Aqui los patch notes de la open beta (beta 7)
http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.p ... viewfull=1A parte de los cambios tipicos, me gusta la inclusion de twitter ingame xD (casi identico al funcionamiento de tweetcraft + mods de screenshots)
=== KNOWN ISSUES ===
This may be removed in a later thread update!
*Buffing or healing friendly PvP-Flagged players in range of peacekeeping guards can cause them to aggro the buffing/healing player. This is especially noticeable on PvP servers but can occur if you have auto-flagging turned on for PvE servers. A fix is in the works.
=== FEATURED ===
* The Soul Tree screen has now become a UI window instead of fullscreen!
* A general audio volume pass has been done along with the addition of extra volume slider types.
* Twitter in Rift? You can now tweet and post screenshots from inside the game. See below under TWITTER for more details.
* Remember those Quest Hub Wardstones that were made un-attackable on PvP servers? They can now be attacked! PvE server hub Wardstones are still protected, however.
* Assigned updated soul icons to all souls.
* Have a pile of Soul changes! Your soul points probably got reset in this beta.
GENERAL GAMEPLAY
* Added a bunch of new emotes! Some hints: Tease, Bonk, Giggle, Tickle, Apologize (which you probably should after using the first four). Not all of these are hooked up to animations.
* Reduced the default size of nameplates.
* Damage from tar and lava should no longer occur while Soul Walking. It resumes if you re-enter after resurrecting, or when resurrecting still in it.
* Dead characters can no longer reveal parts of the map. You'll have to do that while alive!
* To prevent some not-so-nice effects, groups will automatically be set private if any member is inside of an instance.
* You can no longer form a raid if one of your party members is currently in a Warfront.
* Groups with members in Warfronts can no longer use the Public Group system.
* Planar currency left in the Rift Loot UI will no longer auto-convert to your currency tab on login before you can retrieve it.
* When auto-joining the next level bracket chat channel, you automatically leave the prior one.
* Fixed a crash related to trading items directly from your bank.
* If all slots are full in your equipped Planar Focus, right clicking an Essence in your bag will no longer try to auto-equip and overwrite an equipped Essence. It will still bring up the Focus window, though.
TWITTER
* Twitteriftic?
* You can now opt to set up Twitter options from within the Rift client. This is optional to use and also optional for automatic achievement tweets.
* Access Twitter options under Settings -> Interface.
* You'll need to specify account info and log in to send tweets or post screenshots.
* Additional options include hiding the UI (including character name) for screenshots, and turning on the functionality to auto-tweet Achievements. Note: if you have the UI hidden, the achievement popup will not appear in Achievement screenshots.
* You can specify a prefix and suffix to automatically append on tweets. Defaults are your current character name for prefix, and #rift for suffix.
* To tweet some text, use the command /tweet followed by text in the chat console.
* To tweet a screenshot, use the command /tweetpic followed by optional text. This will snap a screenshot and upload it to yfrog.com, and tweet the link along with any text entered.
* Screenshot posts do not currently work with Low Quality Renderer mode.
* If you attempt to use either of these commands and have not set up Twitter login, you will be prompted with the login box.
MAIL
* You cannot delete mail with attachments until all attachments have been removed.
* You will no longer be prompted to pay CoD mail charges for each item removed, only once per message.
LOOTING
* We now show up to 4 need/greed loot windows at once instead of one at a time, when multiple drops are waiting.
* Fixed more general issues with people not getting chances to roll on loot appropriately.
ASCENDED POWERS
* You should be able to upgrade a quest hub wardstone when PvP auto-flagging is turned off.
* The main planar merchants in Sanctum and Meridian now sell an Ascended Power that lets you summon a Soul Healer for 3 planar charges.
* Fixed the Invasion summon ability appearing under the General ability page instead of the Ascended Powers tab.
GUILD PERKS
* Banners: The following Guild Banners have been removed: Stalwart Banner, Skirmisher’s Banner, Defender’s Banner, Field Medic Banner, Rift Energy Banner, General’s Banner. Six new banners have been added to replace them.
