(OLD) Public Weekend Event #1

3rd marauder, here are the rags I scrounged together:

on prizes 4/4 I'd say!
Fun race everyone

Well 57 last time and now 33....not bad for a Ranger in my second race. The guy I teamed up with was his first time playing today and he came in 50th. I hit level 16, was just about to hit 17 too. I didn't die once, but everyone I partied up with died at least twice. Was doing 117 dps at the end with burning arrow + cold damage I believe.


EDIT: just checked, won nothing, damn, that sucks i busted my ass too...

Not too bad I guess..

Only one (even if top-1) witch in the top-20?
And the first ranger on rank 10?

strange results...

edit: and, gratz to face, you represented us well! ;)

And yeah, at the start of the race my site wasn't being updated properly, exactly because of the same "#" in URL :D

Yeah, results are weird. Duelists were doing better then usual: 10 duelists on the first page!

(And I actually rolled one because expected low competition, hehe)

It seems like that's because the league wasn't Hardcore, a lot of dual wield duelists would definitely die off otherwise

The league will not be hardcore.

Prizes:
At the end of the tournament, we will award the prizes in the Hardcore league on a character that we add to your account. If you want to transfer these prizes to the Default league, then just kill that character.

Cut/paste fail?

This is intentional - it's the same as our other previous non-hardcore events. We give the items in hardcore so that the person who receives them can pick whether to move them to default or not.

Apparently no one has questioned the logic in this before. Why intentionally award prizes for playing Default, on HC characters? HC is supposed to feed Default, not the other way around! It's an exploitive way to bootstrap HC, rather than having to start from scratch.

As long as you don't award Default prizes on HC like this at release, it's fine, but you might as well get it right during beta.
