Ideas for rifts and Blood Shards b/c you got all the loot you want from Kadala.
1. First off you need to make another way to spend the Blood Shards and Rift Keystone Fragments and a new way to open rifts.
a. Kadala sells certain items to make the rifts you open more fun and produce better loot.
b. To open a rift with new purchased items would require a popup box when you click on the rift to place your upgrade item. One upgrade per player (four slots total).
c. Price of upgrades would have to be expensive so you couldnt run em back to back to back b/c you dont wanna kill the rest of the game. Price should be 250 Blood
Shards and ten rift fragments (plus the five just to open the rift so fifteen total).
The idea is to make the item expensive enough that you still have to farm the regular rifts and bounties. You also want to make it appealing enough to make people want to
actually play in a group of four with upgraded rifts rather then solo farming the game. (try to bring that community back)
2. Items to enhance the rift.
a. add 200% Magic find. (dont sound like a lot but if all four people use that upgrade its 800%)
b. 25% of the rift is now elite mobs ( four of these used would make the entire rift elite mobs)
c. add 50 blood shards from Guardian ( lets keep these awesome rifts rolling as much as possible)
d. add One extra rift guardian ( FIVE rift guardians anyone. stop trying to be slick only the main Guardian can drop blood shards)
e. add one special rift proc (cow level, Goblin pack, Whatever)
f. add a chance for any Rift Guardian to drop a random Rift Upgrade.
g. rift guardian will drop an additional forgotten soul
h. double pillars time, each pillar has their time effect x2
i. double resplendent chests spawn (or guarantee at least one chest )
j. elemental immunity "you no longer fear <element>" (one type of element per rift)
k. Increased movement speed 20% (plus of your current move speed) *No movement speed pillar can show up on that rift
l. add a random key warden that drops the keys for ubers.. 100% chance to drop a random key..
3. Would have to make it somewhat hard though and say each upgrade used would increase the difficulty of the rift by a torment level or three deaths in the rift and
you cant re-enter or BOTH. >:)
4. I think this would make the game a lot more interesting playing with different combos of upgrades and at the same time making it way more fun to play with other people.
5. List some other upgrade to rift ideas or thoughts.
yeah it is very PoE'esque but let be honest.. Blizzard doesnt mind borrowing ideas from other games if it makes their games more fun and i for one think it would make running rifts a lot more interesting.. you basically get to build the rift you want to run.
This post justscreams PoE Personally I prefer waiting for tiered rifts and see what they come up with.
The OP has a cool idea for the future but I am waiting for the tiered rifts to come out. Should be a good test to see how well your group can work together to see how far you can go.
tiered rifts.. yaawn. These ideas seems very cool, I like them a lot. They might as well put those season legendaries in there, and removing crapthorne from the loot table etc.
But I think the cost for such a rift is too small. 250 shards and 15 keys are piss easy to get, and couple this with having a party..

250 shards per upgrade per person so at most you can only run two upgraded rifts back to back if every person in the group purchases and upgraded item from Kadala. so if you make a fully upgraded rift ( each party member adds and upgrade ) then as a group you are spending a total of 1000 shards.
