The new patch is now live in RIFT and can be played by everyone. Some issues caused hiccups on patch day in America.
Beginning of the Nightmare Saga
On July 15, the major Patch 3.3 for RIFT was released and caused some difficulties in the first hours in America. Several bugs led to servers being shut down and maintained multiple times within a few hours while the causes were frantically searched for. The issues have now been fixed, and European players are also enjoying the new features.
Among other things, the first chapter of the Nightmare Saga is playable, which will delight fans of the lore. This chapter will reveal the origins of Lord Arak during the storyline. Chapter 2 will follow in July, while Chapter 3 is due in August. But also, dimensional craftsmen can obtain many new resources and blueprints as they battle through rifts and the Tarken Glacier to craft new gear. The glacier also hosts a completely new Instant Adventure where the resurrected dragon Shigoroth must be defeated.
But these are just a few highlights of the patch. The list of new features and improvements is long; those wanting to learn every detail should take a look at the full patch notes.
