Three hour party. That will rock;)

The top ten will probably be level 50-53 thats for sure, i think small overleveling before Piety/Malachai will be necessary depending on drop-luck.

imo the point system for several hour races, like this 3h race, isnt fair. at the end you get the same amount of points for racing 3 hours as you do for racing 1 hour.
should it not also reward the amount of time spent in the race?
guess a fair system would be to continue a similar point system as in a 1h race just into the higher levels, maybe something like this:

Level 40: 18 Reward Points.
Level 34-39: 14 Reward Points.
Level 29-33: 11 Reward Points.
Level 24-28: 9 Reward Points.
Level 19-23: 7 Reward Points.
Level 14-18: 5 Reward Points.
Level 7-13: 3 Reward Point.

you still would not get the same time/points ratio as in a 1h race but at least it would be nearly double the amount for 3x time effort. so the point rewards could even be a bit higher to make it fair or you could say its less coz its a party race.

this would prolly also motivate more players to participate in the race because long and group races arent that popular as the short ones already.

imo, yes

Just my personal preference, but I like 40 or 60 minute races. If it lasts much longer, I'd rather play my regular character. More points would be an incentive to race, it's a difference to reach lvl 12 or 19 for 4 points.

But, tbh, it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, I played some poe.

Three hours and only the same amount of points as for one hour? No, thanks. Skipping.
You will get relatively easy 6 Points in a Party if the members dont plit up to much and try to stay together the most time for max exp gain.

In +1hr races its worth to pick up the tidal island quest for the quicksilver.
