Race Events and League Ladders - Soulthirst, Event 2: Descent - Forum

OK Chest changes are great, there are actually some choices now Zone tweaks i barely noticed, don't really care Race is way too long / easy How to fix: Make it a 2 (or 3 or whatever) hour piety boss kill race Cant fight piety until you full-clear the last zone (or some other clearing threshold, idk) Another option is to force full-clear of EVERY zone before you can proceed (mwahahahaha) Or clear each zone to ~80%, then boss spawns, must kill boss to proceed K bye Last edited by Fightgarr#3134 on Nov 5, 2015, 7:10:36 PM	Posted by Fightgarr#3134 on Nov 5, 2015, 7:05:57 PM Quote this Post

This race could be shortened like descent:champions was. ProjectPT was right.	Posted by passofexhale#1727 on Nov 5, 2015, 7:09:20 PM Quote this Post

This race could be shortened like descent:champions was. Honestly though... I kinda like it the way it is now! Nice and leisurely. I even had time to fight grav (which ive literally never done before) and fidel (which I've attempted maybe once or twice before). In other words, it doesn't really feel like a race, but whatever it is, its still fun. So it really depends on who GGG is targeting with this particular event.

official answer: " Chris wrote: I spoke to the race team and they explained: Since races length and points rewards are tuned towards the least-performant class (in this case, the Ranger), most classes will have an easy time in events such as Descent: Champions and Descent. There was an effort made for this race to be less frustrating. It feeling much easier is an outcome for experienced racers. Hopefully, by next balance patch the gap between classes shouldn't be as big as it currently. The introduction of Shrapnel Shot helps Rangers a lot. Eventually Descent: Champions and Descent may get Act 4 content to make them longer, which will also help with their duration.	Posted by Pam#2190 on Nov 5, 2015, 7:52:51 PM Quote this Post
Thank you as always, RNGesus :D 'Prepared for trouble? How about double?' Drawn by a haunting voice, you come to the PoE forums. It is an odd place, filled with a motley assortment of feedback... and shameless trolling. There, the whining posts are all around you, and the gamers are silent, as the grind takes ahold of them. One by one, their lives seem lost to its call.	Posted by Turophile#2126 on Nov 5, 2015, 8:17:58 PM Quote this Post
