This is an incentive to do it. It will be very hard to do. If we don't have the classes that's fine. It will get people to plan stuff together and get the classes necessary :D . I'd absolutely love to hear or see people trying it. It's a real challenge now.

:rofl: even if I had my old good gear, I wouldn't bother with such a low Prize Pool.


Yeah way too low pot for the effort on hc...

Not overly interested in paying UA or EE to do a Mirror Maze. Appreciate the community initiative but the rich getting richer isn't the way to do it


Pretty much a given one of those two will complete

+1, I love community contests and would gladly donate towards fun ones but this one just isn't fair.

Good luck to everyone who attempts this of course

I don't think that aspect is 100% true. It is only theory at the moment... I will not ever be able to test it out, but one thing about coding, human error.

Example:
Code it so that when the group enters the catacomb from the start, they would be wearing their best gear (Mirror this)... when the group enters the LAST space, use the mirrored gear from the start of the catacomb (do not deviate even if they enable MM objective with different items).

Based on example, there is a way around this also.

Example:
Code: Mirror the items consistently used throughout the exploration and do not deviate.

EDIT: as stated... since I do not know what the coding requirements or rules are, I can not say that they have encoded it to counter all factors. Theory.

Even reading that, Paul has made many human errors.. best example is that X% Damage Return would actually give better Drop Quality etc. The example given also ensured that a person was banned from LS for exploiting it, even though that person made it public after 4 months (maybe more) indulging in the benefits.

In theory you can abuse it aswell. The connections are more of a concern

I'm glad to see PowerTripped finally read through the patch notes that Paul gave to us months ago and figured out the hardest aspect of the newly rewritten mirror maze.
Everyone already knew this :rofl: :rofl: .


Yes, the final battle acts as it was intended to do finally but there are many bigger problems than the final battle.


1- Connection issues
2- Harder monsters than before
3- Fish can't be spammed anymore
4- Comfreys can't be spammed anymore. Comfreys used to have 0 cooldown.
5- Multi heal abilities are bugged so sometimes you heal only 1 person instead of all 5.
6- Monster's abilities now do more damage
7- Single target abilties are a must have now which slows down mirror mazes. Before the meta was 3x aoe abilities for best/fastest mirror mazes.
8- Quests are harder to find.

There are more factors that I can't think up right now which make a true challenge. Anyone who completes it no matter how good their gear is deserves the pot no doubt.

So yeah, there's a lot more than just the final battle which makes mirror mazes complicated.

Oh Daniel šŸ˜˜. Apparently not everyone knew it if it was being questioned as true or not. Iā€™m very happy that youā€™ve learned about MM now though. Before I helped figure out how to do it you and laby was still back of the bus begging to be told how refusing to even try and figure it out yourselves. Now the expert; you're welcome community.

Back on point. The same mindset is back ā€œit canā€™t be doneā€ just need a group to step up and do it and lead this new community.
