Path of Exile: Entry Into Betrayal SSF Hardcore Race

in #poecomp5 years ago (edited)

Path of Exile game has been a big part of my blog for a while. I was going make a hardcore character and get him killed after a few hours in. Then post with a one for my homie meme out of it; before, slinking off to softcore. Since @mattclarke is hosting a 24-hour race I’ll try and avoid my original plans and go for the gold instead! The league starts on Friday as we can see in this countdown timer on the games website

Recaps From My Last Attempts

I have been attending and writing about my trials and victories during this hardcore race for a couple of leagues now. It is just something fun to do and a great way to see who else is playing Path of Exile (PoE) on Steemit. It is a great community that tends to show up around each league start for a couple of weeks and then they go back to other stuff till next league.

While I have quite a lot of hours under my belt in this game I’m also rather rusty each league as I take long breaks between each one. I think it has been nearly three months since the last time I played. I had put aside some time tonight/tomorrow to take a look at the current meta and get a practice run in. I just really enjoy the mad rush at league start.

Requirements Bit

They have always been fun and challenging as most of my hours spent in this game have been in softcore. So it is a different playstyle then I’m used to. In hardcore getting killed and that character is done. You get to start all over and maybe if you are lucky you remember to put some stuff in the bank before it happens. This is also a solo self-found so no trading with others players! Which adds an even more fun element to the gameplay. As you just get to play and not spend hours trying a trade.

My account that I’ll be playing from for my levels, deaths, and loot acquired can be tracked from. Looks like I need to do some bank and character cleanup before this event starts!

Shadow tends to be my league opener but I’m not opposed to trying anything else that looks interesting. I tend to stay away from ranger, marauder, and scion as I just don’t find much fun in those classes as a league starter. To each their own though I’m sure someone out there loves those and can clean the floor of me with them! I tend to go for melee or totems as a starter and sometimes will play an entire league with soothing like totems. They are just a great cheap way to enjoy the game without having to do a lot of farming.

Since this is a 24-hour race I’m going to start off by going at a slower safe pace and pushing hard towards the end. I think the first 10 or so levels I’ll take it easy as I get back into the game. After act I or even II I’ll start to go a bit faster. I might be a little delayed from starting when the league starts.

I don’t normally check in on how everyone is doing very often. Unless I’m taking a break and looking to read up on how others are doing or checking in on those who remain silent!

If you have never played the game or never enter this race you should give it a try! You can find out more about this race and how to enter it on Steemit from 24-hour Hardcore race. 160 Steem to be won. You will need to download the game since it gets a major patch before the league starts everyone will have to a bit to download anyways. Though its best to get the main game download out of the way before then.

Good luck to all those who enter! May you die less then I tend to do hehe.

Looking forward to it!

And it's timed perfectly to be on a day when I'm going to be out of the house for most of the time I'd normally play. At least I'll probably play some this season, unlike last one...

It really looks like a fun one so I hope you get some time! Have a great weekend.

Yeah, me too. getting time and having the mental capacity to play are interesting. But I have completed everything I wanted to with D3 this season at least... Completed the season journey to the very end (1st time ever!) and L70 in HC for the first time too.
