0.9.11 One-week Hardcore Ladder Race
|
Standard rules for league events apply. Please click this link if this is your first race event.
To receive additional 0.9.11 balance feedback from a restricted economy, and due to high demand, we'll be running a one-week hardcore league. The event will run from noon New Zealand time on Monday (August 27 2012). This is 5pm Sunday, Pacific time. Here is a link for more time zone conversions. It will run until the same time one week later. The top ten players will receive a Demigod's Presence (Unique Amulet). The top players will also receive microtransaction credit for use in our cosmetic shop. This credit will last forever, so you can spend it in Open Beta when we have more things for you to purchase!
For the following prizes, we will examine only the highest level character on each account that is still alive at the end of the race. The list of random currency items that will be awarded is here. All characters over level 75 will receive 128 random currency items. All characters over level 70 will receive 64 random currency items. All characters over level 60 will receive 32 random currency items. All characters over level 50 will receive 24 random currency items. All characters over level 40 will receive 16 random currency items. All characters over level 30 will receive 8 random currency items. Please note that the above currency prizes are lower than the previous two week event. This is intentional - the purpose of this event is for the fun of the competition, rather than a way to get rich. | |
" In the case of two characters getting the exact same exp value, the character that reached that exp value first is the one that wins. This is reflected in the current ladder positions as they are right now. Path of Exile II - Game Director

Okay, after a second reading of the code and database documentation, my previous understanding of how the tie-break would work was incorrect.
Currently one of the two characters will always be above the other regardless of when they arrived at the experience value that they currently have. I'm pretty sure that that ordering is determined by the creation order of the characters. I am going to change the behaviour in the next patch so that it works in the way I described above (it's just changing a flag on the database table), but I can't change it now.

Prizes have been awarded, congratulations! Microtransaction points have been added to your accounts, and any currency item (and Demigods) prizes are on a new character on your account as usual.
Fayded (Psyk) and PandaNoMore (NotThat) had a prize split and have been declared as coming tied for first. Congrats, guys! |
