Well, the race is over and I'm give my post race opinion. In short, I fucking hated it.
This is my first race, and honestly the first challenge league I've participated in, and I never want to do it again. My experience was really that loathsome.

It's started off well enough, I went for a Searing Bond tanky build, as I wasn't as concerned with racing as just getting through it as a self found character.

The rampage mechanics were cute, but it seemed to suffer in the presentation department. I could never tell what it was doing most of the time besides the initial stun nova and later summons. I honestly ended up to be little more then an annoyance by merciless.

Beyond mobs thou, oh god I fucking loath these things. Their the primary reason everything sucked ass.
While in normal they we're so bad as you almost had to go out of you way to spawn them. But by merciless almost every fucking mob of enemies spawned them, and it took and otherwise smooth projection and it grinded to a fucking halt.


Their like a speed bump. Once in awhile they aren't too bad, but when your tripping over them every 5 fucking feet, that's rage inducing. They made me want to break my keyboard. And because of them I honestly never want to race again, or fuck around with challenges.
I play to have fun and make neat builds, and they go directly against that.

I can't imagine the agony that would have resulted from using a melee build, as then he bastards would always spawn right on top of you, as if melee builds didn't have enough crap to deal with.


Long story short, challenges should be optional and occasional, over do them and it's just pisses people off.

If it were more of a gradual increase in difficulty over time, rather then a jerky start and stop, then maybe it could have worked. But it's execution was just botched.

But that's the good thing of having separate challenge leagues, so that you can test ideas out, and let blights like this one die in a corner somewhere.
