I used a different technique for awarding them this time, so if you notice any problems, please PM me.

Beside the unusual charnaming for the reward holder, all seems fine and working as intended here.

Great race this time!

Almost no desyncs!

And Brutus had it coming, because Hillock presented me nicely with:



And some minor mentionables

that opens up like a menu with your chars/inventories.
then you just click on the items and it adds a bunch of gibberish code.

LIKE THIS YO!

Aha like this?



Thanks mate :))

Tried partying for the first time. Was 4 of us - me - dw shadow, witch, maradeur and ranger. Started pretty good, but then our mara suddenly left, in 5 minutes witch died. So racing stopped. Ranger also died at lvl 11 at graveyard, thanks to rhoas.
So we ended up lvling with new maradeur, i reached 20, he - 17. BTW Merveil was really hard for 2 of us.
Got pretty good drop this time - gcp at terraces, many rares and some other orbs:


Gear (great dagger from Brutus):

Turbo is like a completely different game unplayable for me. I get desyncs also at normal mode, but hardly ever deadly. I ran with 260 life on a witch through the prison and life was just gone at some point.

Was a pretty normal race, I didn't have to do anything difficult besides a low level dweller and running to coves, so I ended up being first in the party with XP. Its nice to be first overall, though I know 99% of that has to do with our party.

Made this with a chance orb, might be the best mace I've ever made in a race so that was nice.


I still think that the early marauder mana game is a little tough to manage given some of the melee changes to damage for our early skills. When I play templar but go the same build of groundslam, the one point in 40% mana regen until I don't need it any longer goes a long way to making the early levels tolerable. Granted a lot of this is alleviated by reaching RT, but I don't remember having any of these issues some months ago. Some of it could be slightly more server lag given the exponential growth of race participants from PoE's surging popularity.

Still, I feel like adjusting HS and GS to be 1-2 mana less in cost and then by skill level 4-5 having the cost remain at the current level would be enough to alleviate a lot of the mana issues I seem to see. (at least off the top of my head I thought the cost went up over time, not just from stacking supports)
