RIFT: Planes Of Telara – Closed Beta Screenshots – Part 3
We all know what RIFT is about, don’t think i have to repeat it all over again. And today’s Closed Beta 5 is going online (at least, for me it’s “today”, around 18:00 or so). And considering a lack of new posts last week i thought I’d share my screenshots from Beta 4, so here they are: the Defiant races and lots and lots of Gloamwood – the second area that was available for Guardians during the beta – plus new mount, new stuff and a character, turned into a werewolf… Be careful, it’s a HUGE pile of screens! Also, if you haven’t seen previous batches of RIFT Beta screenshots, here are Part 1 and Part 2. And if you’re curious, how to buy RIFT: Planes of Telara in a specific currency, here is how.
Defiant races. I did not played much as a Defiant, because i wanted to leave something new to discover for when I’ll start playing RIFT after the release.
Gloamwood in all it’s… gloom :) Rifts opening in Gloamwood make quite an impression, as well as monsters that inhabit it.
Gloamwood is full of werewolves, and you have to solve a terrible mystery of their origin… don’t want to spoil anything, but when you save the day, you get the firework.

As you can see on the first screenshot here, UI is fully customizable, like in Lord of the Rings Online. And next 3 screenshots are what i was able to see on a border to the next zone – it’s impossible to go past the “glass wall”, but it’s possible to see the land for some length.
During the beta new mounts were available for the players. The last screenshot shows game map as of Beta 4 stage. Also – at some point during your questing you’re turned into a werewolf yourself, and every NPC gets hostile!
