Race and Season Feedback - What's happening this Sunday? - Forum

Reading the schedule to see what races I can participate in this week, and specially at the weekend when I can play a bit more, I see a huge timeframe empty at sunday. From Descent Champ (71) at 8.00 AM at my timezone, there is nothing more in the entire day! I'm not even sure if I'll be able to wake up that early. I know that GGG don't want to repeat a big number of races per season like some seasons ago (it was pretty nice for those like me without a lot of time to play though), and its very difficult to accommodate a single schedule for all time frames, but I think the weekend days should never have these black holes. ♠RaGoN♦	Posted by RaGoNXIII#1248 on Jan 21, 2014, 7:55:48 AM Quote this Post
It's because of the weeklong race that starts just before it. GGG schedules less races during a 1-weeker, presumably to reduce scheduling overlaps. Think of it as a mid-season break.	Posted by PolarisOrbit#5098 on Jan 21, 2014, 8:03:07 AM Quote this Post

So they left Fun races and Signature races. They forgot to remove signature races this season, when they re-added demis to them.

The signatures were always intended to be played through the 1 week races Last edited by Rithz#0502 on Jan 21, 2014, 7:00:20 PM	Posted by Rithz#0502 on Jan 21, 2014, 6:59:59 PM Quote this Post

Now they do, so i'm pretty sure the people who complained about demi-races during 1 week races back in season 1/2 (which GGG heeded and changed), would complain about this.

so basically we can't race much for a week so that top racers, who are doing 1-week, don't miss out on any good races? Last edited by Antistes#4850 on Jan 26, 2014, 11:28:35 AM	Posted by Antistes#4850 on Jan 26, 2014, 11:28:14 AM Quote this Post

I assume this is because it wasn't directly relevant back then. All that tells me is that the PoE community consists of a bunch of short-sighted nitwits who can't identify a problem until it's right in their face. Really, I warned people that this would happen, that 1 week races fuck up the race schedule and nobody gave a fuck. And now that it is a problem I have no sympathies for all you short-sighted whiners. Learn to identify problems before it's too late, that's my suggestion to you people. Use your brains, IF you have brains that is. I'm confused about what you would have us do. I put posts in reddit and feedback forum last season. Saw the interview recently with Chris where he said they paid more attention to feedback in racing subforum, so I've posted in racing subforum.

How is insulting people gonna help the cause? you are pissed that we didn't notice your feedback when you gave it, big whoop, get over yourself. not everyone has time 24/7 to read every thread in the forums and post feedback. We are giving the feedback now and feedback is always better that no feedback, despite the fact that we didn't post in your thread when you wanted us to.
