Share your Feedback on an Upcoming One-month Event!

I'd prefer the warbands/tempest hybrid event. Although I did enjoy the flashback event and would love to see more of them at some point, I think the hybrid event should be done first. These hybrid races have always been good because a lot of people play ONLY softcore or only hardcore. Having one hybrid event like this for each gives those players a chance to experience the mods from the other challenge league which they might not have done otherwise. It also gives a good chance to see exactly how those two mods will interact with each other before they get added into the main game.

I definitely think at least some of the rewards need to be accessible to normal players and not just the top few. Between challenges vs. level thresholds, I would prefer challenges. Most of us have probably leveled dozens of characters by now, so it gets a little boring after a while just trying to take ANOTHER one to level XX. Challenges at least give some variety and also push you to try out ALL the different aspects of the content rather than just choosing the most efficient leveling build and areas.

I am ok with having one of those challenges be a level threshold though. If you do so, at least keep it reasonable though. I'd say no more than 75. Also, I think all the challenges should be completable on a single character, so nothing like "Reach level 75 on 3 different classes". Given the whole concept of this race, obviously two of the challenges should involve killing warbands and experiencing the different tempests. I like the recent trend towards having the challenges involve "Complete X out of Y objectives". This can be used to make it so you need to find all the common/semi-common ones and maybe a couple of the rarer ones while not needing to find ALL of them. Not sure what the 4th challenge should be.

As for prizes, the golden seraph set looks like a perfect option to start with. Give out 1 piece for each challenge completed or level threshold reached. I think there do need to be at least some guaranteed prizes so you know that if you put a reasonable amount of effort in, you'll walk away with something to show for it. Maybe a few other random prizes as well, especially if you can get some physical items. And for the top players, you can toss in the usual demigods items or something.

I'd like to add that for people who think two weeks or even one week is better... I'd much prefer one month. It gives players a better chance to fully develop their characters. In some cases I think one week can be fine, but if you're going to have nicer/rarer prizes one month makes a lot of sense.

The trick is just keeping people engaged for the full month. If the league is fun and rewarding enough that shouldn't be too hard. For instance in the league with the armour, there wasn't much other reason to play it. Conversely, in the all mods league same thing. A combination of warbands/tempest with a great reward should cover both bases quite well.

Also, I'd like to reiterate that a guaranteed prize seems far better (even if it's nothing that special).

I need (NEED) Warbands items in Hardcore without paying 3ex per map. So Warbands+Tempest please :)

1 month free range bosses - The bosses are all out of their cages. The can spawn anywhere, at anytime even in each others rooms or taking the place of another boss. Who doesn't want to fight Merviel along side Daresso. Encountering Piety when you were expecting Hailrake. Map bosses being total out of line. "Lets run this map because the boss is easy, oh crap ....why is Dom in Gorge!!!" I think this would be an absolute riot and could lead to some glorious deaths. Double bossed Palace map with a little Malichai sandwiched in the middle anyone? Getting smashed by Vaal for breaking some eggs and picking on Rhoas! Even if you could not actually switch the bosses in the game progressions, just the thought of randomly encountering these bosses anywhere in the world would be awesome. Say goodbye to not paying attention while you are casually running through Ledge!
1 month Map mods active - All zones have random map mods on them. Pretty self explanitory but it would be fun. Once again it would make you pay attention while leveling. I think this would probably be best as each zone globally has random map mods the change every 10 minutes or so. If they were randomized locally and you didn't like the mods you would just open a new zone until you got "rolls" you liked

These two sound awesome, or even combined would be fun

Hi

Event type:
I prefer a flashback event with random mod.

Player Goals:
Reaching the top of the ladder > it represent only an inexistent % of the community, generally always the same people.
Reaching certain level thresholds > Fair enought to me but not if it is a drawing (some people are bad with RNG)
Completing challenges > fine if it's not a Mtx set ...(some people don't like set and prefer to make his own set with different single mtx like exile in general)

Prizes:
I would like to see specific single MTX for reaching a goal so people have to focus on what they want.
Example: reach lvlx give an unique or a challenge give footprint and an other give weapon animation.
Différent reward for different kind of play so everyone could be happy and satisfied.
Stash are great of course :p and sry for my english, Soul22.

flashback

I think a flashback system would be a lot more fun and here's why:

Majority of players that are playing right now are already enjoying Tempest & Warbands. Whilst bringing those together might be fun, I don't think the mix is *that* exciting.

On the other hand, a lot of players (I don't have statistics for this, I am speaking from personal experience, taking into account my friends' PoE playtimes as well), missed a few leagues past 1.1/1.2 and came back for 2.0. So for those - a flashback league would be very fresh and extremely fun.

Stash tabs as rewards, please.

Flashback definitely.

MTXs set similar to the Red & Blue sets from the previous would be nice, maybe Green/Purple/Orange?

OR...OR... A Physical set of divination cards for top 10 from SC & HC

Oh snap you read my mind was just thinking this!

I for one would vote Flashback with some mtx prizes. Golden Seraph would definitely work or perhaps one of the newer sets with a color change? Blue/Ghostly Inferno, Red Demon, White Necrotic etc.

As for the Flashback league, using existing and previously existing challenge league mods you can simply have the schedule set up like you did before. An idea would be an Unstable Flashback league, where mods change from zone to zone and are only able to roll 3-4 leagues except for heightened instability where they can roll up to all mods at once. This lets you control the general difficulty while keeping every zone feeling like a unique map while leveling.

Additionally to Unstable Flashback, side areas can always be set to ALL previous league mods or a majority of them. Side areas with bosses can be cranked even further by forcing ghosts and difficult mods to be higher in number or be around those bosses. Typically a lot of people skip side quests or don't go into the one off extra areas. Make these extremely unique i.e (5+ Exiles, and 10+ Ghosts, + more previously used league mods randomized at high values). This creates insane offshoots that do not disturb progression by any player but create a unique experience for players to have the motivation to go into these rarely visited side areas and challenge their build to push it to the limits.

Other ideas for the name of the league:
Temporal Flux
Unstable Flashback
Malachai's Nightmare


Just some feedback :)
