Time Rifts - WTF

Another week and the lag in this event still makes it unplayable (and so, so enjoyable when getting Litch King and having everyone die to defile before the boss cast bar or the ground effect ever shows up).

Supposedly the weekly quest is once per account per week (per a support article), and only rewards a 1K BOA currency token - like why is this a thing?

The gear vendor still requires a special token that doesn’t seem to drop except randomly and rarely - what purpose does this serve?

It’s once per account per week.

Edited for misunderstanding, but I still want to leave the support article in case anyone else wants to see it.

Unfortunately, it’ll be longer, according to the interview:

Very actively looking at the lag in Time Rifts. They’re looking at how the shards are spun up and balanced. Hopefully looking at improvements in the next week or so.

I corrected my typo on the once per account - the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while, maybe if it awarded some massive amount of gold or 440+ or whatever it would make sense, a 1K BOA token for the event currency that doesn’t buy anything but cosmetics - yeah, just stupid.

nah nah nah my favorite part is when you waste 15mins doing this time rifts and you just arent allowed to go into portal because “instance is full” so you and 20 other players are repeatedly flying over it and it wont let you in. So you waste 20mins and dont get loot when we all know have the group is sitting in the portal afk

you can pick it up on multiple characters

I agree. People just want to buy the cosmetics and 10.1.7 will most likely be out by September. After that, people will lose interest and then we’d have to wait to solo it next expansion. Just let people get their cosmetics.

Also, I edited my first reply, because we were on the same page. :slight_smile:

oh no cant have you actually playing the game on your alts to funnel tokens to whatever the heck character you want to catch up to current content

But there aren’t any token to funnel anywhere. That’s the worst part of it. lol

They should disable 40man raids in Time rifts and reward boxes only if you completed X amount of tasks. There are a lot of ppl leeching around and causing lag.

This just happened to me. And of course it’s another hour before I can waste my time trying again. Except I don’t have another hour. And I really don’t want to go thru all that lag and plagued grain again for nothing.

I’m a long time WoW fan and overall like DF but this patch is embarrassing. At least the selfie cam worked.

I and others can’t pick up the weekly on alts, and according to the support article, it is supposed to be once per account per week (which if true, is just a stupid design).

None of which helps with the most problematic issue of the event - all the lag and “Instance Full” issues making these unplayable (or extremely unfun) for many players.

Just missed the epic bag, because so much lag, no one could do the tasks or even target stuff.

I also wasted an Encapsulated Destiny, because I opened the bag, but it didn’t open, so I clicked again… apparently the bag had opened and I clicked the Destiny when I already had a Destiny active on me. :sob:

Maybe we were in the same Rift just now! The bar got soooo close to the epic bag but then the main portal opened and that was that. I was surprised we even got that close given how impossible it was for me to land a blow on almost any mob.

Possibly! It was so frustrating. :frowning:

This Rift mess is just that…earlier I was in one were we had already gotten our Blue Chest…was about 500 pts from 7,500 for the purple chest and the dang thing reset on me…I had to go all way back too NPC to start it again and group I got dumped in never made it too purple before the Rift came up…that is BS now if your going to move and dump players like this give me the damn boxes I earned…

No, my favorite part is when the ones who have been afk on top of the pillars the whole time just fly down and jump in before everyone who actually participated.

Had a very fun bug were upon using the jetpack in the Warlands rift, it booted a bunch of people out and then refused to let people back in giving them the error “Instance is full”, so they all got no credit and no loot. Wonderful.

Or to be in the event and the rockets lag soo badly you are stuck on the other ship and still don’t get credit.
