Rift 4.1 hotfix #16 has arrived.  With 4.2 landing next week, this is likely the final hotfix we will have before 4.2, unless 4.2 is delayed.  This is a bugfix update, and addresses issues with the Sparkle caches, a Tyrant’s Throne quest, and 64-bit addon issues.

Hotfix #12 arrives today, and with it a uh… buff to the final zone quest bosses, of all things.  They’re now immune to most normal CC.  Otherwise, the updates are minor, including a bug fix, loot updates for iRotP, and a resolution to a Karthen Ridge PvP exploit.

Hotfix #11 lands today.  This is a simple patch that fixes a few missing dyes and brings some balance changes to Vulcanist, and to Nightblade, translating the later’s AoE strength into a cleave strength.

Rift 4.1 Hotfix #10 arrives today.  This is largely a bug fix patch, though there are two notable updates.  First, all Eternal quality armor finally has 300 hit instead of the previous 275 hit.  Second, the Tuath’de, Comet Forged, and Tenebrean armor sets are now properly dyeable.  This is a welcome update for many wardrobe fans.

Rift 4.1 Hotfix #7 has arrived, and with it comes a new round of class balancing and the launch of the Intrepid: Rise of the Phoenix raid.  There are a few changes to this new level 70 raid, aside from the up-scaling.  Those have been detailed on Rift’s site.  To summarize the major changes: “Debuffs that affected toughness, now affect […]

Rift 4.1 hotfix #6 is here today, bringing back the 4 missing warfronts, cleaning up token boosts so they now work on Ethereal Shards from Tartaric Depths, and addressing a few outstanding bugs.  This is one of the larger hotfixes since 4.1 hit.

Hotfix #5 arrives today.  With it comes some a reduction in open world planar fragment drops, the chance for cosmic cores to drop from content, the ability to add Visionary runes to Nightmare Tide level 65 gear, and an upgrade to the crafted +75 fishing skill rune to make it more useful.
