(Nov 14) One-week Turbo Hardcore Race
" Me also, although staying alive in turbo to >60 for even a week, makes this one particularly challenging for semi-casual players like myself. I'll be giving it a shot though. Whether I finish might come down to how quickly I get a decent weapon and/or a couple of Alchs. |

i got 48 orbs in the last 3h race, none high, 4 or 5 mid (eg alchs, chaos,...)
60 orbs in a 1week race is a stupid joke. chance to get "nearly nothing usefull" is really high. more than lvl 60 is not realistic for people with a little life beside computergames in a turboleague just remove the orb prices and add 10 more places for shoppoints or something like that |

" It's not like the race is entirely about getting orbs, that's just a part of it. If that's the only reason you compete and you don't think it's good enough then don't race. It's not like the gem's aren't received on top of all the normal loot you get while playing anyway. They're a bonus. |

Some people enjoy racing just to race / maybe even wanting to help with the turbo league testing. Although I do agree reward system needs some changes again lol..
After thinking about it.. I feel like an idiot for thinking of playing witch like I normally do.. I probably will though. General Racing Guide for Act 1

"In general I'm not racing anymore. I have my handful of demigod's and I can easily outpace the rewards in a 3 or 4 hour race even if I get lucky with the rewards. I started racing because the rewards were too good to not try for. Now it's the opposite, the rewards are not even worth racing for even if you are consistently top 5 in your class.

somehow i agree with you duolc.
orbs should not be the only reason to race. but i think the idea behind the prices is to encourage playing a race. i mean 60 orbs sounds still good, but most are low so it doesnt encourage anything. they could say you get 1-2 high orb for reaching level 60. thats as good as 60 whetstones etc, but the joke would be more obviously. |

I'll participate. But I'm almost sure I won't make it to maps so...

1 month before OB, I couldn't care less about getting orbs. Lets just run this week long turbo race, have fun and hopefully give some good info to the devs.
I'll be running a pure summoner. Early gave is rough without turbo, so it should be interesting to see how it pans out in the turbo race! Once more into the fray, Into the last good fight I'll ever know, Live and die on this day, Live and die on this day IGN: Mastodon_The_Primeval

Not sure if GGG can sort stats on solo vs party play but with the latest patch I plan to solo and see if it's now somewhat competitive to play this way.
