RIP. I hear ya on the drops though, seems like the only time I get great drops in races is when I'm about to die :P

That dual hp coral with double damage as well looks incredible. At level 11 it would probably have quadrupled my damage!

Plenty of time to re-roll! you know you want to!

GGG tries to make the events start at a reasonable time for all (including themselves). Yes, it can be frustrating having certain races start early in the morning. In regard to this 1 week event, there is no requirement to begin as soon as the race starts. The inevitability of people dying coupled with the week long event time will not be a problem if you wish to be competitive.

Not in this event, but in events that reward players for "1st kills/clears" then the start time is an issue.

I know they do this to make it easier to manage... but perhaps in the future they could reward the "1st kills/clears" instead on:

- "quickest kills/clears"
- time taken from character creation to complete objective

This way if a player creates a character 8 hours (or 6 days) into an event.. they still have the chance to win something. It would also keep the event alive for those who die late, as they could repeatedly try to get the "quick kill/clear" rewards.

Of course I'm rerolling! I was being lazy on that character anyways :P That coral ring was a drop off burning menace btw o.o

Also glad to see in Nugiyen's global chat my rank 1 death made a lot of people death on my DlABLOTHREE character, and yes it was intentional :P I said right before I died "RIP D3 long live PoE"

I love the idea of events and races, especially for a game like this. Adds a tremendous amount of replayability. However, I'm worried that the vast majority of players will simply never be competitive enough to gain anything. The Top 20 is filled with level 60 players, and I'm guessing future races will all be this way. How can regular ol' players actually be involved in events? Don't get me wrong, it's still fun to play a one week event! But the chance for any kind of payout is quite small. Or am I missing something?

1. During previous races prizes were given out for reaching a certain level.
2. In the future you will be able to make private leagues so you can compete with your friends.

Example from previous 1 week race:
All characters over level 78 will receive 360 random currency items.
All characters over level 75 will receive 240 random currency items.
All characters over level 70 will receive 120 random currency items.
All characters over level 60 will receive 90 random currency items.
All characters over level 50 will receive 60 random currency items.

only a day in and already level 70! WOW!

ProfessionalIntegrityK. I died from bad game animation and couldnt tell if I was being attacked or not, lvl 63, well at least I can sleep well.

Thats the competitive gaming that we want!!! Awesome game indeed.
