I'm so excited for these events thanks GGG.

Some of this community is just so terribly toxic, as can be seen in this thread, but please keep on doing what you're doing. It IS appreciated by most of us.

Here here! Many of us are excited for the realization of PvP in PoE.

I honestly think that as far as "non-technical" (i.e. desync, fps issues) things go, working on PvP is one of the more important things for me.

I will be participating in the upcoming cut throat events and giving as much helpful feedback as I can, stick with it GGG.

Sounds good, will try it :)

Is this going to be softcore only? That is to scrubby. I thought GGG was a hardcore company....

I love how people still find something to complain about on a FREE game. Anyway, this looks like fun... I'll have to check it out and get owned -.-

VERY VERY excited for this. Ty so much for a hostile button.

So instead of working on real issues with the game you're worry about cutthroat leagues... errrr... okay??

why do we see this everytime chris makes a post? it really is irritating.

Because everyone chooses to ignore the fact that CT has been in the plan and works much longer than most of the complainers have even been around here.

I am not even a fan of the CT events, and have found my play time dwindling as of late due to frustration with game issues, but I still understand that when you promise a community something, eventually you have to get off your ass and give it to them.

I see no issue with it.

Now if only we could get the trade system going as well.

This is a separate short-duration league that has its own stash (as usual). At the end of the event, characters and stashed items will be moved to Standard.

Standard CT sucks.

You got no indicator if somebody died several times already. Add a number of deaths in the Invasion screen or so.

Do you enjoy players finding crap? I don't want to kill players dropping white trash.

Guess why the SC CT didn't look different than HC CTs in the results?
Players pick up the weapons or linked items and sell them at the vendors. They don't want players to make a comeback for sure because they want Rare and Unique drops not trashy whites.

There's a PvP damage multiplier because players start with a lot more life than they do damage. This multiplier will be adjusted substantially based on feedback from this event and others.

Remove this multiplier.
There is no need 50%+ of the players die at the coast already.

The Multiplier and Crits is incredibly broken. I remember getting one Shot by crappy crit burning arrow.

"

Non-partied players only show up on the map if they're nearby.

This is bad because I hate it to search for players in longer CT events.
If you got a long CT and somebody is grinding in for example Imperial Gardens how do you wanna find him?
There are 4 possible exits.
The area is really big and I already had the experience that that better racers do a good job hiding because they don't leave long corpse paths.

Portals cannot be used until they have been up for five seconds after they have been cast.

Does this include TPs popping in town now? Or is it still the same?

A major issue in party CTs was that a party of six had a hunter with 3 QS flasks he popped a TP once he got close and 5 damage dealers ganged up on you.
I believe it's still the same setting as ever but this needs to be fixes when there are Party CTs.

"

There's now a level limit on entering areas that contain other players. If you're much higher level than the lowest level player in the area, or much lower level than the highest level player, you can't join. Let us know what you think about the numbers we chose and we can tweak them for subseuqent events.

I told you 3 levels already in the Season 2 CTs.
After level 40 you the steps should be gem levels.

Simple reason: Level 4 gems vs level 1 gems.
Tribal Maul vs Driftwood Maul etc.

Also make it only high players can't invade lows not the opposite.

"

Players may not party up in this event. We are going to experiment with parties-with-friendly-fire in future ones.

Make sure that minions also attack parties players and that Flicker Strike, Totems,Traps and Mines trigger too.


Will there be a CT without Glacial Hammer XD

"

Get yo glacial hammers ready boys.

Don't you rather mean. Mule Glacial Hammer and get your duelist ready?

i dont think that it's a good idea that you lose all your equipped items in a permanent/longer league ... maybe 1 random item would be fair and encourage more pvp and longterm motivation
