We have been told "Prepare to race hard teams as the TOP 500 teams in the global rankings of the Team Race, Road to Olympus, will get access to a special Olympus Team Race in which they will compete against each other for amazing rewards!" and it seems all players on winning teams receive a scroll to qualify, but...

.... teams don't necessarily stick together. Some players may want to move on, some teams might want to remove players that don't meet their standards after they have played their part helping to win the race...

... so how does the Olympus Race work? Will only teams be eligible that consist of the original winning players? Or if 10 players have left or were removed or a combination of both, can this team only race with 20 players? Or are new players eligible to contribute? The more I think about it, the more my head hurts @Fox!

My guess
it is linked to the team not players . and if new players join the team they will benefit from it ..

Even on taringa they mentioned "THE 500 BEST TEAMS IN PRINCE CHARMLESS TEAM RACE, WILL RECEIVE 1 SCROLL "OLYMPUS" IN THEIR WAREHOUSE .DC has similar system when certain achievement is kept in team vault not players and any one kicked lose it while new ones can benefit from it

@Haka-Taka wow! I can see this causing all sorts of dramas. Players that get removed from teams will be furious, in particular if they contributed lots. I can also see this as great temptation for teams to exploit this to recruit players. Ah well, I'll warm the popcorn up and watch the shitstorm unfold

Same here .. Instead of luring players by we are first or we have dead pool it will be we have a scroll come join us .. and this race will be more ferrous .

Most heavy spender will just make sure to get 50 lap and top 500 and save the gem for this race .. i would say they will break 200 lap record

@Haka-Taka we just hit 25 laps and are around 430th so it looks like we might be in it as well. Can't say that I'm not curious, but I can see us trailing behind the pack when the time comes as we are not a heavy spending team!

WE just hit 10 and this is it for US .

Hi @David-ML,

The Olympus Race will be active for the whole team so if players leave or join your team it won't matter.

The final rewards are not confirmed and can still change but I heard something about Undertaker, Flamerion, Captain Copperbeard, Tijen, Igursus.... What you would like to see?

@Fox flamerion hands down

@ Fox. I would imagine Undertaker to be a disappointment seeing as he was a previous race reward. Seeing as this is a race for the top 500 teams I would think something very special would be in order. What are your thoughts on a Nemesis monster? Also, a truck load of orbs would be nice.

I can speak for my team and tell you that a lot of gems have already been spent on this race with more to come for the Olympus Race. Give us all something to get excited about!

@Fox I'd like to see Flamerion instead of The Undertaker . . . Really not too excited about the thought of The Undertaker as a reward. I guess the monster would be a ranked one am I right? It'd be a lot more exciting having another rewards as well like heroic orbs or maybe another ranked monster along with the main reward, just like previous races. Please make those rewards worth for us

I hear you @ladyjade, Which other monsters would you like to see?

@Fox Flamerion please

@Fox Flamerion

Hallo,
I speek with my team Arrancars
I putted they down when I said the next race reward will be the undertaker , so many members got it at level 115
We worked hard in this race
We had a great illusion for have a really special rewards in the Oliymlimpjs race ,
so our expect was to have an exclusive monster hard to find out
We like flamerion , and we have a lot of imigbo's fans we'll love to have that monster

We are ranked 9th, and if undertaker is going to be in the next part of this race my team will not participate, there needs to be something which has not been a race monster in previous races and worth our time and money

And on another note. All of us in the top 500 have worked hard to get here. Most of us have a rank 3 or better undertaker, which ever is chosen should be something which is worthwhile not something which has been in a race before, anything people are willing to work hard to he a part of should be rewarded with something more special

@Fox Flamerion seems to be the best option, though at the same time I'd like to suggest The Inheritor. He's the best fire monster imo. Many will disagree but oh well.
And, hmm... I was going to say Talany, but she's too new I guess. I really do love her design and the unconfirmed data about the skills we got so far. She's gonna be a premiere perhaps? If so... I BEG YOU, let it be just like the Tijen event. That was glorious.

@Fox Flamerion or Tijen, pls!

All my Team it's agree with flamerion.
We hope be flamerion

@DeathScorpion said in Road to Olympus Race - how does it work?:

@ Fox. I would imagine Undertaker to be a disappointment seeing as he was a previous race reward. Seeing as this is a race for the top 500 teams I would think something very special would be in order. What are your thoughts on a Nemesis monster? Also, a truck load of orbs would be nice.

I agree here. We spent a lot of gems on this race and the previous one, getting 50 laps in both, and a lot of players voiced that spending has now reached a limit and they don't welcome a new race, giving us 3 races in what, 6 weeks? At least for me Undertaker is not a strong enough incentive to load up on gems and start spending again.
Flamerion or Inheritor OTOH would be a more worthy prize.

@Fox I join in the chorus - Flamerion of those you have listed please!!!

Edit: I don't mind if it is a different monster as long as it is one of the many interesting ones that are around this days and above all, that it isn't a previous race monster!

@Fox maybe other great choices for such a race could be Jasastur, Baron Traitor, Kihaku, Tankerion . . . I mean, would be great another element besides Nature (already 2 monsters in a row). Thanks for taking it into account

I wonder if all the teams are going to receive any reward . being top 500 is an achievement on its own. I just hope not only top 3 will receive rewards because being in top 3 you need to spend hundreds of bucks on gems

@Fox I would love to see Flamerion on Olympus Race!.
Undertaker was in a Race, Most teams already have him at 115.

Lets hope for once Taringa is not right. Will be kinda lame of a prize for the hard work the top 500 teams put into this race.

Undertaker? if socialpoint want less money, go for it. Flamerion. Thats better, we might decide to race and get him.

Make it special. Road to olympus done and here we are at the olympus. Bring Zeus or something

Any the mods know when this race is going to start

@callumarachnoid in the pop up of Race it was told at the end of this month.
And the Current Steampunk Beasts Island is for 11 Days ending on 30th(Monday) this Month.
I guess its on 30th, as Race Usually Starts on Monday or Thursday

Captain copper beard is my choice but only cos I want him ranked and I kept missing the chance recently to buy eggs.

@Fox in the description of the Olympus Race it says you have to be on one of the qualified teams when the race event starts.... does this mean that those teams that are participating in the Olympus Race will be locked in once the event starts???

No they won't, basically we will activate the event for the team ID whoever is inside it doesn't matter. I will specify it in the text. Thanks!
