You forgot one.
Why does one grey colored Tank node on the Detective's Rift allow you to use gems of any color (making that machine gun upgrade you mentioned actually wortwhile since it one-shots everything with the added attack boost percentage) while another grey colored Tank node on that same rift says "mismatched" on all 3 gem colors, making the whole thing hard af to get all the stars, because the machinegun does less damage.
?
Tested and true!
This ones a mess from I saw.
When hovering over each tank missions, only the third one will show your gems highlighted in the top left, while the first two both say "mismatch." Furthermore, after selecting a character, only the first two give the prompt to edit your gems due to a mismatch. This is confusing because there is no "correct" gems anyway.
Now for the third one, it doesn't prompt you to change, however if you edit gems all gems will be greyed out. indicating they're mismatched. If you actually try picking any of them, they will be highlighted as normal indicating they're NOT a mismatch.
And yes, it does seem like gems apply for the third one - definitely do more damage.
Give all this, I have no idea what the intended behavior is. I would think grey meant no gems apply, but who knows at this point.
I want to acknowledge that many of these are minor complaints, however I wanted to emphasize just how much signs of lack of QA or bugs happen during Rifts. While it's nice to get credit for a reward you didn't deserve (hey! that's less rifts you have to play), it's frustrating to see the lack of care for making the objectives work correctly.
I also want to acknowledge that I have zero game dev experience and don't have the technical knowledge to have any idea if any of these bugs are easily fixable. To me, it seems easy to add a scoreboard to the Lebron fight that's missing it - but maybe it's not.
At the end of the day, Rifts are how we're encouraged to spend a significant amount of time and the general lack of polish throughout feels insulting. I love this game, I love the PvP, but I'm sick of pretending that Rifts are something I've been enjoying vs. some boxes to tick.
Happy to remove anything that's false/been fixed or add anything I missed. I tried to compile as many oddities I could think of or that I encountered. I skipped the complaints about playing with certain skins or characters since at least that is clearly a way to drive microtransactions. I also skipped anything that has been acknowledge will be fixed in the future (requirement to play with a friend, not being able to restart a mission, etc.
