What is the status of healing in PVP?

Last I played this game, a little less than a year ago, healing was way too overpowered. Is it still the same? Are there still lots of stalemates in black garden?

What is the status of healing in PVP?

Pvp fps vs raid fps

Help me understand something.

In pvp you can play without lag and delays on abilities which is 15vs15 or even in 20vs20 in port scion,

In raids you are 15 people and a boss (typically) yet fps is drastically lower than in pvp to the point of abilities being unresponsive and it actually affecting gameplay.

How come this is a thing?


I mean the amount of people who stop playing rift because raids are literally unplayable even with passing the recommended system requirements because of the 1 core only support is quite a lot (simply because the devs don't update the engine because the latest version should support multiple cores to my knowledge?)

PTW artifacts respawning or not?

last day or so I have only found about 2 artifacts when testing in PTW on public test shard, was hoping to do some more testing of the artifact buff/debuff pathway to see if nightmare ones dropped but struggling to find any now? has the respawn rate been dropped?

Retraction of crashes blamed on game

For about three months, my game would crash when I accessed maps/portals. Sometimes right away, other times I could play for awhile or hours before it did it again. I mean serious crashes, it would not only crash the game, but also Windows 8.1 After two or three crashes, the startup on Windows was so corrupted that I couldn't even crank up my computer anymore. Even using Windows self-repair tools wouldn't solve the issues from the crashes. I tested my memory (passed), I replaced/upgraded my video card (still crashed), I replaced/upgraded my power supply (still crashed), I formatted my hard drive and did a clean install (still crashed), I replaced my hard drive with a clean windows install (still crashed), so I blamed the game a bit too often perhaps. After all, it only happened when I played RIFT, so what could I think? I could surf the internet all day and never a problem.

After much angst and thought, I decided to replace my Dell 8500 (early 2012 build) and just get a new computer.

I ordered a new tower from Digital Storm on August 31 after countless hours of online research. They are a bit pricey but these guys really know how to put together a unit, I can testify. Almost went with CyberPower, but after reading the online reviews of issues and horrible customer service, in the end there was only one way to go, and that is with Digital Storm. On September 17 it arrived. Geek Christmas to say the least. Waiting was torture. Came with a free download code for Metal Gear V Phantom Pain, but I haven't downloaded it because that's not my kind of game. Not sure what to do with that... Would have liked a choice in games.

With my new tower, RIFT is like butter on a hot skillet... Smooth as could be..
I can only figure that my motherboard was failing, but heck, I don't care anymore.
I can finally play.
And that's what I wanted.

Bug when dying in Rha'zade Canyon

I was grouped with a friend, and he entered Rha'zade. Needless to say, he died. However, he respawned at the portal in Meridian instead of the nearest graveyard.

What I wound up doing was heading out of Meridian and using /stuck and having him go to me. He was able to be res'ed at that point - at the portal in Meridian.

PTS-->Live and vice versa.

I have recently figured out what was wrong with an error plaguing my ability to jump on the PTS server.
However, now that I have, I find that every time I switch between PTS and live(and vice versa) It is making me re-download approximately 3.1GB(the original installation of the PTS).

What gives?

Using minions while dead

Why can't we do this? Trion made it so we can use the Rift store while dead, why not minions? Would be nice if we could collect and send minions while waiting to respawn in wfs or any situation like that where you're dead and just sitting there with nothing to do for a bit.
