Winterheart, Event 73: Winterheart

This is a Signature Event. The top three experience value records across all signature races for each class wins an alternate art Demigod's Dominance at season end. You can view the current top three participants by class here.

Signature Races are Fixed Seed events, meaning that each participant plays through the same area layouts. In addition, all Signature races in a Season will use the same layout.

RIP Servers.
Nice servers, had to run back to Merveil and kill her again. Died to something dumb later on but I had already lost all that time.
Yep, definitely had a great experience. Had to run prisoner's gate to Merveil 3 times because of rollbacks.

tsk tsk you guys were behind pace, it was the riverways -> western run that got rolled back for me :P

also couldnt relog after logging out after sins

fun race much competitive

(although this might be the first time ever i've experienced server issues during a race, would HAVE to be a Sig race naturally)

Lost probably five minutes due to server crashes, forced rerunning of instances and the server not letting me authenticate. Oh well...
The run was going fucking GREAT!
But then I rolled back when in Southern Forest and had to go kill Merveil again.. Got rolled back after the second kill, too....

There was so much more in it this time :(

EDIT: Then I was so upset that I forgot to pick up the Baleful Gem and had to do Sins again :D

I'm usually behind pace :P, only just started racing. Things were going quite well for my standards, then the servers ripped.
never movementspeed boots for me T_T

Spoiler


no 2nd QS, no MS until Ship Graveyard.
Couldn't craft woodsplitter because ID'd too many rares and didn't pick enough magic items for a transmute, made it at L15 after fidelitas.
Probably should've crafted poleaxe with a rare rustic to have more dmg early but I was saving it for jagged maul which I didn't need because vaal ground slam is never dropping :(
Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)
