MFO Summer 2022 Signups and Running Thread

Last time I was running this it was possible to retreat from that item requests and no trade profile was needed. Is this possible also this year?

m4ke
 
@m4ke yes, we are following the same approach this year also. I pulled the relevant text below:
For this year's MFO, we are continuing the approach tested last year where people can sign up and opt out of claiming. If a participant goes this route, they don't need a trading profile and are excluded from claiming (cannot claim as a winner and cannot have items claimed by winners). Instead of listing the trade tag in sign up, members who opt out should list "No Claiming".
 
Speaking of opting out of claiming ...

... Claiming was the thing that has long kept me from participating. (I'm a self-found hermit. I don't want your items, so I'd prefer you don't take mine.) Anyhow, with that no longer an issue ... I'm in!

I'll be running D2R Baal with my would-be-UT99er Lightning Sorceress (now a bit better than clvl 98.25). Some sort of wrist ... forearm ... hand ... issue(s), has caused me to really cut back on computer time in the past two months. But, when the start time comes, I'll endeavor to make a decent showing.

I'm running with my UT99 character, so no claiming.

Alright @maxicek is going with no claiming, and there are only 1-2 entrants in Baal and A85 who can claim across patches and platforms. So I think we are officially abandoning claiming, which simplifies things a bit. I'll update the opening post, and cleaned up sign-up table is below.

Also, my poisonmancer hit lvl 91 and now has revives, so likely will do A85 with him. But I'm going to run my untinwked 99er Sorc also in CS, and if she drops a Jah and can build Enigma, I may go bonkers with her at Pindle or AT instead.

@PhineasB just wanted to let you know I will start later. We decided to add a few days to our vocation so I won’t be able to play before sunday (if I have the energy to do anything at all)

I'll be joining the Baal category as well with my HC-UT-99 Druid. Be a slow go but the exp is what I'm after. Maybe I got a crazy drop or 2. Good luck to all runners.

Also now away for the first weekend. I will just have to make up for it in the rest of the week :)
 
Prepare to be obliterated! After three long years of off and on time travel with the ultimate dream of creating the most overpowered passive hurricane druid ever, I still am not anywhere near complete! Not only that, my game stopped launching so I reinstalled with 1.14b.

So in the interest of competing anyway, I present jimsfwind_AYAYA the self found single-pass-full-clear-until-hell-maggot-lair hurricane druid. Screenshot001.jpg

Started today, farming with a whopping 200 or so mf next week (hopefully!), this fine specimen of ultimate end game content won't even be able to use 2/3 of his drops because maggot lair 1 and 2 are a84.

No enigma? No problem! I'll waltz my way to victory as I patiently wait for my enemies to die in front of me. So if you don't want to suffer a humiliating defeat to a man with a dream and no job, hobbies, or sleep schedule, then you better put in some serious effort! No wishy-washy 20 hour 800 mf pit zerker is gonna beat me and I mean it!

After much deliberation, and especially after @jimsfriend 's terror-inducing entry into the category I was in ( :p ), I've decided to switch to the Pindle+ camp if that's allowable still.

@LouB real druids run a85! Why not kill a few mobs on your way to Baal's waves and enter *both* categories. Imagine all those poor poisonmancers and pitzerkers and AT sorceresses losing to *two* druids :D
 
I haven't been active much in the SPF, but lately I've been leveling up a Barb in D2R in preparation for MFO. I'm stopping at 94, not just because I need a break from Baal runs, but also to spare some time to acquire a Barb Torch before Day 1.

Time flies, this starts in just a couple of days! This year I've mostly been concerned with PvP, looking forward to some good ol' MFing. :)

So what build/target are you guys going to run with?

I was just going to go with 1.14 Pitzerker as the obvious choice, but then again in 1.14 SC I'm really just looking for PvP upgrades... which in the S&U department is basically more CoAs.

So now I'm rather leaning towards HC Barb (Singer) in D2R. I need to finish this HC sept in D2R after all. Again probably just running the Pit... But I'll give some of the new lvl 85 areas a try at least, maybe trying some kind of longer run where loading times aren't as frustrating, even if it's a little less efficient.

I barely touched D2R this year, and the patch 2.4 GoMule migration seems painful as well... :( but I guess I have to get around to it some time, also can't hurt to update/tweak D2R chars anyway in light of the recent synergies/balance changes.

EDIT:
Did that whole GoMule exercise and prepped my runner... A poorly geared HC Pitzerker in D2R. :)

Build: 20 Berserk, BO, Howl, Find Item, 15 Find Potion, 1 mastery + usual passives, pre-reqs

Shako PTopaz
Enigma LP
Grief PB 35/359
Ali Baba with some extra MF from jewels
TO belt
TO gloves
Highlord's
Nagelring
Rare ring MF/AR/resists
WT

Cast Switch: Ist'ed Suicide Branch + Hoto

Inventory Gheeds, cube, otherwise mostly plain MF SCs, some life/resist as well

575/496 MF on kill/hork

With BO being a Berserk synergy now, I could get to life amounts I felt comfortable enough with for HC, around 4.4k currently. Also Ali Baba can now be used as budget off-hand for Berserk, helpful as I don't have enough Ist runes in HC yet.
