Upcoming patches and race events

I want test! pls ;D

Wished 1 week race:

1 Week Turbo HC +cut Throat( Grindis better give up reaching ledge normal for your betrayal :p)



To Test something new here are some ideas.

Alternative ideas I had that require some coding before they can be used.
Normal/Turbo HC Race Random Boss map, so either all maps from 60-69 drop in merciless but cannot be idientified or the boss is random so for example you could get Vaal instead of Fidelitas in Overgrown Ruin. That would stop people try to evade bosses.

Alternative. Maps with Random level, so there are level 60-69 Dried Lake maps


Turbo Power Mode:70% Speed, Monsters got 700% more hp and do 70% more damage but lose 100% hp each 24h and 10% damage and 10% speed.

Pain Party Race: If one member in your party dies in Cruel+ the surviving members lose experience.


Break Down Race: If you farm certain areas too often you lose 1 level.

Random Mapmod Monster Party Race: Entering Terraces normal the area gets a random map mod.
Cruel 2 Ruthless 3 and Merciless 4 map mods.


1 Class Race: All players must play the same class.

1 Build Race: All players are forced to play 1 build each class(uncommon of course such as sword ranger etc)

Does that mean open beta wont start during first half of december?

i would like to try out the cut through league too


ps i rly enjoied the turbo league with faster mobs and casting finally smth challanging

plz add such a league as a default one hardcore is fine because its not allowed to die but the default league is just boring , way to easy if its allowed to die add an option that you will loose like 10 lvl if you dieor smth or even better a default league where the mobs would gain 20 percent cast speed and movement speed increase after every difficulti that would make the default league more attractive



ps i got a beta key to spend FRA6W-RR85F-LJHYN-2GUXC have fun

It may be crazy but..

One Week Turbo Hardcore Cut Throat Solo

or as I like to call it, Highlander Week.

HOLY SHIT ^ THIS! xD
Even though I know I'll be killed in the first hour or so, it'd still feel like highlander action!

It might just be a crazy enough idea to have a "highlander" league every 8 days or so during the public beta (or some multiple of 7 + 1 to ensure it starts on a different day to allow every one a fair chance)

+1 Because there's little thats Hardcore about Hardcore when partying allows any player to be carried though the tough spots by others.

One thing I'd like to know is how come some people have several Demigods? Not that I want one, the stats don't suit me. But seriously maybe some other people deserve them more then the same old racers over and over again.

Those players have several demigods because they win. Other people dont deserve them more because they dont win. Races are competitive events so i wouldnt expect this to change. Also keep in mind that everyone starts with a clean slate in races, so its not like the repeat winners have some unfair advantage over everyone else.

Please do not make a week long solo event ever. Please do not make a week long cut throat event ever.

The data gained from long term solo events would be of huge value in balancing the game. It also caters to another playstyle, and a popular one at that. Why would we not want this? Those who dont like the league rules can just skip it anyway; its not like the main leagues are shut down during events.

I absolutely do not want to see a 1+ week event with trading restricted. With no trading its just a rng luckfest unless you run a standard build for the classes due to lack of selection of support gems. The last thing I want, is to forced into a particular cookie cutter build because certain supports aren't available at all. Even with trading possible in the 1 week, it was terrible getting some supports. Even though I tend to solo, trading is necessary.

I had the same issue in the last 1-week; i chose a build that required a ton of off-color gear and off-class supports and got shafted by the low player count and resulting inability to trade. That said, id like to see both trade-enabled and trade-disabled long term solo events, as both have their competitive merits and give different, but equally useful feedback. Im also only speaking of long term solo events here; as i mentioned earlier in the thread, trading has no place in short term solo races.

In all seriousness, I dislike the combination of Turbo and HC. HC alone is great. Turbo alone is great.

Combine the two and you're just dying and restarting a LOT more than usual. I think Turbo would lend itself well to non-HC in that it's a game of attrition as much as it is one of skill.

I agree with this.. As a racer I have not even been to act 2 in a turbo race. Brutus is too annoying to fight as a witch :/ I dont like having to hope that I wont get desync then comboed to death instantly.

Maybe there should be a 1 week non hardcore turbo league. It would allow people to try to learn more how turbo should be played rather than getting to a point trying something and if it fails game over. :/ I would kill brutus for like 2 hours straight to figure out wtf I am supposed to do. I do have an idea of something I will be trying in the next one but if it fails then I am out of ideas...

After reading some more posts I have changed my mind about trading in solo on longer leagues. I think 0 trading no matter the duration in solo is better now but.. its not terrible if it was allowed in long leagues at least.

About about the people with a lot of demi gods... One team wins every hardcore party race with usually the same people every time. I wouldn't say they all deserve as many demi gods as they have. Some get carried in the party race then its pretty much a free demi god since a solo player has no chance without playing marauder. Which is why I have suggested in open beta hopefully they will allow you to choose if you want to compete with party players or solo players at the start of each race so then every one is happy.
