The 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game from Trion Worlds is getting a massive patch, and we have all the details, right down below.

Rift's Assistant Community Manager James "Elrar" Nichols has posted the Alpha patch notes for the upcoming 1.1 update over at the games official forums. It includes a handful of gameplay changes and enhancements to further improve the game.

Some of the highlights of the upcoming update includes:

FEATURED

• The Endless Court Event? Yeah, they're all up in your Telara, killing your mans. Not cool.
• You can now report AFK teammates in a Warfront. Check out PVP/WARFONTS for more.
• The 'I'm Stuck' button or falling through the world in a Warfront no longer results in a Deserter debuff!
• Rift events no longer track player contribution against other players. See below under RIFTS AND INVASIONS for more details.
• Many quest fixes below under individual ZONES.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY

• All artifact nodes now have a consistent 1.5 second gathering time.
• You can now accept a quest on behalf of your guild even if your personal quest log is full.
• Angelic Flight and Mighty Leap will not interrupt movement when used (auto-run or holding down a movement key).
• Server Announcements now stay on-screen for twice as long.
• Exposed now reduces movement speed by 6% per stack, rather than increasing damage taken.
• New fancy appearances are in progress for the Epic Namjok, Yarnosaur, and Vaiyuu mounts.
• Fix for quickly opening a series of clickable loot (such as geodes for gems) with auto-loot that would occasionally result in lost items.

RIFTS AND INVASIONS

• Rift events no longer track player contribution against other players. You are checked for participation in the event and given rewards appropriately. It's still important to participate in as many stages of a Rift or event as possible to receive the best rewards.
• Tweaked cooldown times between zone events.

• Planar Charges are no longer consumed immediately when starting to cast an ability. They are consumed when the effect actually takes place -- no more wasted charges on an interrupted cast.

CULT SAGA

• Epic quests now award Achievements and titles at key advancement points. These are granted retroactively so if you already completed portions (or all!) of the epic questline, you will receive these on login.

GUILD PERKS

• Killing Spree and Blood Thirsty use the proper perk tokens now.
• The following perks will now properly show the description/tooltip values associated with them: Lucky Penny, Call of the Ascended, Journeyman, Foe Hunter, Cache Finder, and Rift Extraction.
• Journeyman no longer always shows in the buff bar.
• Keep in mind though that these are still Alpha notes and subject to change before final release goes live.
