(Dec 3) Ladder Race League with 50+ Prizes

"

We were pretty close.

How close? Were your item/flask/scroll drops good? Did you get a lot lucky map lay outs? Did you get a lot of easy champion/unique packs for XP boosters? Did you die a lot? Etc.

2 of us died a few times, we got lost in cathedral, searched the wrong map for the spider cave and one of us forgot one of the act 2 amulets...

We were in first place for a long time until that happened.

As I predicted. Couple people got rich from this and nobody else got anything.

I spent my time playing BF3 instead as I knew this is how it would turn out :)

Such is the fate of anything pertaining to a ladder race so far in PoE.

This is what happens in every event ever, for anything, outside of Kindergarten. Some people win, a lot don't. If it helps you, remember it's all being wiped anyways.. so who cares?

This was a fun event guys, with one major flaw; The people whining and whinging about how dumb and unbalanced it was. I really would have liked to turn off global but that wasn't an option because I wouldn't have seen the devs text and possibly the announcements. Kindof spoiled the experience a little bit but I still had fun. Looking forward to next event.

Neither I nor him. Neither of us participated; I was simply agreeing with his statement and implying that GGG's plan to offer several prizes as a means to increase the number of 'winners' was only marginally successful.

I do actually second parts of the "critics" (posted in this topic ,page 3 I think)
But it was a race , sadly I was not one of the winners (but very close to get one prize)..
But , I like to see some more versitile prizelist next time . Not only "First one Too" ..
1st one to the "1st" is most likely first to the next "1:st" aswell.
But ,as Witt said : its Beta ,and im sure this race helped GGG to spot some balance issues and other things that they need to fix..
Still , Beta is not really for the players..Its for the developers to get the game as good as it can be at launch.
Brgds ,
