RE: Some epic fails in this race, but none as epic as mine.

in #poecomp6 years ago (edited)

Like @supersoju and @ratticus, you've really been good for me on this PoE journey. I know going in the HC is not a format you had experience in, but never mind that, this will be great practice for the next one!! Your results for this one was fabulous anyway. I don't think there's any dishonor in ending the race dead, it just means you pushed as hard as you could.

So you were part of the inspiration for me being able to defeat Dominus. I couldn't mention it at the time you PM-ed me. I was just so tired by that point. But while I didn't get to exploring traps like you suggested, I did the next best thing with totems! See? You're always encouraging me to consider new ways to play. It's been great to see you not be fearful of failure and jumping into HC SSF, it's not for the fainthearted that's for sure!

Big thanks for all the time and lessons learned you share with me! A lot more experienced players try to give me advice, but they lack the empathy to understand or remember what it is like to be new to all of this, and honestly, their advice are rarely practical for my style or circumstances!

Thank you for taking the time to enter the race and following through to the deadly end.
More love to you! <3

EDIT: I should have added @mattclarke has been top of the list in pushing me along this journey, but it was a given to me. Best I add it though just in case he gets the wrong impression. haha

You are welcome dear @linnyplant, and it was really nothing, you too have inspired me a lot during the journey, and I learned a lot of things from you as well, during the race I usually peeked on your character in my friends list to see which act you are in, and when I saw that you made it past Dominus I was really happy, :D looking forward for the next race.

I don't think there's any dishonor in ending the race dead, it just means you pushed as hard as you could.

Could not agree more. If anything, the devastation of losing a treasured contender means winning costs a lot less than losing.
