Fix your zone layouts please.
I had AMAZING item RNG, and shitty zone layouts. Two quicksilvers drops (not quest), good sceptres, rarity gear, good flasks drops throughout race, resistance rings. I lost 3-5 minutes alone because zone layouts continuously made long dead end corridors. And thats a light estimate. Dispite this, I ONLY managed to get Top 10 because of the quicksilvers and not stopping through zones. Assuming directions ...N W...E ...S Reset zones in: Flooded Depths: Was unable to find destination because bridge did not appear, and lights did not guide the correct path. The Cavern of Wrath: Connection to Cavern of Anger was not in usual place North (west/east), and was instead East to South East. Never found it however because I reset from maze like structure and too long of distances. The Caverns: This area was really anoying. The first half of the zone running through waterfall cave was completely fine. Had very straight forward choice. After I reached the WP this lead to continuous dead ends inside the pyramid. Long stretches that you could not tell where they went lead to nowhere. Staircase did not spawn in the corners. Never found it, reset zone and ran past all mobs. Limit the size of the Pyramid section to be more Square. Corridors become too long and unable to find Stairs in a reasonable amount of time. Contrary to The Caverns, I had a very easy time navigating The Ancient Pyramid, because the zone is relatively unchanged and small. Other Zone feedback: The Vaal Ruins: This zone is too long, and very very maze like. With the combined level 1 and level 2, it becomes impossible to tell the correct path to take. You have to guess and hope for the best the direction you chose ends up being the end zone. While I did not reset the zone, almost did, I finally found the Ancient Seal and continued onwards. The Wetlands: This area was almost too large. Oak did not spawn in the middle, and river path was not correct. Transition to Vaal Ruins/waypoint were farther to the south / south west than normal West. Almost made a complete circle around the zone to find it. The Ship Graveyard: Saved the worst for last. This layout change is complete garbage. Not only is there no guidance (hints) on where to go, the locations of All zone transitions changed. They are too random because the zone is too large and not uniform. Waypoint is no longer close to the entrance. Sometimes its at the edge to Cavern of Wrath, and that one you get for free. Please reevaluate the distance between the waypoints on The Climb to Ship Graveyard to Cavern of Wrath. This is not consistent! The Cavern of Wrath transition can spawn anywhere from the West edge, to the South Edge, to the South East. (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ Ship Graveyard Cave can spawn anywhere in the middle or to the edges. Not only that, but mob density is also garbage. Because the zone is so large, and packsize so thin, you are stretched for exp. You are better off just running the zone and making up for it in Both Caverns. I'm not salty. Really. Lots of other racers have similar feedback about particular zone layouts, and I hope you take them into consideration before the next season. "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."

" Story of our lives Hixxie, I agree. You know as a racer to get top 50 consistently that you have to prepare in advance to deal with the fact that you might have to overkill before those problem zones depending on how lucky you feel that day when it comes to your map seed. That being said, with enough practice runs you will eventually see every layout, but they're still a bit more difficult to run through intuitively than zones in other acts. Even Hedge maze is easier to predict than Vaal Ruins :D. |
