Does anyone know whats the point they patched it unskippable? Was it just a sideeffect or did they fix it on purpose?

So we all know how they now made Act 3 "unskippable" by having to find the items on each difficulty. Well guess what, you still don't have to. I'm taking all the credit for this one so better quote me everywhere :)

Now in the old days we'd only have to kill travincal, and then you'd have a tp waiting at Mephisto and you were good to go. Now, you can't enter the tp if you don't actually do the quest first.

But there is a workaround. It's not as fast as it used to be, but it sure beats teleporting throughout Act 3 every time.

This workaround requires two different games.

1st game the person rushing creates the game and goes to Travincal with the quest obviously already completed. He opens a town portal in travincal and the person being rushed goes down the stairs. Now the person being rushed still can't go in a town portal in Durance of Hate. But he can walk to Durance level 2 and collect the waypoint (the rusher can obviously clear the way/find the next level/find waypoint fast.

Once you collect the waypoint the person being rushed creates new game and uses the waypoint directly to Durance level 2. After that he walks to durance level 3 behind the rusher and when Mephisto dies you can enter the Portal to Act 4.

I'm open to donations :bouncy:


Can someone explain?

a sorta similar tip, and this one has a little more hc relevance: when rushing people if ur getting the organs you can full clear trav council without your rushees having to be in trav when u kill them. they can still pick the flail and make/smash it to complete quest. you no longer have to port behind the house and hope no hydras kill the lvl 3 grushees


Thx
This is much more useful info than op

1) High lvl dude makes game
2) everyone walks down stairs at travs together
3) everyone walks to durance waypoint together
4) low lvl dude getting rushed makes new game
5) everyone walks from Durance 2 to meph together

they just changed the tp access rights for durance from "killing councils" to "smashing orb".
I'd say eventually people would find the "feature" op posted, but nothing really changed.
now you would either find more time to spend in a3 or find more reason to skip a3.

what's the point of a whole game full of places when people only play baal, diablo, and pvp outside of a1?

people still dont play act 3, they just wait for a TP to grab organs.
