There's over 150 exalts worth of items in that feat.

and I don't think I got all of the expensive ones.

Like honestly GGG? The only players who will ever achieve this are the extreme RMT'ers or streamers who will get gifted most of these.

In 2 weeks nobody has completed a single one of these sets. What a joke. Congrats to thousands of players who RMT.


You only need to turn in 25 of 28 sets to complete the challenge. So subtract your estimated ~150 ex by 90 ex by skipping mjolnir, headhunter, and voll's. Ends up being around the same cost as the previous challenges.



And it immediately boils down to a debate on how much these 'challenges' cost to buy.


The challenges have always been designed to test your ability at ALL aspects of the game. Trading or otherwise acquiring items is one of those aspects. Nothing new here. And everyone is also assuming that the cards will stay at the same rarity as they are now in beta. If they really turn out to be THAT hard to acquire, the drop rates can always be adjusted as needed.

The challenge probably won't be too hard, but I wouldn't judge the difficulty of the league before we've even seen what it will be like. Even after strongboxes had been out for several months, a lot of the people who had only played the hardcore leagues were complaining about them being "free loot" for the softcore league. Then they tried it. And died. A lot.

I don't doubt hc league will be a bit of a shock with some of the difficulty changes coming in on top of the craziness tempest effects will bring. I guess my point was more that only having that one challenge being hc specific means people will get in and get out as long as it takes to complete the challenge (and possibly level to 82). Separate challenge leagues would be nice imo: The 1 month challenge leagues with the red/blue armour were great.
Not a fan of repeating the vendor recipe challenge, I thought it was an okay challenge at the beginning, but not good enough to be repeated. ESPECIALLY right after the original one... Others look good though, although i think the last one is really easy. Maybe make all 33 of them required, I still think it'll be an easy one...

Edit: Nvm, that last one could be hard depending on the rarity of some of those uniques. Still dislike the vendor recipe one though :P

I usually play softcore, but I actually like that they have at least one challenge which pushes you to try the other league as well and experience ALL of the different types of content the game has to offer. No one is forced to do it(Zana map mods probably even make it possible to complete the challenge in either league, though this would be expensive) but it at least gives some incentive to do so.
Looks nice and challenging! Bring it on.
How long leagues lasts?
In order to get rid of clearspeed meta cap global movement speed at 100% but make all skills instant so everything feels great.
@Chris

You forgot to add screenshots of the new skins you get by completing the challenges.

Cmon now :D

There's over 150 exalts (3 month, HC prices) worth of items in that feat.

abandoned wealth = 3x exalts = 3ex
the avenger = mjolner = 20ex
the brittle emperor = volls devotion = 20ex
celestial justicar = 6L white chest = 3ex
the chains that bind = another 6L white chest = 3ex
the dark mage = 6L white staff = 3ex
the Doctor = Headhunter = 50ex
drunked aristocrat = divination distillate = 3ex
the feast = romiras = 2ex
the gladiator = bringer of rain = 10ex
the hunger = taste of hate = 2ex
kings heart = kaoms heart = 15ex
the pact = pledge of hands = 15 ex
the wind = windripper = 20ex

and I don't think I got all of the expensive ones.

In 2 weeks nobody has completed a single one of these sets. What a joke. Congrats to thousands of players who RMT...and I'm not even sure that feat is achievable with RMT in a 3 month league.


you see the problem your assuming that the prices of those items right now will equal the prices in the awakening the card drop rate is much better then the item that rewarded because they force you to farm a specific zone! i bet in 2 weeks most top players will at least have 25 or 30 done
except to lvl all these vocations i rly like the challenges, now the Games can beginn!

I never said or even hinted that it was anything new.
Casually casual.
