The website LBs don’t let you query the individual sets. This should be very simple for Blizzard to do. Curious to see what the top clear is for s6 impale in s32. If anyone can check and advise, that’d be appreciated (GR level, clear time, paragon and gear details + any augments etc).
Cheers,
Dave
I think there is no such think available outside the game itself.
Maxroll has D3 leaderboards, better than the official pages. But you cannot see gear there.
Now when looking at the, we can see someone was crazy enough to do a 150 clear with shadow set. Impressive!
In 32? That is very surprising. we are what, like 3 weeks in? With no ethereal for the build, and the altar nerfed from when it was originally released, I find it very difficult to believe that a GR150 clear was achieved.
edit: wow. Looking at the US region, I’d be good for rank 6 (GR121, just over 8 mins, no augments and not all ancient even, let alone BIS rolls). All at just over p800. And with the handicaps that the console port has (NG works very differently on consoles, and we are handicapped vs the PC version of the game in this respect).
2nd edit: I’ll note that the #2 US player, has 5k paragon in 4 weeks…almost certainly botting.
That’s what is says, someone did it in US region. Next one only 141. I don’t play in US region so not going to check the build details.
Not sure if I will manage to write address here, but it can be found by googling maxroll d3 leaderboard
https://maxroll.gg/d3/leaderboards?filter[charClass]=demonhunter&filter[season]=32&filter[modes][0]=sc&filter[regions][0]=eu&filter[regions][1]=us&filter[regions][2]=tw&filter[set]=set2&filter[ssf]=false
yeah, see my reply to your earlier reply…both US #1 and 2 have over 5k paragon from 4 weeks of playing…100% botting.
For a little less than 5k paragon, better check playtime before accusing. 5k totally possible for human, when there are botters / account sharers with more than 7k already (at least 7,7k at 4p frontpage). Exp for 7k is about 3 times what is required for 5k. There are people playing 8h/day legit also. And even though they are rare, there is a good change some of them are actually good players and at leaderboards.
For clarity, I’m not saying they aren’t bots (can bot less or not fully for paragon), just mentioning 5k paragon isn’t even “almost” proof.
Some leaderboards are still pushed by only handful or even only 1 person. Now is good time to get good positions if leaderboard positions are of interest. I still have 20+ lvl cap at EU Vyr leaderboard to next person, but same time I know some actually good player could still get well ahead of me, even easily.
The 150 clear is posted on YouTube by one of the better known automation enthusiasts. He used a different account last season and before that so I presume he’s buying a new account each season to avoid his records being potentially wiped by banwaves.
News of banwaves spreads pretty quickly among the automation enthusiasts warning each other not to log on with potentially affected accounts. Safer to buy a new account each season, right?
I can’t see playtime unless I’m on the PC version. Website doesn’t list it AFAIK. 5k paragon in a season - yeah sure, for a heavy 4 man grouper. 5k in 4 weeks? Not a chance in hell. I will spell it out for you - these guys are CHEATING.
And there we go…thanks Zurtle.
Are you seriously comparing how you’re doing in console vs PC GR times?
Also, it’s probably the least played set in the game this season, because, as you might have noticed, there’s no Ethereal for it. A GR 100 is literally a top 50 leaderboard spot right now, which tells you that only a very small number of players are spending any time on it.
Well, so far this season I am at 2500 paragon playing virtually solo (I group for EN rotations) and very, very, very inefficient. I am running 2-3 min GRs from 125-129.
I would wager players doing sub 5 min GR145s to 150s and playing very efficiently in 4 man groups could get to P5000 at this point.
Are they all legit? LOLOLOLOL, no. Is it reasonable possible for some to do, sure.
Seems you are totally correct for this player this case based on other evidence, but I still disagree on the 5k. I’m already over 3,5k paragon myself, playing inefficiently (mostly solo, often pushing many builds instead of speed exp farm). And I also have a job.
I don’t want to defend cheaters, just don’t want to see medium amount of paragon to be used as evidence - very competitive individual can easily do that in 8h/d. One of my reqional no.1 spots was also taken my 6,7k para in 3 weeks player, who seems to play 23h/day whole season - so I became interested and made some calculations. While couple of thousands difference (5k vs 7k) in paragon might seem small to casual player, it still might mean 3x difference in playtime which is reasonable difference between a 100% sure cheater and a potential dedicated player.
The splitting of leaderboards makes it quite funny when you play a build that isn’t popular. I was on the LoD Nova leaderboard when I was still not even close to having a proper build and doing something like 105’s. Although it is also SSF, not sure what the split is in the playerbase between the two.
It’s so cute when somebody, who has absolutely no idea about efficient XP farming, is so confident at making statements like this.
5k is achievable 2 weeks this season manual no life. Botting is actually slower. Manual play was close to 20T per hour speed 13x in 1 min 4p nearly 2 weeks ago. Right now, could head into 23T mark.
EDIT: US region, top legit no life close to 6k now.
It’s not a bad thing. Even in better seasons, I rank in the top 5 for the set LBs on console mate. So perhaps you might want to throw your shade elsewhere.
And who’s fault is that? Blizzard received feedback for that particular seasonal PTR and did jack squat diddly SFA. Great customer service. NOT.
If that is indeed the case, then that is more proof that paragon points need to be really re-worked, and/or group benefits drastically reduced.
Yes, it seems that I am wrong with the p5000 not being attainable.
see, p5000 isn’t “medium”. It’s high end. Always has been. Something is VERY badly broken with this game.
5000 is nowhere near high end now. It used to be, back when 150’s were impossible. But remorseless power creep has led us here, in the game’s twilight, to a point where just a few weeks into a new season they are being done solo in 5 mins and 4 player meta groups are doing them in 90 seconds. 400 billion + exp each time, plus the group bonus plus the permanent pools bonus? They are building up paragon insanely fast, and doing it legit too. It used to be that anyone with that much paragon had to be botting, but now it’s probably much more efficient to just actually play the game.
Blizz finally found a way to defeat the botters…they just had to destroy the game to do it!
wow…I stand corrected. Wow, the game is really in a bad state, isn’t it? Given that some builds will never clear a GR150 without mega paragon (HT garg WD?). I’ll never clear a GR150, even with s6 impale. There’s no way I can do 8 hours straight non stop GRs all day, every day, 7 days a week (work & life). I guess unemployed no-lifers sitting in mum’s basement win at life some way LOL. Rather sad if you ask me.
A game should be based on skill, and NOT time spent playing it.
It can’t be all that bad then, can it?
Here seems we partially disagree. It has always been important factor in role playing games to be able to make your character better by doing some work. There are still skill factors: Skill to make the character building work correctly (efficiently, getting correct stuff and so on) and then skill in the GR runs.
If wanting a game where one can be best by just having skillz and with zero work, role playing games don’t seem very good fit.
Sure I’d probably take max para level and BiS items for free also, but then I’d be bored and stop playing very fast because I partly play for developing my character and not just to show my super skills. This already happens to me quite fast in D4, where after certain point it’s just about skills (if you don’t count 100h for one minor item upgrade grind).
And having some no-lifer sitting in their mum’s basement doing everything better than me (by work, skills or both) doesn’t make my accomplishments any less. I’m not annoyed by them at all, I’m only annoyed by the cheaters.
Play the game for fun and for your own enjoyment (no matter if you play for two or ten hours a day).
If placement on the leaderboard is important to you then compare yourself to players with around the same paragon level as yourself. (I usually find players with far less paragon points ranking higher than me 
)
