post3758607.html#p3758607

Several people guessed that I would get all the way to the end.
Here's the result of the prize drawing:

  1. Pineohkeyoh - GRAND PRIZE winner
  2. Necrarch - declined the runner-up prize
  3. AzureAnvil - runner-up Enigma!
  4. Daydreamer1290
  5. Azmenar3764
  6. luizgeo
  7. Knappogue
  8. krathkor


Honorable mentions that guessed I would complete the playthrough but asked to be excluded from the prize drawing:

  • uuee
  • basicnecromancy
  • Schnorki


There is also going to be bonus event for the post-game, as I'm going to try to grind/farm to do an
Uber Tristram

Greetings, fellow diablo2.io members!

The time has come to yet again embark on a hardcore journey. This will be the third one - the first time, I went Sorceress and made it to Hell Ancients where I met my ultimate demise, and the second time, I tried Necromancer (decided by a random roll) and made it all the way to the end, defeating
Baal
on Hell. The general idea is the same as last time - I'm going to attempt a HARDCORE SSF (solo self-found) playthrough, with the ultimate goal of defeating Hell
Baal
. As a bonus, I may attempt to kill Dclone and do
Uber Tristram
, I haven't decided yet. I have no idea how long this is going to take, or rather... how far I'll get before I die. Because it's very likely that I'll die before I reach my goal.

This time, like the last, I drew a class randomly, but left out both Sorceress and Necromancer from the roll since I already tried those two classes.

The exact prize depends on the guess and how far I get. See below.

---

1. Death guess

If you guess that I die, the prize for a correct guess goes up by ½
Ist
for each Act;
Prize per Act & Difficulty where I die
Act 1 Normal = 1 Ist
Act 2 Normal = 1½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Normal = 2 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Normal = 2½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Normal = 3 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)

NOTE: These prizes are available on SC NL (softcore non-ladder) only.

These are the parameters you need to guess:
  1. Enemy type
  2. Act
  3. Area
  4. Difficulty
You need to guess on at least three of these parameters.
You can still win a prize for being partially correct.
  • If you get three of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize based on how far I got.
  • If you get all four of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x2.
  • If there are multiple winners, you split the winnings.

2. Completed playthrough guess (no Death)

One random winner (who guessed correctly that I would complete the whole playthrough) gets a GRAND PRIZE.
Grand prize details
The GRAND PRIZE is a choice between the following:
  1. [SC NL] Two of every rune in the game.
  2. [SC NL] A fully geared Lightning Strike Amazon (spearzon).
  3. [SC NL] A fully geared Mosaic Assassin.
  4. [SC NL] A fully geared Traps Assassin (trapsin).
  5. [SC NL] A fully geared Nova Sorceress.
  6. [HC NL] A Cold Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
  7. [HC NL] A Nova Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).


All links point to maxroll.gg . None of the builds are "perfected", lots of poor/mid rolls, subpar charms, etc. They are basically former ladder characters of mine, that I no longer have any use for. I've tweaked them slightly specifically for this giveaway (just some minor improvements). The HC NL items were provided by mockingbirdreal.

  • ONE winner gets to pick ONE prize of the above.
  • ONE runner-up gets an Enigma (on either SC NL or HC NL, your choice).


If you pick one of the gearsets, you will also get a
Token of Absolution
, and if you want, a full grush*.
* only on PC and on SC NL, I don't have a rusher on HC NL

Whatever isn't picked will be passed on to a future giveaway event.

---

3. Participation prize

In case nobody guesses my fate correctly, one random winner (among all participants) wins the same prize as per a correct Death guess (with x1 factor).

---

NOTE: Any prizes will be handed out on NON-LADDER.

---

You may of course just guess for fun without participating (i.e., you won't win any prizes), just let me know if that's the case :)

Have fun! xD
