(Mar 17) HC Ladder Race
|
This weekend, we're going to run a temporary three hour league with awesome prizes.
It will run from 10am to 1pm New Zealand time on Sunday (March 18 2011). This is 9pm-midnight UTC on Saturday March 17. Here is a link for more time zone conversions. The league will be hardcore. Characters who die will be moved out of this league and into the Default league. NEW CHARACTERS MUST BE CREATED IN THIS LEAGUE TO BE ELIGIBLE. After the end of the league, they'll be moved back into the normal Hardcore or Default league depending on whether they died. The league will be open for character creation at least 30 minutes before the start of the competition. Prizes: At the end of the tournament, we will award the prizes in the Hardcore league on a character that we add to your account. If you want to transfer these prizes to the Default league, then just kill that character. Random Currency Prizes: For this competition, we'll be giving the winners a certain number of random currency items from the list below. These are picked with equal weighting using a random generator.
Top Prizes: The top five players of each class by experience will receive prizes.
Witches:
Marauders:
Rangers:
Templars:
Duelists:
Quest Prizes: The first player to complete each of these quests wins the prize listed. If you're in a party then only one of you will win the prize. The player will be selected randomly.
Full-clear Prizes: The first player to kill all of the monsters in any of the following areas will receive the listed currency items for that area. Note that your minions count as monsters currently, so we strongly recommend avoiding minion builds. If you are in a party, then the player who gets the killing blow on the final monster gets the prize.
Spot Prizes: We'll also distribute some spot prizes randomly after the event to people who reached certain level thresholds. You can be eligible for multiple tiers of spot prizes. Winners of other categories can still win spot prizes. Level 30+: 6 random currency items (1 person receives this)
Level 25+: 5 random currency items (5 people receive this)
Level 20+: 4 random currency items (5 people receive this)
Level 15+: 3 random currency items (5 people receive this)
Miscellaneous: The game version will be whatever the current 0.9.6 version is (probably 0.9.6h). Please note that because this is a hardcore league, a single death can disqualify you. STASHED ITEMS IN THIS LEAGUE WILL BE LOST Our decision on the winners is final. Bugs and mistakes will get in the way for many players and this is why we are running an event like this. If you lose your ability to participate due to a bug, please tell us about it and we'll do our best to fix it. We can't change the outcome of the event due to this. Lead Developer.

Thanks for organizing these, GGG!
What is the most valuable data/feedback you all get from these events? (pertaining to developing the game) NewDude: I killed Brutus. Now I have no quest. So what now?
Guy: I guess there are people that NEED quests for direction. Guy2: I always wonder how those people get through life. GuyMontag: They get married. Wives are like quest-givers. |

I have done a lot of testing experience-gains in levels 1-25 through the last days.
I have not broken it down mathematically yet, so there may be some inconsistencies, but some surprising facts were: - Farming at level 1, 2 and 3 was futile compared to farming at level 4. Mud Flats is hands down a better place to gain experience. - Level 5 was ok for farming and so is level 7, but none of them are very good. - From a pure experience-perspective Level 8 is godlike. Given the ease of aoe-farming I think it is one of the best levels in the game for that! - Level 9 is good xp, level 10 is not that good. Level 11 and level 12 are very good xp-levels. - Level 13 is meh, while level 14 is very good. Might be worth it to skip the Ship Graveyard and farm The Coves! - Level 15 is very good from an xp-perspective. Farming some Caverns is not that bad at all! - Level 16, 17 and 18 are not good xp. - Level 19 is very good in Felshrine Ruins and mediocre elsewhere. - Level 20 and 21 areas are very strong areas in terms of gaining xp. - Level 22 and level 23 are good areas. Level 24 is very good and level 25 is absolutely worth farming if you have got the damage for it! - Blue monsters give 3,5 times the xp of their levels normal counterparts. I think they are worth farming almost always. - Gold monsters give 5,5 times the xp of their levels normal counterpart. They are probably only worth killing for the loot. - Unique monsters are very hard to classify since the formula is a bit inconsistent. Hilloch is worth farming as an above gold-level monster. Fire Fury is a gold-level monster, Hailrake is a lot better than a gold, Oozeback is at Hailrakes level. Fairgraves is a gold. Merveil is well worth farming at both forms! The bandits are all about gold-level of their appropriate levels. Abomination is about gold-level, Weaver is very good xp, Great White is a good gold monster and the xp in the zone in general is very good making it worth going for him in some instances. I appear to be living in "Romance Standard Time". That has to be good! :)
