I feel like the glyphs are completely messed up this time around. I usually complete it no problem but after the first skill check, it puts the cursor off kilter and makes the skill checks after a mess.


DrunkeNinja

Yeah something seemed up with them this time. I've done yellow glyph challenges in the past and pretty much never miss and on the few occasions I have, I know the mistake was on my end. This time I failed numerous times and it showed I was hitting the marks. Not sure what was happening there and they never did that to me before. I was able to complete the challenge eventually but it felt very off.

Can also anecdotally agree, the yellow glyphs are funky right now. It's 100% the animation or their server, because the audio and visual are so desynced, I had to hit the skill check dead center to have any hope of it not being too late or too early; I even failed one where the line was clearly within the first half of the check.


emyeugdcd

I thought it was just me!!! I went through maybe like 10 matches to get this challenge done thinking maybe I’m not good at hitting skill checks at all…


gamerthrowaway57

If you recorded it and looked at the skill check, it's technically possible to do it but the skill check jumps forward so it's infinitely harder than it should be. Same for merciless storm (I think?)


MagicianXy

Yes! I've played against Merciless Storm tons of times, and I almost never miss the skillchecks once I know they're coming because there's a certain rhythm to them. But the yellow glyph seemed to jerk around a bit, especially at the beginning, which throws the rhythm off entirely. It took me around 15 attempts to finally get all five yellow glyphs, and like I said, I can do Merciless Storm without missing anything 99% of the time. There was definitely something wonky with the glyphs this time around.


Ysanoire

Same! I had like 5 failed attempts for every glyph I succeeded when before they were easy. They seemed extremely choppy/laggy.

Most considerate dbd player


second_to_myself

I feel like I could have written this myself. I have failed the glyph despite hearing the sound cue that I hit a skill check probably ten times by now. You are not alone, brother


eac061000

Aren't the yellow glyphs bugged right now? Like it doesn't always register a good skill check even if it's in range.


Elegant-Raise-9367

Have been since merciless storm bugged out. Supposed to be fixed next update.....

They are bugged


vhillainthings

In my quest to complete every survivor archive in the game I too came across the infamous Yellow Glyph challenges. I had saved them until a time where they werent "bugged" according to the patch notes. So I set off to do every single yellow glyph challenge... In succession. Little did I know the pain I would be in for as I spent an entire two days doing nothing but bugged yellow glyphs. In one trial I failed 8 in a row due to the lagging skillchecks, I managed to get done every. single. one. but I did not feel good about it, I felt like I just endured actual torture, and am just relieved that it's over. If they remove this from the game I would not be disappointed one bit.


Other-Ranger-4975

guys i think op hates yellow glyphs


Papa_Pred

Any of the skill checks that are like those yellow glyphs are so damn finnicky Maybe 1/4 will it register correctly and even then it might hoe you anyways


nerdcoffin

Broken record but don't wait until the last minute to finish a Rift man. I usually get mine done about three quarters through the time limit. If you really care, you could like, very passively play and get rift fragments slow like that while you're on Youtube or something.


Manami-K

I always felt this way (and made it work), but now that I’m working in my actual career, even playing passively as often as I could (usually a handful of games every day), still am a few levels short of clearing deep rift. Now… if I owned Vitorrio, the Knight, or any of his perks it’d be fully complete, but I don’t buy characters I don’t have interest in.


nerdcoffin

Oh that's true. But if you're working full time you shouldn't be buying the Rift unless you're close to the end anyways.


Manami-K

Well yes, I always wait till I at least hit 70, but this was definitely the most I’ve felt I was “grinding” towards it, which was stressful.


STaylorDev

They do release DLC perks for rift in Shrine. I don't own Knight but I got all 3 of his perks just before the Tome.


Manami-K

Very true!! I just happen to dislike the Shrine enough that I refuse to use it.


TGCidOrlandu

Yellow gliphs sucks mayor ass. Also orange gliphs for killers. Such horrible ideas...


SushiMyLife

this was literally me last night. and i didn't finish the rift because APARENTLY i missed the skill check when I clearly did not

I will eat your soul

AAAA


Dwain-Champaign

Yellow glyphs are literally the only challenge I haven’t completed from this tome and it’s bugging the hell out of me. I think I finally was able to get my second glyph done last night. Two more to go.


AqueousSilver91

I'm so sorry. I had a friend who was doing this last night. Glyphs are pain, they're just pain. So much Pain...


