Patch 7.3: Lesser & Greater Rifts

Recommended Posts

4nosvkX.jpg

Bounties a.k.a. World Quests, Kadala a.k.a. Relinquished Items vendor, new Legendary items similar to Hellfire AmuletHellfire Amulet and now, another Diablo element is making its way to World of Warcraft.

The ultimate question is how will Rifts differ from Mythic Keystone Dungeons? Solo content with affixes?

We datamined two items that will grant entry to Lesser and Greater Rifts. 

  • Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone - "Allows entry into Lesser Rifts."
    • Most likely Wow's equivalent of Diablo's Nephalem Rifts
  • Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone - "Allows entry into Lesser Rifts and Greater Rifts."

Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone can be upgraded (Upgrade Rift FoozleUpgrade Rift Foozle) to Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone, probably if you beat the timer in a Lesser Rift and vice versa, if you don't beat a Greater Rift timer, Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone may be downgraded into Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone.

Details surrounding the addition of Rifts are still vague, but from what Blizzard said in the dev notes for Patch 7.3, this may be somewhat related:

If you ask me, Diablo has a lot of things that should be in WoW, so I like this trend.

Why not just play D3 to run rifts by yourself?  I don't get the point of this other than turning wow into a single player game

Sure, World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, but Blizzard wants to reach out to as many players as possible and you can't blame them for that

  • You like single-player content? There's Chromie's Scenario, Withered Army Training, World Events, Mage Tower Challenge, Pet Battles and maybe the 7.3 Rifts...
  • You like playing with other players (PvE)? There are dungeons, Mythic+, raids, etc...
  • You like playing against other players (PvP)? There are Arenas, Battlegrounds, World PvP Quests...

If you don't like "X", you can do "Y" or "Z". The choice is yours to make and nobody's forcing you do do "X". There's something for everyone, even special snowflakes.

I like this, the Chromie scenario was pretty fun, if a bit too easy. Hopefully these will give a bit more of a solo challenge for when the friends list is a bit light.

You know... there's a part of me that actually wishes this was a thing...  I would love to see Diablo turned into an MMO, but I just don't see how that can happen without destroying the very fabric of what makes the game a Diablo game.  Could you imagine though being able to walk through open world content from Old Tristram to New Tristram, to West March, to the Arreat Crater and then take a boat to Kehjistan and other areas.  I mean just yeah...

Agreed.  Also I'm hoping they would give decent loot, and possibly the harder they are the better the loot.

You'd think all that salt would melt them.

Lol, would love that, but don't see it, at least in the same vein as WOW.

But as an incentive to lure Diablo players over to WoW, yeah these "rifts" look good.

I was a complete Diablo player prior to Legion, tried WoD, found it lacking in content, since Legion, been subbed, plenty to do, and more content both Single player and group content is always welcome.

For Blizz, makes sense too, I don't pay anything for Diablo (well £12.99 in 3 years............)

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
