While the Beta-Testers have a break, Trion Worlds is working on improvements for Rift’s latest Alpha Builds. Alpha Build “24-11-A” and “24-12-B” were released in the last Days and bring some minor updates. But the most important advance must be the integration of the antialiasing system. Maybe the antialiasing will be available on the next Beta-Test too.

•Antialiasing is now an option under Advanced Video Settings. This reduces the ‘jaggies’ along the outlines of objects by using an edge-smoothing technique.
•Improved antialiasing to behave better with trees and other similar objects.
•Fixed the streaming graphic brokenness after death with antialiasing turned on.

SILVERWOOD
* Reduced Overwatch Keep population density.

STONEFIELD
* Added more mailboxes to Camp Fergos.
* Quarrying the Quarry: Magmite should spawn in a larger radius, be larger in size, and available for more time when spawned.

PVP/WARFRONTS
* Warfronts now prefer to place pre-made groups against each other when parties are queued on both sides.

* Turning on auto-attack will no longer flag you for PvP if you are too far away to actually hit your target.

* With the exception of certain ranks of Healing and Mana potions, all previously crafted Apothecary items will still be available in game. Go ahead and use them up, since they will be removed in a future patch.

GRAPHICS AND AUDIO
* Antialiasing is now an option under Advanced Video Settings. This reduces the ‘jaggies’ along the outlines of objects by using an edge-smoothing technique.

* Fixed a bug where weapons would sometimes disappear after a polymorph.

* Fixed default Pet Bar keybinds so they start with Attack bound to ctrl-0.

* Fixed a bug that caused the pet healthbar to not correctly update when summoning a new pet.
* If a quest requires you to kill a type of creature within a specific area or zone (such as Rift repeatable quests), the mob tooltip now indicates that the creature counts if in the proper area.
