Announcing the First Path of Exile 2 Race Event

With 6 prizes who is this event even for?

There's like 60000 people playing right now on steam alone

6 people is 0.01% of those players

And the a timeline for the next update is a whole month?

I get that the content drop is relegated to large updates with economy resets but damn dude

Guess I'll be playing again in mid-March to early-April? aight I guess




Who cares if its only aimed at very few dedicated who always have (que prio) ermm will and time to play 24h straight. Nice community event where any casual bob d have something for his hard earned lvlv 20 d be perhaps nice, this is garbage.
Imagine running through these terrible, giant layouts, with hundreds of dead ends, in the same acts, for some helmet... Bruh.
I have a question about how race time will count? Will it be from the start of the race or it will just playtime?
In all honestly, I wouldn't clear the campaign again for $500 money 100% given to me at the end. Could go to work and make triple in the amount of time it takes lol. A race in the slowest ARPG on the market, riveting.
you ever stop and think maybe you are just bad at it?
I don't have the time and energy to compete with nolifers, who play 18 hours a day. Thanks for the event I lost in advance. Bye.

They do have an event for casuals its called Legacy of Phrecia.
Nice.

But having realistically zero chance to win makes me not want to invest time into figuring out the speedrun strats.

There should be several time cut offs in the race. And by completing the task within that time you should be eligible for various mini prizes. No matter how miniscule those prizes are.

It's not participation prizes. You still need to show a good time. But there should be at least something to win for average joes who are ready to make an effort. With superprizes for ultimate winners, of course.

Anyhow, good luck to everybody. I bet it will be fun to watch.
We should have this instead of checkpoints: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3677132
0.2.0 content update, which we expect to release in approximately one month? new class or new act? becase i cant play a race with only speeding race? that is not fun!! Maybe very fun for all streamers? for me i like testing new patches with content like, new items, new spells, new classes or new areas!
Poe veteran! Have been here sense November 2010.
