RIFT is a cool game, but even if you played in Betas there still could be some questions left like “how do i do that?..” about its interface: either way because RIFT GUI had been changed since Beta or because Trion used some uncommon ways in designing things. To resolve some of my questions i had to go to RIFT forums and do a search, so i decided to sum up my findings in one post for everyone to share. If you play RIFT – this is post is for you, because it gets RIFT interface questions resolved.
With pictures!
I know i had a post about Vanguard quests less than 24 hours ago, but i can’t want with this one. For the first time i have stumbled upon a Vanguard quest that appeared to be bugged to the point it being totally unsolvable, but i still was able to solve it thanks to Vanguard GM team. When i understood that “Peculiar Fragments” quest is bugged (you can’t gather the quest objective items, because they aren’t active as quest items at all), i dropped it – because, based on my previous experience with online games if something is bugged, that’s the end of the story – and wrote “Found a bug” petition. After 15 minutes (!) a GM materialized out of thin air and gave me those quest objective items. For the first time in my whole online gamer’s life a GM was so fast to respond, so i can’t just leave this case unnoticed. Thank you again, Vanguard GM Exerege! (more…)
This post is following Tips & Tricks On Solving Isle Of Dawn Quests post. I’m still playing Vanguard as I’m out of Isle of Dawn I’ll resume writing about quests that were hard to solve – the only thing that changes now is that i will publish separate posts for these quests, divided by areas – as i don’t know how often i will encounter such hard quests. This post is about rather nasty Vanguard quest in Halgarad area, Thestra continent – Blood and Seals and The Unfinished Mission. (more…)
Using mounts in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes might be a slight problem for the beginning players, because, as every other aspect of gameplay of Vanguard using mounts is slightly harder than in other MMOs that we’re used to. Even providing that Vanguard trial zone – the Isle of Dawn – is packed with the tutorial, it still may be not 100% clear or you may have forgotten, what it told you. Fear not, using mounts in Vanguard is not as hard as it seems, especially when you read this post! (more…)
This post is here to provide a quick tips on handling quests in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes starter/trial area called Isle of Dawn. This one is Part 2 of the initial post (it grew too big to upgrade each time) and holds mainly crafting quests. As i have started to play Vanguard over again with a fresh character, I’m trying to write about those quests that may raise a question on how to find a solution and what should you do in case if a miracle happened and you started playing Vanguard too. If you haven’t found a particular quest, chances are it’s been already covered in Part 1 here, because i write notes in order of progress. If i find something else to add, this post will either be upgraded or a link to a next one will be added. (more…)
This post is here to provide a quick tips on handling quests in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes starter/trial area called Isle of Dawn. Since the last big wiki for Vanguard quest and crafting (Vanguard Crafters) had been taken down (November, 2010) with all the information that Vanguard players had been gathering (– thanks to the site’s owner who refuses to provide anyone else with the wiki’s copy to host on our own) it is now up to the players to figure everything on their own. As i have started to play Vanguard over again with a fresh character, I’ll try to write about those that i had problems with: how i found a solution and what should you do in case if a miracle happened and you started playing Vanguard. If you do not see a particular quest here, chances are it’s being covered in Part 2 of this post. (more…)
This is a little tip to whoever else is pre-ordering RIFT: Planes of Telara now. As you may know, RIFT has 3 different prices: in Dollars, Euros and Pounds: $ 49.99 / € 49.99 / £ 34.99 (for Digital Standard Edition, for example). But when you try to buy RIFT, you’re not being offered to choose which currency you want to pay in, and when you have to subscribe after buying the same, they also don’t ask what currency you want to subscribe in – they just try to shove it up your… wallet, that’s it. I was offered to pay in Euros but wanted Dollars instead, so i contacted RIFT Support and now guess what did they said? “You will have to use Euros” because “we do not have the ability to change your billing currency”. WTF, how can’t they control their own system!? Well, the hell with dumb support, i did it for them and subscribed in Dollars, not Euros. If you need to do the same, you came to the right place.

A short tutorial video on how to set up a custom user interface in Lord of the Rings Online.
To see the text better open the video to full-screen mode.
This is my first video posted here. Sorry, no sound – i’m not sure my Russian accent would make my speech understandable for everyone. So I’ll just stick with notepad for now :) Maybe i should have added some music the background, what do you think, ladies and gentlemen?
Kitsu Saga is a new free to play “martial arts fantasy MMORPG” by X-Legend / Aeria Games that is currently in beta-testing (along with other Aeria projects). Currently i am testing it for myself, but the game certainly takes more time to decide what i am thinking about it than the last Aeria project i was looking into (Legendary Champions Review: First And Worst Impression). Some say it’s a clone of Grand Fantasia, but i as i haven’t played that game i have to first check it out too to decide… So, in the meantime – I know there are people playing this game and i thought it would be useful for everyone if i share a few Kitsu Saga tips and tricks for those who play it, right now, before i do a full review of it.
