Are there any particular reason why the timing of these events, always follow American time and not European, Australian or another time zone?
As a European I find it quite annoying to have this start, and presumably end, in the middle of the night, where people with jobs and family, have absolutely no chance to participate.
People outside the preferred time zone get less time (if they require sleep) to achieve the same things and it seems quite unfair.
At least have the starting times change from league till league, so next time it starts in favour of the Australian or European

Thank you for making two different leagues for the people who enjoy softcore or hardcore and for giving us a choice.

However, I do not feel its appropriate that the prizes are drawn from the same pool and feel this simply takes away the incentive to play the hardcore version.

To me this feels like diminishing the hardcore experience because there's no "extra" benefit from playing hardcore except seeing your character die and go to standard and having to start over.

Please, at least make the prizes be drawn from two separate pools - this would also give people an incentive to play both softcore and hardcore as to have a higher chance of getting a prize.

Right now I feel inclined to just level a char to 70 in the 1w softcore (should take me like a day, two at most) and then go back to whatever I was doing in standard or hardcore because, why bother?

GGG, you need to rethink this.

^this.

I do believe that drawing rewards from same pool for both leagues will kill the interest of mid-lvl players in the HC version of the event. *snip*

Doesn't it say "In addition, the top five players (from each event) by experience will receive an alternate-art Demigod's Eye." ?
I think this means top five hardcore and top 5 normal, no?

For the rest of us (who won't get a top 5 spot) we enter the draw regardless of which league we play in, and if prizes are our motivation (it sure as hell isn't mine) leveling to 70 in standard and call it a day will always be the best tactics.
