Descent Races

Thks Chris I... We really appreciate your work, answers, and... well everything, Re-synch seams to be a problem but... hey this is Open Beta, it's not even First Release, so... It's completely understandable at least for my point of view =) keep going the good work!

Regards!

And, it's going to be really good if you put some kind of "Skip Descent Race" or "Turbo Descent Race" starting in lvl 20-30-40-50 I mean, lots of players will agree that builds starts to get shape at lvl 40-50 in 1-20 every class are basically the same, so start at lvl 40, 10 minutes to make your build some items and skills and start the race there is pretty good, just a constructive feedback I guess =)

=( Again... If a player kill every monster what lvl can he get? 15? 20? 50? 90? aprox..
When the Hour finish, what happens with the character? He gets destroyed or he remain alive for keep he's progress in the next race?...

PvP? =(

We've seen characters finish in the early-mid 20s so far, but the balance is constantly changing as we develop it. It also depends on what strategy is used. At the end of the hour, the character and items are destroyed.

The progress for the next race is knowing what to do and what weaknesses there are on which levels.

Is there a chance you might make a longer league out of this Descent idea? Like 1 week or more?

no doubt its probably struggle finding a free hours in the next 6 months schedule, Im sure this will be more than enough to keep us entertained until 3x comes and then whatever comes after.


The idea of an endless dungeon or a limited one that gave the illusion of endless by becoming so hard no one could reach the actual end has been around. As has a maps. But theres always this left field element that you guys bring with it. Ive seen many people call for maps in other games, Ive never seen anyone suggest you can craft harder monster affixes on your map for increased loot, its that extra element that takes it up a notch.

Im excited for this 'as is'. A whole new levelling curve with different drops and drop rates in a different area? Its not just an hour long dungeon dive strapped into a corner of the game somewhere its a whole new thing with strange dimensions. Yes please.

If it works and the ideas can be expanded on further down the line that would be mega, but I think we understand thats not something where you can just push a button and its ready for tomorrow. But you know guys, you might have just taken the lid off another massive pot of juicy goodness here that most of us didnt even know was cooking, this could be the end of you and holidays till 2017 Chris. Now we dont just have the game to moan about, theres spaces for other games around the game that dont even exist yet that we can moan about.

No sleep till 4 month blamt anarchy descent party challenge ladder minigame or I stop buying pretty purple things for my pixies sticks.

I was already excited for the Descent race, but after reading Chris' posts about the details I'm even more stoked! I didn't run a single race in Season 2 because I felt my time was better invested in playing merciless content and leveling characters compared to rerolling every night after work. But I have to say I've grown very bored lately and haven't played much the past week or so, however I'll try my best to run every single descent race I can!

Also hearing Chris say that there could be a chance for a longer/permanent version of this kind of thing in the future is very encouraging! So glad I have the next week off of work :p

Please make a note in the OP that this is a hardcore-only league. Not at all obvious for those of us new to races.

I should note: many people have described Descent as an "Endless Dungeon", but it has a total of 15 levels. They get pretty hard by the end :P

The Descent races sound awesome. How soon does the race schedule go up? It would be nice to try and arrange personal/work schedules so that we can join as many events as possible.

Thanks to everyone on the GGG team for the extra helpings of fun!!

I've never participated in a race before, but I think this new type will pull me in.

Looks good guys!

You should probably fix the the thread title.. 'Descent Races' instead of 'Decent Races'

I have done, but it's a pretty Freudian typo ;)

Thats ok, everyone makes the occasional freudian penis.
