First Invasion Atziri kills have occurred!

So now , from an announcement it turns out to be the most annoying arguement of the year lol.

Thing is we cant avoid RMT and i think GGG did their best to minimize it.

I always being envy of those one who already achieved 100 and owned godly gear in stash, I also pissed off myself for being hard working for already 8 months and still unable to afford a shav, for spending almost 500$ support.

Sometimes we pissed off, but surely still love to stick to this game. Stop caring about other issues, care ur joy.

Pixel drama :)

SOTV was in the pipeline for what, 4+ months? Its next to impossible that no one could come up with a way to prevent contest kills from being sold in that amount of time, so we have to assume that kill selling was intended or that they just dont care. Either way, disappointing.

Grats to those (few) who actually did battle and were victorious.

A kill should only count toward the 50 first if a certain a mount of damage to the boss was done.
This would still allow Havoc and Mors to sell kill but would discredit most people buying it.

I enjoyed the Havoc vs Mors, Atziri race but now this is ridiculous. All those that got kills thanks to them are just sissies who can't handle real challenge.
This is the most pathetic action I have ever seen in PoE and GGG not acknowledging the problem is even worse.

Sure the fight would have been impossible to sell, but then no one would want to play support builds. Why would you pick up aura nodes or build for group play if your main focus is to do a solo achievement? Doing the challenge this way would have split people up and caused community problems.

I mean it can get down right nasty... If someone on the ladder is trying to buy upgrades in order to kill Atziri, why would you want to help that player get the kill before you? Why would you want to stream the fight or give away info on the fight? Most people would rather hinder others instead of helping them if they are competing. It is sad to say, but that is just how people are.

I must admit, I'm confused.

You're saying that the problem of a solo competition would be the fact that people would get competitive? That they'd want to compete against each other?

Isn't that the whole point of a competition? To compete against each other. To not help those you're competing with but instead try to beat them?

As for the competition itself, I don't really see the point of the complaints. It should've been obvious well in advance at what crowd this competition was aimed.

holly cow, the second kill was SO EPIC! He deserves the tittle "ICEMAN" attached to his name

Edit:

Pretty sad that the selling of kills is going on in Invasion as well. I hear Havoc is charging 20 ex...

He also doesn't really deserve recognition for being the first to hit level 100 considering that it was far from legit.

10k HP Triple Curse build that gets carried by a group that runs maps purchased through RMTed exalts...

/skill

Morsexier and WillyWonka deserve more credit than Havoc.

Total agree. but its not the problem of chris or havoc. I cant see why selling of kills should be forbidden. And how will you prove it?

The idiocy is to make such a challange like the first 50 player receive ....

IF you make such a challange then perhaps the first or the first 3 players.

But ggg loves streamers and selling people. the first give much popularity and selling peoples gives people with money but without skill and time a good chance and ggg much money from such people to pose with all microtransactions they can buy.
so its for ggg and the streamer or first kill players a win win situation.

Awesome. I called it at the start of the leagues that havoc will get the first kill in invasion and there will be a massive outrage because of something. Then he killed her and nothing much happened to my dissapointment but there he is, delivering controversy like a boss. Sometimes I think that he's just a master troll playing the forums, playing GGG and getting them views.

90% of winners:

"First 50 players to kill Atziri"

*Never even sees the boss*

"Congratulations you have killed Atziri"


This game man, this game.....

You are missing the point.

There is going to be competition regardless of the challenge. This is why we have the ladder. I'm getting at the fact that it would ruin the teamwork aspect of this game. It is online only for a good reason.

This game is meant to be multiplayer. It is meant to revolve around the community and trading. Making a challenge based around solo play completely goes against what the game is about. Solo play in this game is an option; not a requirement. GGG wants the community to work together; not against each other.

Do you think that people cannot work together in a competition? That the only way to compete is to make it solo? My point is that making it a solo competition would hinder group play. People who once wanted to band together to climb the ladder must now make a decision. Do we want to work together and have fun leveling up, or do we compete against our friends for the challenge?
