Saddest day in my d2 career. His map was truly glorious. Something like 8.99 boss packs per run, most were within a tight vicinity of each other. I have very little patience for map rolling and learning new maps, so it makes it even more sad 
From efficiency point of view, only those two paths matter since they are straightforward to the council. Of those two path 2 is superior because it takes one teleport less to do perfect positioning unless player plans on hitting minions from the left side allowing them to scatter more easily (not to mention drops are supposed to be checked from the right side, checking from the left side has a risks of missing items).
All in all I bother to check only path 2 when rolling maps because all other paths are strictly inferior (path 1 included). Unless they have higher probability of spawning ideal maps which I didn't check to be honest.
Next Conviction roll I checked. While my FR of course plummeted (because I'm not wearing Conviction myself), the Merc display still showed 90 all resist.
Checked this also. My FR went from 41 to -35, meaning it's not lvl 11 as that would have taken me down 80. So it must be rounded down to level 10. Actually lvl 10 should be -75 instead of the -76 I got. Not sure how that comes about.
If you wait too long (5+ min) or use wps, I think it writes to disk. And I usually kill the whole process tree.I tried this one time when i accidentally lost my pit zerker's god map and it didn't work
You broke your round 1 record, congratz !Also, I got my first qualifier after 17 minutes. I probably got my last qualifier after 17 minutes, but here's to at least one more
/owned
That must be why it didn't work for me. WP's must trigger an auto-save. I know the process kill -can- work in theory, as i've lost some pgem cubes one time when my game randomly crashed and i had to kill it.. all my flawless gems were back where they were. Maybe i'll just use @art_vandelay's method of popping off my N key if i ever happen upon a godly map again lol

It's been a few months since i did it, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't until i took the WP that i realized what had happened, as that's when i noticed my map wasn't revealed
The 5ish minute thing i can confirm is an auto save interval, because when i was experimenting cow runs on my javazon in Round 1, i could never tell what my time was because they were just slightly longer than whatever save process occurs and the Run Counter would always start over before the run was over. If i was paying attention to the run counter before a S/E, it would usually have previous run around 5:15-5:45 and then the next one would be 10-30 seconds, so it must not be an exact timer, but somewhere between 5 and 6 minutes.
