    Yeah, you can't get to 70 by doing all challenges. I think it just feels different. To me, the fact that I have a hard time with some challenges is part of the reason for which it doesn't feel like a grind: for example, I needed roughly 10 matches to get the Spirit 4k challenge in the second Tome and even though I wasn't doing the challenge, I was still getting progress on the Rift. It feels different working on a challenge, rather than on the Rift. I take one challenge at a time and even if it does take a while to complete a harder challenge, it's a way smaller step when I think about it (plus, every failed attempt is still a good thing (1 Rift Fragment)). So I'm "grinding" a challenge at a time, rather than opening the game with the mindset of leveling up once or twice in the Rift.

    But I definitely understand why you'd feel otherwise. Like I said, you're probably good enough to do most challenges on the first try so I'm not sure how exactly you could change your mindset. You probably just play and know that you'll get 2-3 challenges done in a session, rather than what I think "I'll probably be able to do that one (harder) challenge today".

    I wouldn't really play when I had no challenges available. I'd only play survivor if friends were on (because I dislike solo queue); my killer game is way to weak and I often get trashed to the point where I just quit the game and play something else. However, I will admit that I'm also helped by the fact that I like achievements and, being newer to the game, I'm still missing 40 as of right now. So, whenever I didn't have a challenge available or friends online, I'd go in with the mindset of working on a certain achievement. Maybe find something you want to work for whenever you run out of challenges? Achievements, you said you have most of them so maybe P3 all-perk some characters? Surely you don't have everyone P3 all-perked after only 1000 hours. Otherwise, I don't know how to help.

    Thank you for your understanding words.

    Yeah I got the spirit challenge in like one or two tries I think.

    What you said is 100% what I feel like. I only play the game without challenges with friends bc otherwise its almost every time the same. I do play a lot killer too, but that also gets boring with no real challenge.

    I have almost all survivor on p3 and some of the killers too. Just not the ones I dont like playing.

    So yeah, I think you can't help me. But thats okay.

    Thanks a lot. :)

    I don't know how much you play, but I'd like to assume you can and do play 15-20 hours a week....if that is very wrong what I'm about to say will also be wrong.

    • Moving on, assuming I'm right: all challenges & reaching epilogue in all 4 levels reward, in total, enough rift fragments to get one to tier 40-42 in the rift (did the math once, but can't remember the exact level);
    • I'd also like to think you have a higher than average skill level for either role you'd play so you should be able to do every challenge, therefore, obtaining all those ~40 rift levels.
    • You should also be able to complete the challenges within the first few tries, maybe even the first try for most of them so you'd be finished with the challenges relatively soon (I'm barely average, but I do play 4-5 hours a day and it takes me a week, at most for an entire level). I assume a week would be enough for you too (to complete an entire Tome level).
    • (2 & 3) If the second & third points I made are true, you'd have all challenges done & level 40 in the rift in 28 days out of 70 (across the Tome duration). That leaves you with 42 days to get the last 30 tiers and one needs to play 10 matches to gain a level. Depending on queue times, you get 7-12 matches in a 3 hour session (could be less, could be more, depending on how your matches turn out and, again, queue times). Let's say you get 7 matches in every 3 hours you play, that rewards a total of 294 rift fragments, 6 short of 300 (30 rift levels).

    In conclusion, if my initial assumption is right, not trying to be rude, I just think you're doing something wrong.

    Finally someone with real arguments. Thank you.

    I understand ur point, but please tell me: when did Dead by Daylight became a grind game? I love the archive but the rift is destroying the game in my opinion. If you could complete the rift by doing all challenges, it would be diffrent. (Even though many of the challenges need a lot grind too (Opening hatch with a key)).

    Some may say that leveling up and getting all perks is taking a lot grind too, but its diffrent there since you dont get a timer shoved in ur face every time you start a game.

    Btw. still dont know what I'm doing wrong, but I guess I wont find out anymore.

    Some sentences written from me in this post sound more harsh than I meant them, I'm sorry if they came across this way. But some of you should definetly think more before they post.

    This just seems a little...bratty? I don't mean to insult, but people leaving over mechanic changes, nerfs, buffs, new killers, new perks, all that is well and good. But leaving because you couldn't get tier 70? Like...in practice, the ONLY thing thats changed pre and post archives is that sometimes you get a neat little cosmetic or charm.

    Plus, even if you dont get tier 70, you still are always able to get the blood points from the archive. To, say, a stealth heavy jake to prefers stock outfits, there is absolutely no no drawback to not reaching tier 70. None at all. But now all players have tons of structured goals to head towards and loads of bp to get.

    Later in the game, the only thing you do with bloodpoints is saving them so you get perks from the killers/survivors faster. (Or prestige someone, which in my case is also almost completely done (atleast on survivor side))

    Bloodpoints have no real value anymore.

    I dont understand why you would leave for something that has nothing to do with the gameplay of the game? If you've played 1000 hours then you must have enjoyed it before the archives was a thing? Why not treat it like it never happened and just dont spend auric cells on it?

    I did play it long before the archives. I sadly am and was (before the archives) at a point where I pretty much achieved everything the game had to offer. Thats why I didnt play that much shortly before the archives were released too.
