RussiaHi. Some of the co-ops I approved contain incomplete videos. Usually one of the participants lacks the last 5-10 seconds to kill a baal. Since there are other records that clearly show the time of baal kill, I think its ok to verify runs like this. In this post, I just point out the existing discrepancy with the rules and practice of verification. If your views diffrent from mine, you can write your opinion here. If solo speedrun got lacks of video then it will still be rejected.
For me co-op is real time only, as the most competitve. My subjective opinion an average no loading time does not carry informational content.
Its pretty the same situation, when IGT was added. It was better not to change anything. IGT just make new problems, if we will change TCP/IP it will happend again, only new problems. I dont see this happy people, who banned -ns into the jail, but I could see sorc p1 is slow dies. After this change same could happend with other classes. People who grind 100-200-500 hours will not happy looking how they runs will be beaten by casino strats.
Pause IGT during TCP/IP make act 3 to casino roll, you just need to find WP at spiders, and roll until it will be an exit to flayer. Same tricks work at act 5 with wp Frozen Tundra WP, if you take it at 1st line, reroll and get at last line you will save about 30 seconds. For normal non sorc run advance will be huge. Rules shouldnt be creat for only sorc, if you make sorc rolling "more enjoyble (not sure how, you still have to w8 rerolls in real time, but your imagination timer will looks better ?)" you still should remember about other classes.
1-02-45 RTA->1-02-00 IGT 1-02-39 RTA -> 56-35 IGT thats funny
I agree with the thesis about reducing variations with IGT. Double jail setup is faster with RTA, but slower with IGT. At the same time, I don't see a way to change anything. Canceling IGT will only lead to more negativity and misunderstanding.
Fire Enchanted give 75 fire res, "A Magic Resistant monster will be given 40 more resistance to Fire, Lightning, and Cold damage only if it is below 100%" by this source https://diablo-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_Resistant_(Diablo_II).
Looks like game give only 95% fire res with magic resistant, but Im not sure, just maybe.
I would like to, do you have any links, to see his runs ?
"Yes, you three were fine with it, but a lot of us would rather quit than play -ns".
So now p1 sorc is dead category, you won, lot of us quit.
"First of all, using -ns was a modification of the game, giving you a clear advantage over someone that doesnt modify his game like that".
And now everyone got "clear advantage" over RTA times, for no reason.
Oh, my favorite topic has become relevant again.
Well, let's remember again.
After Slimo got WR with -ns, the community was faced with the question of what to do next. At that time, the top 4 sorc p1 consisted of Slimo, Indrek, Teo and me (BokserKabaty was in 5th place, but he was not so active, I may not be correct in this case). Me, Slimo and Indrek believed that -ns should remain and for a fair definition of WR the rules cannot be changed. Teo was against -ns, but he was deciding how to vote.
Teo decided that those who have at least 1 run on the site should vote, that is, people who do not possess sufficient qualifications in advance, and who do not even have a close idea of what a run on WR is. I can't say for sure why Teo decided to ask the guys with 3 hours druid normal runs how Indrek and I should continue to compete, but I can only assume that Teo really wanted to win the argument.
My judgments are confirmed by the fact that in personal conversation Teo lied to me about the form of voting, saying that I could vote for the next day and did not consider it important to inform me that in order to vote I must be present on the discord. Of course, before the start of the vote, none of the modders told me about this lie. On the other side guys with 3 hours druid normal runs were notified and the voting was successful. I can only congratulate Teo, he won this dispute against 3 top runners on sorc out of 4.
Well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, I took a 2-month pause, then measured the new rules, spent 200 hours and took WR. Note that if I spent these 200 hours on runs with-ns I would beat Slimo's time. But I ran with the sound on, because the community decided so. And now you are proposing to cancel everything, because suddenly Teo's vote made everything worse.
What is my opinion? As I understood for a long time, everyone here doesn't care about my opinion, I just, as always, want you to look at yourself from the outside.
What? "such an agressive tone on every post you are doing" https://www.speedrun.com/327/allposts That was my 3rd post for last 10 months, and I dont thnik all of them was such agression. I don't see much point in discussing my personality. Why then do I talk about you getting personal? Because you are the "Dictator" who did both a lot of good for the speedrun d2, and a lot of controversial. And Px "historical reasons", was one of controversial. Why was my last post so aggressive? It is clear that I am wrong, and it was possible to formulate my thoughts in a more correct form, but again there is a substitution of facts, mixed with smiles. For 6 years, when Diablo 2 speedruns were the most popular, Px was banned, when the hype passed, Px was added. Оbviously there will be more runners with 3+ hour normal runs by p1 (2 for Px and 48 for p1). You are great, you won, indeed the slower category is more popular than the faster one. But don't need to mock.
And I do not think that this Layout can be somehow improved, made more popular, its dead by "historical reasons".
Omfg, historical reasons. Maybe the main historical reason is cuz YOU ban this category by 6 of this 8 years. It is appropriate to compare the number of runs in the category of which is 2 years old and in which category is 8 years old, according to the number of runs in the last 2 years, and not for the entire time.
Hello, looks cool. What about players settings ? Is it only p1 or pX is allow ?
I recommend the guide from BokserKabaty which describes Act 3 very well
