Do you remember our announcements about the four new souls for the online role-playing game Rift ? After a long silence regarding Patch 2.7 “Blood Band“, the release date is finally set: On Wednesday, the
May 7, 2014
the next milestone in Rift goes online!
But what can you expect in the update?
The most important thing: Four new souls! Healing warriors will no longer be a problem, just like tanking mages! You can find out more in our two news articles about the souls for Warriors and Clerics, as well as for Mages and Rogues. To maintain some lore, appropriate new soul quests will also be implemented to explain the story and origin behind these profound changes.
But the user interface is also in the sights of the developers! In addition to the ability to set text colors individually, the following windows have also been revised:
- Crafting
- Quests
- Macros
- Wardrobe
- Achievements
Not immediately available, but relatively soon, there will be new raids – with the goal of binding Laethys and Flamejaw. If you can’t succeed, Telara is doomed! Of course, the PvP players among you won’t be forgotten. The new battleground “Green Scale Warfront” promises exciting 15 vs 15 battles in the fight for the flag. Did you miss securing a mount during the first Hellbug event? Just in time for the start of the second season of Defiance, the creepy little crawlers will return to plague Rift!
Do you prefer a more romantic vibe and dream of riding a white unicorn through Telara and sprinkling fairy dust on the bad guys with your wand? This wish can come true at the Unicorn Festival. In addition to a big party, it will be your task to help a small cute unicorn foal… Awwww!
Celebrations are also in order at the big Summer Festival – and if you enjoy more than just lounging in the sun, you can also participate in treasure hunts, secure companions, and complete numerous quests.
Well, a lot is coming our way in Rift!
