RIFT Bug Reports

We greatly appreciate when players take the time to report bugs to us. If you are reporting a bug that does not require customer support assistance, please follow the steps below to make sure your report gets sent to the correct place.
 
1. Type /cs and press enter or click on the ? icon located in the lower left hand corner of your screen.
 
2. Click on the Feedback/Bugs tab at the bottom of the dialog box which opens up.
 
3. Select the category which most closely relates to the issue or feedback you have. 
 
4. Write a detailed description in the appropriate boxes (for bugs, only the "Found a Bug?" box is needed). 
  • Time: When did this issue occur? Please be as specific as possible. If it happens repeatedly at all times, please include that information as well.
  • Game Details: What are the name(s) of any involved quest/achievement/item? Please attempt to provide exact names as shown in-game. What location did this issue occur exactly? Please be as specific as possible. What shard did this occur on? You can type /shard to see what shard your character is on at the moment.
  • Character Details: What level is your character? What class is your character? What faction is your character? What race is your character?
  • Expected Outcome: In one sentence, what did you expect to happen? For example "I collected all the upgrade materials and clicked upgrade and the item was upgraded"
  • Observed Outcome: In one sentence, what actually happened?
  • Repro Steps: Most importantly, if possible, please include a list of specific steps we can take to reproduce this issue on our end. These steps need to be something we can reproduce on a new character, not isolated to your character only.
  • Image/Video Documentation: Often the most useful information we can get for bugs will be screenshots or video documentation of the bug occurring. These can be uploaded to 3rd party websites (youtube/imgur) and you just have to include the link to them
 
5. Left-click the [SEND] button when you are finished. 
 
6. Keep in mind that even though your report will be reviewed, it will not receive a direct development team response. However, any changes made in regards to bug reports will be listed in the RIFT patch notes.
 
Example Bug Report:
  • Time: Wednesday, December 14th, at 3:30 PM GMT
  • Context: I killed an invasion in Vostigar Peaks on Deepwood and my home shard is Faeblight. I am level 70 and was not mentored.
  • Expected: I expected the invasion to advance my Wand of the Powerful active upgrade and provide rewards
  • Observed: Instead, I only received a small amount of currency and my active was not advanced
  • Repro Steps:
    • 1. Go to Vostigar Peaks 
    • 2. Make sure you have item with an active upgrade that requires killing invasions
    • 3. Kill invasions until you complete one that you do not get credit for
