Announcements - Race Season Two Announced! - Forum

More races, more races, and just in my favourite times: somewhere between 60 and 90 or very short like 12 (those are really fun :D) Much props big ups and one love and all that. Yo.	Posted by Dechef on Apr 17, 2013, 5:25:24 AM Quote this Post

There is a huge 4 hour gap between 8PM - 12AM races, an additional 10PM races would be nice and greatly appreciated. Edit: " Mr_Cee wrote: Since it seems the events run more or less automated now, can you consider to adjust the race times a bit for us europeans? Since the change due DST here, 7pm is quite hard to manage, and 11pm nearly impossible for races >30 min (maybe >1hr for some others) before working days... [hint: 9pm would be a nearly perfect spot for many I talked to] ^^ 9PM in your timezone is 10PM for me so also +1. Not that I don't feel bad for your "huge 4 hour gap", but in the US East time zone, our options are 5 pm and 11 pm. I would LOVE to have an 8 pm option - at least once in a while. I have no idea why GGG chose to completely ignore the most popular leisure time in the most populated area of the US; hopefully enough folks will jump in here and convince them to add another race time around 8-9 US East time.

Thank you GGG for listening to the community, partially at least. I think the signature event is a good step in the right direction to please all timezones. Now imagine every race is a signature event and repeats 5-6x during season + 260races/5-6 = Every timezone could do every race event. It only depends on skill how many points you get, not on your timezone ;)	Posted by 1zock on Apr 17, 2013, 5:36:47 AM Quote this Post
Thanks for putting in times that work for New Zealand. Enjoyed what I could make in Season 1, but Season 2 is looking amazing - being able to run a race on weekday evenings is going to be awesome. Cheers.	Posted by Highonfire on Apr 17, 2013, 5:47:26 AM Quote this Post

" paraspam wrote: Why are the races all about who gets the most xp instead of who progresses farthest? I would like progression based racing aswell. All races in the current racing format will, just as last season, end in X hours @ your favourite exp spot. Which isn't very interesting. =/ If instead people would spend the last minutes of a race sprinting through new zones or trying to squeeze in boss fights while under-leveled it would be far more interesting and more Race-like. Just my 2 cents - ZG	Posted by ZapperGhandi on Apr 17, 2013, 6:07:55 AM Quote this Post
" ZapperGhandi wrote: I would like progression based racing aswell. ... and more Race-like. ... Oh yes, I really think the spirit of such a race would be more race-like! The last portion of the race would probably be very interesting. There could be races to kill an act boss first, or clear all quests on an act first etc.	Posted by TranquilQuake on Apr 17, 2013, 6:18:46 AM Quote this Post
" If you can manage to get to the one point level threshold in races, you will be eligible for the random draw prizes. How difficult is it to get over the 1 point threshold? If I play around 1-2 events a week, with being new to this thing so probably more at the far end of the rankings, would I achieve at least 200 points (so 20% of what is considered the top). What sort of probabilities are we talking about for random draw prizes per point earned? Similar to dropping an exalt (which is never in my case) or bigger?
