Haha, Changed the Title.



I just finished making a demonstration video of the method reboticon enlightened us with:

[YouTube] Secret Method to Farming Corrupted Zones

Probably wasn't a necessary video, but it shows that the load times do in fact indicate to a very high degree if there's going to be a corrupted area within an instance. Hope you guys enjoy.

Very nice video! I also am a musician (or was before I lost an index finger but that's a whole different story) and I was counting beats in my head when I figured this out. I'm a bit in the doghouse now for sharing this instead of trying to corner the market, hehe. I'd rather more people can find them so I can buy them cheaper because I hate trying to sell the drops to fuel my addiction.

BTW - supposedly the auto bot detection code is going to be changed to account for people doing this.

awesome vid, dude, but if your metronome is 90 beats/min 5 clicks /= 5 secs

edit: and for ppl using this remember to throw out the first instance, as that normally takes longer to load

Thanks, and yep, the exact tempo doesn't really matter, as long as it's there to keep time :)

Thanks! I find it amazing that you actually found a pattern/correlation with the load screen + corrupted zones. I honestly would've never guessed.

But yeah, I just hope GGG doesn't nerf the Midnight drop rates again due to this "method". The price for Midnights should come down a bit so that more people can attempt Atziri.

I am 100% success rate. My computer is a beast.

Loading town and loading non corrupt docks = same exact time. So its easy to time.

Anything else = corrupt. I'm now 25\25.

Edit. 53\54.

I see corrupted zones are still a huge pain, 1/10 would quit again. I hope people have some luck doing this.

I run PoE from RAMDISK so there is practically no loading time to speak of, I will try to move it back to SSD because this is totally worth it.

None sadly.

Like 76\80 now. I think sometimes I zone out a bit and think its long when its not.

Also massive shrine might be why theres a noticable difference in load.
