Posted May 6, 2016 I really hope the rifts are implemented in a way to allow everyone a chance, newbies, and veterans, and not just 10% of the player base to control them like everything else. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I would expect a requirement of a decent group for the harder rifts... however sadly enough I dont think they will implement any kind of limitation on numbers there, so I'm expecting the usual brainless zerg on the freedom cluster instead of a coordinated group effort.

Posted May 6, 2016 Can't wait to see the new rendering. I just hope my video card can handle it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2016 Will the new rendering allow for ...coloured/shaded unis??? Please? And also wondering if carts will again follow terrain under it? Can't wait to see all the Underverses built in drab and dreary caves. Within a month people will be wanting dirt planter boxes for weird and wonderful cave plants, still to be designed, some of which like eating unsuspecting Wurmians... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 7, 2016 Could we get any sort of semi-technical info on what the new renderer will be capable of? Better lighting or performance, maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not, hate it on WU , would hate to see it reintroduced, esp with the way Epic / Elevation is atm with so many trees The only thing I really want to see apart from new pvp changes is the ability to make the old coffins, I loved the dark slab look and the flat top, perfect for under forges etc, makes a far better workbench than anything else currently in the game. Its a pity the 2-3 threads on it were ignored by Devs - Retro can you at least bring this up because I remember from the threads there was a lot of interest in this since the new coffins are horrible inside a house - plus they look horrible (just a personal thing nothing against the designer) Edited May 7, 2016 by Rhianna 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A prophecy long hinted at, many whispers about one of the moons orbiting the lands of Wurm and all the creatures that dwell on it have set their sights on the world of Wurm! Invasions of these unholy twisted creatures will be the background for our rift system, with these strange and twisted creatures looking to drain the world of Wurm of its essence/resources/lavender sprouts. We’ll have more information in next week’s news prior to the testing, so get your battle gear ready! So... another short term project that will most likely never be completed...? cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably in the same way that the valrei system that was "completed" upon epics release, but wasn't completed at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know what they say about assumptions. Unrelated? Epic was supposed to involve portals leading to places such as valrei where players would fight against the inhabitants there to aid their gods. And after many years we are now getting rifts to rift instances to fight monsters there... It's not as much a matter of drawing parallells as wondering why the unfinished parts of epic arrived first now in the form of "rifts".

On 2016-01-20 at 8:59 PM, Warlander said: Sieges - very high/extreme difficulty sites, requiring many players and few hours to finish. These sites would be most complex and involve many stages, starting like village sites, with need to break into castle area and courtyard using siege machines, optionally into cave network below castle as well. These will always have chain of main tasks and many side tasks. Rewards are big, with some rare items, chance for supreme/fantastic and at least one-two unique items. 25+ players should be able to complete these sites, but it should always be challenge no matter how many players take part in it. Thought as server-wide or global events, similar to current unique hunts but much harder and rarer (maybe one or two per month on the whole cluster?). On PvE servers, if siege rift exists everyone can enter it using personal rift similar to epic portal. In case of both PvE and PvP appearance and collapse of this rift is signalized with global message similar to unique mobs one. is that still "a thing" or was it scrapped? I couldn't imagine that spawning randomly on the "normal" servers.... But maybe I'm wrong? If the plan for that hasn't changed, then that would be interesting news to me.
