It’s looking like 2 hours on the console, with the challenge rift cache, and that’s on T6. But certain elites, like the electricity ones, would one shot me without any real chance to defend myself. Then, you’re looking at T4, and wasting defense with a super weak legendary you might have found 20-30 levels ago.
I still feel this is more of an auxiliary helper, rather than a useful strategy to focus on, even on softcore.
Now, my run certainly wasn’t the greatest, and there’s a lot of room to be improved, but I didn’t have much chance to test things, and honestly, how many people are going to run efficiently on Friday/Saturday having never even tested the clones outside of the PTR? You certainly don’t gain the levels of the PTR, and it doesn’t kill things nearly as quickly as the simulations.
For sure. Bu especially for solo levellers on SC farming shrines will be the fastest approach no matter which class you play. Just stack defense and look for shrines.
I disagree, if you get unlucky with gambling and weapon upgrade, this is the way to go SOLO.
I ended up doing my challenge rift and played for several hours last night. First off, Bonespear is beautiful. GR100 in 3:30 with level 0 legendary gems at 580p. It’s not broken, I swear. 
I don’t really care if I can’t do challenge rift as I will just start barb in my 4 man and I don’t really need to cube or spend blood shards on anything, but It would be nice if they reset the challenge rift.
I have a question though. I left my game running and my character shows thats it a seasonal one still and paragon 607 and says season not active, so I’m curious if it will carry over when the season actually drops. I don’t think it will, but who knows with blizzard. I cannot load into a game or anything anymore.
Anyone who did the CR trying to get ahead deserves to have it taken away. EVERYONE knows when the season starts. Suck it up buttercup. Quit complaining. I was hoping it was so Blizzard could actually test something on the consoles since they refuse to do any kind of PTR testing with changes.

Lies!!! Do you really think people who know to hold the Season cache till the season starts doesn’t know when the season starts??? Quit making excuses for ignorant whiners.

‘EVERYONE’ doesn’t know when the season starts, but thanks for playing. There are numerous newer players that fell into that category. Making blanket ignorant statements doesn’t do anything, except make you look like an a$$hole.

Imagine making a new account to continue harassing people on forums. EVERYONE is laughing at you.

I can assure you I have one account and that is this one. My comments are directly pointed at people who know that you save the CR until the Season starts on Friday. New players probably don’t know about saving the challenge cache.
Stick to the forum rules and etiquette folks or you will receive a warning from the mods.
The issue is whilst we all know S22 starts on Friday the actual consoles themselves said it had started…much like when an advertiser advertised a mistake and they have to honor it then it is in Blizzards interest to rectify their mistake by perhaps resetting the Challenge Rift.
I can’t see them doing that though, I asked the mod on Twitter and no reply.
So those that did the CR yesterday no doubt will not be able to use the CR bag for leveling but the reality is it will cost you a couple of hours more that is all.
The bigger issue is the continual issues D3 has across multiple platforms that seem no sight of ending.

Looks like progress is saved for seasonal characters. Don’t worry. I’m sure some people will be mad, but they can blame blizzard for it.

I’m not convinced - I guess time will tell if I’m right or wrong.
