Announcements - Descent Races - Forum

Wanted something like this for a while. Considering how quickly you develop compared to Bliz. Bravo! Really interested in hearing what the rewards will be for normal players and not the 1% that win. Bringing back the orb rewards would be nice. @Delectrixz	Posted by MisterD#7013 on Jun 24, 2013, 12:37:03 PM Quote this Post

As a casual player, I enjoy playing in anarchy league because of the fresh economy and a new reason to re-roll. However, if these races give me no rewards to my permanent character in anarchy, there is not much reason for me to accumulate points. You'll still get points for competing in the Descent Races, depending on what the point tiers are for these new races (ie: get to level X, be the first to accomplish Y, etc), which in turn will reward you with unique art uniques and some other special art items at the end of the season. However, none of the drops that you get will transfer over to the other leagues. I guess my issue is that I will have no use for reward points. Maybe ggg needs to look at there current reward system and make some changes. Something like League of Legends ip rewards or rune page system perhaps.

I would buy a version of this as a stand alone client for offline use. Balanced for infinite length with perma death. I would play the fuck out of it on the days I don't have internet or if I was travelling. £20 GGG, thats my price. £20 if you throw in a separate pet. Maybe a White Heron or some other animal indigenous to new Zealand.	Posted by BadPixel#2964 on Jun 24, 2013, 12:40:25 PM Quote this Post
You guys have basically completely recreated the racing experience as far as I'm concerned. Before I never really wanted to get into the races because I felt that ultimately it was a waste of time to play less enjoyable low level characters, instead of just mapping on high level ones and earning much more currency. This sounds like a complete blast and I'll definitely be checking out the descent races here in season 3! :P Thanks GGG " BadPixel wrote: I would buy a version of this as a stand alone client for offline use.

Maybe a White Heron or some other animal indigenous to new Zealand. Creating an offline version of a client that is designed from the ground up to be always connected to an official server is actually a risky and difficult proposition in many ways. As a small development team I really doubt GGG will have time to work on a project like that anytime soon.

sorry ggg but your focusing way to much on races and different leagues. Alot of ppl(including me ) only playing on standard league and not caring for all these crap races. please focus on improving standard server, our map system for example is terrible, 2 less rewards, 2 hard to exp , only rmt ppl have a chance to ever reach lvl 100 Last edited by ibase#1590 on Jun 24, 2013, 12:56:27 PM	Posted by ibase#1590 on Jun 24, 2013, 12:51:54 PM Quote this Post

As a small development team I really doubt GGG will have time to work on a project like that anytime soon. Yeah, I understand it introduces a few problems simply because all the calculations are done server side currently, changing that would expose the systems to players way more than they are now. I do think It would be possible to keep the two separate but yes, I agree, it's doubtfull GGG would be able to do something like this whilst still giving the frankly awesome amount of support they are to the game right now. I'd still love it though.	Posted by BadPixel#2964 on Jun 24, 2013, 12:55:46 PM Quote this Post

How does logging out mid-race work? Do you just log back in at the start of the level you logged out at? I was wondering if there were going to be countermeasures in place to prevent players from doing this to get out of danger. I guess it isn't as bad, since you don't get your life/mana/Flask charges back. And this will be HC, right? One death = character is deleted?
