Rift map changes!

Just attempted new rift (with genie armoury), sunk on wave 24, for the time taken I would have completed the old rift.

The new update is the wrong way to fix the problem. So we see ships getting time of 6mins on the old rift. Most players can 1 shot up to wave 20 in about 3-4 mins, that leaves 3mins or so to do last 10 waves, how is the question every player at some stage must of asked themselves.

A)Simply increasing damage done by the npcs means most players wont be able to complete the map
B) if the player can complete the map it is likely to take a long time compared to previous and most players wont bother as its needed for the season.
C) rebalance so players cant kill npc's so fast.

 

Ahoy lue1962!

Thank you for your feedback on the recent rift changes.

It is worth noting that rift did not had a single update for several years but we all (players) grew in strength and def.

These changes were required to keep the competitive side of rift alive.

Not everyone should be able to pass all 30 waves of rift - this supposed to be a challange.

A challenge too far.
Tried again same config as before except additional super armour plates dragon powder and hour glass.
50 minutes to get to wave 30 then died a death.
NPC's move to fast even with HG and pumpkins powers, could barely escape.
Just imagine 2x 50 mins every day to do the season...

 

Not meant to hijack! have tried new rift map & I can confirm that NPC's on wave 30 are moving too fast prevent me from repairing.

 

Ahoy Pirates!

In order to "resolve" NPC speed make sure you sink the "fish NPC" as first as this is the one that increase everyones speed within this wave.

As previously stated your feedback has been noted and will be forwarded. If any changes to the rift will take place we shall inform you within Patchday Notes / Official Annoucements.
