Announcing the One-Month Leagues (and Ambush/Invasion Challenge Winners)
The starting time in the PDT timezone is 5pm Friday July 11. This is 2am on Saturday in the CEST timezone.
The primary event is a non-hardcore event (deaths don't cause your character to leave the event), but we're also running a hardcore event with the same rules for people who want an extra challenge. We've had many requests to bring back previous league properties in interesting combinations for a race event. This one-month event has the following seven sets of properties, lasting for four days each:
To describe each of these properties:
League-specific uniques will not spawn in this event. Prizes 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. Both the events draw from the same prize pool (i.e. it doesn't matter which you enter, but if you want an extra challenge, play in the hardcore one). Dead hardcore characters are eligible for prizes corresponding to the level they reached. Prizes available in the random draw include:
In addition, the top five players (from each event) by experience will receive an alternate-art Demigod's Bounty. If multiple players are tied at level 100, then the first five players to reach it will receive the prize. Other Rules
Ambush/Invasion Challenge Winners The following 14 users achieved 8/8 challenges in the Ambush/Invasion leagues. We'll be sending them an exclusive challenge t-shirt as a prize.
We've received a lot of feedback about the recent challenges and have taken it on board for the design of the next set of challenges. More information will be made available as we release information on the expansion in the coming month! Última edição por Chris em 7 de jul de 2014 23:33:25

The antagonizing 'Standard versus Hardcore' posts need to stop. Accounts may be probated if they continue with comments of this nature.
Edit: Users are free to say what they like or don't like about the league if they wish; but saying one group of players is better or worse than others is not okay. Última edição por Michael_GGG em 7 de jul de 2014 03:38:27

" We understand Hardcore players are passionate, and like I said it's okay for people to post their feelings about it here, please do so - this warning is only to anyone who is bagging on one league community or the other, Standard or Hardcore. |
|
" No, I see anymore of this and you will get probated. |
|
" I can't speak for the design team, but it's perhaps worth thinking of the one-month league as more of a complimentary entree leading up to the new Hardcore and Standard leagues in August, please don't mistake it for the main meal. Additionally, as others have pointed out prior special events have been done for Hardcore in the past. |
|
" It's currently after-hours here so it's more likely the developers will be reading the thread tomorrow. " " My speculation here is that it's partly due to the time required to design and balance two one-month leagues over just one (time that could be used for the actual new leagues in August) especially considering the care that's required to make something actually fun and worthy for hardcore, rather than just frustrating. |
|
" Also please remember to keep discussion on topic. Posts of this nature will be removed and the user may also be placed on probation Please contact support@grindinggear.com if you need any help.

I've updated the original post with news about the (identical) hardcore event we'll be running at the same time.
