RIFT PvP – From the Mouths of the Devs

by on Jan.20, 2011, under Blog, Rift News

So, today saw Trion release a pretty damn nice PVP video. If you haven’t seen it already, check it out here!

A little summary of the points raised:The Battle for Port Scion

  • There will be many different ways for PvP players to have fun in Rift.
  • Zone-wide invasions!
  • Each faction will have the opportunity to attack the other during planar invasions.
  • Warfronts are cross-server, which helps reduce wait times.

As well, we’ve learned about some new Warfronts! We now have 4 announced warfronts:

  • Whitefall Steppes (Capture the Flag)
  • The Black Garden (Martyrdom)
  • The Codex (Domination)
  • The Battle for Port Scion (Conquest) *New*

As well, Chris Junior tells us a bit about the Favour and Prestige system:

  • Favour is a form of currency players will gain from level 10 onwards.
  • Prestige can be gained at level 50 and represents your PvP level.
  • The higher your Prestige, the more armour you can wear and the more points you can put into your PvP souls

And so – we will also be talking to Chris Junior for Monday 24th January 2011′s podcast and asking for clarification on some points and full questions on others. Keep an eye out for some clarifications and a more in-depth look at PvP from the devs Monday!

    Two RvR/PvP videos. First is from the view of the main tank. Second is my view as a healer.

    Ari, if you happen to see this post and could just ASK this one question about pvp, I WILL BE YOUR SLAVE IN THE AFTER LIFE…..I PROMISE!!!

    Its not an extensive indepth question that will be frowned on by the staff or anything. And its been mentioned by more then a few people on the official forums.

    PVP achievements. The ones in game now are EMBARASSINGLY shallow. Theres no substance or depth to them. The question is, will they be adding to the pvp achievements before launch?

    Its amazing what they dont have as far as pvp achievements now……

    So please Ari, if you happen to see this and could fit in the question, IM YOURS in the afterlife!!!

    ty and Godbless!!
