RIFT: Recent Achievement Thread

[Aidin]

Hah, nice. We got the same ring last night. Still no random weapon drops though..

[Raen Ryong]

That is awesome, though I thought I remembered hearing something about trash before Murdantix not dropping loot anymore.

... though that could just simply be after Murdantix.

[Neoscrilla]

Took down Murdantix last night, took about 2 hours of attempts, lol. Drops were very underwhelming, but hey, go go cleric tank shit (again)? Cleared trash up to the bosses in the 3 wings afterward, the trash was eating us alive, lol. I dont think we will be taking out any more bosses in there for a bit, we like BARELY got Murdantix......lol

I'm addicted to the new whitefall :3 I got about 150k prestige this weekend, putting me a good ways into rank 4 now. PVP rifts are really fun too. Honestly, I've never been a fan of PVP but I'm enjoying this new content. :D

[Alderaan]

New Whitefall is fun until you go up against 7 Cabalist's! Seriously, it's all i see. I so much prefer Port but it is better than the old Whitefall which was terrible.

[Crizto]

Sucks that the new one is only available on weekends. I thought it was really fun and it was getting my guild to pvp more. I don't get to experience the pvp rifTs at all because my servers guardians just don't show up. Defiant get free clears of them .

[Raen Ryong]

Yeah, agreed - Whitefall: Escalation shits on old Whitefall. Warfronts for me go like

Whitefall: Escalation > Port Scion (non-Boss rush) > Codex = Black Garden (not getting farmed by premades) > Whitefall > Port Scion (boss rush) > Black Garden (getting farmed by premades)

It's the opposite on our server. Despite Defiants often being the dominating force in world pvp from the perspective of pvp dailies etc, rarely do they open pvp rifts and rarer still do they interfere with Guardian ones opened in any significant number. Does happen occasionally though.

I freaking hate PS no matter the strategy used. If it's a boss rush, you get a boring match that ends in 10minutes and no favor. If it's not a boss rush, then you're stuck in there for 45 minutes doing nothing but assaulting around the bridge.

I hope they do a new version of Codex (although I really like how it's setup right now), but just would like a new twist to it. Now that Rogues can't hold down Vault against 4 people I have nothing to complain about. I love BG when there aren't premades because that initial rush to the centre is really fun. I typically end up killing 4 or 5 people in 1 Ebon Fury CD. I just wish there was some point to the area on the sides of the arena.

Defiants on my server easily outnumber the Guardians 2:1. It's horribly evident in PvP, and even more so in our PvE scene. My guild is the only one that has a shot at doing anything in HK, whereas there are 3 competitive Defiant guilds in HK. Only 2 Guardian guilds have cleared RoS/GSB compared to the ~6 on the Defiant side.

What spec are you using that lets you solo farm hk, and what's your gear like?

[Crizto]

Oh I gotta post an achievement here: Killed Murdantix and got the shard first "Avoid the Tars" achievement (lol). Managed to do 2080 DPS too! Even beat the Rogue in my guild who has a 44 DPS weapon compared to my Legendary so I was really happy w/ that. I never got to DPS Plutonus so I could never wave my e-peen around, but I got my chance last night!

Matron was raping us though, best we did was 75% lol. We're so crippled by having so many melee DPS and only 1 good Warrior tank. Our main Rogue tank was getting trucked in comparison so we had to switch in an off-tank Warrior. Gonna try again tonight w/ hopefully a smarter strategy. Need so much AoE DPS from everyone in this fight it's pretty crazy

Solo farm HK?

[Melena]

Solo farm HK?

HK = HammerKnell just how my server abbreviates it.

[Neoscrilla]

I dont think anywhere does he say that he solo farms HK.......I've read it like 5 times now?

Yeah I was just confused by the solo farm part

Yeah I don't like Dual Wield on my Warrior and I have Alsbeths Legendary 2hander so I am competitive with that. Plus I have a rogue alt for when I want to use Dual wield

[Pyree]

My guild downed Sicaron last night! I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get it before the nerf, we got him down to 14% and had a working strategy, but one of our raid members had to leave and there was no chance we were gonna be able to pull it off with 19 people. Oh well, at least he's down now.
