Its MFO Time!

[Thyiad1]

Re: Its MFO Time!

I'm a touch typist. Skill-changing never bothered me. I actually had so many hot keys on my first character, I ran out of buttons. I never use the mouse wheel for skill changing. Keys all the way.

Oh and I think it's the little skellies on wave 2 that poison more than the big guys.

EDIT:
Sure I'd posted them before but:
Dread Stalker
Wyrmhide Boots
Fingerprint: 0xd7156815
Cold Resist +16%
Poison Resist +23%
Poison Length Reduced by 25%
21% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

Don't forget lightening has a range. If I was at the lower end of that range on that run it would take a while than if I hit the top of the range. As I said, they are both average runs. Not great. Not TERRIBLE.

Re: Its MFO Time!

Nice vids Thy. I just don't understand how it takes you so long to kill wave 4 They usually melt under my lightling. Rest is just nice.

And show us your boots, I'm curious what are those

This thing gave me some more motivation for running:

Serpent's Small Charm of Vita
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 40
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 85
Fingerprint: 0xcc3fc389
+20 to Life
+15 to Mana

but it's still far cry from what I was capable last time

Re: Its MFO Time!

Virtue: Just your name / category / top five finds thus far. See post #1 of this thread for more details. In any case, you don't *have* to send your results in now. If it's later, I can just throw that into the second standings report a few days from now.

EDIT: Nice charm, frozzzen.

Re: Its MFO Time!

An awful day, just awful.
I managed to pull a 150 runs long "no uniques whatsoever" streak; when they started dropping, the rare qualifiers among them didn't change the score at the end of the day; I was about to level up at the start of the day, but due to deaths, I was finally able to level up in the last 20 runs; for an unknown reason my runs started to get slower which caused the average time to rise to 65 seconds (and with 720 runs done, that's quite a change).
If I'd known that today would be so crappy I probably wouldn't play at all. The only thing keeping me going were decent non-qualifiers posted below:

Re: Its MFO Time!

1000 runs done!

I have met my goal, and sent in my scores. This is certainly the most sustained MF effort in which I have ever engaged.

... and yes, I think I will keep going.

Re: Its MFO Time!

Some of the non-qualifying items posted are VERY nice! Definitely worth the effort when you find some of the juicy stuff.

@Thy: Watching your vids makes me want to build a pure lightning sorceress. Looks like fun!

Re: Its MFO Time!

At the end of day 3, my mfo qualifiers stash (yes, I really named it that xD) has now swollen to a grand total of [highlight]7[/highlight] itamz. Only about 2x qualifiers per day if my math is correct. FAIL. Further adding insult to injury is my nonqualifiers have been equally as sparse. Thems are the breaks, I guess, but I keep plugging away.

And as a special treat for all our friends at team SLOWMG,

Re: Its MFO Time!

To all those in the Other Level 85 Areas category: I plan to post the first standings in roughly 20 hours from this post. Might be slightly later, depending on RL, but that's the plan. Please have your updates sent in to maareek (at) gmail (dot) com by then.

Hmm, last place thus far in Baal...at least my goal of a top 10 finish is still looking strong. :badteeth:

It seems Blizzard has seen fit to end the SC2 beta earlier than anticipated, namely on Monday the 19th (tomorrow), so I *may* end up getting in more runs than previously expected. Still proleague playoff Starcraft action to watch, though, so don't start shaking in your boots just yet, fellow Baal runners.

I was going to wait until after the MFO, since there's at least some controversy over the crazy influx of rune shots, but for the sake of the team:

Spoiler

(...with some change, on the side: 2x Vex, 6x Gul, and so on.)

Not 100% sure on run total since the counter overworks my computer for whatever reason, but my paper/pencil method gives 1733, ie. level 85 to 95.5 with 10 deaths from 93 to 95.5. No more running until Friday at the earliest though.

 

[roshen]

Re: Its MFO Time!

I'm in the lead? I'm in the lead????


Er, I mean, of course I am. That's how I planned it. Hmph.

 

[Steven Q Urkel]

Re: Its MFO Time!

*runes*

:shocked:

Holy Cow, man. Even if you don't find a single Dangoon's Teaching I'd still consider your MFO a success. Not only are you finding HRs, but you still squeaked out a few Gul and Vex as well. Other than my 1 HR, I've found nothing higher than a bloody Io, and only one of them at that. :whistling:

And I don't have any run counters or the like installed but I've done no where near the amount of runs you have. If I can hit 1700 runs total for the whole MFO I'd surprised.

Re: Its MFO Time!

I'm terribly sorry, especially to my Kittens!!! team-mates, but my game files have somehow been corrupted and I can't get D2 to run properly. By the time I go through the whole backup characters and stashes, uninstall, reinstall, repatch, and reinstall RWM, Trenshadow, runcounter, 3dfx glide wrapper, and make sure everything is working properly and I haven't lost anything, I won't have much time left to run. Part of this is that the first thing I have to do is find my bloody game discs! So I am very regretfully pulling out.

 

[Thomh]

Re: Its MFO Time!

Wow Nagisa! That is quite the rune collection you`ve got there. Your number of runs are very scary as well!

Edit: I`m with nualum: Um is my highest rune so far. So far I`ve not seen much that indicates that Blizzard has increased the rune drops outside of LK

 

[nualum]

Re: Its MFO Time!

Holy cow indeed! I'm running pindle and I'm not much past that count. Highest rune thus far is an Um, not that I'm expecting much in that department.

 

[scrcrw]

Re: Its MFO Time!

First update sent. Decent amount of qualifiers so far (for the small number of runs), no comment on the quality

 

[Fabian]

Re: Its MFO Time!

Crap, second place! 40% into it, I had all of my top 5, so I think it's time for some improvement. Starting to get why Pindle can be boring

Also, highest rune is a Lem.

 

[jdkerr]

Re: Its MFO Time!

For rune tally from another Pindle runner:

1x Ist
1x Mal
1x Lem

 

[roshen]

Re: Its MFO Time!

No point in posting my rune drops. I'll just shame myself.
Best might have been a Vex. And someone here thinks that's change!
But seriously Nagisa, sure you're not still running 1.13b:badteeth:?
