RIFT opens up patch 4.2 on the test servers

[AL:Rift]The 4.2 patch for RIFT (Celestial Storm if you’re on a first-name basis with patches) is heading to the live servers on July 19th. But what if you want to get a peek at class balance changes and a new area before then? You’re in luck, as the patch dropped on to the test server rather unexpectedly yesterday evening.

This patch adds in four new souls for the Primalist, the normal mode for Tartaric Rifts, new raid rifts, new creatures, and the new Vostigar Peaks region. It also involves lots of balance changes, which the team has helpfully compiled for players to examine and offer feedback on. There’s not much time before the patch is supposed to hit the live servers, so you’d probably better get into the test client and start testing sooner rather than later if you want your feedback in the mix.
