Your friend was trolling you bud. There is no special number to hit. There have been these types of claims since Diablo1 when I was but a boy…ok fine I was still old then, but dude…you’ve got this way wrong.
Let’s say you did find 9 SoJs in 150 runs…fine. I don’t believe you, but fine. You got really lucky. There is no bug in this game relating to Andy that changes drops that drastically. You got lucky. If you’re not lying. Which I doubt.
Honestly, this is such a game breaking bug, I’m sure you could contact the devs and I can almost guarantee you they would hook you up with some SIIIIICK gear. Mousepads, Gaming chair, probably even a new PC. I guarantee it.
I am not the only one who knows about it and not saying that by and stretch of the imagination . I personally found out about it sometime after .10 first rolled out. We being my friends and I used it on and off for years but when you do not bot or use MH it gets old and tiring like every thing else in the game .
I know at one point and time it was but nothing ever came of it. Still there and still works. As I said I will not post it and this would be a good test to see if they actually are reading the forums as claimed They have my email and info and can contact me at anytime and I will gladly go into detail of it and how it works .But until that time it is still there at last check.
I feel like we’re getting trolled but this is too funny and I’m in that tired state…
Come on man, that is just so disingenuous you don’t really think anyone would believe you, do you? You’re going to make one little comment on a forum and wait for the multibillion dollar gaming company to email you?
Make a bug report. Get sick gear. Ez.
That is not how Blizzard works and you klnow it.
If it existed believe me it would not be a secret. Especially with all the modders out there.
Blizzard has been great with me. I played decently-high rank SC2 from Beta on, and they were terrific during beta listening to feedback, etc.
I honestly think if you presented them with this bug and could replicate it you could easily score $10k in gaming gear. No question.
But the bug isn’t real and you got trolled by your friend, so no biggie.
This is the part that gets me. This group of words together makes me sure you don’t know how items are generated in Diablo2.
LOL, thats reminds me
back when i was in high school like 2003 i remember one of the girl in my tae-kwon-do class played d2 and one of the “stories” i was told was about some idk what ti was “item” or mod or something, that would give u a glowy orb in each hand and would allow you to vore someone’s char whole like a snake during pvp and eat monsters. i didn’t believe her but i thought that would be cool
aka the early days of the internet back where rumors like “pikablu” and “using strength on the SS anne truck to get mew” were in full swing was interesting
Those specific words are what was used for the 453 meme.
453 = 1337 lol…If you drop your items in the blood moor I can dupe them for you…
Progressing backwards it was 453 384 149 102 101 100 51 50 and before that in Diablo 1. I have heard all of them none of them has proved true. Only confirmation bias has been present.
150-190 or 192 was a deadspot due to in game code issues fixed in 1.08. I noticed it and had arguments about it at the time with other players. It was a rounding issue that caused it. Getting that much magic find then was not easy in Orig. Tarn helm, Milabrega’s shield, goldwrap, gull dagger, rare or magical boots, magical rings + amy, chances. You did almost no damage like this because you had almost no +skills and your resistances were normally crap. You could get more by doing 3os armor and 2 os bone shield and use p topazs as well. But, once again damage was horribad.
Now you are just making stuff up. As I said a target MF number is needed
It is not just pile up with MF and Kill her which is the reason
They might have triggered it on occasion but with out the key a bot would not be able to reproduce it on a regular bassis and it would just go down as a hit on the drop tables if all the factors came together to activate the “bug” .But having a bot be able to repeat it would take actually knowing what was needed and setting it to do certain things.
Either way I know it works and I know how to make it work. and Unless you know how to make it work it you would never notice anything out of the ordanary beyond a nice drop or if a Soj drops a great drop.
I quoted from Greezer’s post. He qouted from your post before you changed it. Very nice try there man.
Cool story. I am not the one trying to troll people. Google SOJ Drop Rate = Meme diablo ii There is forum posts on diabloii dot net about it from 2011.
There have been all kinds of rumors for dropping SOJ such as equipping nagel and manald and the next unique ring to drop will be SOj. They are all fake.
Only other way is cheats.
Yeah this post is nothing new, these memes have been in Diablo since the beginning. This exact type of meme is what made the creators of Diablo2 add the cow level. It started as a meme in D1. This is also a meme, but it is a funny one.
Andy bug lives on. I’m glad they’re not getting rid of the real Andy bug, that in fact does exist.
Show me where I edited any post of mine here… But nice try.
ladder and non-ladder servers did separate long time ago
anyway, just make the soj count global for all IPs and set it to ~ 1 000 maybe
i have gone over the issue with this a couple times in this thread already but.
this has so many issues.
first of which is… what is going to happen when everyone in every game see’s “sojs” sold to merchants pop up?
they want thier own anni? what are they going to do?
thier going to make thier own game
… you just told every person to make their own private game at the same instant.
idk how many games u played on launch day but i i shouldn’t have to tell you servers cant handle that kind of things.
doing that would basically DDOS the game creation severs
2nd… why would i spend my own soj if it donest matter who sells it?
yeah in 2007 it was cheap enough to buy 10 dupsed nl sojs and sell them to get 4 ladder anni’s ( one for each cd key)
a few years after that and no one spawns anni, becuase there are no duped sojs left and no one is stupid enough to sell a “real one” when they cant guarantee a walk.
i know soj is thematic, but you cant sell REAL Soj’s
it has to be easily repeatable (such as some sort of farming for keysets), it has to be local to your own game.
and the fight itself has to not change.
Anni was very very rare if you just play the game and hope you end up on a SOJ-selling server. I have played a lot a few ladders and almost never was on a SOJ-selling server. I only got 1 diablo clone spawn ever, and 1 Anni 
and torches and key were very rare if u didn’t know what monsters dropped them.
that’s where game knowledge comes in.just because the average person didnt know how to spawn dclone doesn’t mean it was “hard to do” ( back when there were tons of nl annis),
it donest mean it wasn’t easilly farmable and repeatable…
dclone was my favorite fight in the game i don’t want to it to be something i can “never do” when i choose i want to do it… THAT is a major difference to how it was d2 played.
and yeah i understand by having to farm mats it will be slightly different way of spawning, but whats most important to me is not thematic or even the anni, its the FIGHT
fight accessibility > anni accessibility >>>>>>>>>>thematic ( would be cool but barely makes any difference to me)
