Get rid of 1 Week Races

Now seriously... no.

There will be 1/3 hours races for you. And there will be longer term races for those who want to compete over the whole progression through the different acts an difficulties, and then maps. This is a hardcore game aimed at hardcore players, so any limitation of time invested is out of question.

I believe account sharing is a minor issue since it is a much less fun way to play compared to anyone who would have earned his ranks and rewards. You would most likely get bored really quickly by doing this.

Legal problems ???

Health Problems ???

U guys are fucking dilusional ( pardon my french )

I can go buy a 24 of beer and a carton of smoke drink and smoke them both in 10 mints if i can choke it down then get in my car and drive. The only person who is responsible is me not the company who made it or the vendor who sold it.

Obviously u don't like the 1 week race, that's fine don't partake. No 1 is forcing u to do so thare is no reason for u to get bent out of shape. Just run the other races or play normal mode.

What's your beef ?

Iv not seen 1 ... not even 1 logical argunent in this thread to even CONSIDER removing them. If people what to quit RL and play a game 24/7 let them ? what do u care , other than the fact it makes it so u can't win ? The whole point of a 1 week race is to c who has the balls to stick it out, shorther races are more about maxing time invested and longer races will be even MORE who can play the most this is just insane





This is a pure QQ thread and im done with it i hope it gets locked.

Sleep deprivation can include the following symptoms:

:Depression
:Hallucinations
:Increased Blood pressure
:Aches and pains
:Memory loss and confusion
and in some rare cases even death...

I'm not so sure about the last two in your list, unless you mean temporary memory loss. Everything I can find on the subject suggests that the negative effects of sleep deprivation are reversed after getting enough sleep.

On death, unless you have Fatal Familial Insomnia (extremely rare), then it's not physically possible to stay awake long enough to die from sleep deprivation directly. I'm assuming you meant directly, since death caused indirectly by sleep deprivation isn't rare at all of course.

As long as no one is putting someone else in danger while doing this (eg by driving), then I've got no problem with the longer races.

You need to learn to read.


I'm not QQ as I won't win any race of any length. Watching the 1 week races just isn't any FUN and it proves nothing at all.

ANd this is why games go to shit...because people cry over dumb little things because they cant play or want it to be fair. life aint fair deal with, it week races are gonna happen.

If you think staying up for 72 or even 90 hours is a serious health risk you are fucking delusional. The only negative effect is FEELING TIRED. Have any of you ever stayed up for 3-4 days in a row? You wont go insane. You wont become depressed. You'll be tired out of your mind and dozing off but nothing more will come of it unless you have serious pre-existing health problems (in which case why are you staying up for 3 days)

Instead of getting rid of one week races, can we just get rid of whiny, jealous types that are complaining about an even that is strictly for fun. Or perhaps just a petition to get them to shut the hell up because they are too proud to see how absolutely idiotic they are.

"Hey guys, can we get rid of masters league and grandmasters league? It's like, I only play a few hours a day max and don't think it's fair that others can play more than me. I mean, come on, people can die! It really is serious, people also die from smoking marijuana and did you know that if you drink too much water you can die to? We really need to set up limits on how much water people can drink in a day. And it's not just me, I mean I don't care too much. It's moreso for that other guy that finishes 21st place. Because it only takes one account sharer to make that guy that finishes 21st not get his demigods. This is primarily an altruistic endavour as I'm just trying to look out for the greater good. I also like to save kittens from trees, they can really get hurt climbing up some of those. When branches break it feels good to know you probably saved a life."

As much as Blizzard for example likes to tell you what is fun and what isn't, in reality fun is a subjective thing. I find following their progress FUN, you don't. I find lots of other things in this game NOT FUN, doesn't mean I go make a thread they should be removed because of my subjective view.

Here's my idea for race types during Open Beta:
- 1 hour race
- 3 hour race
- 8 hour race
- 24 hour race
- 7 day race
- 1 month race
- 3 month race
- 6 month race
- 12 month race

There you go. Now you have something for everyone.
People with rL responsibilities can compete in the the shorter races while those with much more free time will own the longer races.

Either way, whatever GGG decides to do is fine with me.
