Greater rift past 150

When will we be able to do greater rifts past 150 and level gems past 150? Just wondering because right now the 150 Grifts are done in 5 to 7 mins.

Greater Rift 150 are max at the moment… So are gems…

Daaamn you’re good, didn’t know you can solo a GR in 5 to 7 mins :roll_eyes:

Asks the guy with para 828 NS and gems in the 80s…

dump the competition in this aRPG so a whole new playerbase can pop up.

start with PvP and the vocal minority playerbase fills the forums.

No one has cleared a greater rift solo 150 yet, and as for you OP you have a long way to go to even get there. I don’t advice asking for a taller mountain when you are stuck in a creek at the base of it.

GR150 is a hard limit due to technical reasons. Monster HP cannot rise much further (GR158/159 is the technical max).

Source for this statement?

As I just wrote in another thread, the maximum GR technically possible will be around 160 or so. This comes from the fact that the RG life in a 4 player game reaches the 64-bit integer limit (‭18,446,744,073,709,551,615‬) after that point so either the monsters’ life would be capped or some new datatype must be implemented into the game (which would require a lot of coding).

Its a signed integer so its 2^63 or 9.2233 e18

So now we see our first needed use of quantum computer for D3!
Bring it on and maybe we can have 8 man games with no lag!!!

Lol hey guys my names Vlad my toons can probably barely scrap Gr100 but can you please increase GRcap from 150 to 200. Thanks.
Lol what a joker.
When you soloing 150 in 5 minutes come chat to us then and the forum / classic team might take you seriously

I do not think you are doing it with this. Link your non-NA profile.

That’s not how quantum computers will help! For basic arithmetical calculations, classical (i.e. normal) computers are still the best. The advantage of quantum computers comes from testing all possible states of some system (e.g. 100 qubits) and then collapsing the states to a valuable result.

One famous example is in factoring. In general, factoring a number is quite hard if the prime factors are large. Even the best algorithms using smart tricks are slow (e.g. number field sieves).

With a quantum computer, you can create setup where you can “test” all possible candidates in a clever way (finding the period of a modular equation) which can then be used to find a factor of a very large number quickly. For more information see Shor’s Algorithm.

Back to D3, there are no uses for quantum computations in D3 or any video game yet. The power of a quantum computer isn’t that it’s “faster”, there are just special algorithms that can take advantage of entangled states (e.g. period finding for a modular exponentiation problem), which basically are new code blocks that classical computers cannot do.

Classic computers can compute anything a quantum computer can, but it takes 2^N number of steps to emulate the quantum algorithms where N is the number of qubits in the system.

Do them solo, then get back to us :kissing_heart:

You make redicoulus claims. There are very, very few players clearing sub 7min GR.s. Also note that these are done with maybe a handful of wizards.

We don’t need to make the cap higher. I do find it hilarious though unless you can post on your real account then your point is mute

You can see the 150 GR 4 man clear teams anytime on the 4 man LB.

I can and I still stand by my statement

The OP was referring to 4 man clear not solo 150 and he is right. The highest GR 4 man, 3 man and 2 man 150 has been achieved and for the 4 man it is done as a speed GR clear for a lot of veterans. I don’t mind increasing GR cap but i am afraid the game is missing a lot of elements before that including balancing between different classes.

IMO the game was a lot more enjoyable when GR 150 was not yet achievable and I was 1% my main gems.

I’m going to go out on a limb here, I would say a small fraction of the player base plays 4 man meta.
