The RIFT Podcast – Guild Screenshot Album Contest

by on Jan.22, 2011, under Blog, Contests

Guild Screenshot Album Contest

We want you and your guild to make a screenshot album for us. 7 screenshots are required. Each guild can come up with their own theme. All screenshots must be in line with whatever theme you choose. Six of the screenshots must be from different members of the guild, depicting at least 3 or more guild tags. And one of the screenshots must be of the Entire Guild as a group (or close to as many as you have in beta – like a huge family photo)

In the chat box, in guild chat, you must have the following visible in the screenshot:

Hi RiftPodcast, Beta 5!

(If you are wanting the screenshots to have no UI – then enable speech bubbles or send us the same screenshot with and without the UI so we can see the required message)

Now why would you do this? Because we have some great prizes.

Enjin guild hosting is currently working on a whole set of RIFT features to be implemented very soon, and have an amazingly versatile user interface. There are already several RIFT related sites. And so – Enjin have been kind enough to sponsor this podcast contest.

1st Prize: Ultimate Guild Hosting Package for 12 months, including a 25 person mumble server, as first prize.

Runner Up: A Premium Guild Hosting Package for 12 months.

      I use fraps and I’m not sure if the game has a print screen option.

      I know a lot of people use paint. I think it’s print screen + ms paint straight away. So you can only take one at a time.

      It’s just like copy and pasting. Hope that helps.

      The Screenshot button (By default Printscreen I believe) is changeable in the Hotkey settings in Rift. The images are automatically saved in your Rift directory under the Screenshots folder. If you’re having problems with it, I’d suggest contacting Trion’s support since that would most likely be a bug :)

    So I had a comment about something that was mentioned during the podcast. With regards to pvp and the comment Yak made, something to the effect of ‘either open world pvp or instance battlegrounds- you can’t have both or one will suffer.’
    I’m going to open up by saying ‘Neeeh.’
    But to elaborate, I will add that if the game is properly designed that should not happen. Why? Well firstly, with X-realm battlegrounds, there’s no such thing as one side getting frustrated and not queuing anymore, because you’re always drawing from such a diverse population across many servers.
    Furthermore you need BG’s there to alleviate the temptation people will undoubtedly feel to grief lower levels, (Which was not possible to do in WAR btw, despite the comment made about higher levels going to wipe out lower levels out of frustration).
    This game should have a decent balance between the two as they’ve already put in conquerable territories for factions to take etc, which should capture the attention of open world pvp buffs. Frankly I don’t think an mmo can survive these days with just one or the other.
    Fun episode though! I want to be on the podcast!:( You should have another ep where you invite some beta testers on!
