First 4/5 days 10+ hours if I wasn’t working.
Followed by a week or two of pretty high farming 2-8hours.
Followed by 0-6 hours for another 2months. Some weekends I’d play 6 hours a day some weekdays I wouldn’t play at all.
Followed by very little playing after I had 2/3 chars finished. perhaps the last month or month and a half I would play a lot less, 3 hours every few days.
But nothing was kept up with on some sort of timer.
Ladder S2 - approx 29 runes
Ladder S3 - approx 24 runes
Yes, yes, everything is fine. Go to sleep.
I hope you never play games with actual rankings.
The ranking in D2R is worthless and even on top of that hasn’t been won by cheaters.
Because item sellers still have to find them. They dont have unlimited amount you would have in blizz shop.
It’s not hard to figure out where streamers get their early items. It’s funneled from their audience. That’s what Twitch is to gaming now, everyone thinking that they play a game as a collective represented by a single streamer. If you’re going to blame anyone for it, blame the streamers who accept these handouts despite participating in what’s meant to be a competitive ladder.
dramatic music
“unless they do!”
removes tinfoil from burrito and takes a large bite
(still chewing) “are you aware that combining duped runes in the horadric cube assigns a new item identifier to the resulting rune such that it will not clash?”
carefully folds tinfoil into a pointy hat shape
“are you also aware that white so called ‘base’ items are not assigned a unique identifier unless a completed runeword has been ‘rolled’ into them?”
shuffles over to you, slightly limping, lets out a gentle wheezing
“you realize what this means, my boy?”
grasps you by the shoulder and gives you a long, disappointed look
“Yeah, I didn’t think so”
places the tinfoil hat squarely on your head
“where you’re going, you’ll be needing a little bit more protection, and a bit of a better odor… this is the best I can do for you”
walks away into the sunset
Can you substantiate the claim that any rune duping method still exists on bnet? Duping and upping runes was an exploit from 15 years ago, it’s since been fixed. Even the ghost dupes recently discovered in D2r required items with many affixes, because it eats up more memory, and that was key to the exploit. Individual runes don’t eat up much memory.
You’ve never been competitive at D2 or anything in your life. Even without the handouts you’d still get dominated by a streamer. Even if they shut their channel off Teo or Llama or some other mtn dew chugging nerd was always going to beat you. Quit pretending like you were ever in the running.
Why are you talking about duped stuff? There is no current dupe that is viable on bnet.
Also the base item has an ID before it gets a rune word in it btw. It gets a different ID once one is made in it though.
Can you read? Who are you talking to? I’m not even playing season 3 ladder.
I am actually fine with blizzard setting up their own shop. D2jsp may just die if that happened and they gain $$
Worried about a “competitive ladder” when you don’t compete. Crazy.
It’s called making a statement relevant to the discussion. The ladder is inherently competitive, and pointing out how it’s been undermined isn’t reserved only for people climbing it. Why are you so dumb all the time?
I can already see you responding. Just stop, you’re so tiresome. You jump into threads and drag down the quality of the general discourse because you’re too intellectually stunted to understand the conversations.
The “cheaters” aren’t winning ladder. Real players and team are. With or without anyone using D2JSP, those same players were going to beat EVERYONE to the top spot because they were willing to grind. Your trash reasons for thinking you or anyone else stood a chance do not matter. They were going to always win. If you’re not first on this ladder, you’re last. Period. Why are you do dumb all the time?
You’re the only one here who makes a tiresome posts worrying about what everyone else does in a game that you’re not even playing and on top of it were never on their level to begin with. I get that you always wanted the illusion like you could be first to 99, but be honest with yourself you never came close. Not even in the top 1000 once in 20 years. Quit pretending like you know the game.
Again, you’re talking to no one. Nobody has said those things. You’re responding to people and going off on tangents irrelevant to anything being discussed. You’re a combination of painfully stupid and eager to flex in a 20 year old game. The end result is incredibly revealing projection. Stay at the kid’s table while the adults talk.
You couldn’t decipher I was talking to you? You’ve said those things. There is only one thing that should be discussed in this thread based off the title. Blizzard selling HRs in game. Is that the subject we’re on want to get back to that highly intelligent concept you couldn’t seem to follow in your posts here? Let’s talk about it when I join you at the kids table.
Do you understand how threads work? This thread has a topic, within it, I’ve made very specific statements to that topic. Jumping in and trying to respond to something that I said in a different thread, about a different topic, is pure idiocy. You’re responding to some conversation that I’m not having, to things that I haven’t said. So have at it, kiddo, enjoy this conversation that you’re having with yourself.
Can you please tell me where you were on topic?
All of it. You’d know if you had read the thread. You even threw in my response to someone claiming that rune duping was taking place. You really are an idiot.
Please find where you were discussing the topic of selling HRs in game from blizzard?
