Thanks @mattclarke for organising the exciting 24hr HC PoE race! Not sure if I caught up in the frog-eye-poking section but the race against time was on.
I thought I could set up my character the way I had previously played on my first character; but being new to the game and first time experiencing the start of a new league; the new/changes to skills and gear threw me off guard. But it was interesting and fun to see new things.
OneCrazyCatLady - Witch L39 - Surprising still alive and kicking; but I ran out of time.
SuperJuJu - Scion L3 - Created this as a back up; but realised I didn't know how to build her. Wasted time trying to figure it out; I should have known not try a Scion considering I haven't played an other classes besides a witch. I have no idea about any of the other skills/abilities. But I thought maybe she would be easy to get into; boy was I wrong.
I tried @linnyplant; but I don't think it was enough; I was so dead tired when I got home and struggled to process anything new in my head. Also I wont be able to start a new character anytime soon; I received 2 new projects last night. So make sure you post about your experience to keep me updated! But first; I am waiting for your post on how your experience went with the race. After you catch some zzzz that is. 😘
How come I didn't get an alert for this earlier! Busy is getting weirder and weirder. It seems so all over the place with alerts lately. ANYWAY, I didn't catch you at the end. I was in trauma and also dead tired and sleepy. hahaha
YOU DID AMAZING! Read my post that I just put out. I know by how many people I chat to that attempting Hardcore with our level of experience and also at league start isn't usually the thing. hehehe I couldn't even find any hardcore players to speak to even in a hardcore voice channel. It was filled with Softcore people! One guy on that voice was telling me he could not get past Kole, he's the big guy you would have had to fight in the Lunaris temple after many many attemps. Not many people would attempt hardcore the way we did, so not bad considering our limited experience. You're a winner in my books to end up with one alive! <3
I'm not sure about you, but I plan to have at least another attempt during the course of Synthesis. To see if I can do better than 38 after some more experience. If I continue to play PoE, I will always play a Hardcore SSF character anyway. It forces me to pay attention and if you google more on racing strategies, it's quite fascinating how technical it is. So I hope you stay with me and play as soon as you have free time again. I would miss you otherwise! You should really give voice on discord a go, it's good!
