Needing a lot of sockets,

Hi everyone. I'm trying to make a "packege" for players, new and old, that lets you "speed-run" the game for 1-75 for a new char. I'm doing this, cause I want to keep the community alive and for older players, to try a new char, with whatever build they choose. I have some/a lot of things that need socketed, to maxiasy the speed of it (cause the beginning is always the most boring and it takes forever. Of course without the right stuff. You can keep an eye on for the last forum-post I make, cause I'm gonne make it!! Too much Pride and time, effort and "money" on it, to make it go to waste.

What I need is 6 socket runs, to put

Sol/14@res into them, to increase the best potential.
I'm willing to pay an

Ist for each socket rum. (hope I don't have to, considering what I need them for, but are willing to pay a little more, for the help.

Ps.
I really hope for the best of this. In advance, thanks. I'm on EU server. But if you are not, add me on bnet, and we can figure something out.

I have already given a lot of stuff to ShadowHeart, so you can ask him, if I'm a good/trust-worthy person.
Sorry for including you. Need this to happen, before I need a new break from the game. :/

I can invite you to our

Larzuk Rushers group. It's a bit inactive but you should still find some people to get sockets with.

Are you looking for someone to rush you to

Larzuk to use the quests later, or someone who has some free

Larzuk socket rewards available?

I may be able to help with both.

I think you already have. I turned the notification off, cause they were only talking about ladder before I did.

I need to be rushed. Well, I can rush you as well, just so it is fair. And I am most certainly willing to pay for. Have already spend almost a jet-plane to make this happen, so don't mind paying a little more.

Maybe I'm simply not understand you, but what exactly are you trying to do? Give people starter gear? Create a service where you rush and help people level to 75?

No, I want to borrow the stuff from me. I have gear and all the charms with dmg, ar and frw on them. The earliest charm is from 16, but I have low lvl "power" gear to get there. You can basic sleep-walk through the game from lvl 2.

Ahh, I see. Youre providing twinking gear and rushing at the same time. Nice service man. I don't have any spare socket quests for you, I need about 6 myself.

My week is pretty filled for work, but I'm up for setting up a rushing session for multiple characters some time next week.

I like the idea
can't rush you but have plenty of sockets quests available
let me know

I can rush you in non ladder game

I appreciate the offer but I'm currently restricted to only xbox play at the moment. My main PC is giving me issues, and my laptop hates D2R so much I can only do trades with it.

speedrunning the new players to 75 does not keep the game alive lol.
from 1-30 is the most fun about the game, after 30 there's no new areas to explore and no new skill, it's just a never ending grind to 99.
I loved grinding in L2C3, there are several areas where you can farm depending on your character, but here it's just the same small room forever.
I know diablo 2 has it's limitation against an mmo with massive worlds, but really, diablo 2 gameplay is a bit repetitive, and the world being tiny makes it even worse.

I agree quite a bit. SSF from level 1 to Normal

Baal is the best. Nightmare is just a slog. Hell is where there is a real challenge depending upon build and gear. Until D2R I always played to clear every map from start to finish. Playing that way without Enigma makes the game feel a bit bigger. I only recently heard of the Ironman challenge and that looks interesting except I don't have the time.

Ironman challenge? What's the Ironman challenge?

Thank you all for the help, I really appreciate it.
Have to go through the gear I already have, to see what I'm missing. But one thing I know I'm missing, is a weapon between level 2 and 25/27, depending on magic or physical char.
Atm I have

Rixot's Keen from level 2, and that one can last a lot of levels due to it's "insane" dmg, compared to most weapons available at low levels. But it does become less effective, once you reach 15-18. I don't have that much knowledge about weapons. I'll make a new forum post, once I have made my list, about what I have. So I can get some good inputs, on where and what I need, cause I know that I'm missing something between Honor and Grief. But like I said, I'll make a different forum post, once I know exactly what I have.

But in advance, thanks for all the help you people are offering.

Maybe

Butcher's Pupil and then Oath?

I disagree.

I've already cleared all the content multiple times with multiple classes so that part is moot.
Right now, I have ideas and gear for classes and builds that I want to try but the only bottleneck is not having a lvl 70+ Class to build with. So yeah, by all means, rush my everything bc I've completed every single quest in this game 20 years ago. There are always new gear combos, skill combos, gear and skill combos to try. Hell, I'm doing a melee Necro, first time.

So please explain what you mean because if you use the chess pieces to play checkers, ur gonna think chess sucks. Use the pieces to play chess, and the game is alive!

Btw - did you know if you walked from the Rouge encampment to the Throne room clearing all quests it wld take abt 60 hours if you didn't

Teleport everywhere?

You ever notice how the game makes Sanctuary feel small because we

Teleport everywhere like caffeine-addled ghosts? Strip that away and suddenly it’s a continent-spanning Death march.

Let’s Ground this in reality.


We’re talking:

Walking, not teleporting
Killing what blocks you
Completing all quests once
Solo pace
Not full-clearing every map like a museum tour

So basically: a “normal human on foot” playthrough.

Over 35 hours on NORMAL and because of the way drops work, the replay value is infinite.
You could grind your whole life and never find a

Zod or

Tyrael's Might.

If there is ever a time you load into this game and say "I don't have anything to do", then you don't know what this game fully has to offer. That's all.

Teleport the world is still tiny.

That's your opinion and I'll respect that.

I backed mine up with facts.

Anyway, We'll just play our own way and agree to disagree.

J/c tho: In your opinion, if speed running players doesn't help the game stay alive what, in your opinion, does or would?
