Season One, Race Event 5: Three Hour Party

How do you enter or do you just have to be online then and make a charecter?

30 minutes before each race, a special league for that race is created. you simply make a character in that league to enter.

is it possible to participate in the party events as a solo player and still earn RP?... Surely you aren't forced to party?

Jesus GGG can you make a better HC races. These timing are horrible why there is a 3am race? at least in the future try put races starts at 2pm or 5pm and so on. Because not everyone have time on these bases, but anyway nice job starting HC race we get to roll on some real fun ^^.

Different time zones

More variety in time please.

(long rant)

I don't understand... There is mention that you tried to keep a variety of times for these events so that people had better access to them... but what I see is just events placed at 1 of 4 times in a day... consistently the same time... on random days. This isn't variety. This is,

"Hey... it looks like tough shit for you if you work a regular schedule that isn't in line with ours."

Thanks for every single event I can go to, I have to be 1-1.5 hours late or leave 1-1.5 hours before it ends. Thanks for that. I worked very hard to get a consistent job with hours that don't budge... and now my favorite game runs events in a 'variety' of time zones that just so happen to always be the same. (apologies, I can run in a few events, but I'm mad.)

I don't understand the logic of saying you want as many people as possible to have access, but you use a very restraining time... Anyone working in retail on the eastern coast probably hates you right now.

Looking to join this race. Need a team. can someone invite me to theirs.

I have played all 4 races.

got points in first 3 and placed in top 25% in each. died to desync in 4th race at caverns of anger.

willing to do a practice run today like in an hour.

In some ways I agree with you, and as it stands it sucks balls for some parts of the world. If they evenly spaced the time slots at 6 hour intervals through each 24 hour time period, and had a daily +1 hour cycle rotation. It would offer the whole world an opportunity to enter some races over the space of a week.

It looks like GGG is chasing the money at the moment by trying to keep NA and EU mostly happy so they keep spending on the game, which in turn keeps the game in development and upgrades the servers etc. I can't blame them for this, as it makes sense to do so at the moment so they can keep things ticking over. I just hope that once the game is complete or more self sufficient, that they evolve the race program into a global one.


As a comparison to your situation, you could spare a thought for New Zealand players, the times for us are 12am, 6am, 10am, 4pm. I sleep from 12am-6am, work from 7am-5pm and miss out on all races except for a couple of the weekend ones, which most of the time I'm too knackered from working all week to play in anyway. I doubt I'll ever get over the trauma of not being able to play in these races, and think I'll need counselling or therapy for the rest of my life in order to cope with it.

tl;dr First world problems mate. Life is inconvenient, get used to it.

zzz fire trap/psn arrow getting kinda dumb, everyone is abusing it
