I agree there is no pattern. I've been doing this for two hours, and getting the rift each 10 minutes, and still no Diessa Plateau. I'm also routinely being spat back into the map in which I entered the rift.--Hesione (talk) 21:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for confirming. I've removed the table. --BuffsEverywhere (talk) 23:41, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
There may be a pattern, having done this event for over two hours. But being in the rift even immediately prior to the new one seems to "break" it. As in, doing two in a row because the rift boss was killed fast, appears to do something odd to the rotation, so the "next" boss doesn't appear. Maybe there's some type of "enter rift at X time" and "kill boss at X time" effect. There were times I entered when the boss' health was very low - once the boss was down to 25%. It appears that the people fighting must have entered the rift on the xx:10 prior to mine. This may have an effect as well - although this would need testing, and I can't see a way forward for doing that. It would also mean that time of kill has an effect. I initially thought this was due to missing a sequential xx:00 timer, but some of these are super fast. I still want Anton's Boot Blade, so will check this tomorrow. I eventually got my Diessa Plateau at the "right" time, by sitting out the immediately prior rift event. The event appears buggy anyways: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/1174493 --Hesione (talk) 10:53, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Reconfirmed today: Snowden Drifts, Kessex Hills, Rift wouldn't let me in, Kessex Hills. Order is random. --Hesione (talk) 19:57, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Just want to add that I followed the this timer today: https://thatshaman.com/tools/rifts/ (which is the same as the wiki table) and it matched perfectly for at least the last 10 events. ~SimeUser Sime Maraca Choya.pngTalk 19:04, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Maybe it was changed when they did some update. But it definitely did not follow the pattern the couple of days I did it. This was also commented on by some other players in a couple of rifts I was in. Hesione (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Yeah I checked the forum discussion as well, that's why I took additional extra time today to confirm it apart from achievement completion. Added a bug note though, feel free to expand it based on your experience. ~SimeUser Sime Maraca Choya.pngTalk 20:24, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Wasn't checking the table but I was able to complete one followed by another in the area I exit. Also tips for whoever tries to solo:

-to catch crystal stand slightly before the white circle instead of right on top of it
-while in rift stay in one corner, try to catch the crystal only landed where you at and kill mob that spawn(in that corner)

Happy hunting
