How far can people push in 5 days of time? In 24 hours it is usually late 70's, so i suppose in 5 days, around lvl 91-92 if they gonna push hard enough?

The solo play however will mix it up, probably without party drop rates of maps it will go down to lvl 86-87

map drops arnt actually effected by parties, but ya, shared currency to invest etc, being able to split up for 66/67s and then pool higher maps, clearspeeds, itll surely have an impact.

i guess like 95 is possible, but only for the redundant ppl, the rest of us get to like 93 or way lower

guess lvl 80 is limit for most player. Don't thing anyone get even lvl 93

lvl90 is a realistic goal for me

Seriously ppl. If you cant get to lvl 70 in 5 days then how do you expect to be useful to a beta program? An invite to a beta is not the same as an invite to a party. Its an invite to work (without pay) in order to make the game better for ALL of us. If GGG fills the beta with casual players it will take 9 months for v 2.0 to go live. The event keys are for pro players. Casual players already have a way to get into the beta 1 per 5 minutes. There's only 25 keys avail. for the lvl 70 lottery, added to the 70 given to the top 35 ppl. thats 95 "pro" keys. during the 5 day event. Also during the 5 day event there will be aprox. 1440 keys given out randomly through the invite timer. That's 6.5%. Let me say that again 6.5%. Players that prove they can spend 240+hours testing during the 8 week beta have access to only 6.5% more keys than everyone else. Considering that the current system could possibly give out a key to someone dead IRL, I don't see how these events could be considered a bad thing.

Trying to bring a voice of reason to the forum? Better stop this futile attempt right now, Exile.

sucks for those that have full time jobs and cant play enough to be in top 35 and or hit lvl 70

Sucks more not having a job, not even part time, actually.

not having to work is a luxury

not having to work and not having a job are two very different things.

Peace on that anyway.

I guess I can throw my two cents in.

GGG could easily make this a 5 day event that would be fun for even the lifers.

They could ramp up the amount of beta key winners in each league from 35 to 100. However; only the top 35 winners from each league would get instant access to beta.

The other 65 winners would get a beta key that could be used in the 1st wave of the next phase of beta 4. This way, GGG could give prizes while controlling how many people get in at one time. If someone won a delayed beta key, but won the 5 minute lottery while waiting for the next phase, their delayed beta key would be given to the 101st player, making him a winner too.

To get the lifers to play more, there could be a random raffle in each league every 5 minutes for a delayed beta key. The more you play, the more 5 minute chances you have to win. This 5 minute raffle only works with people who are actually playing the game at the time, giving you much better odds than winning on the 5 minute raffle on the main page.

The good thing about winning a delayed beta key is that you know that you will get in at the start of the next phase. There is no guessing or hoping to win the old way.

GGG thinks that 0 sec playtime accounts are useful for beta. So in their minds everyone is useful to beta.

The secret of Codename: "Ruckus League" will not be revealed today.

KK... i skip this vanilla league/race and wait for the "Ruckus League" from now on... I don't need any beta key(s), just a little fun until the real deal is finished and tested.

Basically this. If Ruckus league is sufficiently Ruckusey - all beta hype will be out the window and I'll just wait enthusiastically for release :D
