(Aug 4 NZT) 60 Minute Cut-throat Event!

Oh wow, so much stuff happened in that one hour. Builds are limited in the beginning since you can really only get the starter gems. Perma frost seemed so cheap, since ice spear and early spell crit passives allowed for easy crits. Nerfing it would be nerfing the witches only plus. From all of the people I killed I didn't see a single sapphire ring, and I can't tell what the people that killed me were wearing, so I can't say if cold res would help there. Overall from what I saw, if someone didn't want to die, all they had to do was run away instead of fight the other player. I can't tell if I like it that way or not, though.

People have overcome 1v4s and won it's not easy but it's not an automatic loss


Of course it's not but not everyone has an expert's grasp on this game and all it's nuances. There is a core group of players that really "get" the game and blaze through it then there is the greater % that are far more casual.

In the end it should not be anything difficult to make a place in cut throat where it is solo only, people can run there to either avoid the groups of hone their skills so they can later join up with groups.

Everyone wins!

Incredibly good fun. And kudos to GGG for rooting out the crash issue so quickly! That's precisely what closed beta is all about.

Party absolutely compulsory, though. Wouldn't go that one alone.


Yeah. Party definitely was key to enjoying the mode. But damn was it fun.

I would like to see a max 2 man party cutthroat league, or something similar.

Crazy awesome chaos for the hour league though.

OMG with people wanting to separate groups and solo people... Life should be harder if you don't have friends to rely on, but guess what, it's also more satisfying when you're successful at a given task. Stop trying to restrict player freedom...


Some of us like to run solo. Shouldn't be penalized for that, shouldn't be looked down on. Solo runners should be allowed to have a chance at enjoyment of a certain mode. If a solo runner wants to join the groups server for a challenge, so be it. But there should be a choice.


Exactly, you are forced to go with groups. this is a problem.

solo and lower groups should get benefits. This way a 4 vs 1 is not an automatic win.


Hmm in IMO I think it would depend on the league rules. This was an open league think of this of a more ladder prospective and say it starts with say 100 players and as so many get knocked down eventually you get bumped out. so say you die and get to -XP% say when you get to 3 levels worth of negative it bumps you out of the race. I think that would allow players to make allies and also go against them at some point. Like say survivor the tv show. This game is so open ended any thing is possible at this point.

I guess what i am saying is you may have to trade rares to get on a team to live a bit longer. Imagine if this were a ladder-HC cutthroat on man what a rush that would be.
Well, in this case there's always other solo guys you can kill =) My HoolaKillerGuy got a few of 'em, maybe 8 guys. Didn't die either so as long as you get movementspeed it's fine to solo! =) Funny race.

Thanks to all of you guys(and Hillock) for dropping so nice equips from beginning to end!
Was also listening in to Zyx and his team(or fans) fighting on, trying to kill that Kripps guy, but it didn't sound like it went all too well. :-)

I just grabbed a load of white weapons+armour, then ran back and put them in my stash. Even with other players there you can normally go and smash a chest or two and run back.
This is even easier if you do it on the beach (as there's no other players) you can get yourself enough items for 5 or more deaths just from there.

Yea, that's makes sense. But the time you spend grabbing 2-3 sets of weaps\armors, ppl are leveling, and u're getting behind.

I don't mind it as it is, since there were dozens\hundreds of white items on the floor on the areas i fought in, it just breaks the pace of it a bit, when you could just jump into in guns blazing :)

either way works for me anyway :)

That is a good point, people have to have foresight in this league to collect more items than usual. I can guarantee you that tons of items that you could have used dropped, but you ignored them because you already had a set.

Our group steamrolled Chris/Qarl and then Kripp's assassin party at the very end ;)
