Rifts: Hit or miss?

Sceptilemaniac

In my opinion, this is one of the best side quests in the history of the game. I always hated rifts because of the RNG factor but they finally listened.
They're basically giving a 5* generic awakening gem in a side quest, I would take it even if I don't get ANY other rewards, which I definitely will. Thoughts?

The best was the squirrel store IMO

It’s dull. Fair enough, the rewards are decent. But when there’s nothing else to do bar the standard UC event quest it’s really boring. Doesn’t look like we’ll be getting anything else. I hate to sound spoiled but when we get a lot of content in other months, it makes months like these just feel boring, especially with the general unrest at the moment.

By far the worst till thing till now. I hate having to wait for so long

miss. they suck

I don't need an AG so going random all month, but a pretty big miss for me. Too drawn out for my taste, but they can be good if you're more patient than I am. If I get no t5b from these all month it will be a complete waste of my time.

Rifts are Glance for me

Ben miss for me but don’t really care

Hit for those who got awakening gem, 5* featured, 10k 5* shards, t2a

Miss for those who got 1000 5* shards, sig stones. 100 6* shards etc...

Everyone can get an AG of their choice... it's essentially like being handed a generic gem.

How is that bad?

I think the concept is excellent, would have preferred not to grind out the 2* quest as well though. I think the 2* crystal is a nice touch, but hunting the target should be your intel source

I’m don’t said it bad it just ben a miss because I’m don’t need a 5 star gym atm so can’t ikow what I’m need to take. So but for offer middle tier it great.

My question is this: how will we know which day has the awakening gem we want?

You don’t, it’s random for everyone each time in.
But you don’t need to use the Chronometer (basically a Gate Key) until after you’re in the quest and get to see if the AG is the one you want to use the Chron/Key on.

I'm in that miss section with all pulled in the same order 😭

I think the two big "misses" with this are:
1) If you want to use the chronometer, you pretty much can't enter the rifts at all for the first 2 weeks. Is it worth it given that you're going to get an awakening gem? Absolutely, I'm happy to wait and props to Kabam, this was generous in my opinion. But it does kind of tamp down the enthusiasm and excitement for when it first comes out.
2) The gap in rewards is HUGE. You could get an awakening gem or a featured crystal...or 100 6* shards. If there wasn't such a big gap, people would derive satisfaction that even if they didn't get their top choices, the reward is still decent-ish.

Mole Man side quest was much better.. though repetitive and tiring.. rewards were worth it..

Rifts chances are bad..thumbs down..

i agree with this guy. the event is meh at best. I hate events with RNG rewards.

EarthElite

I'm still TRYING to get a 5 star awakening gem for Ægon, but RNG sucks. Why didn't they make the chronometer easier to get

Chadhogan

it's been hit and miss for one of my rifts lol but I've also had a cosmic awakening gem and some Sig stones so far

Miss.
Rifts are RNG on top of RNG. Even allowing for chronometer one time, this still results in a huge disparity in rewards.

To add insult to injury, this whole process is pretty cumbersome - fight a target (straightforward enough), change your team to 2 stars only to gain intel (with energy requirements in the path), go to store to spend intel, remember to change your team roster back from 2 stars before you enter your desired rift, then you have to fight your way through random path that requires 4 energy a node.

Requires too many steps and too much energy to have RNG on RNG (for all the runs that don't involve chronometer).

While the rewards can be great if you have good luck, the whole process is not fun and the UI choices don't make things as painless as it could be.

Huge hit. I pulled 1,000 6-star shards in my first try and now I’m saving for a chronometer.

Bahubali

I did 4 rifts... All I got was 1k 5* shards twice, sig stone, 100 6* shards.. Meanwhile my ally members pulled 10k 5* shards, Featured 5* crystal, 1k 6* shards.. RNG sucks..

Sceptilemaniac

Maybe it's just me but I feel most of the people who are complaining just do not want to wait for the chronometer.
Imo you can't go wrong with a 5* awakening gem. It's gonna be useful now or later.

Mrspider568

This rift is the best one i bought the master chronometer and got a 4* mutant awakening gem and duped archangel

Polygon

Lots of comments on this thread have assumed the class gem they want would even appear on the map, its a 90% chance for 13 runs but RNG can be one sided...
