Hartsman Reflects on Rift's 1st Huge In-Game Event

Trion Worlds CCO and Rift Executive Producer Scott Hartsman has written a letter to the game's community discussing the second closed beta event and looking ahead toward the third beta event. The bulk of the letter focuses on Trion's first truly massive in-game event that was held during closed beta #2 and included 573 level 8-20 Guardian players, dozens of rifts, invasions, bosses, and gameplay objectives. Hartsman promised that this is just a preview of more in-game events, both large and small, that Trion has planned for players.

As far as the third closed beta event is concerned, "expect to see all of the souls available to choose from the outset, more souls available earlier in the experience, and more total points to spend." Trion also plans to add a soul preview system by the third beta, as well as the abililty to name your pets. For more details, check out Hartsman's entire letter over at Rift Podcast.

That event was amazing. It was total chaos and so fun to participate in. You looked around and everywhere you looked was your death staring back. Was great!

This surely must have been amazing thing! I just hope I'll get in 3rd beta phase, and also get to experience such huge scale event. It must be an amazing feeling to be inside all this chaos, all this destruction around, just like beginning of the end!
Final Event

The final event of the beta was absolutely a blast. The sheer chaos of such a massive invasion, including Greenscale himself coming down and parking his big dragon butt right in front of Sanctum, was just absolutely amazing. Out of the games I've played, I can't say I've participated in an event with the overwhelming feeling that there is absolutely nothing you could do to stop it. I'm sure levels would have helped, but with the cap at 20 there wasn't much to be done.
