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

bs league

i think some people are reading to much into this i am not refusing to play the league in SC or care if goes to HC or SC it can go to void league like some one said to me no difference i just like the idea of ppl dieying including myself is that bad? :)
if not a exp penality would be cool starting normal or something.
i prefer hardcore in all leagues and this is a 1 month special i would like it to be hardcore but like some one siad some ppl dont like it... but how about making it more .... taxable on death then? should not be a problem? ;)

I was waiting for this 1 month league and then you guys say there is NO HC????? WHY , WHY , WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

So I have to wait another month for new league then... I can't enjoy games like these without HC. And there are plenty of people like me. I had around 10-15 friends who were coming to play and all canceled now.

I think it would be cool if they kept the same idea, but instead of deaths not mattering, how about if you die you just become ineligible for a reward, but are still considered a part of the league. For someone like myself who can only play 1-2 hours a day during the week max it would be nice if I died to not have to restart the league and make a new character, but still be able to enjoy being a part of the race without the chance of "winning" and this way people can still be elitists about their placement on the ladder for having not died.

I'm gonna be honest, my primary concern is that I'm wasting my time playing softcore since it'll roll to standard, I'm not saying making it a void league would be a fix, but that is already what it feels like to anyone that was hoping to use this race as a way to buffet there hardcore currency.

GGG said after nemesis that the midtime would be an excellent time to consolidate your wealth. Hardcore players gain no wealth from this, that is why I said the void league comment. It is no fix, and likely wouldn't cause me to play it either, but it is what hardcore players get out of a softcore league.

+1 vote for a hardcore league with all crazy mods.

OR split mods in areas, like box areas and invasion areas, we want some fun,

softcore is dead and boring ._.

Just create a toon in Hardcore league and play there, guys. [Removed by Support]

If boxes were being integrated to the core game for the 1 month I would happily do just that

I don't understand why everyone is so tore up about this. this is a sweet blend of mods that will keep it interesting honestly. but just goes to show that you cant make everyone happy. you could say everyone would start at lvl 80 and ppl would be pissed. not trying to troll, just an observation.

Right now as I'm typing there are 3 public games in a3/merci hardcore. Hardcore wasn't that well populated before nemesis but it was "playable" Part of the appeal of hardcore (for me at least) is being able to sell items or boss kills in a hardcore economy. Since its hardcore many more people will pay for a boss kill rather than risk dieing and also people are dieing and regearing making most items more valuable and easier to sell to a point. That point is when theres nobody playing on the server. Like right now vanilla hardcore has 3 public games up, like invasion turned into a ghost town early in. I'd rather play softcore because its too dead in hardcore to enjoy the league and sad when you're almost limited to your friends list only in terms of grouping. I like hardcore, I'd rather play hardcore but unless you incentivize it more theres no draw and it will probably remain stagnant. I truly feel the biggest mistake made was making invasion the hardcore league and ambush the softcore league. You took a popular league and gave it the most insane (basically free) rewards we've had since CB racing for currency prizes. To make it worse you gave the smaller less popular league zero reward incentive and increased the difficulty to basically a RNG of being one shot, possible to avoid invaders but in no means fun always thinking some off screen invader could chunk you down worse then an end game boss. If you want a challenge league hardcore to be played you need to rethink how you incentivize the league versus the softcore counterpart, then maybe there would be enough active hardcore players to justify not making this upcoming 1 month softcore. Hopefully the game is still being developed to appeal to hardcore players and the next 4 month challenge leagues we see a better structured system for player rewards then this past fiasco.

Personally I feel the layout for this 1 month to be boring and I'm somewhat let down that this is supposed to keep people interested in the game until the new challenge leagues. The fact that its softcore doesn't bother me that much because of the reasons above. The description says "Domination: Shrines are already present in the core game and we feel that ramping up their rate to create a sixth property isn't really necessary." well we already have rares with nemesis mods, and adding turbo to a league is hardly exciting. We already have rouge exiles so its basically just adding mods from the last 2 leagues we just played for 4 months to other leagues content that we've had all along, yay. Considering the stash from this league goes to softcore you couldn't have added anything in the way of "more rewarding" than adding back ambush chests for some of the time, and the lol of inner treasure buffs?
