A summary of Time based events:

Timed based events are new types of event introduced in Race Season 9, they are designed to create a new kind of competitive environment where players compete not by character experience, but by their capabilities to progress through the game and complete specific objectives, such as killing bosses.

The boss required to be defeated for this race is: Merveil, located in The Cavern of Anger.

  • The time recorded is based from the beginning of the race, not when your character is created.
  • Characters will not appear on the ladder until they have completed the objective.
  • Characters are not required to have completed the time based objective in order to receive points for the other objectives, such as points awarded for reaching certain levels.
  • Characters who die after completing the objective, will still be counted for receiving reward points except for the level-specific prizes.
  • Points are awarded at the end of the race, do not delete your characters until they have been moved to the permanent leagues.

FUCK YOU NESSA not one sapphire ring levels 9, 10, 11 or 12. Not even a coral.

Shit pathing in Lower prison had staircase next to corrupted zone. But whatever, I lived, killed Merveil after 3 TPs. 29 mins though... embarassing.

MVP

Hit Lv12 on very last mob before Merveil. A frustrating race, did not have fun.

from chamber 1, which also was full with shrines.. a little too late i'd say.
No ms or +1 before merveil, went a bit too slow.

wut

Got first dweler as per my usual plan to try it. This obviously leaves me without tidal, being lazy bum i end up never doing it thus no ms whatsoever.
Crafted +1 fire after brutus and hike for a 'maybe' fairgaves. Someone enters cave as i'm 80% thru prisoners->abort abort abort.
Walk to coves->caverns like nothing happens, then it hit me. Still no fairgraves kill anounced, had wp so went back for it.
Fairgraves dies few min after first merveil kill.
How the hell i still got top20 shadow with all that sightseeing x_x
logged in climb because something was killing me from desync, picked diamond shrine but monsters was on another side... dunno. Luckily had wp because vendored weapons for blacksmith.

then went into corrupted locations in both prisons, rekt

accidentally vendored maul before hitting L-10 so went back to buy one.

without that unfortunate events could probably save 2-3minutes but still not fast enough.

2min late and next marauder 4.5min behind... ouch

I gotta git gud.
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)
Desync on waypoint skip. Restart and face palm.
