From May 10 to 24 (US time), we'll be running a two week Path of Exile Ambush/Invasion race event to benefit the Child's Play charity. Child's Play is a charitable organisation that raises money to provide toys and games for children in over 70 hospitals worldwide. To support the charity, we're introducing an exclusive new helmet skin called the Angelic Mask. It's only available during the two week event and 100% of the proceeds will be directly donated to the Child's Play charity on your behalf. It's priced at $5 which is hopefully a nice easy amount that everyone is comfortable donating. To purchase it, click here! Event Prizes: Due to the generosity of our gaming hardware partners, we have some awesome prizes to give out. We've tried hard to make sure that everyone has a chance to win these hardware prizes, so we've pitched them at lower levels of participation. We'll pick winners randomly from the people who reach the following levels or higher. The prize levels continue to stack as you level up. You can win prizes from multiple tiers. Prizes available in the random draw include:
In addition, the top 5 players (ranked by experience) will receive an Alternate Art Demigod's Bounty unique item. Specific Information:
Other Rules:
Suggested Character Build Guide (Build of the Week Season 2 Episode 4): This week's Build of the Week video shows an example character build that would work well in this event. If you (or your friends) are struggling to work out what build to play, then give it a shot with this one. We'll be updating this thread with more information as it becomes available. We'll create a link to purchase the Angelic Mask (with all proceeds going to the Child's Play charity) once the event starts. We really look forward to seeing you there! |

" Yeah, it's a $5 purchase where we pass the money to the charity once the event ends. It's a good opportunity for people to get a cool-looking cheap helmet skin and help some kids at the same time. " We'll try to live up to your expectations :) |
|
" I am pretty sure that it counts as a 90 in Invasion. I don't know if there will be an Ambush race but I'll check with the race planner guys tomorrow. |

" That's okay. Let's hope the prize finds a good home. " It's fine to play with your roommate on the same IP. |
|
" It's a direct $5 payment. |
|
" We can't take Steam Wallet payments for this donation, unfortunately. We're basically going to collect the money and pass it on to the charity. The situation with Steam payments is more complex. |
|
" Yep. " It disconnects instantly. " Sure, just be logged into their account when you make a second payment and it'll go to their mtx stash. " We'll certainly try to ship anywhere! " We'll also provide a link to their donation page for larger donations. Just let us know how much you sent to them directly so that we can include it in the totals when we show off how generous our community is :) |
