Season One, Race Event 1: One Hour Solo

i agree alot with that big wall of text about the rewards being meh.. and unbalanced (allflame 2pts etc)

the rewards are pretty lame.. but ill still race for the thrill of it..

I'm embarrassed this helps, but it does. Thanks. Hopefully I can drag myself out the basement performance wise with some more practice. Been doing runs all day.

Just so you know, in practice today, with no unique item drops, Nugiyen got over 21, I think almost halfway to 22 :P
So I'm pretty sure 22 is possible. And 20 shouldn't be too hard, honestly.

you mean the 1 in a million with even more dropluck (+sufficient skill/experience) :P?

he had rare eledmg shortbow with +1bowgems, rare movementspeed boots, rare eledmg quiver
you can consider urself lucky if you get one of these as a blue item

Suppose thats true. Though there are ways to improve your chances to get specific items, and he also didn't need the damage as it would only really affect single target I believe.

This is an awesome idea , and I will be giving it a shot. One question though, dont the classes like Shadow have a big advantage over say Duelist or Marauder? The shadow has quik access to speed while the other 2 are penalized for armor and have no passive nodes available for speed. Is there a passive tree or just straight play through for 1 hour?

Also think the rewards are great, just for the fact that they are upgraded versions or completely unique items. I'm sure there will be more prizes down the road but for now, I think the rewards are just fine and would much rather have it be items than currency.People should appreciate that this is even available here and stop complaining

you will get skillpoints

ofc not all starting positions are perfectly balanced for every kind of situation
but since skill, luck, itemchoices, playstyle and rewards for the best of each class are also a factor it doesnt matter that much
and in the past races there wasnt a class that stood out
even duelist, who have the worst starting tree, are getting toppositions in races

4 am. BEST TIME FOR RACE. f this...

1.If somehow that we can make it lvl 11 within 30 min....is it possible for creating "another" char in "same" account get to lvl 11 and get the extra 3 point for total 6 points?
2.Im assume that we can collect the reward point even when we offline?"of course in this case the char has not dead yet"

"im also referring to 3 hours and 1week race too...(personally i think is impossible for 1 hour race"

There are no rewards for act3 quests, does that mean after killing vaal you enter in cruel?

So I turned out to be right that lvl 13 is a bit high, huh ;)
Now remove Hillock reward too.
More stuff needs balancing, but that won't happen, so no point to go there.
