Died in southern forest opening a box, freeze, explode, was still alive, pot'ed and leaped away but desynced back into mobs. Remade and had terrible drops of currency, not able to craft weapon until level 15. But then bad streak turned off and I got 2 blood rages attack speed gloves, fast leaping marauder is enjoyable to play)

Spoiler



3rd marauder to kill piety, 32th overall.
Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)
Wow, I didn't have fun at all doing this race. Had an awesome start with a high 2h at Lv10 to go with leapslam and had great momentum all the way up to Warehouse sewers were I overextended 4lvls under map and reeped to a rare discharger at ~30th on the ladder. EXTREMELY pissed. Rerolled in shame and just finally downed the crazy bitch having had some also-good drops along the way.



Lv20 trololol drop

/played at Piety kill was 2hrs 10mins.

Props to you HC players but yeah I will be happy to never do this type of race ever again. I need to go outside right now.

Playing with 200ms means that I have to clear every single pack of monsters (5 or more).

Else, I'll fucking desync as I'm NEVER where the client shows , lol.

Spoiler


1 early death, still managed to kill piety 3 hours in and get #7 Templar and #50 global.

Also, I blame shitty internet on 40% of my bad time. 60% is that I still suck at racing.
Started late and took my time. Pretty decent equipment. It took me a while before I could juggle that belt into the mix.

Too bad I stayed up all night working on a project. I may have had a reasonably decent run considering I got goldrim within first 5 minutes of the race. But, my name was "getLevelEightThenBed" or something along those lines and I stuck to it.



congrats to the racers who finished, maybe I'll participate next time.
gotta get like 70 more points, looking very do-able.
