RIFT:Live has a new PvP Warfront for you: TENEBREAN PRISON

Lock it up, lock it down!

Join us this Friday on the livestream for a look at the Tenebrean Prison, a hard-edged level 70 Warfront fresh off the presses.  This warfront is for Live servers only at this time, as Prime is capped at level 50.

We’ll also show off the new 2018 Carnival items, and offer any tidbits from the Dev side that may be of interest.
See you there!

We are happy to reopen the majority of the Warfronts that you’ve all been asking for! Go forth and gank, stalk, murdelize, lay traps for, jump, mangle, evade, and generally cause good-natured mayhem in PvP!

The full list of Warfronts now available:

• Assault on the Bronze Tomb
• Blighted Antechamber
• Black Garden
• The Codex
• Ghar Station Eyn
• Karthan Ridge
• Library of the RuneMasters
• Whitefall Steppes: Escalation

(Conquest mode and Port Scion have been phased out)

SHOULD I PVP? HECK YES!

Many of you may be wondering if you should try Warfronts in general. Never PvP’d before? No worries, everyone makes great cannon fodder! Just kidding… doing a bit of homework and studying the art of PvP can open up a whole new rewarding aspect of RIFT for you!

WrenTheBlurry and I have proven in livestreams that even potatoes* can have fun in PvP (ok, ok, I am a potato, she has evolved to asparagus).

Luckily for all of us, a great many players have made a great many PvP guides, ranging from the simple to the complex. We have gathered just a FEW of these below. Some of them date back a ways, but the general principals don’t change much.

If you know of more general or specific PvP or Warfront guides, or if you decide to create your own, please post them to this forum thread!

*potato: in gaming terms, someone who is pretty lame at something. Alternatively, their computer setup, if it is old and creaky. It is not unusual for a potato player to blame their potato computer for failings. I certainly do!

Telaran PvP!

Some love it, some hate it. Some have always been curious but have been too skeeeeeered to enter a Warfront! Let’s all learn a little more about PvP in RIFT with Uncle Kerilar and WrenTheBlurry.

Important note: this is NOT a stream for the hardcore PvP audience, and no new features are being announced. It is entirely for the neophyte and casual fun crowd that we’d like to see in a Warfront or ten!

We will have Michael “Kerilar” Hansen on hand to answer questions from those curious about trying PvP in RIFT, while WrenTheBlurry will demonstrate the how to aspect. Mostly how to die repeatedly and getting revenge on those who have wronged you when you clearly come in peace!

We warmly invite folks to share their PvP tips and builds with us on the livestream forum thread, and will feature any good linked guides or how to information! The top three contributions will receive a 6th Anniversary Parade Tuskar mount!

Greetings, Ascended! We are happy to announce that ALL players will be able to stack charges again.

It’s been just over one year since our big update to Patron rewards. Since then, we’ve been keeping an eye on not just the in-game activities of players, but also your sentiments and feedback, both here on the forums and elsewhere.

After extensive review, we’ve decided to bring back a classic feature by popular request:
After tomorrow’s update, ALL players will once more be able to store up to 7 charges of Warfront, Dungeon and Chronicle bonuses!

Thank you all for providing detailed feedback on this topic; we are very thankful for such a devoted player-base. You can discuss this topic further on the official thread: http://forums.riftgame.com/general-discussions/general-discussion/493323-update-non-patrons-can-once-again-stack-warfront-dungeon-chronicle-bonuses.html
