One Shots: Charge!
What's a poor Dwarf to do when an absolutely enormous rift opens up nearby? Gather up all the magical firepower he can and head right for it! Today's RIFT screenshot sent in to us by Stuxatte shows off a group of NPCs putting their heads together just before a giant water rift descended on the area. Being a helpful sort, Stuxatte decided to lend a hand to face the oncoming nastiness, and he writes in: "I was trekking through the Moonshade Highlands and I came across a band of local Dwarves doing battle with an Abyssal invader from the Plane of Water. Just before I stopped to help them out, I took this screenshot of the scene, which I think captures the lush and brooding feel of the zone." Next week we'll be introducing theme weeks to One Shots, kicking things off in the most logical place: starting zones! If you'd like to help us out with One Shots, then send a screenshot of what you think is the best starting zone in any game to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the thanks! %Gallery-112285%
Exclusive Rift dev diary unveils the lives and times of Dwarves
They may be short and extraordinarily hairy, but across all fantasy realms, Dwarves have built a reputation as a hardworking race, masters of both ale and craftsmanship. In Rift: Planes of Telara, the Dwarves are a fallen race, even though it was by their hands that the great cities were built. In this exclusive dev diary, Trion Worlds lays out the foundation for the stocky, proud race from the beginning of time up to the start of the game's events. Hit the jump to discover how Rift's dwarves aren't just a stereotype, but a rich and complex people to whom the world owes a great debt.
