Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Had a bit of a mess up when adding skill points to Farr, if I'm understanding the rules correctly. I caught myself before I broke any rules, but I believe he has been made less viable due to my mistake. Sorry about that one.
 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

I hope nothing too bad happened, I have a soft spot for farr after playing him twice already ... and I dont think I had directed him towards being the most powerful build either!

Sorry if he was a bit young, he was rich in non-xp experience, if that makes sense!

Antilles, being a good deal older than farr has powered through the act. Gonna hang around the river a bit for fun.

Ackbar the druid has killed Diablo and moved on to act 5.
 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Dooku has been sent to Nualum, Solo recieved in good order from Jiansonz (though I did have to retrieve him from the spam folder).

Sorry for not getting done earlier, my power went out Friday afternoon, didn't come back on until Saturday evening, and then was out again this morning for a few hours. :coffee: Got things wrapped up as quick as I could, but probably ran LK a bit longer than I should have (I was having INCREDIBLE luck with gem shrines, tho...it was hard to stop) :wink:

Incidentally, while I haven't played the same character twice yet, I have sent characters to Nualum twice in a row now...

WoRG

Well there's a certain lvl 30 barb skill that I just reflexively add points to. After I clicked the button, I remembered it wasn't a core skill and that since there was nothing after it, the skill couldn't be considered a Pre-req and so must be a power skill. He's essentially wasted a power skill because of it.



 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

That does significantly weaken the character but doesn't look like you broken any rules at least.

I still haven't received my character :(
 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Maybe with core skills and 2 power skills all isnt lost.

Yaddle is now chilling on the mountain.

Sorry, my bad. I thought I had enough time to burn through Act 3 over the weekend, but it looks like I underestimated it. Binks is still alive and being rushed through Act 3 as fast as I (safely) can.


 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Hmm... thinking about level 30 barb skills, I don't see any "waste" there. There's War Cry, Battle Command, Berserk, and Whirlwind... all of them are useful (Natural Resistance is a Core Skill). I guess you could argue that Whirlwind might be redundant or useless, based on whatever was selected first, but everything else seems like a perfectly valid choice. In fact, I found myself making the exact same choice... it will be interesting to see if we picked the same skill.

@ cenyth: thanks for the update. You have until the end of the day Wednesday. If you cannot finish by then, you will be disqualified.

@ Kestegs: you may take an appropriate amount of additional time to complete act 4, if need be, based on when you receive the character.

I have a problem. Palpatine is too young.

You almost gave me a heart attack when I read the first quote - I played Palpatine through Act 3 and will be keeping him in Act 4, so if you also had Palpatine, we would've had some problems indeed. But it looks like you have Ackbar instead, so I won't have to fight you for the right to play Palpatine. :)



 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Farr has bested Diablo and waits in Harrogath. I am out of town from Thursday til Sunday afternoon, but I can email him to an intermediary so that he can be passed on promptly.
 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Dooku is also safely through to Harrogoth. I very much look forward to discussing his past and future.

ah thats cool, it can only be one of 2 skills. either way it will be fine, i cant really think of any other skills that would work better anyway

Go ahead and email him to me, and I can pass him for you on Sunday.

Yes, I received Palpatine by mistake. Our fearless moderator sent me the wrong file (believe it or not he is not perfect, only his father is perfect). Luckily that copy of Palpatine was only just arriving at Kurast docks, so I realized something was wrong.



 
Re: Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge 2011

Binks received, And should be completed in time, barring something unexpected.