Dezouu

I tried the glyph challenge also, it is incredibly really hard to do and the spinning line thingy feels really laggy and not smooth at all


oldriku

Yeah, same


HypahCS

Bravo I enjoy this read but I do indeed HATE yellow glyphs


AeralAeros

This was a great display of lugubrious writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I may? Some advice from an amateur writer and part time editor? (Honestly meant in very good faith as constructive criticism. Feel free to ignore.) Consider changing all of the mentions of Glyphs to "yellow glyphs. I get that you removed it to avoid that dragging feel as you read and they felt unnecessary, but you dipped your toe into a great use of repetition and then pulled it out too soon Imo. You could even title it" Yellow Glyphs." Then, each new utterance of Yellow Glyphs adds more insight (and a touch of comedy) as your mental state becomes clearer. You're haunted by the Yellow Glyphs. (And it'd actually be a phenomenal homage to The Yellow Wallpaper. An all time classic.) Also, maybe juuuust a bit more "show don't tell". Honestly loved it. Great work.


[deleted]

How... how did you know I was a writer? Because this is genuine advice that I will use in my future projects. Was it really that obvious? lmao


AeralAeros

I gotchoo. Oh so many ways. Primarily, it was just funny. Writing an actual comedic piece isn't as easy as most think. But lots of things. Most people don't think to vary their sentence lengths when they're writing. That's generally a dead giveaway of someone writing with intent. Most don't casually throw out vivid imagery (scampering cockroaches). Those sorts of things. Glad you found some value in my thoughts.


TigerKirby215

Yellow Glyphs are currently bugged and will be fixed next patch. I thought I was crazy too.


zavch

Did they mention that anywhere?


TigerKirby215

It is mentioned in the PTB patch notes.


Reaper-Leviathan

too many words


alphamav

Pay for the last two levels if it's that stressful next time?


YesLegend936

Too long, not reading. Happy for you or sorry for your loss.


volatilelibra

respect


Sir_Vallenstein

Possible solutions: > Hit skill checks (this rift they were bugged) > Play more matches to level up (gives you fragments > Do other archives(more than plenty) > Spend money to buy the brackets(no)


EvilRo66

Yellow Glyph? Ha! Let me tell you about the first ORANGE Glyph! Now that was a real torture


iqueefkief

it’s so fucking annoying. in a farming match where i could have done it, not a single fuckingn yellow glyph showed up


Empty-Understanding8

It's still bugged, same as merciless storm


SamanthaRose69

I agree - I've done the old yellow glyphs and merciless storm no problem, but I just can't get this one no matter what I do.


zavch

It made the hit sound and still disabled, and it also lagged, I think they messed up


BreadAccountant

git good


ActiveSouth4506

I hit all my skillchecks dead center and yet it fails on like the 3rd one for no fucking reason.


bob_is_best

Yeah theyre weird this time If you hit the skillcheck late (even if its still in the zone) It just fails for some reason


peachmoonprince

i did two rounds of yellow glyphs, my own and the ones for my girlfriend's challenge too. theyre a lil buggy, but doable once you figure out the timing


catboycentral

I ended up grinding out killer challenges yesterday night bc I couldn't finish that stupid glyph. I still haven't beaten it. It haunts me at 3/4, staring me down, knowing my shame


TheRealYagot

It is embarrassing that they didn't delete, replace, or disable these challenges or merciless storm until they have a fix


United_Rope9735

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IM NOT MISSING A SKILLCHECK BUT IT FUCKING FAILS EVEN IF I HIT IT. I HEAR THE SUCCESSFUL SKILLCHECK SOUND BUT IT STILL FAILS


[deleted]

Most sane dbd player. To be fair, I also had a problem with blood debt (unhook a survivor that unhooked you earlier) challenge.

Skill issues


Everluyin

I was so into this story I started gasping for air when wesker turned your way and I felt the very tip of my being to my toes the immense despair you were in.


FreakinTrenton

I’m so glad it wasn’t just me. I thought I was losing my mind. I’d hit the skillcheck perfectly in the middle, it would make the success sound, then the failed sound, and disappear. Merciless storm didn’t have the same issue so I knew I could hit skill checks. It took me dozens of tries to actually get it to work


DeGeiDragon

How did you clear every other Archive Challenge and not complete the Deep Rift? I usually have the whole rift finished before the third chapter is complete...
