Genuine question...

I'm playing hardcore ladder and we're like a month into the season. Some people on this forum are posting FT threads of their Annihilus's. And these guys have about a dozen to sell at a time. How are people able to farm annihilus when, according to my understanding, their production/availability is controlled by the worldwide sale of SOJs to NPCs. How are people getting their hands on so many?? Am I missing something obvious about the mechanics of the game?

On hardcore, dlone walks are done on the same day every week and people just go and farm multiple annis since they know when the walk will happen. When people are working together to make weekly walks happen, it's not hard to stack up annis.

And generally those people also have multiple accounts and since they know when the walk will happen, they get many annis.

Walks can happen on US, Europe, or Asia (most often) servers

And lots of sellers have multiple accounts

All very insightful responses - thanks a bunch!

How are they "working together to make weekly walks happen?" Are you saying that dclone spawn rules dont follow SOJ sales? Like, they're guaranteed to happen once a week regardless?

They're working together in the sense that they save up their sojs from all of their bot farming and everyone sells together, making sure the walk happens on that same day.

You gotta get into a dclone discord to see when they're doing it.

Afaik it's not weekly anymore and it's usually bi-tri weekly now. Last time the community walk happened was on the 21st.

Roneye
is the hardcore rotw ladder dclone guy. If you want in their discord to know when the walk will happen, you'll have to ask him. But afaik you need to either donate a soj or fg to get in, but it's probably worth it, since hardcore walks are rare and you'll likely miss it if you leave it up to chance.

Eye-opening, damn....

I thought bot farming died with D2R's release. People really using bots, maphacks, and mods still?

todays anni system is better, but its still bad since way too many get put into circulation. and before, hunting ips was terrible on top of having to deal with the mafia. :unsure:

now the dclone walks in every hell game on the US, EU or ASIA server. before the dclone would only spawn in games with a correct or matching ip address. so with the old system, before they would walk the dclone, they all had to have chars
in games with the corrrect ips. then they would sell the sojs. which would put significantly fewer annis into the wild per dclone walk.
