This is an interesting race but early on is so heavily influenced by rng / map layouts, this really is just another burst race that gives full credit and awards.. Wish it was a bit different, people will kill at level 7 easy in 10-12 minutes. I already killed in 12 with ranger(ms boots from start) though.

True, but it also provides those of us who aren't Demigod Award Winners time to do our thing, too, even if we have no chance of placing. I like this format.

" On a race like this, a lesser skilled player could easily get a better time just from luckier rng. Layouts or a lucky drop will play the biggest factor. No... as a casual racer, even at my best pace, the leader is usually 50% higher level. So when i reach 10 they are already at 15. RNG will make a bigger difference for those who are at a similar skill level, but that has always been the case. IGN: FemmeFatality	Posted by MrCardholder on Nov 2, 2014, 4:10:37 PM Quote this Post

The top racers "compete" in normal races. This is just whoever doesn't get lost or finds an amazing lvl 2 drop wins.

As a casual player who ranks about 5000 in the Rampage ladder, I like this kind of race. It gives me a shot at 3 or 4 points if I don't get too reckless. "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk." Rumi US Mountain Time Zone	Posted by ChanBalam on Nov 2, 2014, 5:02:20 PM Quote this Post

And what's the issue with this? Are the top racers bound and determined to completely squash the fun for 99.9% of the PoE player base? There's more than plenty for the toppers in PoE as it is. As others said, for the great majority of players, no matter what dropped for them, competing at the top of the standings is still going to be an impossibility. Worry not.
