Thanks for wasting my time, Blizzard (Time Rifts Are BROKEN)

You can but by the time the portals opens up, you should already have the bar filled.

You know who is completely wrong in their reply on Blizzard’s forum? Look in the mirror, dude, because it’s you.

Everyone trying to get in has contributed in some way to the open world stuff. The reason why many people aren’t getting in has nothing to do with their contribution; it’s because Blizzard’s tech isn’t instancing properly. Which, by the way, they admitted in the community interview last night. And this happens whether the bar is filled or not filled.

So, good try, but no.

Like an airline overbooking a plane they release content they know needs more hardware resulting in what this is. Isn’t it a sort of fraud to release content you know your hardware will not support?

(Insert ‘multi-dollar’ or 'small indie company joke here.)

The real salt in the wound is lagging through the entire thing before the rift, getting into the rift, then getting kicked out of the rift half way through the boss, only to be told the instance is full when you try and get back in.

Insulting waste of time.

Contribute? There’s a lot of players AFK waiting for the portal to spawn because the boss has a % to drop cosmetics and you still get some chest depending on the progress of the zone without doing activities.

It’s first come, first served
 and that’s a bad approach for this kind of event.

Exactly and they’re imposing a weird cap limit on the instance.

lol what quality, the days of a polished game are long gone.

The ones I did went just fine. Does this happen often?

Probably because you’re on a Brazilian Realm and those tend to be a little lower population than the North American realms. Good to know though, will see if I can get a buddy on Gallywix to invite me for next Rift, this one, for me, was a total waste of time.

Yea, the ones I’ve been to weren’t exactly full. There was a lot of people but not what I’d call an army of players.

Might work getting invited.

Can’t believe i wasted time on this stupid bs dogwater garbage event only to get kicked and denied a reward

in the forbidden reach you used to be able to make a group queue on the dungeon finder and expand it to raid and in that way , I was able to do rares in the reach, but somebody took the ability to make them a raid away , and now nobody does it. You can get the vault keys from the Dragon Scale expedition vendor , but you don’t get any primalist loot drops for alts without a large group

I did one at 3am that went just fine. Is this like prime time high pop server issues hitting you guys? Might see if there are any groups with low pop server advertised and see if you can get a phase shift if it helps.

Post is 3 weeks old. From what I’ve seen, there is no issue with Time Rifts anymore, at least not for me. I’ve been doing them every hour with no problem, so I assume this was finally fixed.

Yea it was fixed like a week after it came out, this post is from before then.

It was something to do with the sky box that caused all the lag from what I’ve heard
