Medallion, Event 36: BLMST Izaro Kill

If you manage to stay alive past lvl20 its not THAT bad. My expirience on stay alive between lvl1 and lvl10 is like horror movie on that game setup. And w/o GOOD luck on finding GOOD items youre dead anyway. Crazy overtunned + bad luck = frustration and qq. Never, ever going to even try to play game setup like this again ;)

Managed to get lvl 40 and act 4 but kaom's levels are too much with the GMP rakagnos. A couple of rare rakagnos, triskeriaki and bleed traps spawned in single are and instagibbed me. Wasn't even possible to run past them because the of the area layout and the monster density.

Anyway, this was a very stressful race and the sentinel traps really really suck, imho its 2x harder than BLAMT because of those fucking unkillable traps. Bosses were strangely a lot easier than regular mobs - I killed piety in 10 secs but took me forever to get through lunaris lvl 2.

I think BLAMT/BLSMT is good only for 1-2 hrs. Make it 24 hrs and it just becomes too stressful and unsatisfying. Not to mention how the servers became very unstable during the last few hrs, giving lag spikes every now & then.

I had so much fun in that race. Died rank ~37 ish right after the first person got Izaro by Pietys tentacle spammers in temple lvl 2 with no space to evade the 10000 projectiles flying at me.

I would love to see a (side) league like this after some small balancing changes (like less Lab totems in areas where you can't evade them) and maybe no respawning (reseting zones) monsters apart from some special zones (to stop easy overleveling).

For people that have a problem with early bosses a hint: Stock up on rare weapons and unleash animate weapon on bosses. ;)

(Deleted my character, so no points for me ... that is fucking stupid.)

Didn't manage to get the kill before sleeps last night.

Went well today, until I strolled into Malachai fight... he and piety destroyed me :P

Only 10 points lost though, so pretty pleased with how it went. It was lot's of fun, thanks GGG!

Good luck to everyone else still playing.

After dying to weaver on a gimped bow character, found this early on

I don't think there is a stronger unique for this league.

Probably over farmed, but better safe then sorry for Malachi

It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the change of pace from the normal game.

Damn, that is uberhardcore! took awhile just to die from a zombie? sentinal poison? at level 10 lol almost a point! come on guys getting the medicine chest deserves at least a point or two..and even chatters he seemed pretty tough.

This would make a good perm league but maybe turn all monster mods down by say 10% or something.

Next time I'll do better.

I'm impressed by those who managed to beat Izaro with under 6 hours played - it took me roughly 5 more hours of grinding and stacking as much life as I possibly could before I felt confident enough for the encounter, and it still proved to be one tough fight.

Fun event. This race felt more like a marathon than a sprint, and it's nice players were given the incentive to progress slower than usual in order to prepare for those crazy boss showdowns. I breathed a sigh of relief after defeating Izaro.

Did anyone else not receive points for the race? Finished 59 still nothing.

Nope, no points here yet.

I got no points. I just logged on to PoE and deleted my char (22:24 here so 24 mins till race ended) thought i would have my points. just checked site and no points hope i still get them though??
