Dead by Daylight’s New Quest System: Progress and Setbacks

Sure, here’s the re-written article:

Alright, folks, buckle up — Dead by Daylight just got one heck of a makeover. Or, well, a misstep here and there. You know how it goes. We’re talking about the Rift — remember that thing? It’s like the heartbeat of the game, constantly changing. This time it feels like someone ran into a soundproof glass door. Yeah, painful but intriguing.

Anyway, a while back in May 2025, something interesting happened. Orela Rose joined the team. Nice to have new blood, literally. But I digress. The Rift’s got this new setup. Used to be like a treasure map, mystery and all. Now? It’s just lists. Feels like going from an epic quest to a grocery run. Handy? Maybe. Exciting? Ehh, not so much.

Oh, and about these quests. Now you can tackle bunches at once. Like a multitasking dream — or nightmare if you’re indecisive like me. Seriously, was completing one mission at a time such a bad gig? Now you’re juggling quests like flaming swords. Keeps you on your toes, I guess?

Here’s the kicker — getting those shiny Rift fragments is different now. Instead of 10, you need a whopping 100 to level up. Progress is key, but man, that’s like running a marathon in flip-flops some days. The daily grind? Yeah, it’s real people. Only 5 weekly quests with a decent payout, so don’t get cozy with that pace.

And hey, the identity crisis hit hard. Remember those quirky challenges with glyphs and memory fragments? Gone. Poof. Kind of like when your favorite band goes mainstream, right? You hope the soul isn’t lost forever because that’s what kept the game alive.

Plenty’s at stake, especially with the Freddy crossover lurking around the corner. You might wonder if this revamp is worth the gamble. Maybe it’s like upgrading from regular coffee to espresso — energizing but jittery.

So here we are, waiting to see if these changes stick. But, oh dear developers, please don’t forget those unique challenges. I mean, they were the seasoning on an otherwise bland dish. Let’s hope Dead by Daylight finds its groove again soon. Fingers crossed, folks.
