Really, the most annoying thing about the current balance/state of the game is difficulty.

It's just far too easy to survive, particularly in parties and parties already have significant advantages apart from survival.

Too easy/too many people getting to lvl 75+ without any trouble aside from time.

I lold...

Honestly, that race did not even have any competition in the end, nobody had to get nervous. Rank 11-14 pretty much thought they were out of the race 30 hours before end. Nobody of them expected to win a Demigod's, because you know? They were too far away.

They all won a Demigod. I admit a lot of the reasons were people doing stupid things or stuff happening beyond their control. These things get more and more common if you push it though. I have heard so many people announcing ~100h marathons with your exact philosophy.

Some of them did never reach a level past 40. That is why I lold.

working all week... but I will be playing this as soon as I get home!!
I might try a necro build this time

My point is just that I don't see it being *too* easy, if 4 players in the top10 die in the last 6 hours. And don't get me wrong, I prefer turbo myself. But let's get off our horses and stop calling chances of dying in non-turbo maps 'insignificant' or at about '5% death rate'.

I just don't see a point or any addition to the discussion in constantly repeating yourself how easy you think this game is. How about you show it? When you did races the game was a different one. The competition got steeper. You have not competed at high ranks recently and that stuff does have a higher than insignificant risk of dying. Maybe for the wrong reasons.

Do you even see that the total xp has almost doubled since your last non-turbo 1 week race? Of course there is an insignificant risk of dying, if I play half the time I played last time oO. Is that not obvious? I am just saying stop repeating yourself while stating your opinions as facts... especially if the statistics have changed significantly.

Try to pull off 1.5G xp and call that week risk-free. Oh, you can show us in 12 hours, can you not? If you did not read, I prefer turbo too. But for many reasons GGG went with this one (maybe they don't think about this at all). I think, though, that this is the most important information for them to have to decide which alpha changes make it to OB.

Let's start adding to the discussion again, shall we?

I can understand why this time there are prizes only for the top 20 places, but I hope that in the future there will be also consolation prizes for reacihing certain level and stying alive.

For casual players, like me, who can invest only a few hours of gameplay / day

Hey guys, I'm going to be looking for a team for this week race. Doesn't have to be a static team, just something so I can enjoy the content a little bit better and have a higher chance of getting top twenty. My plan is a marauder, not sure if melee or ranged, but we'll see.

Xfire: Mardhyn
Character: Hood_Anthem

I'm inbetween jobs, and while I may have a interview this week(#fingerscrossed) I don't have anything on my dance card. Going to bed in the next couple hours and I'll be online around seven o'clock eastern so I can prepare, make my character, ect.

Hey, Looking for 1-2 more people for a team im setting up. We plan on running 18+ hours a day maybe one or two 48 runs. So far there is 2 of us. We will be using voice coms. If interested send me a PM and we can all meet up before the race and make a plan.
