Announcing the One-Month Leagues (and Ambush/Invasion Challenge Winners)

Pretty sure it's been said already many times, but have to make my statement, the fact that it is not a HC race being this hyped for the 1 month was very saddening to hear, pretty deflated now, and probably skipping the race, and quite possibly PoE all together (barring some build experiments for next league) until the next 4 month now with this news.

By any chance could there be a HC variant of this race? So both sides are happy? I know there are a lot of people that are happy that it is a softcore race, but there are a lot of other players who love hardcore mode that are just tattering in despair that there is no hardcore race at all.

If the situation were inversed, I would not be happy you were sidelined. As others have said, as a gap-fill league, this really needs both options.

I happen to be on the HC side, and if we are in fact sidelined, I hope you have fun, I really don't want to wait either.

i dont like Onslaught part, this was boring when league started and 20% AS+MS in sinergy with
gonna be deadly
actually with any mob this boost is HUGE

I'm very disappointed GGG. I would think the idea would be to encourage people to try and play HC, not the other way around. At what point have you stopped listening to user feedback? This is not the GGG I remember. There have been complaints about users being forced to play softcore as their main league because of the challenges. Then you go and do the same thing again only worse this time because now you are not giving an alternative at all.

Please reconsider this. If you want to do a softcore league that's fine, but you should provide alternative for hardcore players. There is really no need for balancing two leagues. Just doing the same one twice, one SC and one HC would do - I think most people playing HC will agree. This set of previous leagues mods sounds very challenging and fun, but it's completely ruined when the challenge is removed by being SC.

I was really hyped for the 1month, wanted a new start so bad.
Now that it's SC, my dreams are crushed. I see no point in playing a league, when I know i end up in SC that has no use for me. I planned to level a char, that I can use later on in HC but no - sc 4 life ☻ ; also level 80 for a 1month? should have set like 95 to make it atleast a bit challenging. Gonna level to 80 for the raffle entry but not more probably.

when i started reading i was hoping for all mods at the same time. so nemesis mobs and rogue exiles hitting you in the face at the same moment as invaders. but like that.. kinda meh. and no hc league available eather, means most of everyone who plays hc is not gonna play this league =/

Non hardcore--so the players that can spend the most amount of time and abandon rl will "win". Like always, nothing I want to participate in.

Sad...

I do not like these formats...
always the fastest and the ppl that invest the most amount of time get prices.

I think its time for more challenging races..

.. only selected characters are allowed
.. restricted item list
.. u can play only 8 hours a day so more players got a real chance and not only pro gamers.

Devil~

Hmm... I think that people would agree that new hardcore specified content is not needed for this 1 month league... A copy of the softcore version with hardcore mode instead, is all that people are asking for..? I dont think that should be too time consuming to make - or am I wrong here?

Skipping this one, pretty disappointed :(

Sorry if it's already stated in the thread but I'm wondering one thing.
Ambush and Onslaught

As we all know, there are strongboxes with the mod: Revives all nearby corpses with Onslaught
Do those revived monsters then have double Onslaught, meaning 40% increased monster movement, attack and cast speed?
