The good:

- putting all the loot at the end is AWESOME! improves the pace of game immensely. You really should implement this for normal rifts as well.

- Leaderboards. Finally some ranking! Love it.

The Needs fixing:

- the loot at the end of the rift needs less yellows and blues and should instead drop stacks of like 10-100 crystal/dust crafting mats (based on rift lvl. Greater rifts are end game, give us end game rewards.

- Gear breaking. once you die one too many times and your gear breaks you are stuck in the rift with no options to leave or fix your gear. There is already the timer which acts as a barrier.. no need to have your gear break. I suggest not having gear loose durability in rift or at least boot players out of the rift as soon as the timer expires so we are not forced to leave the game.

- op monster afix at higher rift lvl. I noticed that afix like jailer become very op at higher rift lvl. Instant unavoidable damage needs to be scaled back or changed to some % of your characters max life.

- ranking for lower rift lvl . would be cool and introduce a whole new lvl of competition if there was also a ranking of who can do a lvl 1 rift the fastest. It would require a whole different build and gear and would introduce a lot of variety.

- too much randomness. Monster type. rift densitiy. pylons.. all these variables still play way to much of a factor. Suggest you remove pylons completely or have one of each in every rift. I still think have the exact same rift for all players would be a cool idea.

- Class balance. Seems dh and monk are very op atm. Wiz def needs love.

Just wanted to drop in and post some feedback Wyatt Cheng posted over night in regards to the iteration process of the Greater Rifts. The current version of them on the PTR is an early pass, so please try to keep that in mind when providing feedback on them :-)

Hi!

The reward scheme for Greater Rifts is still under heavy iteration at this time. We are primarily concerned with the gameplay mechanics: acquiring a key, progressing through the rifts, difficulty tuning, multiplayer dyanmics, etc.

The reward needs to be proportional to the effort and time invested. With the mechanics of Rifts changing this is a moving target. In the next PTR patch you'll see more of the Legendary Gem reward mechanics implemented. The PTR patch after that we'll start dialing in the reward structure.

Please feel free to give feedback on what you see, but please know we are aware that the reward is off right now. Our goal is for Greater Rifts to be absolutely worth doing, and you should always be trying to clearly quickly towards the highest tiered rift you are capable of - but we're not there yet.

Thanks for all the feedback we've received on the reward scheme and I look forward to more feedback as the rest of the reward scheme gets implemented over the coming PTR patches.


Great feedback has been posting in this thread so far, so thanks a ton for that, we look forward to reading more feedback as development continues :-)
