I just checked the events page. I was shocked to find out that this (1 Hour Exiles Everywhere) race is hardcore-only. There should definitely be a softcore version for this race. For every race even. I will quit the game if I can't play this race softcore.

There have been like 2 softcore races ever. Once there's finally a one month softcore race, and hardcore people are crying all over the forums and reddit. And they get what they want. Well I demand a softcore version for every hardcore race ever from now on. Why favor the hardcore community? From statistics you posted, there are more softcore players than hardcore ones. Give us softcore races.

a very sad day for me :(

i really thought that there will be that one, one (!) time when
all the pro players will take a break,
and there will be an event for casual players,
where i will finally maybe have a better chance of winning a prize
(without the chance for a prize,
i have otherwise no desire to play a very short 1 month new league
where i might be able to reach level 70 tops)

but since the prize pool is shared,
i guess its once again, a skip event for me,
just like the previous 2 weeks event, and so on

GGG, you just gave in to the pressure,
and it truly makes me sad

can you give us two separate prize pools please ?
(would you ever bring a softcore version of race season events ??)

all of this,
together with the recent stash change,
and with all the existing problems
(like the atziri pyramid content that i will never be able to participate, for example,
which is already aimed for the top pro players and only makes them richer,
increasing the gap even further (300 exalts for one item ??? come on ...))
just breaks my will to keep playing

edit:
big disappointment, that's what i feel now after reading that announcement;
you took someone's truly minor problem that they could live with for one time,
and changed back your own decisions into something that hurts me greatly :(
i feel betrayed :(


You know that the hungry demigod "pros" will play on sc this time cuz why not as the penalty of dying is nothing

If they want Hardcore so bad, they shouldn't be able to win prizes. And personally, I think it's about time to stop giving in to the QQ. People really need to learn not to whine about everything. Make a sensible, polite suggestion, yes. Just going "Whaaaa, we wants it, GGG so mean" - no. I really hope the emails you got were of the former and not what people wrote as comments on the forum. [/quote]

I was actually one of the people who wrote a personal e-mail to GGG. I asked them if it would be possible to add a hardcore league because I could see on the forums that there were a good bunch of people who wanted this, including myself and now I can play with my 4-5 friends who also want a hardcore league.

Some people will always complain. This thread is a good example of it.

Now there's a league for the people who wants the softcore experience and a league for those who wants the hardcore experience.

Since there's two permanent leagues, one for softcore and one for hardcore, I think this is the best solution for everyone.

I'm just looking so much forward to the new league on saturday!

GGG is really the best company I've ever encountered in this gaming world! :-)

Long live GGG and see you on saturday!

Exactly. Don't listen to QQ'ers and set the XP loss penalty back to it's original value, GGG. Thanks!

I haven't really followed this debate and situation, neither do i care about it since i don't even do races or care for prizes.

But - like probably many others have mentioned before me - this act from GGG has only solidified my notion that they are some of the best and most "human" games developers currently on the gaming market, for which i'm extremely grateful.

You will undoubtedly make some mistakes in the future, this is obviously somewhat expected. But to man up, listen to thousands of complaints and fix the situation in the matter of freakin 24 hours, that gentlemen is the trait of a sensible and responsible company who really cares about it's customers and it's product.

Kudos and thank you from a satisfied customer.

Thank you GGG! I'm glad we all get the opportunity to choose between SC and HC, like the other leagues.

I will try them both for sure and certainly make some microtransactions to show my appreciation. :)

The amount of stupidity, you do know Races were meant to be HC so if you died you had to start all over, right?
If you just revived in that zone after dying, it would be too easy.

I'm sad to see the HC is identical to the SC, it won't feel like the same in any way, why even bother to open up HC League, they'll just cry ASAP like they did towards Invasion.
