Yay, shorter races! 4 hour or even 3 hour races, during the time of day (late afternoon for me) when I am usually sleepiest, is really quite tiring. I think I will be able to handle these 2 hour races much better. Alteration Orb Union Local #7 "Holding the line, on sixteen to one!"	Posted by VoxelSquid on Nov 14, 2012, 8:55:48 PM Quote this Post
I agree, I prefer shorter races. I'm not sure I will participate as the currency rewards that got me hooked on races have been nerfed into oblivion, but 2 hours for ~25 orbs has me at least interested. Knowing 90% of those orbs will almost certainly be orbs of little to no value (or just completely useless to me) hurts that interest, though.

Hope I get decent amount of luck this time... I dont ask for rares, just G-G linked whites and few transmute orbs would do it...	Posted by Guilherme84 on Nov 17, 2012, 8:06:56 AM Quote this Post

First thing I do when I finally hit western some 5 levels behind the leaders, die. Rushing too much with crap gear tends to do that. Good luck to the ones left. Not a single death message that I've seen so far, not nearly as exciting as a solo race, no close finishing, just watching groups clear stuff in half the time and get bonus xp for doing it together. I honestly think even if I had the best drops ever I wouldn't keep up. Then again I'm just not very good. Maybe groups just are not for me, Ill see you all at the next solo race if I can make it :) Have fun and stay safe.	Posted by Drystion on Nov 17, 2012, 5:27:16 PM Quote this Post

It'd be nice to have one of each race per week at the standard time as well as the Euro-friendly time. IGN: Truncator	Posted by Truncator on Nov 17, 2012, 6:00:59 PM Quote this Post
If I practice 20 times more (in imaginary world where job is overrated) I will have a chance to get a templar in top. For only of few hours of practice 30th is OK. Есть один путь - найух!	Posted by muxecoid on Nov 17, 2012, 6:05:40 PM Quote this Post
