2019 Spring RFL Sign-up and Running Thread: 2nd Round

[Jocular]

My word, those mf boots! I want to pick up everything and I've been resisting the urge to...I might give in.

 

[Shuffleblast]

@Shuffleblast apparently it only takes @ffs 15 minutes to roll a really great one. maybe he'll do it on MP for us.

I'd be happy with my map from last year. That one took less than 15 min to roll.

This will have to do. The spot is a bit awkward when it comes to telelanding and I'll have to skip Toorc who is inside, but whatever. Starting tomorrow!

This is my map. I'm not sure if I should reroll for a better one, since here the 2 groups are pretty closely together and all the members are here.

 

[T72on1]

@Tatterson Far too spread out. You really want them close to each other, not divided into two groups.

Having said that, I thought that @art_vandelay 's map is very nice. It's almost identical to mine. So now @ffs' remark about it not being that good at all has me in doubt again. Getting them as close to each other as in @Shuffleblast 's map would be amazinb of course, but I think I'll try to find the blind spots ffs is talking about first. Have I ever mentioned I hate rerolling maps?

 

[ffs]

@T72on1 Definitely worth looking for those landing spots. His map can be very good if he can stop them from moving, and sounds like probably so is yours.

~4 hours to go here. Don't think I'll go for a second set immediately, kind of burned out with Travincal. Maybe after taking a break of a week or something..

I'm on pace to breaking my personal best for most qualifiers per RFL round, but you know, my tournament RNG... does anyone need Um and Pul runes?

Who do you think will believe that ? I know you're on a Vex+ run(e) streak !

 

[T72on1]

So far the trolling in this thread has been subpar, to say the least. The power of my trolling is in the absence silence of it .

Spoiler

Or maybe I just have nothing to show for my runs yet?

@ffs Thanks. I'll try to see if I can find such blind spots then.

 

[Babyhell]

@T72on1
RFL is serious business, no time for trolling

Spoiler

or when checking forum at work, but shhhh...

 

[maxicek]

5.5 hours left, of which the last 5 hours has been dry for runes.

Keep pushing everyone - The drops will come.


@Gripphon - How much AR does your Barb have?

 

[ffs]

I lack the ability to troll. It's a genetic defect almost.

 

[Gripphon1]

Guys, @ffs is trolling you about the maps. They are all wonderful maps.

@maxicek
Theoretically 5k is enough with dual Grief. I have something like 5.5k

 

[ffs]

What did I just say?

 

[sir_cyclops]

I’m just saying that you must have some insane luck @ffs to be able to roll good maps so easily.

Only 7:15 in over here. Doing well is still in the realm of possibility. I am doing 26s-30s trapper runs. Normally 30s but I can achieve 26 if I’m lightning focused. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing them.

 

[maxicek]

I actually did roll my map in MP and brought two characters in.

Then I realised one of the Barbs had a Faith merc, so I needed to go back to NM to change to Might

@sir_cyclops Yes, vid, gear etc please.

 

[Gripphon1]

I'll give my set a grade in the end. I'll consider set a success if it delivers at least 3 really good items, or one godly item. These are my expectations:

Rings - few must be solid, I do expect at least one really good of those

Amulets - I don't expect anything here, I just wanna see are they worth the trouble at all since they can't turn 2 skills. Still, potential of finding something good I'll never use is there!

Charms - I started to pick them up randomly, here few might seem useful, however will one turn really good or not we shall see

Jewels - hard to get a good jewel, I don't have high hopes here, but at least one must be solid. I hope for perfect fire facet

Unique - it would be nice to get rare items like Metalgrid or Wisp Projector. Perfect Wisp would be amazing, however like a jackpot. I do know one item I found is high-end good item, however we shall see what others picked up will bring

Qualifiers - only thing I want is at least average set in quality of those. It won't largely influence the grade as I don't need runes, but it will surely bring nice nail to the coffin if drops are solid in this area. Cham is always useful to find, CBF is just so valuable modification.

Basically I wait to finish to check all drops. Exciting, isn't it. Hundreds of drops with treasures lurking.

 

[sir_cyclops]

@maxicek, I'll record a video and get it posted here soon. It's Devi's gear from ut99ing, but I'll do a dump. She's mostly cookie cutter (hoto, spriti, enigma, shako, maras, ravenfrost for cbf, res/mf boots, bk rings, the fire sorb unique gloves, goldwrap for mf and fastest trap laying speed, 3 trap skillers, gheeds, and mf/res/life scs. 3bo cta with spirit. merc is eth cv infinty, ral'd non-eth andys, and 3k ebug forti). Surprised people require steelshade or kiras+gangel. My merc dies maybe 1 in 100 runs with fort/andys. CoS is strong though.

@Gripphon How do you not see the item's stats in gomule when you hover over it? or do you just not look?

 

[art_vandelay]

@sir_cyclops He most likely uses the 'Pickup From ...' fields under the Clipboard. For Charms you have to click quickly and then ignore them in the Clipboard, a lot harder though if you are curious

When do you cast your CoS btw? If you do that before the majority of Hydras are cast then the merc basically can't die because Hydras are the only dangerous things for him there.

That makes sense. He might do pickup from cube and drop it all in his cube. And yeah, I cast CoS first thing. I actually stop and cast it before landing on the balcony. I also tank them for him if there's a bunch (since it doesnt really matter where I stand and use fireblast).
