Is there some utility here other than a full screen toast? I'm wondering if it's a way to tell players when they've increased their blood shard cap? These are both great questions. Since this feature wasn't included in the current PTR patch notes, I can see how it may have caused some confusion. The screen congratulating you for achieving a new personal best in Greater Rifts which now appears on the PTR for patch 2.2.0 is part of our goal of celebrating players' individual achievements better. Wyatt actually touched on this goal a bit in our last Tavern Talk, when he spoke about players comparing their progress to those on the Leaderboards rather than their own previous personal bests. Aside from recognizing new personal bests in Greater Rifts with a pop-up notification (or "toast" as we call them), we're also increasing your Blood Shard cap by 10 for each Greater Rift level you complete. Ideally, this should make achieving new personal bests while climbing up in Greater Rift level feel more satisfying, regardless of whether or where you stack up on the Leaderboards. While it can be fun to compete on the Leaderboards, at the end of the day, it's also important to us (as it is to all of you) to celebrate your personal achievements, too! Doing better than you did before deserves some fanfare, even if just a little. :) Also, as a side note for those reading along, we're aware there's a bug that's causing the “close all windows†hotkey to close the Greater Rift completion screen as well, and we hope to have this fixed in the near future. | ||

The window is huge yet there no info at all on it. Either get back to the old window, or add more info (ex : damage done in the Grift, number of deaths, time taken to kill the RG...these would be far more usefull than a huge useless window) Great feedback! Wyatt actually explained (via Twitter) that we might add this kind of info to the new Greater Rift completion screen. He even clarified later on r/Diablo that we might also include your current personal best for the Greater Rift level you're doing and how this time compares to those of your friends or clan mates. We might even include your total distance traveled, skills you used, whether you got survival bonuses, and so on. | ||

They could call it Rift Guardian Hit Point Depletion Achieved By You Hitting It With Stuff Such As Spells And Bash Or Even Legendary Or Set Item Bonuses Per Second. Or to keep it simple: RGHPDABYHIWSSASABOELOSIBPS. Ah, this is such an easy-to-understand acronym! I can immediately figure out what it means just by looking at it, and it's easy to pronounce, too. ;) All joking aside, we would love to hear ideas from you all about what kinds of personal achievements you all want to know about. Your best completion time for a particular Greater Rift level is an obvious one, but what other kinds of new personal bests would you like to be informed about, in Greater Rifts or elsewhere in the game? | ||
