My suggestion for next season is to put any Piety, Dominus, or Malachai kill events on the weekend. I think it is a bit too hard to put 4-7 hours of gameplay in on a weekday for any player (young or old). The last 2 weekends of this season has small 1 hour events (Except 90m Ancestral Party (BGC106) and Vaal Oversoul Kill (BGV102)) that should have been moved into the week when you have less time, and allow longer events on the weekend when you have more time. Of course this only makes sense for people with normal schedules (students, 9-5 workers, etc.) that are usually busy during the "work" week. Something to think about. On the other races, I think most have been planned very well.
I commend Dan and those that worked to put this season together. Just small updates to 2+ hour races on rewards since act 4 has been added. Some communication from GGG during the race would be nice too. I also feel that it would be cool to see more rewards, and maybe more events during a race season. Maybe make it 1 1/2 months long. Still keep top tier prize at 1000 points like it has always been, and have more prizes like seasons 3-8 with 9-10 rewards along the way to 1000 points. Might get more people racing, which I hear may be the reason why there has been less communication recently. Otherwise I think it has been updated nicely for this season and last season. Neat ideas on themed races for Emberwake and Bloodgrip. GJ GGG!

" I'm from a guild called ACE (Alpha Crucis Exiles) we have about 100 people in our guild and I often ask them why they're not racing and they normally reply with something like "I don't think it's worth it because there isn't enough rewards" or "I don't see the point since the rewards aren't very good" I understand that racing isn't all about the rewards but there would be so many more people racing if there were more / better rewards. " New Zealand & Australia have this race in the weekend which gives them an advantage since there will not be as many players from other countries doing the race. Not that this matters too much, just thought it'd be worth mentioning Last edited by GuyThatDies#7619 on Sep 25, 2015, 5:32:49 AM

I understand it is difficult to accommodate all people in all time zones. Perhaps in the future a more randomized schedule? Or run one race type in all time slots of a day, this would make it easier for those of us who cant participate at 7am or 1am not get left out.. with that in mind i do think all yall at ggg are doing a great job and i really enjoy the race events that i am able to attend. Thanks for the game!
I am really not as bad as they say I am.
I am actually a really nice person. Haaahahahaaahahahahahahahahahaaaahahahaha |

As the podcast suggests, you need to create asynchronous races.
This will cater to all players of any timezone. For boss races in particular, you might try limiting active characters in the league to one. For people who either die and want to restart, and ensure they cannot double up on points somehow. "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."

Good run.
Unfortunate 2 (well 3 since I do get hit by a random mob but not getting hit from it wouldn't saved me) shot in Kaoms Path by the unique totem boss with 39 fire res (67 w/ flask but it ran out just before this happened) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8SnEMBgnnY&feature=youtu.be |

Walking through act IV without any kind of armour is very suicidal , I can only dodge THAT many ranged attack shots. White roosters with bow in daresso's dream can actually instagib you from 1k+ life, especially when they get frenzy charges from their dog friends, who would have thought.
ProjectPT was right.

" Depends on the build. I was incredibly lucky to find these in late A2: People often disregard these boots for added danger, but they're perfect for rushing with a high-DPS ranged build (I ended up playing dual totem). Malachai kill gear: He actually died so fast I didn't even have to port to town, lol. If I didn't fuck around so much in A4 I would have beat Havoc too... My immense respect to Krame for making a sub-2 hour. In fact, if you still have your video in its original form, I would very much urge you to submit it to SDA—your time is fucking nuts and deserves to be celebrated and preserved in multiple forms. <Tyrfalger> Exactly, the next act is going outside Sarn and into those wheat fields (see the map) to become a farmer. Then we can spend our days endlessly farming. Wait a minute... Last edited by moozooh#4289 on Sep 25, 2015, 10:02:44 PM
