Looks like Tome 3 exactly matches up what was leaked out 2 weeks ago. No changes.
Honestly, the grindy challenges are fine, but I am getting very tired of the extremely situational master challenges that has the phrase "...in a single trial" in them that deliver very crummy rewards as well (same 3/5 rift fragments except now for 2x-10x the work).
I'm not looking forward to Tome 4's "2 flashlight saves in one game" or "pallet stun a bad killer 4 times in one game" or "Kill 4 people in the basement in one game and pray nobody DCs or else you won't get it."

The big issue in this case is that the grind gets harder and less rewarding the further you get into the tomes. Tome challenges increase in difficulty but not the reward. It takes you longer to progress through the tome, but your progression rate through the rift also slows down because the rewards aren't porportional to the effort.

The math says that with 100% completion of all archive challenges, it will still take 8 games to complete EVERY DAY (for the bonus XP). Depending on your queue times, that can be upwards to 2-3 hours a day every day. Average players don't got time for that. I don't know what's an "average player" to a DBD dev though.
@Gibberish said:
500 EXP per match on average, 800 EXP per Rift Fragment, 10 Rift Fragments per level 8000 EXP per Rift Tier = 16 matches per Tier. 70 total tiers x roughly 16 matches per tier = About 1120 matches to go from Rift Tier 1 to Rift Tier 70 Tome Level 1: 93 Total possible fragments (9.3 Tiers) Tome Level 4: 85 Total possible fragments. (8.5 Tiers) Assuming Tome Levels 2 & 3 also give a similar amount of Fragments: About an average of 88.5 Fragments per Tome Level 88.5 x4 = 354. So, again assuming Tome Levels 2 and 3 give a similar amount of fragments, completing ever tome challenge will net you 35.4 Tiers worth of Rift progress. 70 Tiers -35 = 35. So doing every challenge completes only half the rift.
TLDR: This means you still need to play about 560 matches to complete the rift, even if you actually complete EVERY single challenge.
The Rift closes in 68 days from now, so you would have to play about 8 matches a day, every single day.
So unless Tome Levels 2 & 3 give way, way, way more Rift Fragments than Tome Levels 1 & 4, you still need to do an absurd amount of grinding to complete the Rift.
Remember when they said they wanted the Rift to be completeable by average players? Lmao. Guess that was a lie, nobody is gonna finish this without paying unless they are a total addict.

Player rank, prestiges and characters levels are showing up in random lobbies. I like this. Can we keep this please?

I noticed this is still a problem. In case you never found the answer, here you go: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/58556/high-dpi-monitors-w-text-scaling-causes-mouse-input-issues

I really like this idea too. Feels good to reward survivors for fulfilling roles (like the distraction that can't do any gens because he's running the killer for 5 minutes) or killers that perform unique feats, encouraging a diverse set of play styles.
