from mobs have been reduced. They can still be purchased from your friendly local Apothecary friend or Auction House!


LOOKING FOR GROUP
* You must wait 10 minutes after your LFG tool party forms before being able to vote-kick a member.
