Just ran my first race, exiles everywhere. Made it to level 13 with a shadow, spent a lot of time resetting instances for certain exile combos and didn't craft a +1 for my freeze pulse. With more confidence to run through bad packs and more preparation, I think I could have hit the first level target. I'm pretty happy with not having died though.

Goa Tse-tung posted:they changed BLAMT so now every character starts with a crude bow lol really? If that isn't an acknowledgement of the broken level of 'challenge' in that race mode idk what is. Also, lets go back to ~2013 for a second: "Melee is broken." BLAMT is just not fun.

"Fixed Seed: All instances of a given area have the same area layout, for all players. Multiple Race Events will regularly have the same seed. That is, the instance area layouts will be same in all the races of a fixed seed set. This includes all Signature events." that's the ggg i know and love

That said it's really dumb. If you don't have a logout macro and a lot of experience playing Hardcore, don't bother; you probably won't even get to the first waypoint. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Jun 4, 2017 |

I made it past hillock, but not to the tidal island unfortunately. Not so sure I want to play 5 acts of basic bow attacks.

Goddamn I love BLAMT. Took me a few tries but I'm finally past ledge. When you can't dodge poo poo it gets reaaaaally sketchy, and I don't want to use a logout macro so I have to whittle down mob groups between town trips.

I have no idea what the gently caress I'm doing in PoE, but tried out the Exiles race and BLAMT for a laugh. In BLAMT I cleared the little island thing that has the quest for the quicksilver flask and got murdered by angry Rhoa in the Mud Flats. In Exiles I spent 40 minutes rerolling characters after being murdered 2 feet out of town and ended at level 4. Game's good!

The fact that you beat tidal island in BLAMT is fairly impressive, it's probably the hardest of all the events.

BLAMT gets easier as you go along and get better geared, and since you have 24 hours you can farm safer areas for currency/drops and only push on when you're totally safe. It also helps to spend the majority of your points on more life/ES, evasion/armor and resists.

After 5 slow and steady hours I am finally at the start of Act 3 in the BLAMT race. It's mostly been pretty fun, aside from Brutus, who was hell on earth. No deaths yet, had one disconnect but it was in a safe place.

I'm most of the way through act 2 in blamt, gonna get some sleep and see if I can at least get through act3 before the time runs out. I'd be pretty happy with that.

Couple hours, made it to the Ledge on my third character. Gonna see if I can get through act 1 tomorrow. BLAMT is ridiculously evil, it's good poo poo. Probably going to play some of Uber Beyond and then take a break until the 2hour Monstrous Treasure and 2hour Headhunter races.

Jesus apparently Helmann would have gotten first in that BLAMT race except he died to Malachai at around 4:07, Steel ended up killing Malachai at 4:14. And of course Steel and Fightgarr are the first two to finish it.

Motherfucker, Abomination Piety just put an end to my BLAMT run thanks to my logout macro deciding it was time to ignore my key presses. Has anyone else found this happening, my other macros were working fine? Some highlights of the run: Found an araku tiki pretty early which really helped. Found a koam's cache which gave me a koam's primacy that I vendored immediately in disgust. Found some abberaths hooves which will sell nicely in standard, a league i never play. A stibnite flask I found was a real mvp in a lot of situations. King Koam phase 3 is nuts and it took me about 5 logouts to do it. Level reached 40, time played 10 hours 53 minutes Stangg fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Jun 4, 2017 |

I made it through Act 1 and called it there. I was surprised I made it past Brutus, and he kinda feels like the biggest hump for a while - you still have to play carefully, but you can really just make steady progress after that.

Uber beyond race is real fun but real rippy Just died at level 21.8 after taking it super slow, so bye to the mtx I guess. I'm not even using the few mtx I have gotten from just playing in leagues so I'm not too sad though. I kept accidentally spawning Haast in Chamber of Sins level 1 which was real funny, had to run out and reset the instance no less than 4 times.

Insurrectionist posted:Uber beyond race is real fun but real rippy Yeah this one was crazy in a more fun way than the clusterfuck that million-invaders or blamt is. I played really cautiously (probably overly so) and got to level 23. I killed as little as possible in Chamber of Sins because there was no room to run away if something nasty spawned. I was too scared to take on Weaver (killing a million spiders in a tiny boss room) so I spent about 5 levels running round Western Forest.
