Um, what kind of cringe event is this? The only reward is 1st place in each class at each race, that's only 18 helmets for 500k+ players? Is this some kind of rofl? There's only 1 attempt in each race? Why? What's stopping you from creating a new character and trying to improve your result? You have to stay up all night for a 0.0001% chance of getting a helmet, are they even out of their minds? In short, the event is complete crap, I've never seen such horror in any game. Was this practiced in Part 1?

And is there anything planned to be added before version 0.2.0? Or have all the resources gone to Part 1, which no one needs? And you don't have to log into the game for a month?

Try again but being respectful this time.

I can't no life stuff anymore. Good luck everybody else.

Console needs mouse & keyboard support so its actually fair.
You can't even move with your inventory open on controller.

Yay for the streamers I guess...

As a regular player this does absolutely nothing for me. How about some events for the rest of us???

Awesome a timeline for 0.2.0 :)

Ngl the event itself is pretty lame esp. its reward-system, see no reason to participate

well I know I wont be that 1st guy, I cannot beat a gaminghouse or guild in this demigod helmet event, this thing will be like exactly in poe 1 all demigod item will be collected by 1 guy and you know who is that guy , right?

Racing is back! I'm not crying you're crying! 😭😭😭

Can't wait to see 400 terrible screen shots and people saying "why is there no auto sort" "why do we have to ID items" and all the usual nonsense from way too many new / d4 players

Yeah there's no chance Precia will last longer than a month, they dont want anyone playing PoE 1, ugh

I was actually looking forward to oldscool Hc racing Events or even Seasons like early Poe1 had.

With much shorter time frames and objectives, start with racing to kill A1 Boss , master A1 first and gradually advance through the campaign.

Then later events where one starts in Level 2 with some basic gear/special uniques too choose from and let us race just that one Act.

Make it so that the time counts only per character.
Make the events in way that top players finish in less than an hour, but leave the event running for ~2-3, so that people can have second/third shots. (in hc)

You had all these systems and they where great, what happened to the old team ?

There are so many, much more interesting options than this.

But most importantly.., make it a community-engaging event where everyone could have a chance of getting "something and be motivated to improve their skill and strategy from run to run, race to race.



The way this event is designed, the only thing the community is invited to do, is to watch their favourites streamers compete.

Especially as going through all 3 acts "flawlessly" to be that one person of you class for your attempt to matter is such a huge barrier of entry.

Why not design it more in a way of asking everyone

"Hey.., how fast can you go ?"
(ideally hc but I guess that's too much to ask these days, but if made with shorter time events with multiple shots, I think even some sc people might give it a shot, couldn't hurt)

And make them feel good for

a) trying at all
b) getting better, even incrementally..while still being far off top competitors.
