I would dislike challenges like "Identify item X" "Redeem Cards Y" "Hoard Z Exalted Orbs". I am a bigger fan of the Diablo 3 challenges: Kill a rare mob of each kind, slay 1000 monkeys, survive Vaal smash etc. Maybe speed-run map X in time Y. Clear map with mod Z.

Yes! Give this man a beer.

Noob question here - and sorry if it was answered earlier.

I'm reading Warbands and Tempest leagues will end on October 2, and characters from those leagues will be moved to their parent leagues. But I assume there won't be a way to move those characters who were on Warbands/Tempest, From Standard/Hardcore to the next challenge league, correct?

If so, is it still "worth" keeping the first characters I made on Path of Exile (who are currently on Warbands) and play as them on Standard, or should I just make completely new ones for the next challenge league? They're only level 30-55 but I didn't exactly plan on abandoning them.

Thanks.

1 Month Races never used to give MTXs, I know people want more than a seraph set, but I think it's a pretty cool looking armor set! Plus, this way it will become this symbol of your participation in 1 months, like "AMG YOU HAVE GREEN AND YELLAR SERPAH" andd like "yeee". Idk I really like Seraph. I hope those discouraged with the golden one (it's gold man :D) are just a minority... cuz I want people to get pumped to get it.

I Can honestly understand and back up people saying that there should be separate colors for HC and SC. Because if I see anyone with that HC set for this one month, I would be seriously impressed! And that's what hardcore is about, taking on the challenge, and showing off the rewards.

I approve of the suggestions for the 1 month flashback leagues they stand.

• Having a single prize across the the leagues makes the event more accessible to completions
• Including the additional random draw prizes, encourages continued play, and adds a fun lotto to the mix
• Provide specific awards for those dedicated to being in the top spots, is great encouragement
• Flashback is just fun, and I like the pseudo-permanent inclusion of the two recent league mods, nice touch
• Giving the option for both a Standard version and Hardcore version has become a norm for these events, and I am glad to see it continue

I realize I do not know the numbers about player retention or any sort of drop off rate, but I am one player who would like to see the return to the full 4 month leagues. Hopefully I am not alone in this desire, but I am likely both in a minority, and not vocal enough.

So now again we have to wait over 1 month before you start the real leagues again? Just because of some stupid 1 month league, that half of the players dont play?

Thanks man. See ya in mid-now/dec..(maybe)

Sounds really good to me!

The only thing I'd possibly like to see but not a big deal is maybe final week has tempest + warbands at same time but understand if that's too much or some technical limitation.

Golden seraph set... thats kinda meh :[

ADD A TOKEN OF PARTICIPATION ALREADY

please, rito... ahem I mean ggg, for once use your collective brain.

think how many players would get to e.g. level 80 for e.g. a rhoa feather pimp hat. a guaranteed cosmetic item for everyone working towards that goal. not "you can win this and that with 0.000000001% chance" THAT IS NOT SOMETHING MOTIVATING PLAYERS TO PUT TIME AND EFFORT INTO A SHORT LEAGUE

give EVERYBODY a reason to participate already, not only the top 1%!!!


PS: needless to say, do this for EVERY event from now on. because every other online game is already doing it. every last one of them.

Cool.
Can we expect a fully functional brazilian server by then? It'd be pretty bad if only a few people could enjoy the brazilian servers while others still have trouble with the ISP (i am currently getting 300ms on br and 150 on texas).

I'm really, really hyped about these upcoming leagues and also the stash tab bundle rewards. That's awesome.

But I really think considering the difficulty of the mods, HC should at least be able to get different colored challenge reward sets & potentially more rewards in general. Yes I understand that may hurt some feelings of some people playing SC but you have to realize your progress in the game is usually hampered in HC by dying.

Examples:
--Dying and having to re-roll and get to the proper levels to complete said challenges, while keeping in mind that each time that might happen, the mods will be harder or easier than the first or other times
--Gearing up more than people in SC
--Spend more time farming for currency for said scarce gear that also disappears when you die
****and now on top of all of this, and having to consider all of the above when/if you die****
--Insane mods that will set you back to square ONE if your attention span happens to be shorter than usual that day.

Obviously dying in a hardcore league contributes to gold and gear sinks, that just vanish from the economy each and every rip. In less than a month the economy can't really be stable enough to make it nearly as far challenge-wise compared to SC. Ramping up the difficulty and making it far less attainable for those that also happen to work for a living. In turn, much less people would be getting the rewards than in SC. So why can't the smaller proportion of people that do attain those awards in HC get BETTER REWARDS?

I guess I propose that you make an attempt to give HC players a little prestige so they can have a reason to still play HC over SC by way of being rewarded more handsomely. I'm not saying those of us that play HC do it for the rewards necessarily -- we like the challenge -- but it'd be nice to have some bragging rights that do distinguish us from SC players.

And if HC did get better rewards, it'd be a great way to at least introduce more people in SC to give HC a shot. It may renew their interest in the game. In fact, if there was more incentive it *will* renew the interest of a huge chunk of SC players.
