Results for Aug20 4 hour competition!
Too bad i don't know anyone so i have 0 chance of receiving some beta keys.
By the way, for the next time, maybe was better to gave the keys to someone that aren't already playing.. | |
" I normally don't quote walls of text like this but I just want to say that was an excellent write-up and I want others to see it. The strategy you both worked with was elegant and sound. Thanks for posting that. :) YOUはSHOCK! Selvarajah - Lv30 2H Marauder Last edited by JasonRyanAU on Aug 20, 2011, 9:23:39 AM

" Yeah, I went to the conclusion power charge wouldn't be good in a 4 hours race because you won't have enough crit to make it efficient. I myself rushed the 7+4+4+4 movement speed at start and it was pretty good. Ok so I'll try to explain how I did one of my biggest failure in video games haha. First, it was obviously better to play a duo nova thing, but I would try solo, I did practice for solo, and I would see how I'd do. Seeing as how Hartlin came 5th finally, it couldn't be so bad I think, but I'll never now how it would have gone to the end. Basically, I fell asleep around 6:30 am, I was playing bad because I was tired and anyway I had so many crashes / desync that I died like 10 times in those 2h20, resulting in me being 20 min late from my practice (and since I did some things better, I should have been better than my practice, but no luck + mass crashes isn't so great.) When I stoped, I was level 19 and around 11th or 12th ladder wise. It wasn't so good, really. With my practice performance I would have been right behind Slicer and Draege for the 20th level (around 1h50 played), but I don't know what a Solo templar can do against those who abuse the dual nova thing with the new 75% bonus xo). I know noone cares, but well : I played a cold templar with Freezing Pulse, put all the first point in movement speed 7+4+4+4, then went to cold damage (the big one). As they said, I didn't return to town before brutus (or I shouldnt). The good thing with playing templar is shield charge, so I just rushed the whole rocky climb / prison thing (and I ended up diing 3 times in prison level 2 because of desync (ok I'm safe. Oh no I'm stuck in a wall. I'm safe again. Ok I'm stuck in the same wall. I'm dead. Of course if you're playing duo, you won't die and lose 2-3 min each time)). After Brutus, I just ran and Freezin pulsed everything, and killed Merveil at lvl 10 solo (it was actually real quick, you just open up a portal so you can suicide run her when you're out of potion, took me only 1 death abusing the AI of the second form) Act 2 : I killed almost nothing and run to the 2 bosses. Experience in act2 is far superior at experience in act1, so even when you kill almost nothing (and you'll die on archer sometimes, thats normal) you still manage to be around 13 when you finish both quests. Then I shield chargeed / phase ran through all of cath of bones, pool and streams, and started grinding thicket. At this point, due to all the crashes and lag deaths I had, I was like 3 level below the 10th. After 30 min of thicket, I was only 4000 experience behing the 10th. Now you have to understand that anyway Cruel is hard for a single player and I guess dual nova will own monsters easily, but I still think I would have a chance at top10 farming ledge / thicket in cruel. But anyway I was like dead tired, I almost fell asleep on my keyboard, so I messaged Draege to congratulate him and I went into my bed with a sad face haha. So, I didnt even try to finish the race, I'm bad. GG =) Last edited by Utukku on Aug 20, 2011, 10:44:51 AM

I can't believe there's actually people complaining about the beta key prizes. It's not like the people who win the beta keys are going to hoard them. They're still going out to people who don't have access to the game. >_>

Wish i could win one for my friend. Had so much lag and walk back that it was unplayable for me.
Also i made the mistake to roll a marauder instead of a witch. Was not my night! Good job to winners. "You Cant Tame The Beast" Last edited by Bee on Aug 20, 2011, 11:31:48 AM

The thing with power charge on crit/kill shocked (and monsters get shocked on crits) is that power charge, itself, increases crit.
So it's the first power charge that takes a bit of luck to happen, and then the next four are much easier. Of course, with all the sheer spamming of Shock Nova I was doing, it was inevitable that I'd get more than a few crits. And I had the "share power charges" thing. I think a party based around that could dominate an eight-hour ladder. NotSorry: Bot d3 for cash, play POE all day
