(Dec 1) Three-hour Solo Turbo Hardcore Ladder Race

Do not like 3 hour turbo races, progression leads the winner to grind at western forest for 2 hours. The race might be 3 hours long, but it's over at half time.

Furthermore, it promotes RNG being the deciding factor in who ends up winning when it is close.

The quest rewards in act 2 I guess just aren't rewarding enough, and there doesn't seem to be any benefit to advancing. Getting to cruel is almost impossible in 3 hours turbo, at least if you are trying to win the race.

For turbo solo I would prefer either 2 hours or 4 hours. 4 hours is such a long time that I feel 2 hours would be best.

I agree somewhat to both dime and duolc, although, no one gets to western forest in an hour in turbo :)

And in relation to gear rng, anyone who is half decent at the game only needs to get some decent items early game which sets the pace for them for the entire duration of that race, it doesn't matter whether it be 2/3/4 hour races.

The problem you have currently is the progression issue, and this is obviously linked with the races duration. You will never be able to eliminate the grinding spots, unfortunately.

There doesn't quite seem to be a perfect time limit for these races, it is either cruel ledge or western forest where people farm for long periods of time, I guess at least with cruel ledge people would of at least had to off progressed through the entire first difficulty, so that is a good thing.

Yeah I did not particularly enjoy the 4 hour races, they were too excessive for me, but that is just me personally.

Yeah, agreed with 2h races being perfect for Turbo.

Because being a short race, will force top players to keep rushing to stay in theyre positions... and rush factor in turbo is something that can often cause deaths... wich makes everything more interesting.

3h would maybe be ideal for party races... since it would allow people to go for vaal.

4h proved to be too damn long for a race, but at least would force people to complete act1... wich in turbo is insane hard for 4h short

Not really excited about this event, the last hour is just one extra grinding hour in western forest. 2 hour would be perfect for turbo solo.

Why always straight hours?

Why not 1h Iron man(Not possible to open new instances, 1 character only you can only visit town via WPs once to get quest rewards)
1.5h (No Grinding at all)
2.5h (Less time in Western Forest in Turbo )
3.5h (Ledge Cruel?)

Also I think there should be more rewards for completing usually skipped quests such as Golden hand.
Like first 5 Players get a reward.


I don't think trading affects solo races much at last not if the duration is <4 hours.
Once you hit cruel the area levels change slowly and it's more important to get certain items.

On normal the level changes almost each area so it's useless to trade if you get better items 10 minutes later.

You don't think one player farming currency for another player is an issue? Seriously?

The same players abuse other players to push them through certain quests or get certain wps in party races.
