    Rift Event Brackets

    I really would like to know how the brackets choice works i. the helix rift events.

    In the current event i switched already 2x the bracket. I was leading my bracket wih at least 800k points to 2nd place and today i am in a new bracket with names i didnt see, and the ones of 2nd and 3rd place are no longer in there, how tf is this possible?
    Seems corrupt af...

    Did your brotherhood lvl increased during the event? That could cause it. If not, it is a bug that has already happened before.

    Did you try missions in a different difficulty? That may be it.

    No nothing like that i am on level 50 with my brotherhood since a few months, and i only play the grandmaster tier.
    it switched at least two times, after it stayed the same bracket at least the first 3 places
    i also remeber that someone here posted the same problem already and took some actual screenshots of the brackets to prove but i think it never got answered.

    This is correct, and it has happened before. I noticed the algorithm for rank has changed. I had approximately 4700 Helix saved up (I only have subscription and 30 Helix/day) and before and during the event (I didn't start until 18 hours left) I bought tokens until the shop was maxed at 100, until I had 800 of them to start with. When I started 1st place was around 300k.
    Every time I advanced 15 places or so, the competition completely changed. By the time I got to the end of the progression, there were only Asian competitors for 30 ranks, with a couple of Russians thrown in. I finished in 4th with just under 3 million nodes.

    I personally think they tried for too many changes/additions for a single update and overwhelmed themselves, and us.

    On a positive note, I didn't have a single crash in the event, and I was running it furiously to get to 2.5 mil.

    I can't say the same for the Carousel. I'm having to restart the game EVERY time I hit "watch."
    That needs to be removed, and I bet all of the freezing, crashing, and "black boxes" will stop.

    We desperately need a Beta program before these updates (unwelcome at that) are released. We wouldn't have blue icons, I promise you that!
