I can see us adding a "softcore race and hardcore race" set of forums but how will this be any different tho? You will still need to tag posts as "[1 week], [2 week], [turmoil]". We would not create separate forums for each event as we don't have the activity to warrant it.

That being said, I still think for now it's best to just tag your posts and put them in the current forums. If we notice a ton of activity with tagged posts we can easily make the event forums and move all related posts.

Pretty good idea. Because once the next race starts, people will start posting in that forum again. And then once the next race starts after that.. They'll use that forum as basically for the "temp races" trading forum section.

So it will solve future issues with races as well. When the race ends, those topics will slowly die anyway. Just my opinion, I am not sure if it's 100% sufficient for a fix however.

Last race was like half a year ago,they can not overlap especially if there would be a SC and HC versions.

Your idea works great on paper but in reality people just forget to use tags all the time and we have to check the treads because it is where people say "Softcore race btw" and so on.

Understood, provide me with the details of the upcoming race events so I can look further into this.

Thanks.

Usually we have about 2-3 months a year dedicated to races in PoE, races does not overlap with each other but they overlap with Leagues (upcoming race will be run in parallel with the current League, creating an enormous clusterfuck in league subforums).

Next event starts tomorrow, https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2135844 hence all the fuss.

It is going to be a one month long event, and as all the events so far had both SC and HC versions so it would be much appreciated to have both Softcore and Hardcore event subforums.

Thanks in advance

Not specifically for race events which is what they are asking for.

My personal thought is that hc/sc for the race do not need to be separate forums, just one lump race forum and then its much easier for people to just identify hc or sc via tagging.

Hopefully your questions have been answered regarding the mechanics of race events. But as I mentioned before it should work well just to re-purpose the existing beta forum.

So your suggestion is to just re-purpose the beta forum to be a collective HC/SC "Race Event Trading" forum? https://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=347
