Auto Follow being removed.?

Drinks with Devs - Great Fun

I attended the Drinks with Developers event and I had a blast. The team were great to hang out with and very approachable. Talking with them I learned a lot about a number upcoming changes that are on the table - not sure if I was supposed to hear all of them.

Just a few of the nuggets I picked up. Many of these are "on the list" and not necessarily imminent:

• Auto-follow will be disabled in warfronts
  Warlord is getting a snare ability
  Riftblade Synergy with Tempest will be getting a nerf
  New intra-dimensional travel items are coming
  Cross shard might soon become at will (though the effects are still being debated.)

There were more but I wasn't taking notes.

I learned a lot of insider jokes about things that were infamously broken - including the famous flying spider mount, the Ebb of the Tidelord achievement, and the ability to leave a warfront and still score kills with Wrathful Exuberance.

We also talked about our S.H.O.E. collections - and joked about an achievement/title for collecting them.

New L60 remade dungeons are coming for some old world content and are currently in QA. Looking forward to the new Realm of the Fae.

Daglar even brought up an idea of upgrade components to bring old world raid drops up to L60 spec - something we -might- have to look forward to.

I made out with a ton of swag too - a store display. concept art, a signed Collector's Edition Storm Legion copy, a T-Shirt, and some credits.

All in all it was a great event surrounded by good people - much fun.

Sounds a lot like the WoW battleground follow nerf. The title of your post is a little misleading

aha my bad missed the warfronts off it

Would be another blow to the boxing community since RIFT is the Best MMO out right now compared to WOW. I hope all the new MMOs don't jump on the WOW bandwagon and block boxers in regular game play or PVP.

multiboxing is done for. a lot moved to rift and kids just don't like getting "owned" by us.


i had a few good years shame to see it dieing off more and more.


i can see new games just not adding follow in them, EG: elder scrolls online

Honestly trying to five box warfronts is annoying anyway since the queue goes forever and then the game starts when it is just 5v5. I had been planning to try a defiant team with the mage spec that I loved playing solo two years ago just for the pvp but now I don't think I'll bother.

Why do they call it Auto-Follow and not just Follow? Sounds like they are removing the ability to macro it from BGs and make you type it in.

I really hope that this is not a for sure change.

They took it out of WF and CQ tonight, respond to this thread to let them know how you feel about this: http://forums.riftgame.com/general-d...-conquest.html

Seen it coming, especially since all the PVP boxers left WOW for RIFT. This will more than likely happen to the next game that all the PVP boxers migrate to after this becomes permanent.
