Nice Race. Died at lvl 50 act 2. Not even to the clouds...
Spoiler
Came to the party late, but was a lot of fun :D!

Took 4.5 hours /not bad for my first race.

Spoiler
Act 4 clouds killed it for me. I had 1500 hp and capped resists and they straight up killed me going through one of the tunnels in Daresso's Dream. Ran out of alts trying to get a sapphire of heat, clearly I should have spent a couple hours farming more :/


the degen was so strong in at act4, decided to farm some levels before clearing the act4 bosses

in the end, was pretty easy with 2khp and 130+hp regen with dual flame totems, didnt pot at all, easily outregen malachai dmg, only need to avoid the ice circles

nice race overall, challenging yet doable as compared to last season blamt



After leveling last night in dried lake I decided to give the mines a try. After a heavy beating I stopped and got some sleep. This morning was a breeze and I had some blessings from RNGsus.

"
to the designers of this race:
1. what was the goal-audience of this race? i.e. what kind of players
were you trying to attract. since:
A. youre giving out a looot of points for the race - this should attract casuals that wants to start racing
B. youre announcing it in news even, "new race try this" - this will attract casuals as well
C. youre putting 20 boxes in each zone - thats fun for casuals
now, compare this with:
A2. youre put in an unbelievably annoying dot which scales like crazy in a2-a4,
making all the fun with chests and perhaps chatting with friends about the race go away
- this attracts hardcore players which like big challenges
B2. youre putting these clouds in the boss rooms as well - also only for hardcore players

see what i mean?
you did something wrong here in the design, maybe you should consider what goal-audience you have first before you create it
happy to have some comments about this btw



It is test for Labyrinth, simple as that. Thats why it is difficult and thats why they tried to attract as many people as they can to try it.
ok yea i guess its a test for labyrinth indeed
btw, theres a lot of "oh hey i succeeded and killed malachai, im so happy with this race" comments,
but you dont get to see much "ohhell i died at level 10 and this race sucks" comments
so please note that "positive feedback" might not be the overall opinion of each racer
its up to you if you wanna change the race a bit or not

Got a crest of perandus around lvl 10. 68 life so op. Quicksilver of Heat and whirling blades were lifesavers in the tight act 4 maps. Merveil: 738 life, Vaal: 991 life, Dominus: 1500 life, Malachai: 1973 life.

this was at barkul...like wth are we even supposed to do when rng goes this way? it was like this the entire fight. they were spawning on top of me and filling most of the arena. i used maybe 7 portals. i somehow managed to kill barkul then died trying to leave the damned place as they kept spawning on top of me.

nice race otherwise i guess...but personally just found it to be a chore-the amount of points being rewarded was alluring though. congrats to those who killed malachai and then some.
