how about a league with different map and mobs, would be fun and a small change

I completely agree that it'd be awesome, and we have a lot of ideas for this, but unfortunately it's not a small change. There are lots of complex issues like quests, skill gems and vendors that are hooked up to the main game stuff and would require some work to get going in a cool league event.

A league with alternate monsters shouldnt be much effort to impliment. Ledge with goats + explosive bandits, fellshrine with snakes and bone rhoas etc... would certainly add challenge, especially if the monster placements were randomized at the beginning of each event.

Will we ever see a race with only 1 possible instance per area? This way there would be no grinding the same map over and over

Awesome , gonna be the first event i can try aiming for top 100 maby even 50 if im lucky.

Is trading disabled for this race?

Not yet, sorry. We still need to add support for disabling trade in solo races.

I'm sure this has been said before but with streamers and guilds, people giving people gear and gems, I thought solo would be the absolute best competition. But with trading allowed it really crushes the point of solo races.

You know how it is by the time I solo grind areas over and over to say we are both 25. They have already had every gem and so many rares just handed to them. By the time we are say both lvl 25 a to a solo person that has been traded every peice of gear and 5 gems. Then they will just crush monsters and I'm still hacking 70% slower at that point. Really makes some of my friends say whats the point. No competition to be even remotely in the top 20.

I don't play for rewards of gear or even points to spend on microtransactions. I'll buy stash tabs cause I love this game and want to horde everything for crafting recipes. You play to win the game. Winning events is just not possible what so ever. I want to win to say yeah bitches I won or I was in the top 5.

Maybe make everytime a person makes a trade lose a level or 50% exp hehe jk but really. If they just get handed gear in a solo race. Give them a penatly but mostly remove trading from solo races.

I think its cool that there's competition to with the races (I love watching those streams), but in my opinion the prizes pool is oriented mostly for this very competitive players, as opposed to the more casual/not pros.

Yes, there are prizes for reaching certain levels, but there's so much stuff for being top5 of your class or clearing a quest first that it makes us other players feel like we are getting the leftovers in a race where we cannot compete with the top.

Mind you, it's not the AMOUNT of currency that I'm complaining about, but the way those goals are set. I find a lot more fun progressing through the content than grinding XP
I'd like to see rewards for, let's say, everyone finishing the game in normal difficulty. That way I will have a clear objective in mind AND I will not just stay in one map grinding for more levels (boring) because that's what the prize system incentivises.

Well thing is in turbo solo with monsters have faster att speed movement casting, you kinda have to grind a little more or when you reach those places faster and with no gear aka handouts, alot higher chance of dieing than a reg game where you progress pretty much through each area as they seem to level with you at a good pace. So those streamers who get handed every crafting mat and gear while they play go to town for say 15 sec and their friend trades them the best possible gear GG yes good game, not grind gear gaming am I right. Its not being casual or a pro. Its being out geared or pretty much saying you got no hand outs (freinds ;)

When is this league? Topic name says Jan 4th, but league starts in 6 hours
This will be my first event ...when i, for example, am first to slay Hillock and then i die, will i still get the reward for first kill?
