Three days of desperation, exhaustion and glory ahead. Let's get started shall we?

in #poecomp7 years ago (edited)

I'd like to thank the eleven contenders below for their willingness to jump in and have a crack at the title.

I've tweaked things a little this time. The highest level hardcore (has never died) character from each class wins 20 steem.
There'll be another 20 steem for the overall winner.
The players can see each other's accounts, including class and current level of each of their characters.
This should give us a great depth of strategy. Players can have as many characters as they like, but have to decide how many classes to devote their time to; and have a chance to revisit those choices after each death.

There will be many such deaths.

Can beercake back it up for another win or will his birthday celebration get in the way?
Will a newcomer turn out to be a sleeping giant?

They'll be posting and streaming with the #poecomp tag, so show support, encouragement and mocking derision as required.

Which class will hit the highest level and take out the double prize before the countdown hits zero?
Tell us the order you think the classes will rank from highest to lowest, in the comments.
If anyone gets it exactly right, I'll award them 10 STEEM.
Quick edit: Post your guess within the first 12 hours of the competition to be eligible.



Let the bodies hit the floor.

@rewards-pool where a small delegation can get you a big splash.

Finally it's over!

Holy shit I remember this game! I used to play this game heaps every season!! I also played D3 a lot, hope to hear more from you soon :)

I'm planning on running a new race each league; so follow me to be notified when the next one launches.

Sure! I might get back into POE just for this ;)
Already followed you just then, seems like we have a lot in common + both from Australia! What Australian Discords and communities are there on Steemit?

Hi, Matt tagged me. Yes, you are welcome to join Team Aus. Please see this post for details and get back to me if you want in.
https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@choogirl/team-australia-new-recruits-30-05-18-and-meeting-more-steemians-in-real-life

We're actually pretty active. #teamaustralia is the big one. There are a couple of discord channels we use.
I mostly frequent the Australia channel in the MSP #minnowsupportproject server. (mattclarke#6202), but there's another Aussie/NZ one kicking about.
Talk to @choogirl our recruiter about joining teamaustralia, and she'll include you in one of her new recruits post.
Where are you?
Edit; - nvm. Just saw Sydney. @bearone organised a meetup there only a month or so back.
She's out in the blue mountains; we're having the Christmas party at her house this year :)

Oh shit, I just saw this reply, thanks for the reply :D
I'll definitely talk to @choogirl when I get the chance to and I'll add you on discord now :D

Got to eat then setup ready for streaming. Had to unplug the webcam though as I need a stronger power supply and the webcam was causing problems. :(
But hoping to split streams into maybe 5 hour runs to give a break in between.

Good luck to us all!

Nice! How do you register in the runs? I would be very interested in the next one if there will be more

Keep an eye on the #poecomp tag or follow me for announcement posts.
I enjoy running them, so I'll more than likely keep holding races with each new league.
Be great to have you in the mix.

Am I uh, eligible for this, or did I totally create my entry post too late? Knew I shouldn't have waited until I downloaded it, lol.

Sorry mate. Your entry was a couple of hours late. If it's any consolation, @dunstuff was only about 5 minutes late.
Because all the competitors need to know the account details of all the other competitors, to keep track, I need to be a stickler and only accept entries before the league starts, so they can be included in the starting post.
I'll be launching again in 3 months, and would love to have you onboard.

No worries, that makes sense to have a deadline for the contest. Forgot how much fun POE can be!

Glad to see you after a long time mate.
Sadly i am not a gamer :'( can't tell you about class.

I have no idea about how to play this and even I am not much interested in the gaming!
I am resteeming for my followers, if they could partake. :)

They'll need to wait 3 months to get in on the next one. They're welcome to practice in the meantime though :)

Nooooooo!!!!!! I was 101 in queue and then it died now 41k awwww.

Good luck everyone! My guesses for top levels. From highest to lowest: Marauder, Templar, Shadow, Ranger, Scion, Witch, and Duelist.

First time I've seen them reset then entire league before for "fairness"

I can't get dlive to work the way I want it to, so I might have to postpone any video antics for another time. There is currently a queue to use the server as they are offline right now, but best of luck to everyone.

Awww sucks man, Some times it take moment for dlive to "work" after you click the button. Have a good time. I was hoping this time they have a decent launch already on my 3rd time getting back into que. I hope they fix it fast!

Anyways have an amazing time and good luck!

It took me a while to figure it out. I am in now.
I doubt I will get very far, having to create a new character each time.

And now it's down for maintenance. I think we overloaded their servers.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

i am following you @mattclarke and I do not understand about this contest yet I want to participate

Hi @irsyadillah. You're welcome to join in on the next competition when the new League launches, probably in around 3 months time.
Spend some time between now and then downloading the game and learning how to play.

You find anything to settle into? I'm still just messing around with different things. I can see why you like to summon. She dead that all I know for sure. Could not tell you which one of them did it lol.

You pick up a few minion nodes on the skill tree and maybe Vitality to give them some regen, you've got yourself a hitsquad.
I spend most of my time opening chests :)

I looted Vaal Summon Skeletons so I thought why not give it a try.

It's still a staple for me with my softcore templar. Almost level 70 and it's the only vaal gem I'm running. They get a good workout those skeletons :)

Vaal summon skeletons ties in with that nicely. It's not just about the number of swords they bring to the table, they also dilute enemy attacks.
If you're only one of 30 good guys on screen, you're only copping 1/30th of their attacks.
I'd be angling toward necromantic aegis and support the skeleton army with increased duration. Get a big heavy shield and you can take Strongboxes, Essence monsters, etc with ease.
