... Snail Time ...

97.73%...this is getting tedious...I don't know how some of you folks made it to 100. I think I'm going to quit at 98 for a while. =)

Had a few close calls tonight...ate a Volatile Iceblood on a neg resist map, but it didn't hurt too badly...first one that's hit me in quite a while. Then a Tormented Spirit possessed the boss on the same map for extra fun...next time Regesus pulls that crap I need to just try a new map...getting too close to my next level to risk an RIP.

97.77%...I'm seeing 98 on the horizon...:)

Won't be playing much this weekend...but I'll get there eventually!

97.80%...snuck in a little time this weekend. Might play a little more this evening...but stopping at a good round number feels good for now.

My Rank: 2150
Act's Rank: 1379 (grrr!)

Act, I am not only going to catch up to you, but leave you in the dust. You have been warned! :)

Ahahaha good joke :D ... Have you seen how many hours I play every day and how many hours I play the weekends?
My progress is slower than yours because my style of play, but the "brute force" of time is stronger XD

...

Although maybe you have a chance. I'm thinking seriously about changing build when I reach 99. I am more than satisfied with my current build but occasional lack of sellers of Gorges is worrying. Given these lapses without Gorges is just a couple of days to consume all accumulated maps and also with an increased risk of death. I need many many maaaaaaaany Gorges or a Tank...




Lvl 98 and 70%

97.85%...going to shoot for 90% later tonight...should be there in a few more days. Changed a few things to my build (how I generate power charges) but my DPS is much higher, and reflect seems to be less of an issue then before (not sure how that happened). I've just been sticking with Canyon, Gorge, Plateau, Springs and an occasional red map, but now I'm going to focus on yellow maps exclusively until I hit 98.

Congrats on almost getting to 99, Act! I remember your old thread (the one that inspired me to get past Lv 94) that you stopped posting on for a long time...think of how far you have come since then. I have no doubt that you will hit 100 and join Sarang and the other fellow who both have joined the special elite club of triple digit players.

Now, all you guys need is a car with vertical opening doors and you'll be set. :D

At times like this it is when I wonder, where are the improvements?... Sure, now there is almost no problems opening boxes and the FPS now seem higher and more stable... But (allways we have "but" when it comes to GGG), then, why I have died?

I lost all the progress of this weekend because I accepted a Zana daily in a Channel lvl 75. Stupidly easy map whose only difficulty was the appearance of some Beyond monsters... I go to the map and wait about 5 seconds to let this load properly. I'm used to this routine as a precaution when is a new map because I know this is not yet optimized... So the seconds pass and then I walk a few meters and launched an attack without seeing monsters. I always do the same because I kill without seeing (Kinetic Blast). My screen is completely frozen. I use all the potions and 2 seconds after I press alt + F4 repeatedly which at first does not work... I reach for tenths of a second to see the screen of death and the game is disconnected... What's happend? I shot, monsters die, the game tries to bring up some Beyonder and freezes, game over...

Why GGG, why? Why this game is still shit in some technical aspects after 4 years?






Lvl 98 and 65%...

Sorry about RIP, act. Yeah GGG needs a lot of work to fix things. I tried the new graphics optimizer but it kept freezing my screen so I shut it off. I have a high end graphics cards too...it sucks.

97.87%...signing off...

97.93%...almost there. Wanted to push for 98 tonight but was getting tired and stopped before my game started to falter. First few maps kept giving me tons of Devourers...I can kill them easily...but still makes me damn nervous this close to such a high level...

Was running Plats and Arid Lakes then decided to run some Canyons. My first three went like this:

Canyon 1: Gemcutter's Box - which dropped some nice leveled gems after re-rolling.
Canyon 2: Carto Box - A rare one, which I re-rolled with 6 chaos for +3 to Chest Level and it dropped mainly T9-T11 maps (Gorge, Plat, plus other good ones)
Canyon 3: Exalted Orb dropped!

I do believe Rngesus was hanging out in Canyon maps tonight. My first Carto in weeks it seems - I got 8 really good maps which helped replenish my shrinking supply.

One or two more days and I will be at 98...then it will be time to rest, relax and do some Atziri runs. I do not plan to go for 99 anytime soon...I'll leave that to Act and Turnip. :)

Why is Turniphead himself not replying to this thread?

Turnip gave up... he stopped visiting the forum and almost does not play... and his 100 ex that could have helped change build for something more resistant now lie forgotten... what a waste. He was so worried about losing the 100 ex that ultimately equally lost them without touching them. Paradoxes of PoE.
