MFO Summer 2023 Signups and Running Thread

[Nagisa]

@Nagisa is going to do 2000 hours of running in one week with his time machine.

Friday start, hype, hype!

Bold of you to think I'd stop at 2000.

Good luck, everyone! I just killed Hell Baal, and I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about with these new zones.

I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about with these new zones.

Unless you are doing TZ Andariel (which is not allowed for the tournament) I don't think you will notice any difference.

Is nulio's scoring file still functional?

MFO-Calculator-V3-Share.zip

drive.google.com

I've always found that quite helpful.

 

[Babyhell]

Haven't started yet Maybe I'll be able to get some runs tonight!

For teams, we are 5 it seems. Has any team been created yet?

 

[PhineasB]

no teams created yet. But if you throw your hat in, I will assign players to two teams of three, with average score used to call a winner!

 

[ziambe]

Absolutely beautiful non-qualifer for my superior bow grail, now down to -1

 

[Gynli]

Weekend result sent. How's everyone doing so far?

Mine sadly seems rather uneventful.

 

[ffs]

Didn’t run so far (not sure I’ll find the time) so no result from me at this point @PhineasB.

 

[PhineasB]

Thanks everyone who has sent updates so far. If you haven't already done so, please do, as I plan to post the first update this evening when I get home from work. As for me, I had to work all weekend, so only a couple hours with my Pitzerker

 

[LouB]

bad weekend to play, I got a total of 2 hours in in the last 3 days. No qualifiers

 

[thefranklin]

Update sent. I found an ohm from a superchest, but overall drops are not dropping. Ziambe must be getting everything.

 

[maxicek]

I'm not sending an update. I have a few qualifiers, but they are not worth adding up.
I'm stuggling to get back into TZs.

 

[Nagisa]

I found a bunch of those weird "new" sunder charms, and subsequently found a pile of my own dead bodies trying to use them. How many points does that get me?

 

[LouB]

Two hours tonight, mostly Lost City and Durance. Found 2 low qualifiers (one each) and Meph was dropping junk until the last drop when he gave up another low qualifier and 3 other Non-scoring set items.

My Durance map is poor as I have to run completely across level 2 to get to the level 3 door, but on the way found a nice Sharp GC of Vita

 

[PhineasB]

First 3 Days Update
All right, as of the first update, this is definitely anybody's competition to win. The leaders are tightly packed at the top, with some separation to the next group. But even for those with minimal scores, two good drops could bring you right back into it. Good luck to everyone throughout the week, and the next update will likely get posted Friday evening going into the weekend.

Very minimal play time coming up for the rest of the tournament, so barring some nice lucky drops, I expect to drop to the middle of the pack.

 

[thefranklin]

Why the hell can't they juice up superior items a bit? Wow, a whole 3 ar...

 

[Kruemelmonschda]

Same here. I have the suspicion due to the increased drop chance of sunder charms and vice versa the reduced chance of other drops the packs in the terror zones are less fruitful than expected. I switched between terror zones and normal cs quite a lot but the drops were worse than expected - even high runes are lacking. My highlights were these two drops. And that I managed to level my paladin to 98.:

 

[thefranklin]

Sunder charms are a complete separate drop chance and do not take the place of a normal drop, so you have nothing to worry about when finding them.
