Totem missions are a scam

Cleansing 15 totems for 3 Rift fragments feels like a scam if you ask me. The amount of time and the number of games that are required to cleanse this many totems is in no way worthy of merely 3 fragments. That number should be increased to 5 at least.

    It's nowhere near as bad as the red glyph challenges.

    The entire rift and battlepass are a scam.

    Just do them when you can for extra BP. You have like 2 weeks to do each level there is no rush. And even if you didn't you can just ignore battlepass and just do the rift quests on your on time. I am still doing quests from Tome 2.

    There is nothing good on the battlepass and there is no reason to do the Rifts at all actually. I just do rift quests, leave the BP unclaimed, then use it all up when a new killer and survivor are released so I get a leg up on levelling them up. 1M BP bloodcap is lame. Rift is my way of circumventing it.

    Yeah totem challenges are rough, especially that many. I feel bad for teammates when a lot fo challenges actively screw over your team like that, the glyphs, or saboing hooks. I would like them to rethink the challenges. A lot of the killer ones are similarly bad as well.

    Disagree, I've yet to have any red glyph not be found within one trial, so the "find 4 glyphs" is easily done in 4 trials.

    Whereas the 15 totem one would take 3 games at best, but it's very unlikely you can get 5 totems in one trial without someone else doing a totem, or you getting hooked/dying. I think I was averaging 2-3 totems a game so this challenge ended up taking me over 5 games.

    About 3-6 games I'd say, most people dont actually get the totems. Besides it's not that far out there as some challenges physically take 4 odd more games. A great example is the red glyph which is 5 games minimum.... BUT you dont have to rush challenges, if you're trying to just grind the challenges instead of playing the game mostly normally and seeing the challenges as secondary then that's why it's a grind. Sure use a map, or a perk but you dont just need to focus on totems, you have this level for 2weeks odd

    Tbh, every game you play for the challenge, also give you rift xp, so I don't get what you're complaining about. In my eyes, its a good challenge because you do bones to prevent NOED and you get rift xp and you get bp per totem and you get 3 fragments and bp when done.

    Even doing all missions won't give enough fragments to get close to lv70, you'd still need to grind enough exp worthy of an entire dedication level just to reach that point. That's simply obscene.

    Granted this is my first rift but you can do all the challenges and get it pretty easily imo. I did all of the first challenges and some of these ones and have played a decent bit (not a crazy amount) and am at about 27 already and we just finished a quarter of rift time. It seems definetly doable to me. I've had many days I dont play and a lot of days I dont play much (with the odd day I'm on for a few hours)

    Even completing half the rift is worth the 1000 auric calls in comparison to just buying the cosmetics. Also the longer challenges to take stops the idea you're just playing for fragments but this you'll like ITS RUMOURED that the next time will have 5 LEVELS and FRAGMENTS WILL REQUIRE 400-600EXP instead of 800.... that's reduce the ground and make the rift easy as hell. For the most part though play 2 hours a day, at least 1 killer and 1 survivor during that 2 hours you'll do the rift easy providing you do the challenges

    You might need 2 hours of gameplay to gather enough daily exp but you'd still need 4 hours just to make that happen since queue times and other things outside of the metagame itself do occur.

    probably, or you're playing with rank 20s, one or the other
