Episode 21: Face-Off

Matt & Joe are back, along with Khellendros, this week. We discuss if Guild Wars 2 could have an impact on RIFT subscriptions and if this week's Play-RIFT-Free promotion could be a direct response to the most recent GW2 beta weekend. Can we go at least one episode without mentioning Conquest? It's possible but not this week. We revisit our feelings regarding the most recent changes to the Conquest reward system and touch on some ideas for balancing PvP stats, such as crit and avoidance. Also, this week, what ever happened to those awesome World Events we used to look forward to?

Episode 20 [Community Voice]: Conquest... Again?

This, our second week of live recording, we are joined by Amanatin & Betowulf of US Guild, Tabula Rasa.  We get to know Tabula Rasa and move on to discuss Conquest... again.  We want to say this is the last time we'll have to discuss Conquest but the feature appears to be ever changing.  Are the latest changes to PvE focused?  Trion also confirms that there will be no rollback.  The controversy surrounding Conquest leads to even deeper discussion about RIFT PvP and the state of the game.

Episode 19: Double Negative

This week we discuss: the latest issues plaguing Conquest, the EU server merge and if we could see one for US soon, review the newest Instant Adventures, reinforce our request for an in-game help index of sorts, and discuss the pros and cons to an Armory (player database) feature.  Also, Joe has chosen to get involved in PvP and talks about his experiences thus far.  Much to Matt's surprise, Joe is greatly enjoying instanced PvP.  This week is also our first time recording live on twitch.tv/riftovercast.  Future recordings will also be live so be sure to follow the twitch.tv channel and our Twitter for updates on the live schedules!
