Sooo, basically you like the race because it's easy to pretend it's not a race. I think the point values on this need to be lowered, it's pretty insane that you can get 8 points in an hour race while not even trying to 'race'. Or at least lower the time limit down to 40(?) minutes to create some pressure to finish more quickly. Or maybe I'm just salty. Yeah well without a top speed computer how is someone like me ever going to have a chance huh? These races give someone like me a reason to play, I try to get fast at other races I maybe just need some coaching i usually go magma orb and totem but Brutus is always a tough fight for me.

Uh yea i get to lvl 8 kill brutus by 18 mins and log... like most people who actually compete in the race season edit* boom, rank 15, actually practice racing and participate in most. Try hard to learn game and do well. Still will only get like 3 more points than someone who just sees race as a joke and free points. Doesn't make much sense from the eyes of racers who actually are doing it for the competition. I understand the fun factor and giving people a reason to race, but there's no reward in it for those who actually take the time to be good at racing compared to those who just see easy points. High reward, low risk is my basic argument i guess. Just my 2 cents, nothing to get your panties in a bundle over Last edited by BlueThingPro on Jul 29, 2015, 5:19:09 PM	Posted by BlueThingPro on Jul 29, 2015, 4:59:48 PM Quote this Post

Hmm, now I wonder if bothering with: Spoiler was a good idea or not, had to turn two more corners in upper to get lv 8 for it and then go to town to grab them. ProjectPT was right.	Posted by passofexhale on Jul 29, 2015, 5:16:18 PM Quote this Post

High reward, low risk is my basic argument i guess. Just my 2 cents, nothing to get your panties in a bundle over I've highlighted the rewards exclusive to the best racer(s). There's plenty of extra points available for those who are great at racing. If you wish to achieve that level, you'll need to practice more. The very best don't give a hoot about the points. It's about demis. Get better, get after those and stop worrying about the rest of us who don't play PoE professionally. :)	Posted by Deleted on Jul 29, 2015, 5:58:12 PM
I try to race as often as I can and even when I do, I'm not that fast. Killed Brutus in 39 minutes at lvl 9. One day I'll be faster... better than last season tho! :D	Posted by TaxE1736 on Jul 29, 2015, 5:58:25 PM Quote this Post
