Whats the new demi? Tell me please!

We aren't doing a new demi this season. We are planning to use Demigod's for three seasons, and swap over Talismans in step.

Qarl's quote taken from: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1199066

I'm not sure if they are switching the demis to last 3 seasons now or just getting races and pvp in sync for when the demis/victors switch. Im hoping he means just hoops last 3 seasons till switching simultaneously with talismans to get back on track for switching every 2.

Hopefully the extra season means the next demi will be an alt art chest.

WTF is Unwavering?

It seems like this has been happening a lot recently. Happened last season when "Brutal" wasn't in the race post. Maybe time to update the race rules post?

and they nerf flameblast by 20% again instead of ele prolif... and sup with the timing of this nerf, couldnt they wait till next league? is this meant for this race season? they love helman?

I dunno why they can't simply put the definitions of the race formats in the race announcements. One of life's profoundest mysteries, defying reason and intuition. =0[.]o=

Seriously. As someone who's new to racing and wants to give it a go this time around, I'm a bit overwhelmed and surprised by the lack of organization.

From another thread:

"

The league will generally be open for character creation 30 minutes before the start of the competition. To enter, just make a new character in the league described in its appropriate thread. New characters must be created in the correct league to be eligible for prizes.

Ok... So what are the correct leagues for this particular race? Is it only Torment and Bloodlines?

I think this means that the races each have their own league which will be opened 30 min prior to the races, where you'll have to create a new character.

Exactly.

Also, DO NOT DELETE your race characters until they transition to the race format's parent league (Hardcore or Void), to be sure that you get credit for your race, and any prizes from reaching that threshold, or random draws. There have been problems with characters not making the transition in a timely manner (which is normally only a few minutes after race end), so don't take it for granted that you can delete them, even if some time has passed.

Have fun, and enjoy the races! =^[.]^=

Monsters have more life and cannot be stunned. =^[.]^=

Is there a reason why that's not defined above? They have the "rules" section which seems to have been designed for exactly this sort of explanation, but then they waste it by defining "solo" and "hardcore" but not "unwavering" or "fixed seed".

I followed "Please click this link if this is your first race event" and they do have a definition for fixed seed there, but not unwavering.

Other questions about this season:

* Does "burst" just highlight a short runtime event or does it mean something additional?

* Is "ledge" the same as "endless ledge"?

Thanks!

The overall racing instructions are terribly put together and are not very informative for a new racer. I agree! They need a complete revamp of the racing setup, instructions and such to make it less daunting for a new racer.

Yes it is pretty rough at the start, but this game does have a steep learning curve and it was made that way on purpose. When I started racing i absolutely sucked, RIPs everywhere, with every RIP you learn an adapt and before you know it you're actually not too bad.

The point is to practice, learn the mods by experiencing them, learn the strengths and weaknesses of each mod, each map area until it becomes second nature. I can usually place within the top 100 of most races, def not the best but a result Im personally happy with. Personally I found it much more rewarding just to jump in the deep end, learn by experience and trial and error. Poe is not supposed to be a game you get babied through, held held at every step. Make mistakes and learn from them.

well, whatever... the demi talk is such first world problems :D
I am far too sucky to win one anyway, I'm just happy the new race sesson starts, cause racing generally is fun. Time for some more 8th-20th maras :D
