Community Race Event This Weekend!

I love watching these; gonna have a drink and look forward to some RIPs

That's really awesome, gl & hf everyone.

And sorry, but for the first time after years and years D2 will have priority!

i like video games

Make races for everyone not for just a small handful of people, this is pathetic ggg

Bring back official Races.

I joined this game hitting multiple races a day/week, now look at us...

Community organises races for streamers only, instead GGG organising races where everyone can participate... sad.

I'm just wondering how this doesn't go against, "Restrictions: Under no circumstances, without the prior written approval of Grinding Gear Games, may you:

mainly that last part "Perform in-game services during your use of the Website, Materials or Services for any form of compensation outside of PoE." Providing a private race with a monetary compensation?

I miss the GGG races with alternate art up for grabs... :(

RIP.

I've accepted quite a few people who've messaged me. I ask for some things to verify a seriousness for the event but it's not exclusive by any means. People can get into the race fairly easily.

I was initially very hyped, but when I read your thread, it doesn't seem like it:

"we require at least one participant on each team to be streaming."

"The race is over when two teams hit 85."

and first of all:

"Please if trying to enter into race have some racing history, a vouch from someone in the race or a good VOD. Looking for sub-2h A5 Kitava or sub-4h A10 Kitava both with labs (excluding Merc Lab in A10 run) and skill points done. "

And this is when my hype was destroyed. It's announced on the main website as news with encouragement to sign up, while in reality applicable candidates are probably like 0.01% of PoE community, so I would say this is an exclusive event...

I still want to signup and give it a try with my friend, but if I will do so, I will just ignore the rules and conditions specified by you.

Just to be sure: No hard feelings, I am very happy that something like this is happening, even if not to play, I cant wait to tune in and watch it. I just wanted to point out that "not exclusive" and "fairly easily" are in a bit of contradiction with actual requirements.

Cheers!

Well, the requirement to enter the race is because I fund the race myself and it keeps costs low. Those aren't difficult things if you can do them I should say. As in anyone who can do those times can enter the race.

In regards to the streaming thing, this is the only race I've had any requirement and that's only the requirement so that I can assure no one cheats the no trading or grouping up outside the duo rule. In solo races of the past I've not had a streaming requirement.
