Season One, Race Event 21: One Week Party

Echoing.

Love One week party race. Horrible price structure makes NO incentive for many to play knowing full well that we have no chance to get any points.

heh all these races are just wrong for a normal player.
only feeding the elites with these races.
How many wreathes do you give the same winner. Or do you just continue to feed the same winners with different distinctive gear.

.

Deleted my little rant. Who cares. Im done with these races until they are more reasonable in both their execution and incentives.

I will participate. 80% of the people crying about this idea will attempt this and when the 1-3hr events are on they can quickly do that, then come right back to the week event. Good luck to all the participants.

I get what u are saying about if u add lvl brackets. Any good player who doesnt make it in the top 500 but still get a good lvl bracket would feel mandatory to do other races too. Never the less its not a reason to rewards not everyone else. So here is what i think u should change it to:

The top players by experience will receive:
#1 player: 60 Reward Points
#2 player: 50 Reward Points
#3 player: 45 Reward Points
#4 player: 42 Reward Points
#5 player: 40 Reward Points
#6 player: 38 Reward Points
#7 player: 36 Reward Points
#8 player: 34 Reward Points
#9 player: 32 Reward Points
#10 player: 30 Reward Points
#11-20 players: 25 Reward Points
#21-50 players: 20 Reward Points
#51-200 players: 15 Reward Points
#201-500 players: 12 Reward Points
#501-1000 players: 9 Reward Points
#1001-5000 players: 6 Reward Points
#5001-10000 players: 3 Reward Points

PS: And thanks for the 1 point rewards even though everyone bashed me after i posted that ^^

no level points??? :( :(
give some points for certain levels achieved for the normal players plz
right now u need to be a nolifer playing 12h a day whole week to get any points :S

They should play because they're going to have fun or because they think they can do it better than other players.

nolifing 12h a day for a week to get some points is not fun!!! maybe for hardcore gamers
but sure is not fun for casuals like me and i would not mind low points on level achieved
i would be happy to get a lvl 60 play like few h a day and have fun and get 4-5 points for it
right now i have no way to get any points and i dont want to do the short races allways because they get boring

Everything that I think has already been said, it's not worth it.

Aside from that, I think the week-month long races should be changed to ladder leagues. Ladder leagues would essentially be races, but, without the tension of knowing it's a race. Imagine a 3 month league with great rewards, on hardcore of course. It would greatly increase the lifespan of the game by giving people a reason to reroll and try out new builds, thus increasing player activity as well as generating more income for the company.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, the game is meant for the hardcore, but, if you only cater to the hardcore, you won't make enough money to sustain the game. Therefore, you need to cater to the average gamer and the hardcore gamer, while not necessarily having to cater to the super casuals (couple hours a week players).

Another thing I'd like to point out, is that while a one week race sounds good on paper, it can and will cause problems for player's real lives, as opposed to a month long, or 3 month long race, where you don't feel forced to play nonstop for a week straight. If someone dies from playing a week straight during a race in real life, it's bad publicity. While ultimately it is entirely the gamer's fault, there are measures that GGG need to take in order to ensure this won't happen.

A one week race is essentially the worst time frame you could do, because it's possible for a human to stay up for 7 days straight, and incredibly unhealthy. As for a month, or 3 month race, people will know they can sleep, and won't have to worry constantly about being passed, it is much healthier for the player and the game. Same with 1-5 hour races.

Long term races are great, please don't do away with them, just make them longer than a week. Just think about what I said about people staying up for 7 days straight, because you know people WILL do it.

@Semune: i dont fully agree with you because youre obviously not considering one important thing....those crazy nolife nuts would play a couple of days without sleeping even if there was no race ;)

as other said rewards are too low,you have to play whole week for 2 points? and even that if you get to first 500,there is no point except for best among us ,but even they can earn more from hour races,so it s only for ego-maniacs... add points for reaching some levels,this is one week,rewards should be much much higher then for hour races,because of the time investment and higher probability of death in longer period...
