This means that either all of the items will be relatively within reach for anyone that puts a little effort in, or even fewer items will be within reach for the more casual racer than before. This I like very much. Most of the top-tier paying Supporters are full-time adults that are committed to work and family. It's impossible to turn the clock around, to where we were tweens or teens dedicated only to games, so it is very much appreciated if this how GGG's direction is.(◕‿◕)♡ The Gemling Queen favours 'NotACuckRoach'.

Also can we get a bit of an explanation why its taken 3+ months to have a race season? I can understand why people want corrupted areas removed - they troll you into thinking you're heading toward and exit but why in the world would you need shrines of boxes removed shrines can be a huge buff to the player and you can ran right past the boxes and ignore them and as for the 3 months, I'm sure they wanted to spend time reworking some of the races but this league and mini expansion took a huge amount of their time Acceleration Shrine is too good. The shorter the race, the bigger the advantage it grants you. Getting one on a burst race is a guaranteed #1 placement provided you aren't completely stupid. Boxes are for EXP. Getting them is a huge advantage, particularly if they are magic monsters.	Posted by Lyralei#5969 on Oct 6, 2014, 3:37:14 AM Quote this Post

A timed boss kill race format - i.e. an actual race, not a farming snoozefest - sounds excellent. Cant wait.	Posted by Fightgarr#3134 on Oct 6, 2014, 3:48:44 AM Quote this Post
Thrilled to hear some race news at long last. Famine + the new boss fights + the new boss split time ladder could make for some interesting races.	Posted by CreativeAspect#2134 on Oct 6, 2014, 3:49:26 AM Quote this Post
Puncture trap can down bosses in seconds. That particular race is won.	Posted by Rubixcubelube#0579 on Oct 6, 2014, 4:03:14 AM Quote this Post
Would be great actually if the hybrid rampage/beyond race occure DURING challenge leagues, not after. A lot of ppl play only harcore, so it's kind of boring to start the soft league only for the achievement.	Posted by Regisan#2902 on Oct 6, 2014, 4:05:05 AM Quote this Post
so when will the current three month league end?	Posted by shanepaw123#6838 on Oct 6, 2014, 4:17:34 AM Quote this Post
Definitely good news! --- A bit off-topic: Can we have an update on 8/8 progress attached to one news per day? This could add some thrill for those with 5+\8 :) Last edited by ekunholy#6839 on Oct 6, 2014, 4:38:19 AM	Posted by ekunholy#6839 on Oct 6, 2014, 4:38:02 AM Quote this Post
