Experiment with archives, results:

so last 5days I've been playing lots of dbd on a new account and today finished it Fully and the results are:
Rift tier reached: 48
player lvl:38
Also it's really stupid that I completed all challenges and I'm only half way through the rift ... Now I just gotta ''play'' to complete, quite boring...
and total wasted time:
and also other pictures:

Just curious is that 54 hrs of actually game time not including que time?
That appears to be the timer from the Steam overlay, which would show the entire time you had the game open, not just time in a match.
It's still a bit stupid how he's completed all the challenges and he's only halfway through the rift. Some of those challenges are really tedious and they should give you more rift progression rewards tbh. Not saying that when you complete all challenges you should be at tier 80 but at least a bit closer to tier 80.
We did warn about this, for what it's worth.
When we originally planned the Tome and Rift, we had designed it in such a way that you would earn enough fragments from Player XP to finish The Rift by the time you complete all the challenges. Since the challenges can now be completed in fewer matches, you may need to play additional matches after completing the Tome in order to reach Tier 70 in The Rift.

While that may be fine for people who can sink dozens of hours into this game this leaves people who have long jobs in the week in a sticky situation. I get it you had to compromise the tome 3 challenges cause they were ridiculous but it kinda sucks that I have to play dozens of matches now after I get home from work which normally isn't until 8 o'clock at night. Are you gonna keep it like this for the next tome or are you planning on lowering the grind slightly?
It's already been pointed out by many forum members that the Tome challenges aren't enough to complete the rift. The rift takes XP to finish. XP earned by playing both sides (for the bonus) nearly everyday.
I'm about 4 nodes into level 4 and sitting at 58/70. I'm reasonably sure I'll make it to 70 by the rifts close. Most of my playtime was doing these challenges and maybe 1.5 hours playing every other day between tome levels.
Yeah it's grindy as hell and I don't even like most of the rewards. The Putrid serum was nice but beyond that I just want blood points. The ones that are like, you can earn just by playing normally I like since you can get some BP bonus eventually just playing.
These in a single trial with X perk I don't even have or character I don't have are annoying.
It's still really sad that there's only enough challenges for half of the rift... Those challenges should be every week and 8 in total in my opinion :/ would make me comeback to play way more often
And here I am creating another account to play on bc there's nothing to do ;D
1. You made the challenges and "boosted" your tier. I wounder how long it takes for the grindy part to get them last 23 tiers.
2. Im Not 100% sure but I remember that steam is buggy in terms of collecting the total amount of hours.
no, steam captures hours perfectly correct
I remember it being buggy for me. I had additional hours after having a week break.
