Rift
New content day! I was actually pretty excited about this update for Rift, so I logged in and started hamdogging around. I instantly jumped into the main event, the dungeon that allows you to unlock the new planar attunement, which allows you to get new abilities and buffs after level 50. It's basically a big butt parade, as you march around Meridian while everyone is shouting their compliments to you, and then some bad guys show up, because of course they do. So you have to kill a bunch of monsters all by yourself, and then there's cake. This wasn't too bad except the big boss fight, which is a legitimate raid level boss, with all the powers, and you gotta kill him all by yourself. It was bananas, especially because I had to keep moving, otherwise this nonsense exploding mine would follow me and kill it. And it spiked my video card whenever it went off too. But eventually that asshole died (after it killed me five times) and now I'm attuned. And lord knows whenever I'll get my next jump on the HUGE attunement table, because you only get points every 500,000 experience points. That's a lot.
I also managed to make my brand new shoulderpads, mainly because they adjusted the way currencies work. Now there is only one type of currency to buy all high-level crafting recipes, instead of being divided by profession. So now I can get two plaques a week instead of one, and invest heavily in the lucrative leather industry. They also added some more quests to make it a lot easier to buy high-quality planar gear, adjusting it so there's only one main level 50 currency, so those things that cost 50 tokens that I was getting one of once a week, maybe, will finally be available. They also added some nice little "hey, here's some more shit you can do" information quests, which is nice.
