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 Time based events: Time based events are designed to create a competitive environment where players compete not by character experience, but by their ability to progress through the game and complete specific objectives, such as killing bosses. The boss required to be defeated for this race is: Brutus, located in The Upper Prison. The time recorded is based from the beginning of the race, not when your character is created.

Characters who die after completing the objective, will still be counted for receiving reward points except for the level-specific prizes.

I like these Kill races (second place after Tempest). You have much time and get the most points out of it, even if you dont rush. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore "A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see. She hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body."

I totally agree with you, they are a great way to get some solid points. 10001110101	Posted by TylerKinkade#0130 on Jul 29, 2015, 11:17:34 AM Quote this Post

Sooo, basically you like the race because it's easy to pretend it's not a race. I think the point values on this need to be lowered, it's pretty insane that you can get 8 points in an hour race while not even trying to 'race'. Or at least lower the time limit down to 40(?) minutes to create some pressure to finish more quickly. Or maybe I'm just salty.

You are just salty. If people enjoy something, you shouldn't make it harder so they enjoy it less. It is after all a game, played for enjoyment.	Posted by FredDietz#4266 on Jul 29, 2015, 3:07:33 PM Quote this Post
Indeed the timelimit is very generous for a Brutus kill. But even if it was only 40 minutes that wouldnt change much. But thats not the point. I level everytime to the last second and the Brutus kill is just a 'free bonus' or motivation to rush even farther ino act 2.

I'd set it to 30 or 35 minutes so it's open to everyone. I've seen people kill Brutus in 12 minute bursts in the past, to put some perspective on it.

Why shouldn't we get an extra point for Brutus and one for Merveil in the ember race? They do more damage and getting to them is harder. No reason to be so stingy on the "Signature" races. Seems like lots of people are just skipping them.	Posted by OldmanBlackdragon#4644 on Jul 29, 2015, 4:02:40 PM Quote this Post

This is a way to lure more people in. It's just a game, after all. The leader board is there for the very few who are actually competitive in races. That's where all of the chest beating happens. As long as people are having fun, who cares?	Posted by Deleted on Jul 29, 2015, 4:11:29 PM
