Thanks! Corrected now.

Now that PVP is on why not having a Cut-Throat Race, so players can prevent the same players to be in the lead positions all the time?

Also 4 hours are crying for Cut Throat.

I am going to need to think up some strategy for witch lol.. 4 hours will be completely different than what I normally do. Exciting though having to do something different.

That would be an interesting race. QQ is bound to ensue but it would definitely be entertaining. I could foresee some visceral competition for class top 5. Good luck catching Panda though as he'd likely gun for fastest progress instead of sticking around in cruel ledge for grinding. You can't kill someone if you can't catch them :)

Who says cruel ledge? The first class to kill hillock is shadow.


And leveling on ledge is really common.
4 hours? Doh! now I have to actually try and finish act 2 instead of farming it.

Will be interesting to see how big the level gap is between classes (I personally think clearing act 2 is MUCH faster for some classes than others).

I also doubt I survive this race as I'm going to be trying to run through vaal/pyramids instead of clearing them, but it should be fun regardless. There are just some places my ranger/shadow absolutely hate and these are them!

Will be interesting to see if anyone tries for ruthless. I think a couple people can probably make it (I won't even be trying if I make cruel)

I'd also love to see a cutthroat race (non Europe Friendly time please!). I do agree though that if panda rushes through, you'd never catch him to even try and stop his progress lol.
