I like Rift, but it could be better.

First, my biggest gripe with the introduction of the new IB rework is the Orewing’s Spirit triumph. It’s counterintuitive to a team-based game mode and encourages selfishly hunting the spark to dunk it yourself or aping the runner. As a wall titan who’s main purpose for my build is to take ground for the runner to advance, I’m never getting those dunks. I think it would be amazing to modify it so that kills within a radius of the well you’re attacking/defending count for progress. I have 9 points after two hours of IB. I read somewhere that it’s expected to take 15-20 hours to get the whole title. I will never get the achievement at this rate and I certainly can’t match a pace of 15-20 hours with the role I play for my team. To the next point, there was no opportunity to kill the runner for that triumph’s progress because every game ended 5-0. In freelance, there was no defense. The players on my team always seemed better than my opponent, I don’t know why. But yeah, 5-0 every game probably isn’t healthy in the long run. My best guess is that there’s a new ELO for IB that each player is building right now and the matchmaking will get better over time, but it does feel tough to either steamroll or be steamrolled yourself. Some public clarity here would be nice. This isn’t a long list, so finally, the respawn timer feels long at 7 (8?) seconds. If I and/or my teammates die, they win the round. It’s that easy. If three of us get caught in a super, we’re done. I get that being killed is expected to be punishing because it’s a strategical game mode, so I’m honestly 50/50 on this one. I LIKE THE GAME MODE AND ENJOYED MY TWO HOURS!! It was fun and it was nostalgic, I used to play Rift in D1 and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I just saw some rough around the edges and I REALLY want that triumph fixed so I can rep an Iron Lord title around the tower. Much love, An Aspiring Iron Lord

  • Enjoyed it but I think it should not be IB. You have zero control on if you get to pick up the spark so scoring is a bad parameter for pentacle. Maybe test spawn with the spark rotating all team players ea side and allow passing the spark?

  • The new version of Rift is terrible. It should even be called Rift. It should be let’s grab a ball dunk it then reset everyone. Old Rift you never reset back to your down area after dunking.
