Well it was better than just my days off. I use to have custody but state of Virginia has "traditional" court systems (which means they are for the mother not father). So the mother now has him for the summer week days and I have him weekends and we go back to court the day this contest begins.

So, now that the farmathon is over, and there will be a new one in a few weeks(?), we will have this contest in between. It helps those who do not have a character for farmathon ready yet.

*taking rules from last one, we can add to it/adapt.

Previous 1-95 contest found: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=78128793&f=161
Rules:
1. Current version of the game
2. No mods, plugy, etc. base game only
3. No Soceress
4. Hardcore
5. Race is over with valid SS of character sheet at 95.
6. No outside assistance of any kind, you and the game only.
7. Ladder Runewords enabled.
8. Players 8 Setting at all times

Some people were talking about no allowing hammerdins/paladins(?) last time. I think if you go melee paladin it should be allowed, but I'm not sure how people feel about the hammerdins.
Possibly giving everyone a break for a couple weeks before we start this from the farmathon that just ended and we could start this July 6th (friday), time to be determined due to the amount of players in different countries.

I'm also considering PM'ing a moderator to have the prefix made. I think it would be more fair for all. Unless you guys are fine with me coming up with the prefix.

I accidentally deleted the graphics of the previous one with the rules (rip) :( so I'll need to make a new one.

Post up if you'd like to be apart of this. I'll have an official thread later with a leaderboard as well as a nice graphic of the rules/players/characters. I think it would be cool to also have a prize pool for the top 3 players. Not sure about that though. I'm not sure how long it'll take for people to get to level 95, unless you grind like Lii. Let's just start with this :)

Use this format if you'd like to join.

Player: PikaBhew
Character: Necromancer
Build: Poison Nova

I don't quite understand

HC P8 WT is = P8 all times beside countess reruns and maybe LK

re-running anything else on lower players settings isnt a P8 walk anymore

Quote (TheBabyPixel @ 20 Jun 2018 07:13)

I personally am for /p8 during progression and reruns w/e else... This beeing a xp race, most people will go for the highest player setting they can achieve, but for reruns I'm not sure about that. I think you should be allowed to do reruns on whatever player setting you like, to make them the most efficient. I mean, if people start running meph at /p8 and it takes 10minutes per run or something like that, they will soon give up and progress, without the good gear, and then probably die... And dat suks. Just my opinion... If it would be /p8 at all time, I might switch to something better than PnB as well, because I want to at least try and compete in this contest...

With this logic we should allow these to make game EZ MODEEEE!!!

- Plugy
- Drop mod
- Hero editor
- Other stupid mods

/p8 all the way or you are just lazy/bad player who can't handle some extra seconds to farm X monster.

P8 walk is not a p8 walk if you change player settings. For example you play lk on /p5 and take hits from monsters it can totally save your life because you take less damage (there is no reason to run lk on any other than p7-8 anyway)

Only except to change p1 is tower cellar level 5 for the rune drops chance. But previous levels should always be played on p8 (you can change from p8 to p1 with 2buttons so you don't need write command anyway)

Not disagreeing with you, however, extra seconds? no.. many builds, apart from java/hdin/sorc take minutes without decent gear to farm bosses. extra seconds for trash mobs, yes.

Nice thread :) tempted to join in on this

This is perhaps a bit of a silly thing to point out, but I think it's a good idea to add into the rules something about no multiple instances of d2, perhaps just change the wording to "you and one copy of the game", because currently under the rules with i how i see them (due to how i play the game in single player), i can use just base diablo 2 on current patch and rush + level myself with my alts, without me considering it outside help or using any program except diablo 2

So people don't have time to farm that sucks for them
