Path of Exile | My Intention To Compete In Metamorph Hardcore SSF RacesteemCreated with Sketch.

Let the bodies hit the floor and cut the flesh while it’s still warm and tender from the competitors. You would think Christmas has been canceled from Path of Exile with how dark-themed the Metamorph challenge league is shaping up to be. More on that in another post where I give my thoughts leading up to this league before it starts.

As fate would have it, @Mattclarke is hosting a 24-hour hardcore solo self-found race and he even managed to grab some sponsors to boost the rewards. To find out more visit his post Three days until the big race for the detail on how to enter.

For those not in the know as you live in a deep dark dungeon. Path of Exile is free to play ARPG and in my opinion one of the best ones out there at this time. You could go download the game right now and join us for a bit of rippy fun in this hardcore race. I’m sure you will do fine and die less than I do.

Speaking of death I’ve joined in on a few of these hardcore races in the past. I’m more of a play in the softcore league pool and jump into the freezing hardcore one once a league. Which from how amazing Path of Exile is of a game we get a couple of these a year and they tend to be game-changers.

I’ve died everywhere and on everything. From spikes, bosses, Kitava (don’t know who that is? Oh you will dear Exile), lag and not always the one in-game. Who knows what final fate awaits my characters.

For me, these have turned into more of a tradition of entering them and getting the floor wiped of me than anything else. While I have won some races in the past and hope to add another notch to my belt. I just enter them for the fun of it-- mostly.

This time around I’m thinking I’ll be playing a Shadow. It’s been one of my more favorite classes as I prefer being up close and personal. While also being a bit nimble and fast enough to not get one-shot most of the time.

As always I’m coming into this a bit rusty. Once I had finished off the content I wanted to make last league I stopped playing. I’ve only logged in to check out some sweet cosmetic skins I won. Thankfully I no longer look like a peasant after a number of years playing this game.

I will be playing on the same account as I have in the past. Somewhere in that long list of the character of which I need to delete some will be a new one(s). For those who love checking in on level progress.

December is quite a busy month for me. I’ve done my best to clear out my schedule. I also plan on playing it casual and taking my time leveling. This, however, might change if anything comes up. I can and have made some mad dashes in the past from getting killed or being low on time.

With some of the changes that are coming our way this league along with the main game. Rushing might be a fool’s errand and a sure way to end up in the graveyard. In which case I have some Black Label whiskey to keep me warm and wash away those deaths.

Cheers!

Excellent. Shaping up to be another fantastic race.
Fully empathise with this;

I’ve died everywhere and on everything. From spikes, bosses, Kitava (don’t know who that is? Oh you will dear Exile), lag and not always the one in-game.

Seems Avarius, who was my roadblock for so long, is barely a speedbump now. My last 3 have died at or near Kitava. I've only got one char past him; and I was still celebrating a few mins later when some prophecy Devourers wrecked me in the Twilight Strand.
Almost got up to him again yesterday and failed to identify a rare strongbox.
Gotta show a bit more self-discipline in that. Over-confidence gets me every time.

Assuming the revamped bosses are in this. We all might not even make it past Act I!

Over confidence should get many killed this time around. Will be interesting to see who is able to pick themselves back up and try again.

Haha awesome.

I have that game installed and ready to play but haven’t much. Perhaps it was because the timing was right after a lengthy Diablo campaign and it wasn’t thrilling out of the gate.

Anyhow, it will be good to follow the adventure and sip some whisky. Good luck man!

Once you get up into maps in Path of Exile they have you hooked!

I use to play D3 for a while. I'm more of a season/league kind of player. I'm hoping D4 will be amazing. I've not played the older Diablos in quite some time.

Yah man. D4 looks to be more gothic and evil which would be nice. It is vapourware though so I try not to pay it too much mind til beta.

Looking forward to seeing you Kickass and have fun.

Good luck!!

You share your whiskey and I'll share my honey bourbon. May our poor Exiles wither and die in flames, and may we be numbed to their pain!

(Or may they survive, and may we celebrate! haha!) 🎉

Hehe, we would both be too drunk to get out of the first zone.
