This is the 3rd rift in a row that I’ve been put in to a solo instance.
It is a good thing to limit how many people are in them, but they are almost all impossible to solo.
Either correct this problem or make the bosses scale in the same way that world rares do. It’s a tremendous waste of time to do these now.
I’m a fan of Blizz just shutting them down for a few day to hammer out all the issues once and for all.
Got into a time rift on my DK against LK, and there was only like 5 people and no tanks or healers. I’m glad Blizz is finally looking into the issue, but this is typical Blizz, they always overcorrect and then overcorrect in the other direction.
I just try to get off kill shot before I freeze anytime I get into the time rift.
Would be nice if they actually did that & fixed it.
“Good idea, bad execution” has been Blizz’s mantra for years now.
Less so in Dragonflight, but still.
I’m on a low pop server and I haven’t seen the shards change at all. But I’ve only done a few today. When did the change happen?
Then you throw in the annoying pillar people who need to be banned.
Just to be on the safe side, I no-lifed the event hard to reach max rep asap (just finished a few min ago).
Not sure how many other people are doing the same (I’ve seen the achievement pop now and then over the past couple of days) . I do intent to keep running it on alts from time to time, but definitely not as often as I have been.
i did 1 earlier today that had 4 evokers and a pally. was such a nice change from a entire server of people and impossible lagg to a 1m fight that had no lagg
“What’s that, you cannot get into the time rift instance? You don’t like the lag? YOU DARE COMPLAIN ABOUT MY GAME? Well do we have a solution for you!” - Blizzard, probably.
It’s just funny, we complain we cannot do things due to lag, then they make it so we cannot do things due to lack of players, what a joke.
Yeah the last time I did the rifts I got into an LK fight and we straight up couldn’t do it because there was so few people.
It’s mostly a wild swing. You can two man that Gill’dan one, but Lich King’s mechanics make that … foolhardy.
I feel like I have run a million rifts and still only a little over 6k/18k on my last rep bar. I think I have the currency for literally every single item I don’t have yet. And I am not a leech, I try and go HAM every rift to max my rep.
Feel like this rep will only be harder when not group content.
Obviously its not much of a Leeroy moment if there’s nobody around to witness your Leeroying.
Zaralek cavern rares have a static 8millionish health & hit like a bus being pushed by a train boosted by the saturn 5 rocket.
Dunno why they suddenly changed it for this patch.
Are those the people who sit on the pillars around the portal area and drop down right when it opens?
I noticed this and did it to see and you still get full rewards basically so I can see why. I think Dratnos was AFKing one as he made a video lol
I don’t really get the point of leeching. You’re already there, it’s only 8 min, barely time to get up and do anything else. Doing nothing seems like more work than going ham.
It’s been a lot more pleasant on my server after whatever changes they did, and I’m merged into a full population cluster. FPS actually stays pretty stable now instead of dipping down to like 10 or 15 like it was before.
I just did a timeways (early in the morning so likely that’s part of it) and it seemed well enough for me. I’ll need to see how it is later in the day because we didn’t unlock the other 2 boxes in time, but we were able to handle the Lich King.
So if it continues like this it’ll certainly be slower to get flakes, but it will at least to me be way way more manageable.
