Can we get a Races glossary?
|
I would like to start doing races, but honestly it's very confusing to figure out what kinds of events are actually happening. There seem to be many races where unless I'm a super-optimized veteran, I have no chance of winning anything. There also seem to be some races where I can get 1-2 points for not sucking too hard, getting a few levels without dying.
I've read the recommended Races guide (and the one on reddit), and though they explain a lot of the terms and words, they aren't complete or easy to find. For example I couldn't find anything that explains what an "Endless Ledge" is. So my request is this: a page on the regular pathofexile.com website that lists all the special terms and acronyms used for Race events, all in one place. I shouldn't have to dig through forum posts or end up on reddit to find out the basics of races. As an additional suggestion: could there be some more noob-friendly races with toned-down rewards. Maybe they could only be available to accounts with low-level characters, or accounts with a maximum hours-played, something like that? I want to try races, but the feeling that I am competing with people to can get to level 100 in a week is not a very good one. JF | |

Races should be challenging. You have you challenge your playing abilities and your build. Perfect it and progress, its quite rewarding.
As for more info on races, while I agree some could have more information posted on what each race is, there are other ways to find out what the race is like. You could youtube a video of endless ledge to see a play through of it or simply do the race and learn as you go. That might not be the most efficient way to start but learning for yourself is how I always approach things and it makes it much more rewarding in the end. For the race terms, there is a post explaining what each race mod http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/44360 Scroll down a bit.. Last edited by terrex on Jan 14, 2014, 4:33:50 PM

Endless ledge, descent champions and descent (absent this season) events are all noob-friendly as they dont require your character to be alive at the end of the race to receive points. The fun-labeled races also have random draws for alt-art items at the end.

Good catch about EL not being explained anywhere, that should definitely be linked in the Race Info thread linked in every race.
