1 week of solitary and no trading ? I doubt that's a good idea

People, please, the main issue here is that hilbert can do harder maps than you.

Any chance to implement something so only people doing hard maps getting higher level maps?

Nerf lucky players, give their maps to hilbert.

Either that of buff ele penatly on merciless to -100 so coward players don't even attempt vaal. :p

Really what's the point in Endgame maps if the difficulty between the levels is minimal unless you do hard mods.


Already simulated 2 variations of my build, will suck 6 levels more now but even a -100 penalty is no problem then.

I look forward to this, unfortunately... I don't think I can make time this coming week.

Should be interesting... vaal will be scary. This probably won't help decrease my death count in the race LOL

Wow very eventful thread so far.

While I see a lot of good suggestions and FUNNY comments(I.E. Metronomy "Cheeky people forced me to get 2000 hp" Lol "I could of done it with less" Yeah if you consider you hugged my ASS 98% of the time =P )I think people should focus more on the class they play and not on their assumptions of other classes. Really the Marauder crying needs to stop. If you think its an auto win then by all means make one and win.

On another note I seen Coldet's post about Panda's and my build. I must say that it has nothing to do with being secrets its just usually the question is asked during racing and afterward its the last thing on our mind =P. My build changed from the 1st one week a lot to be less ballsy as my 1st attempt was organic being that I had never played past level 48 on any character so had 0 exp on Merc / Maps. I learned a lot from the first race and changed what I thought needed to be worked on. I will post the build to anyone who wants it via PM or maybe on a more appropriate thread.

Lastly I find it IRONIC as hell that someone would call others cowards / comment on how they do HARDER maps when they choose to stand behind a bunch of zombies / skelly totems the whole race. Then challenge someone 16 levels lower then them to a duel and back out when the person accepts lol. If you are one of those type of people do us all a favor and just please stop posting as I am sure people are sick of you at this point.

As always good luck everyone and hope to see some familiar names.

I am really working on my shadow play and feel if I gain the comfort level I have with Mara/Ranger that I'll run a shadow in this race to see if I can top 10. I am aiming mainly for claw build w/ bow secondary as needed. Hopefully with the little time we have to prepare I can get into a good comfort zone and run shadow.

200 Lightning res to enter Chamber of Sins, 150 Fire AND Lightning res to fight Merciless Oversoul, 200 res ALL to attempt any Elemental Weakness maps.

AND

You just patched out Auras on weapon swap.

GG GGG.

I want my games to take skill as most here do but these recent implementations are FAKE difficulty spikes that don't actually force me to play more skillfully, they force me to grind lower areas for MUCH longer periods of time. Who the hell wants time sinks in their ARPG? Seriously.

GL in the future, I am still happy I donated and did enjoy my stay here but you're following a trend in mmo/arpgs lately that is extremely NOT FUN and I will go back to the hunt for FUN.

Fires up Steam...

You have to keep in mind that this is 'testing'.
It's beta, things will be changed to see how they affect gameplay.
Don't throw your toys cause you dislike a change, it might be temporary, it may get adjusted.
If anything, do what a beta tester should do, play it and see how it goes.
The res penalty is DEFINITELY needed, most my lvl40+ chars have 75 all resist without even thinking to stack resist.
It is ridiculously easy to get 100+ even 150+ on certain resists.

Furthermore, not every fight requires full resist.
The only real time you need that kind of resist is for Pyramid and hardcore maps.

It seems like people forget this anytime a change is made.
