Is there any reason to take "double rift fragments" over "double experience" in community choice?

[PewienCzlowiek]

Since the first one only doubles fragments gained from experience, while the second one doubles said experience, they both give you the same amount of extra rift fragments. However, more exp also means more shards, which double fragments doesn't provide.

Unless i'm missing something, double exp is objectively better.

rift exp is not the same thing as exp level, both have different progressions and while one influences only the current rift to make you earn more fragments, the other influences your account level and the amount of shards you will earn.

Yeah, and shards are always better than rift fragments since the first allows you to unlock more characters and cosmetics while the second will only give you cosmetics and extra BP unless you got the rift pass which then might allow you to repay the rift pass faster and allow you to unlock licensed killers. Though to be honest it took me about a week to get to tier 66 by doing challenges and playing normally in the queues with less people.

But bro, you get one fragment per 500 exp. If there is double exp event, you earn them twice as fast, which is literally the same as getting 2 fragments per 500 exp.

but it's niched only to that (fragment rift), while double exp guarantees shards, and as you noted, it's better to double exp, because at higher levels (from 50 to 99), it's more difficult to level up, while the matches themselves always guarantee a relatively frequent exp of 100+ (depending on the score on the emblems, time in the match and the first match of the day already gives 300 exp)

Ok, I thought you disagreed with me and said that double fragments is better

no, i just said they had different purposes, but double exp is always preferable, especially for those who want shards and are at 50+ at the account level

Ok man, while I also think that shards>fragments, I think you are partially missing what I said. Double exp gives you THE SAME amount of fragments as double fragments event, just in a different way (through bonus exp). Then, on top of that, it also makes shard grind easier.

What I'm trying to say, is that even if you wanted to have more fragments, you should still take double exp, because it provides same amount of bonus fragments as double fragment event, while at the same time giving you more shards.

Double experience is always superior because you get double the progress towards shards AND rift fragments.

That's what I'm trying to say. Now tell me, how is it possible that 19% of people voted on double fragments?

We risk stepping into dangerous territory by acknowledging that question, friend.

Perhaps an argument could be made that some people shouldn’t be allowed to [REDACTED]

I'm starting to think, that considering recent unwillingness of Bhvr to giveaway shards, they added this option just to divide people who want shards and those who want fragments, to make bloodpoints win.

Because the majority of the community is lay/casual, they are not very aware of the game systems themselves, and just look at the most voted maps too, until the last time I voted Wreckers' Yard was tied with Gideon, at least the saloon was ahead (an ok map)

The only thing that could make the double rift fragments busted is If we were getting double fragments from archives. But it would be unfair for those who have already completed the challenges and too good for rift grind.

Yeah, but in its current state, it would be better if it wasn't an option at all.

I think they should be at least triple fragments to make sense.
