Will there be a Diablo 3 rift-like end game mode? Just something with a little bit of competitive spirit and leaderboards. Something that can be pushed through for a score that isn’t just speed-based.
Like, make it also score based on taking as little damage as possible, etc.
Maybe something based in an Arena?
You could argue that D3 Greater Rifts and the LE Arena modes have competitive spirit and leaderboards in common. I don’t agree that they are the same though.
Greater Rifts gave a feeling of travelling deeper and deeper that the Arena cannot equal. Arena mode is pretty stagnant and never feels like you are on a journey due to the fact you are trapped in an “Arena”.
The arena doesn’t feel like a GR. I prefer GR, but look forward to the play modes EHG planned.
Just something innovative for multiplayer gameplay. A reason to keep grinding on our characters that isn’t just endless waves.
I don’t that EHG will implement anything that is “innovative for multiplayer”.
They did communicate very often, that there will be no content that is only for multiplayer.
So besides very good balancing, to incentivice party play I doubt we will see fancy Multiplayer game modes.
To my mind both systems are boring as hell. I Like the monolith system and hopefully the other endgame system will be good too.
Greater Rifts weren’t only multiplayer, so it isn’t off the table entirely!
I spent a lot of time in those rifts o.O
There also the crusade system in W40K Inquisitor, where you get mission choices and increasing difficulty toward the final mission. Only in the final mission you get big loot.
I never said something “Rift-like” will not be coming.
I just said, that whatever system will come, will be playable solo.
I was solely referting to @JCourtney’s comment about the hopes for “something innovative”.
While I have no doubt that EHG will come up with some great endgame system, it will not be something that has some crazy MP implementation.
Greater rifts = run higher levels over n over again
Corrupt monolith = run higher levels over n over again
In my opinion, its already implemented.
I dont think LE wil outright copy a gem system like GR.
And bear in mind LE is not a mp focus game, so its better to manage your expectations.
Corruption leaderboard please!
Enron would have to be #1 with Worldcom at #2…
Rifts don’t do it for me anymore because Grifts are a gamble sooner or later. Good enemys? Play it? Good pylons? Beat it? Bad Enemys? Close it.
I hope we’ll see Something that’s the same for anyone when it comes to leaderboards because that’s the only fair playground.
Grifts get very boring too after some time because I always felt like I know the setup of the map and where I need to go to get deeper while I only explored a fraction of the map. I’d like some kind of “dungeon” mode that is realy different each time I do it so I don’t go brainafk “bbbbbbbrrrrrr” mode while watching Sharknado.
Then again I hope we’ll get some fun MP stuff in dungeons like: stand solo on rune plate A and go the “left path” to enjoy said content in solo mode. Stand on plate A and B to go the middle path as a small group. Stand on all plates if you insist but don’t cry after you turned right and get your butt handled.
Not for extra loot or XP or whatever but just for fun for experienced players who like a change of pace or want to push group synergies to the max. If each path on top of it is completely random even with teleports and timeshifts and different enemys and layouts I’ll be happy.
Then again I’m intrested what the Dev team has up their sleves to make an intresting endgame possible that isn’t as bland as grifts or even mapping or monolith or delve or whatever gamemode you want to insert here that is fun for you :). I’m pretty sure they won’t reinvent the whole genre but I realy hope for a twist.
If you’re watching Sharknado, you’ve invited pain and suffering to pay you a visit and must live e with whatever comes your way (in LE and Life)…
Nah my brain wents into blunt mode while rifting and I’m not able to comprehend complicated things and watch things that make me giggle the whole time :D.
