Announcing the Two-Week Turmoil Event!

IMHO and in a short way said: Please make this Race voided and increase the augmented number (five) of mods to a number of 10+ (and increase Uberbyond from 20% to 30 - 40% with inc. density of mobs).

The mayhem event was (for me and I also think many others) a great success because of the increased number of each mod and the challange that came with it. Seriously 20 Exiles were hell of fun while leveling bc you had a challange in it to get threw the single area's as an example.

In races there shoudn't be the focus on "useing your mtx or not". Ofc each player paid for them but and it supports the game, but this is a race. Not a fashion contest. And imo the point in the race evnts is to make them with different and challanging mods. Races are supposed to be way harder / challanging / more fun (headhunter races) then the standard league version of the game. Also it will be possible in the near future to use your mtx also in voided races thx to the upcoming new MTX-System, right? So please make this voided and more of a challange. We can use our mtx's in the upcoming races anyway.

Also it would be nice, if we could get some new prices for the top player of each AC in the future (even when I will never get one bc I can't invest so much time off from work).

Question: Will league specific uniques be able to drop in a zone with the corresponding mod this time?

It won't be possible to get league specific uniques this way.

I think that is kind of an odd approach. Thought in a recent post the GGG techs were too busy to make modifications for this event. There shouldn't be a restriction for Mod league items to not have a chance to drop. On that same logic I bet you are blocking Cadiro from selling league specific items. What are you GGG folks thinking?

Seems better to stay on Legacy in that respect. Always seems to be a catch no matter where it comes from.

I'm sorry GGG but this race is a total disappointment. The incentive for playing Mayhem was the added difficulty and fun, not getting 2 weeks worth of items and currency.

I really think you should reconsider making this a non-voided event, because this doesn't seem challenging or fun at all.

I was hoping that we would get an even more over-the-top race that would be more difficult than Mayhem.

Is that you long lost brother!!?? It seems we share the same mindset.

Agreed. BLAMT or something challenging like that for the 2 week race would have been epic!

honestly just toning down mayhem to make it non voided seems like a waste of what could have been a fun 2 week voided race with interesting mechanics instead.

The second week of Mayhem race almost nobody played it. Just top guys who still had a chance for Demi. That's the price of race being voided.

Everytime I try to escape I just get pulled back in.

Well played GGG!

I played LSC ad nauseam, more than any league before it. I have 4 fully equipped characters with 100+ ex to spare. It was great fun, but right now economy is virtually non-existant. It's even worse in LHC. Last few days I was trying to get one char to level 90 there (just for HC achievements), and I had to play it almost SSF because nobody is online.

This race will almost be like a start of a new league, with fresh economy and many players willing to trade. :)

I've always avoided trading, so I didn't consider the economic aspects since they are moot to me. It is a valid point, but I would still argue that these races should be focused on enhancing the gameplay and trying to achieve something fun and interesting contrary to a long-term stable economy (that's what leagues are for, although were in a weird place right now where legacy is "dead" and beta isn't accessible to all, so I understand your point of view).

GGG could make an interesting and unique race without making it super difficult. But then they would have to do something other than just adding mods. If adding a few mods is what they can do right now because of lack of resources, then they have to make it excessive and difficult since otherwise it is just "half a league" if you take my meaning?

I think they could double or triple these active mods and still keep it non-voided. We've had flashback events and a 1month darkshrine that wasn't voided for instance.
