lol - it's been pretty fucking obvious since he hit hell. Botting 24/7 I only ever find 2-3 HRs a week running the same stuff and clearing areas a lot faster. Pretty funny how he's found all these HRs yet no Cham/Zod/Sur....

Cant wait to find the next mess up ^^

Please post your walkthrough link

I've been warned for "Porn" ( ? what the hell? ) and ended up being suspended for 1 day 18 hours, and when that suspension was up I tried accessing again only to find that the timer had reset again to 1 day 18 hours. This is the first that I am able to respond.


On the durability issue:
First they are indeed down to 9 durability now. There are two main reasons it has been slow.





First, attackers are usually decrepified. Then, with a 20% chance uninterrupted attack, 33% chance or less to be hit normally, and 75% chance to block those attacks that would hit, I simply don't get hit a lot. Let alone hit in the boots.

The second reason the durability is lasting is because I am looking for a white elite pally shield, which means I've done many of the chaos runs without MF gear anyway.

I've notice durability go down faster since I've been running meph, and also since I've started with the defiance merc as opposed to the holy freeze merc. I've been eager to use them up in fact because I've got plenty of other boots that offer better FRW + resists with almost as much MF as these 30 WTs.

Check the screenshots in my latest album for more boot durability picks (oooo exciting!) interspersed with run drops : http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/torch/20120222/

don't worry about these haters. your run has been very very interesting so far. i must say though, i have FAR better luck with unique/set drops compared to you, but you beat me in the rune category. not surprising though, since my sorc runs mostly meph up till now.

Nice Srvice faster to 94 how much time you make this levels

Wait, you find 2-3 HRs a week cheating (I assume on realms, because what's the point botting in SP)? I've found 6 in two months. I play a few hours every day, and for 2-3 days a week sometimes upwards of 8-12 or more hours per day. (Contrary to the comments in the boot durability discussion, this is NOT 24/7) Most of my HRs came in one of those marathon 3 day sessions. Do you bot in single player on /p8? is 3 vs. 5 HR in a week really unbelievable, unaccountable to just luck? Vex is hardly even considered a HR in some circles, so we could even say I've found only 4 HR.

As for the timeliness of my hell drops I posted everything after the fact,and if you don't read my comments then you will miss some details. For instance:
* I ran the mausoleum for three days looking for elite 3os armor. Maybe 3 days wasn't enough time for you? Drops happen when they happen. I was lucky to find a Lem there too.
* I ran travincal almost exclusively (very cautiously because no BO yet!) from less then level 88 to almost level 92 and found a vex and wisp projector. This was hundred and hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds) of runs. I was very lucky to find the wisp. The Vex? with the number of runs I did, and the number of superunique & minions in travincal, I may have actually been unlucky by the time I found my first vex.
* I did not find an Ist to complete my CtA until AFTER defeating hell baal, when I ended up importing it from my barb.

Was NOT finding a shako FOREVER lucky? NOT finding a shako has been offed previously as some kind of "proof" of cheating, as if drops are not random, but rather somehow guaranteed. Consider the odds of council dropping a shako. They are almost as long as the vex. Meph probably gives the best shako odds, but I wasn't running him for the most part until very recently.



People here were accusing me of cheating from the time even before I got to hell and found some HRs. They disparage me in other threads and insult me here. I can take the accusations because I know that they are false. If you don't like extended stash / ladder rune words then don't read my thread. But to report me and get me suspended is crossing a line. Punishing people who have donated to the site is just bad business and I will very likely not be posting the rest of the walk here.

I have had more than my fair share of good luck at this game, both in SP and on realms. To help quiet the haters I've even starting posting videos:

I've had plenty of bad luck too. Here I am rolling a small charm: http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/torch/20120220/?action=view&current=roll_sc.mp4

My only mistake was to not video record the entire walkthrough.

I've tried to be very polite and ignore the insults and accusations. I prefer to let others point out how unfounded their arguments are.

At this point though I've had enough. I've enjoyed very much the discussions around gear and strategy. I've had fun reliving the finer points of walk while posting. But getting suspended made me realize just how juvenile this all is.

I only started playing on b.net and signed up for JSP so that I could use FG to buy HRs. I assumed that there was no shot at finding them when I started playing again after 10 years away from the game, and I wanted to try out the new runewords. Since I know this to be false, and since I no longer find any satisfaction from using non-self found gear anyway (and I don't PvP), I will now be giving away my FG in a contest.

50 FG to each video of you finding a HR. First one to 3 HR gets what's left of my FG.

This has not been a scheme to inflate my post count. I just really wanted to share a pretty lucky walk with people who understand. Since this has turned into a pretty overwhelmingly hostile place I'll just keep to myself.

Ignore the haters man keep your run going. There will always be some douche with bad luck hating. Dont let them discourage you.
I for one am interested in what torch/s you find.

Dude i've been tracking for over a month you better finish up the torch run first!

Why did you post porn in your wt in the first place?

Some people are lucky, but you have this uncanny luck which never seems to falter. It just screams cheating, even if you posted a video of you "not cheating" it would still be easy for you to hide it. I'm not saying you're cheating, you just have to realize how your luck just seems too common which in turn makes everyone think otherwise.

Don't get all butthurt because of what people say.
I'm sure there are more people interested in swing these 20+ pages of a WT end up with UT dead.

This shit has happened to me too. I had a friend ask a mod, and he said i read it wrong.
So i took a SS of it at 2 hours. Then it went back up to 1 day 0 hours. Did this for three days.
