Looking good GGG guys. Great job, would just like to request a nice time slot in EST next season, like 5PM-7PM, school work and what not.

It *looks* like the 2nd week of March the earlier evening races will start at 5pm EST. I'd rather that was pushed back at least another hour, but beggars can't be choosers, 5pm will make me ecstatic.

They could reward currency, but they'd HAVE to remove level thresholds as part of the currency rewards, or just limit those thresholds to very elite levels. There are going to be so many people competing in these races handing out 20 orbs just because you got to level 20 in a 2 hour race would be STUPID. They figured this out and learned from it.

If you don't like the rewards, shut up and don't race! They'll figure out pretty quickly that they borked up the rewards and they'll adjust it properly for season 2. Instead, you're all complaining and we all know 95%+ of you complaining (about race rewards) will STILL be participating in plenty of races.


No one has asked for 20 orbs for 2 hour races.
There is nothing wrong with expressing an opinion about the game, it is in beta......thats kind of the point. A ton of people want something different. Even if we did what you said, and "shut up" and dont race......how will the devs know why we don't race if no one tells them??

Granted, there are some folks who just want big rewards for little effort.....but MOST people in this thread have valid, and fair recommendations. Accompanied by constructive reasoning why, and suggestions for improving the system.

Which is much more useful than your hate-filled complaining.

Where's the hate? You're jumping to conclusions and reading things I didn't write. 20 orbs from level 20 was a closed beta reference, they learned from that. Hence why I said they learned from it directly after stating it.

And I'll bet you'll still race even after complaining, so you'll be proving their rewards to be just fine. Like I said, actions speak louder than words, if you want them to listen, give them a reason to listen, if you complain then compete, you're wasting your breath.

Come on guys, stop complaining so much :(

These guys are bringing you this game for free.

They have stated they will change the setup if setup isn't good.

Let's try this season and see how it goes.

I for one look forward to this and I'm ready to win.

Thank you devs.
There can only be one Oatmeal.
Jank rewards for so much time invested......
sounds really good - much better system that the previous one.

although the burning ground sounds like a bad idea to me and i think some other players with low end computers. i can do maps with burning ground allright but it does slow the fps down alot and i would find very unpleasent to participate in a race that had burning ground everywhere.

apart from that everything sounds so fantastic - keep the good stuff comming.

I actually really like the idea of creating races with map characteristics (blood magic, burning ground, increased mob damage, pack size, no regen). I know it's kind of an endgame concept, but it would add so much diversity in participating in races, and allow even more theory crafting in terms of what is/could be efficient in the specific league. Right now, I'm not really motivated in doing races, because they are purely time based, and it's the same gameplay and content every time.
Great stuff guys. Appreciate how much work you put into a game lot of people play for free.

So are you only rewarded for levels? Would be cool if progress could affect your points.
