The rift is too grindy

Won't we get the rest of the challanges before the 70 day mark?

I would expect it to boost the progress speed that way.

Its way to grindy, I assumed Tome 2,3,4 had higher Rift token rewards for completing the quests/challenges. But after it bugging out and showing me Tome challenges for #4 I can confirm that the rewards are only 5 tokens and 60,000 BP so the dev's need to fix this by a fair margin. 30% reduction at minimum. I think I have farmed over 8million BP since the release and I am only level 22 or 23. Feels bad :(

They always do that.

Last year, when we needed those vials of serum to unlock stuff... That was when I was TOTALLY into the game, playing EVERY DAY, sometimes up to 6 hours.

I got less than HALF of what the ultimate goal was.

I was astonished. To get all those vials, you'd have to play 12-14 hours a day, EVERY DAY as long as the event lasted.

Who can do that?

All events should require NO more than 5-6 matches per day.

If someone finishes early, good for them. But you shouldn't be encouraging people to spend more than 2-3 hours a day playing ANYWAY.

So, if events require more than that, you're essentially PROMOTING people playing excessively.

He's referring to the rift, not the tome.

It's fine..the whole game is grindy. I'm happy to be earning more frequent rewards.

To each their own i guess...

I don’t see how that affect what I said. And also I think it’s not true? From my understanding the rift levels with those blue shards and you get them with exp, so it’s possible to complete the rift by simply playing the game without doing any challenges... am I wrong? I did the chapter 1 Tome, then kept leveling the rift up just playing the game.

Ya'll need some cheese with all that whine?

6-7 games is DEFINITELY not an hour. Each game can last anywhere from 10-20 minutes, 6-7 games would be closer to an hour and a half-ish, NOT counting absurdly long matchmaking, picking items, loading screens, etc.

Unpopular opinion, I won't have a massive problem with tome 4, I'm confident in my killer and Survivor ability to pull them off at some point. Just searched 5 chests in the first couple of minutes in one match, I am unstoppable.

There's a wee bit of a difference between looting chests and getting 2 flashlight saves in one match...

A lot of people have completed the firat tome - its the easiest. what were talking about here is whats to come andd how unlikely it is for most to complete the rift...

Welcome to the joyous land of battlepasses!

Now being hammered into every game I bother playing, won't stay that way for long! Fun times to be had!

Ive actually seen some streamers who already have over half of it done, lol.

I got to rank 1 while completing the challenges

Wish I had your queues then. If I pick killer an hour might be two games, depending on the queue time. If I pick survivor, and we assume theyre each exactly 10m games, then 6 games is going to be about an hour and a half.

The devs have to eat. On a game that's $30 usd. $143.83 usd if you purchase the DLC. Excluding any cosmetics you might buy while in game. I think youre confusing this for a free to play game who uses battle passes as a way to collect revenue. ON THEIR FREE GAMES.

Same. Lots of afk killer's in low ranks just swinging every 5-10s. I sympathize with your brother, I had a LOT of time over an extended weekend and I'm at 16. I won't have this much time the rest of the time it's up. I didn't know the rift would be another part time job if I wanted to complete it :( The more I play the worse my time/payout ratio gets too. Queue times just keep getting longer and longer.

Guys, I already finished the Rift a couple days ago, it's so easy.

On a side not I am now short 70$ /s

But seriously, the Rift is so predatory it isn't even funny. It takes 800 XP for 1 shard, and you get hardcapped at around 500 XP per match. If there wasn't a hard cap and you could get 1 shard per match it would be so much better.if you could get 1 tier per 10 matches, but the devs want to wring us dry.

Welcome to life. I don't mean that to be mocking. The idea of paying your way through things is pervasive all around. Want to sit in the best seats at a concert? Pay an extra $1,000! Want to skip the line at an amusement park? Pay extra for a fast pass! Heck even pizza places now let you pay extra for "priority delivery."

Was just a joke, no one in their right mind would spend 70$ for the Rift. But honestly, does BHVR need to wring us out more? The game costs 20$, all the DLC including cosmetic packs but excluding Charity Case costs $96.84 plus tax if you don't want to add more grinding for Iridescent Shards, the Rift costs $10, including all the cosmetics in the store, with over half of them being available solely for Auric Cells. If you want everything that effects gameplay unlocked from the start it will cost you about $116.84 without tax. This is a tad bit ridiculous, you could get 2 fully fledged AAA game instead of buying everything in DBD. It gets even worse, with the cosmetics in the store that are only available for Auric Cells, their cost comes out to a whopping $993. JESUS. I got this number by converting every 100 Auric Cells into $1 and rounding accordingly, so you may get a slightly higher or lower number, but the fact that there are almost $1000 dollars worth of cosmetics that can only be bought with real money seems REALLY scummy and cash grabby.

That isn't the rift. That is the tome.

The rift is the battlepass.

I love it! It has a free track, gives me bonus blood points for side missions, and even more free stuff if I choose to unlock it. Also, I won't buy until the end so I can see exactly what I get. Anyone that gets manipulated by this system is going to have much bigger problems in life.... "FOMO" or "keeping up with the Jones" is a behavioral problem, not a BHVR problem.
