Phyb.6704 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Frostgorge sound can have a t2 rift spawn on the meta event ice dragon and all hell literally breaks loose. This really should not be a thing. Rifts are not spawning on soto meta event bosses so why is this happening in some maps? 7 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Yeah, there should be a proximity limit so that the HotO won't work if there's a dragon champion or ongoing meta event within X distance. Too much ambient magic to process so it can't target the Kryptis rift until the meta event is cleared, or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner.4702 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Come on you're talking as if the Claw of Jormag is a difficult event. This just adds a bit of spice to it. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I think the issue is more about distraction than difficulty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyb.6704 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 It is more about having a mechanic where you gota gtfo of the way and then a rift opens and an aoe knockdown happens and everyone gets hit by a 1 hit k.o type attack. None expect a rift to be on a world boss or meta since lets be honest.... Anet made it so that soto world meta boss spawn areas are "no go" areas for rifts to even spawn. Not open but even spawn. They did it in soto zones so why not overall? Seems very very lazy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacklust.4638 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 There is this tier 2 in Lake Doric on the centaur mountain. Actual hell. I believe someone just went Yolo when they were adding these to the old maps. " - Would it not be fun if the players felt like being kicked in the squirrel cheeks when doing this rift? - Oh I know lets put the rift in the middle of 50 elite centaurs so that if there are less then 15 players there they would just run there and get killed constantly, it will really feel like spilling the nuts!

Either do it for all or none. Do not put in the work in soto zones to make sure rifts do not spawn on meta boss's. Well not doing that same work across the other zones. It is lazy. You can make it hard. Just make the rifts harder. Or the bosses harder. Do not need to be greif'd because dev's where lazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This actually sounds like rifts made fun. Might give it a shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkeh.4207 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Something to do at TD Wall after meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idpersona.3810 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This also has to purposefully be done. So I don't really have a problem with it as is. I think it's pretty funny overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki.9450 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hmm... What if they were to design a way to spice up old metas? Not necessarily Kryptis rifts, but something like that that can potentially make an old meta new again, in a sense. "Here's a new mechanic or two. Complete the meta with this active, and get some bonus rewards!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki.9450 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 On the actual topic of the thread though, I can agree that having events overlap like that, even if the events are easy, can be hectic or confusing, especially for new players. Maybe Anet should consider moving that or the aformentioned Lake Doric T2 rift in centaur land, or other potentially problematic rifts. These are supposed to be fun, not frustrating to get to or confusing to do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotO maps are frustrating to get anywhere, for me. I usually can't get to the T1 rift I've scanned with my mastery thingie, before it's over. I usually WP a lot in SotO when I don't do that other places, due to the silver cost. I want those silvers for crafting mats lol.

It's not what you want to hear, but just not opening the rift is an option. If other players open it while you do the meta, you can just get a few steps away from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) rifts use the same rotating spawn locations as everything else in the game, like hologram stampede, that were placed into the maps many years ago.
