greater rift reward feedback(1)Category: PTR FeedbackJune-27-2014 7:17 AM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
the greater rift is a great idea. kudos to the team.
what i like.
1) not worrying about picking up gold,gems, while playing. just rushing to kill as fast as possible.

2) I like the idea that as you progress your not running the same build every rift. for early levels you run fast builds while higher level rifts you change to survival.

now the feedback of what seems not quite right.

obviously it has been mentioned that furnace becomes a must at higher levels. and a few other things that players have noticed are in other threads.
what I am focusing on is the reward system for these greater rifts.
the bad.

1) you get practically the same experience gold and blood shards on every tier rift guardian. you get the same gold and experience for closing the rift no matter what level it is. obviously this needs to be adjusted.

2) at the end guardian all the loot is dropped. this can be viewed as a plus in a way because you don't have to worry about picking everything up. but at the end of the rift guardian i look in my inventory and see 4 gold items,8 gems and 6 dust.....really???? thats it? out of 5 rift guardians i have seen only 1 legendary drop. I'm sorry but this game is ALL about reward.

3) this goes along with my second point. if every bit of loot only drops from one boss at the end, then that boss needs a mandatory legendary item. or perhaps 2 at level 15. 3 mandatory legendarys at lvl 30. something needs to scale so that we feel rewarded.

to sum it up. you guys did a great job with this idea! it is fun. I think balancing the reward system will make this one of the most popular experiences in Diablo.

one idea I'd suggest though is, all the drops at the end for the most part is nice, but what if legendarys were still able to drop from the packs? it would still make the rifts fast and focused on time but at the same time would alleviate the disappointment of clearing a rift just to see no beam. we are addicted to the beam. must see more beam.
