I'm a little curious..

What would have happened if I had let the zombie that was hacking at me after the end pause kill me before logging out? Would I still have been considered alive?

I would be willing to bet yes. Once it pauses, the server would "freeze" all assets. Meaning anything you dropped after that should still be on your character after it's move also.

Congrats :P

Crossposted from the beta forums:

Me and two of my friends were playing together, Witch, Templar and Ranger. The Witch died when there was about one hour left of the race but the Templar and Ranger kept going. We managed to finish at #7 and #8 in the overall ladder, getting the #2 Templar and #1 Ranger class spots.

Our strategy was focused around gathering large groups of enemies and killing them with Shock Nova. The Ranger would use Split Shot and Poison Arrow to help. Corpse Explosion was picked up later by the Ranger and that helped a lot. I picked up Ice Nova on my Templar in Act 2 and it was also incredibly helpful.

We skipped through a lot of areas that have little AoE potential (Tidal Passage, Prison, Chamber of Bones) in favour of resetting and re-playing areas with good AoE potential to catch up in EXP. Especially The Ledge on both difficulties, but also Crossroads, Dark Forest and a few other areas. We skipped all the optional areas.

Our Witch died to Oozeback in Cruel because he didn't realize he was getting attacked. He was more or less stunlocked and one-shot.

We farmed The Ledge in Cruel for about 40 minutes at the end, managing to keep more or less the same ranking as we had had.

Improvements we could've done:
Farmed a bit longer in The Ledge in normal, farmed in Fellshire Ruins in normal, not lost our Witch in Cruel, progressed past The Ledge in Cruel a bit earlier in favour of farming in Prisoner's Gate and the Coves.

Thank you Derpfoot and Torse, it was fun!
