(Aug 12) Hardcore Ladder Race

From 14 orbs

2 scouring and a chromatic. Also got an alchemy orb on the beach on the way to kill Hillock and put them in my stash. Convenient!

Started 33 minutes left and the pace I ran was better than the 1st place Duelist. Finished level 22 with 97%. Shame my internet went out for 40 minutes, my provider is usually reliable, but not today at the least opportune time.

Some decent drops, although I didn't get an alchemy until about 20 minutes left, decided to keep it rather than use it with so little time left.

Any thoughts, ETA, of the solo only race possibility?

I haven't made the effort participate much lately because of the same guys in a group always winning it.

Dregos is right. I also repeat my idea of giving prizes to the top X % rather than top X players. We had a TON of racers this time.

I came #45 though, I hardly call that winning every time ;)

Personally, I have no problem with you taking #1 all the time (I suppose that wasn't addressed to me). The good players deserve the recognition even if they take the first places non stop. I'm a highly competitive person and I believe in recognition.

What I proposed is entirely different and that's giving prizes to the top X % which would nicely mitigate this "issue".

Rawr timezones.

Oh well, I guess I can try the next one.

They essentially do by handing out rewards to those that hit level milestones.
