Race and Season Feedback - Descent Champions and Endless Ledge are now only 30 minutes. - Forum

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1463955 Why? There was nothing in the news talking about a change to this race, only vanilla Descent and Endless Ledge. Descent Champions was already too short, it didn't need to be shorter. I already have enough trouble getting to the end in this race and now it's even harder. Edit: Endless Ledge is also only 30 minutes now too. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1463956 I don't mind this change myself since Endless Ledge is the same thing over an over again, but I'm sure that the people who do like Endless Ledge would be annoyed by this.

Totally missed the EL change, I rather enjoyed the full hour of EL. Having the full hours gave the opportunity to get the sweet reroll RNG after getting rekt by gut punchers in zone three. I would like to see the why question answered, for both race types.	Posted by ChronoExile#0033 on Nov 2, 2015, 8:03:03 AM Quote this Post
el doesnt change much besides now you need the rng even earlier. as for dc you just need to rush even more to be able to clear past certain point Last edited by janimauk#6808 on Nov 2, 2015, 9:31:05 AM	Posted by janimauk#6808 on Nov 2, 2015, 9:30:27 AM Quote this Post

Or something. Just to put these all in one place, Point Structure Comparison: Descent Champions Season Seven, 1 Hour Descent Champs Level 26: 10 Reward Points Level 22-25: 7 Reward Points Level 19-21: 6 Reward Points Level 16-18: 5 Reward Points Level 13-15: 4 Reward Points Level 10-12: 3 Reward Points Level 6-9: 1 Reward Point Season Eight, 40 Minute Descent Champs Level 24: 10 Reward Points Level 20-23: 7 Reward Points Level 17-19: 6 Reward Points Level 14-16: 5 Reward Points Level 11-13: 4 Reward Points Level 8-10: 3 Reward Points Level 5-7: 1 Reward Point Season Ten & Emberwake, 40 Minute Descent Champs Level 25: 10 Reward Points. Level 21-24: 7 Reward Points. Level 17-20: 6 Reward Points. Level 14-16: 5 Reward Points. Level 11-13: 4 Reward Points. Level 8-10: 3 Reward Points. Level 5-7: 1 Reward Point. Soulthirst, 30 Minute Descent Champs Level 23: 7 Reward Points. Level 18-22: 6 Reward Points. Level 14-17: 4 Reward Points. Level 10-13: 2 Reward Points. Level 6-9: 1 Reward Point. Endless Ledge Bloodgrip, 1 Hour Endless Ledge Level 25: 10 Reward Points. Level 21-24: 7 Reward Points. Level 18-20: 6 Reward Points. Level 15-17: 5 Reward Points. Level 12-14: 4 Reward Points. Level 9-11: 3 Reward Points. Level 6-8: 1 Reward Point. Soulthirst, 30 Minute Endless Ledge Level 17: 7 Reward Points. Level 13-16: 6 Reward Points. Level 10-12: 4 Reward Points. Level 6-9: 2 Reward Points. Level 4-5: 1 Reward Point. There is no longer a 10 point bracket for these two events. But at only 30 minutes each it makes sense. Hell in the 12 min burst for Descent Champs top runs were hitting level 14, so level 23 in 30 min shouldn't be too bad.

nah its pretty bad, the last few levels from 20 - 23 take deceptively long and can burn a bunch of your time. descent champions is the best race in the game , period. why do they keep reducing it? if they are going to have 30 min descent champions then i want back to back descent champions i want my 1 hour of descent champion fun. even at 40 min in this current season it feels rushed Last edited by Saltychipmunk#1430 on Feb 2, 2016, 2:47:34 PM	Posted by Saltychipmunk#1430 on Feb 2, 2016, 2:46:23 PM Quote this Post
