Season Nine, Event 1: 2 Hour Fixed Seed Famine

+1 to the 'this sucks brigade'

RIP SEASON 9

GGG DID A GOOD JOB THIS TIME /s

1.) Remove best race type (Desc:Champs)
2.) Use some boring vanilla race type for signature
3.) Cut prizes in half
4.) Less races, same point req.
5.) Every prize in scope of casuals is garbage
6.) ???
7.) Profit???

Season 9 == dead on arrival

Yup.

Should have listened to what the community wants.
Also should have provided us with score tiers,
to unlock several different uniques instead of giving everyone the same items.

Less quantity.
More quality.
More choices.
Better options.

But hey what the fuck do I know, right?

"full clear reward points"
ain't nobody got time for dat

Was really looking forward to this season. Now I'm sad, this is even worse then last time.

So I can play a game that I want to play anyway, for free, an average of once per day, for 30 days and probably get 3 cool rewards?

Seems fine to me.

What I don't understand is why. In season 7 hardly anyone played the fixed seed signature race which is why we got 40 min descent: champions in season 8. That was brilliant and well received. Now back to fixed seed? Doesn't make sense to me. Is there any reason why people should be discouraged from racing?

Seeing these changes take place, it almost feels like they only want the top players to race. This is a big FUCK YOU to potential new players and people who play casually.

Not only did they implement a more punishing system for anyone who doesn't excels at the game and/or is unable to play 24/7, but most of the races people deemed as being the most fun have been removed. Way to go GGG, that'll definitely motivate people taking breaks to come back, as well as bringing new players to the game, very smart decision.

On a side-note, I'm curious as to how many people are even gonna bother to keep racing once despite the bad changes, the first week is gone and the hype for a new Racing Season vanishes. I'm looking forward to seeing the numbers at the end of the season. Considering everything, that's gonna be better than the actual races... by a lot.

A 1000 pts structure for a 1 month long race season is borderline demented.

Can you list those 3 cool rewards for me? A Fencoil, a white ring and a Pyre. You must be kidding.
