February Weekend Event 8: Act 2 Solo

To see the available prizes of the current events, go to this page.

The top of each class in each race will be awarded a Demigod's Dominance Body Armour.
10 out of the top 50 players of each race will receive a specific armour set. 30 out of the top 300 players of each race will receive a set of footprints. These winners will be selected through a random draw. This excludes cutthroat races where no microtransactions will be awarded.

The prizes will be awarded after the weekend of races has concluded. We'll be issuing these manually during the work-day.

Standard rules for league events apply. Please click this link if this is your first race event.
A guide has been posted here which covers general aspects and strategies of racing.

A summary of Alternate Start events:

Unlike regular races, Alternate Start events do not begin in Act 1, Normal. They can begin in any act or difficulty after that. These areas are the same level as they appear in the regular game, and are not scaled down for these events.

To compensate, Alternate Start Events provide pre-levelled characters with unallocated skill trees, who start with basic gear and skill gems appropriate to their level. These race types are also voided.

This event begins in Act 2, Normal, in The Forest Encampment.

Characters start at Level 12, with 13 unallocated passives.

Okay, the race has started, but when I move into the Old Fields, I can't move.

Dafuq?

edited to add: seems like lots of racers have the same problem.

edited to add: deleting a character then making a new one seemed to fix it, but going to Lioneye's Watch started the problem all over again.

Yeah, can't do shit in this race. Move to vendor = rubberband back to starting spot.
Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.
Best race ever.
Same, had to quit the race. A crappy beginning of the racer's career if you ask me...
Moved to Old Fields -> Couldn't move. Got message that I can't move until race starts.

Relogged, could move, went to act 1, soon as I went to act 1 town, I couldn't move. Relogging useless.

Created a new char and could play. If at any point I went to A1 town though, I'd get stuck. And since I wanted to try a Blade Vortex scion, I was fucked.

BTW, it's exceedingly lame that they give us a L12 character but only give us Firestorm. Just give us all the L12 gems, for fuck's sake.
Looks like piles of people are stuck at the A1 town. :(
Hi GGG,

I believe lots of players all get stucked in town, be it act 1/2 for no good reason, this race is totally bugged and unfair as not all could really 'participate'.

Bugged instances, including the town. Dozens of people stuck in A1 town. Others stuck in whichever area they first moved into, unless they figured out to exit, go back to town, and start a new instance.


First and last race for me.
Me and my friend also got the same problem - would get reset while going away from town gate portal. First it said cannot move since race has not started. I relogged in, didn't try restart but was able to complete most part on left of town.
