Rift grind, what are the devs and managers thinking?
Hello, this summer went on vacation and took little a break from the game (around 3 weeks). My rift pass level was 45 before going on vacation . Now that i am back and wanted to resume things, rift levels dont look like progressing much after several matches, so i did some calculations and:
22 days to end, but rift fragments from ALL daily quests and ALL weekly quests would get me only to level 88.
I am not taking into account milestones, since their rewards are a joke now and require a ridiculous amount of time. Also noticed that you need to do 20 MATCHES to earn ONE SINGLE RIFT PASS LEVEL. Being optimistic, i would end at level ~93 considering the two above. Then what? Do i have to play an extra of 140 matches to complete the pass?
What is this insanity?
I consider myself a completionist and did every rift pass since the beggining, bought every new killer/surv and have most of the achievements (and a lot of hours) because i enjoy this game a lot. My actual problem comes after learning the changes with this rift system, which make it beyond abusive and is a punch in the face to working people that cant (and shouldnt) log in to play every day: i already have a job…
With this in mind i am considering full quitting and engaging with this game.
Trying to force people to play every day to boost stats is going to have the opposite effect, i think.
End of rant.

Yeah, I have no idea who thought it's good idea to change it like this.
Like it was enough rewards are trash, it's also harder to get…So far I would say quest system is massive downgrade.

Yeah, exactly. I had basically same when they reduced cakes for anniversary…
Things like this are simply going to demotivate me from playing.10 -
The 5000 BP per level you get after completing the pass is a HILARIOUSLY low amount. If you average it out over each match, that's gotta be like < a 1% bonus.

Yeah the rift fragments per account level is my main gripe, please increase that. The Milestones now I've had time with them don't do enough.
5 per account level is attrocious, thats like 20 levels for 1 tier.5 -
It's obviously a ploy to force you to buy the rift pass bundle. It's just a way to squeeze more money out of people. Either that or you are forced to play every day.

Solutions:
- Add a Tome style quest every week, that is worth a 100-150 Rift Fragments.
- Buff back the Milestone rewards.
- Returm back Milestone difficulty to what it was in Rift: Overgrowth.
- Double the passive Rift Fragment rewards.

- I doubt they will do that since they stopped with the old tomes, but who knows
- and 3. My guess is a middle ground, its BHVR you know, was a decent progress, thats too much for us peasants lol
4. I hope, it's really bad atm

Yeah I bought my very first rift pass and figured I could level the pass up just by playing..but apparently you get really garbage shards for leveling... And I'm not doing quests like I'm not a dog who is gonna jump through hoops I've never done a tome a I have never clicked the quest or tome section other then to see I clearly hate it.
I'm not here to play an MMORPG with nonsensical kill 7 rat quests I'm going to play dbd but it's very clear I won't be completing the rift by just playing even every day! Which I don't necessarily have a problem with but that will be my first and last rift purchase. Maybe I'm extreme in my views as I've never played a game with a "pass" before so don't really no the norms.

How is everyone doing with the millstones since the buff in requirements? Last one I got all with the exception of two and I got to 8 & 9 on those two. This time around I haven't even reached level 5 on any of them. Sure I've played a little less this time around but not by that much!

I finished survivor milestones by playing 2v8 a lot but killer milestones are way too grindy i'm not even trying, also I hate kicking gens the "damage generator" one is barely progressing, I finished rift anyway the milestones are pointless

I agree. I did every rift in the last years and I never had to play every day to complete them. Now, if I dont do my dailys, I will never finish this pass. I dont want to HAVE to play, its making me want to quit dbd after this rift. PLEASE augment the rift fragment per game and the milestone reward.
