This week has been a bit light on blueposts, but there has been a few topics that have gotten some attention. These topics include Rift Density (for Greater Rifts as well), Legendary Gems, and the Lord of Bells achievement.

Blizzard is aware of the complaints in regards to Rift Density and are working towards improving them. Although, this is likely to take a bit of time as it isn’t something that they can just fix in one patch. Since Greater Rifts are a competitive system, they need to be extra careful with how they balance them.

 Hey guys, thanks for your ongoing feedback on density in Greater Rifts. Finding the ideal density for every map for every player is not something we’re likely to perfect in one fell swoop, but we are listening and will indeed be making adjustments to Greater Rift monster density in future patches. 

I realize it may be frustrating for some not to have an exact deadline for when monster density will be “just right,” but it’s going to be an ongoing process, and we’ll continue to iterate on density (and the Greater Rift experience as a whole) with help from your feedback.

Some new Legendary Gems are in the works and are going to be introduced in a future patch. No ETA has been given on when we will see these new gems but if I had to guess, I would say they will be introduced with the next Season.

 Great discussion going on here, guys. 

Regarding Chrono’s second point, we do have plans to add more Legendary Gems to the game in the future, including those that are more defense-oriented. We don’t have a time frame to share for when the next batch of Legendary Gems will be added just yet, though. 

In the meantime, we’ve been keeping a close eye on your gem suggestions, so if you’ve got an idea…let us know!

Due to the rarity of the Cow Rift, the Lord of Bells achievement is being removed. I have been playing since launch and I still haven’t gotten a Cow Rift :(.

Just to let you all know, we will be removing the Lord of Bells from the Greater Rift Guardian achievement “You’re Not The Boss of Me” in a future client-side patch (as this is not an issue that can be hotfixed). MooOOOooo!
