Announcements - Community Racing Event This Weekend - Forum

Community Race Organizers Brittleknee and Rex are teaming up to host an Alternate Start Duos event this weekend. It takes place over two days, where Day One is centred around strategy and preparation, and Day Two is the Alternate Start race itself. Racers will compete from A10 Kitava until they defeat Awakener at Awakening Level 5. Day One: October 23rd: 9:00AM (PDT) (countdown available here) Day Two: October 24th: 9:00AM (PDT) (countdown available here) This race is open to all Qualified Racers in the PoECR Discord. To join the discord and learn more about the Qualification process, click here. Rules and Information Day One will begin with character creation. Day One will end after five hours have elapsed. Day One will be capped progression-wise before A10 Kitava. Day One will be capped at 437 million experience. This is level 72, with approximately 10% completion towards level 73. If you go beyond this, you must regress back. Materials for Regressing will not be provided. Day Two will begin with A10 Kitava at level ~ 72. Day Two will end when five duos have defeated Awakener at Awakening Level 5. You do not have to be in the boss Arena together unless you want to be. Cull is permitted, but Ascendancies cannot be changed from initial Ascension. If racers want to engage in normal Heist League content during race downtime, they will need to join the race under a racing account. Profiles must be public for the account that racers are using in the event. If an account is found to be online during downtime, if gear changes, or if XP changes, the duo will be disqualified. Prize Pool A $1000 cash prize pool is provided by Rex. 1st: 40% 2nd: 25% 3rd: 20% 4th: 10% 5th: 5% Click here to find out more information about the rules or if you'd like to contribute to the event.

Good luck to everyone participating! Whats the point when everyone can't participate? Are there ever going to be official races again? Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.

Are there ever going to be official races again? they don't want bots farming the race prizes so if you aren't a bot and are good at the game maybe you should just apply to be allowed to race idk	Posted by chesse20#1513 on Oct 21, 2020, 7:07:21 PM Quote this Post

Edit: originally said mtx prizes, they're alt arts. Double edit: I'm horrible at the game but enjoy the races. :P Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.
