The rift is still too grindy

Let me explain it in the manner of fun

If you run out of challenges to do and still have tiers left to get, its gonna be stupidly boring and you will have no fun at all getting the rest as it feels like a grind fest. If you have a long challenge and difficult, but not too difficult, you could have fun and have, in a manner, less tier to get whilst having challenges left to have fun with.

This sounds like I completely changed it, but this is aiming towards the fun side of having long, not stressful challenges

Nah, I'm right there with you. Did the same thing and I'm at tier 65 with about 6 challenges left to go. Also this is the first game I've ever bought a battle pass in and frankly I thought it was pretty damn cool.

I was actually unaware of the people throwing matches, I only did it in a manner while doing the EGC sacrifices with NoEd, which was me letting survivors get all gens before slugging 2 of them

So long as you are surviving and playing decently you'll last long enough to make a decent amount of rift fragments. People have always played poorly and farmed each other on hook, or played immersive, this isn't something new and it isn't an accurate criticism against the battle pass.

You say you are "trying" and that it is grindy, but I honestly have no idea what you are talking about from my own experience. Just playing the game and doing the challenges appears to be enough. What Tier are you at right now?

FoMo (Fear of missing out) is a you issue. It is not something you can use to put down a system or show that the system is somehow "bad". If you care so much about the cosmetics and charms then do something about it. If you can't meet the requirements to complete the rift then that is too bad, you don't deserve these things just because you want them.

Sure, most of it is behind a pay wall but if you complete the rift you actually make your cells back, which leads me to my next point:

BHVR is not here just to hand you things. They are a company selling a product. Sure you had to pay for the game, but there is nothing in the rift that gives you an advantage. It is all optional cosmetics. And optional things in this game are already being sold for real money. At least with the rift, if you finish it, you make all your cells back which you can then use on the next rift and, probably, make your cells back again and just keep going having paid for all the cosmetics and charms you unlock once.

It is and was marketed as free to play and completely optional. The rift is purely for cosmetic rewards. The lore and challenges are completely free and not capped to a time limit.

And it's not needlessly bloated with auric cells. If you complete the rift you get all your cells back so it's free ( it's called incentive). And again your complaining about money grab but your mad they give you money back lol.

And if you can't complete 70 levels in 70 days it's pretty bad. You get enough XP in a couple matches to get 1 level.

could the rift have gotten even grindier? when i finished my challenges in the first rift i was level 65. ive finished my challenges in rift four and am only level 55.

I wish there wasn't much of a grind. Even after completing all of the challenges I still lag behind the tome. It would be better if the devs added some rift fragments to the daily challenges like maybe 1 or 2.

Yes, its aimed at children who spend all evening in front of pc. We have 18+ and extreme violence tag, but pls dont mind it. Violence is ok. :^)
