Farming is equal to a casino

Found a

Jah this morning around 0710 this morning on my 3rd run of Trav for the day. YAY!! However, its now 1412 and aside from the occasional but limited bathroom breaks and writing this lonely post I literally havent stopped running Trav. Has anyone else ever had this HORRIBLE great luck? Is it just me who gets this lucky? My last

Jah drop was 2 weeks ago on my first run of cows for the day, better believe it, nothing but cow runs for the next 6 hours.

There has to be more out there like me who literally "chase" that feeling. Since then with my astonishingly amazing 70% MF has since found a majority of trash with best rune being a

Lem

Handfuls of useless uniques, charms, jewels.

1 Highlords Wrath
1 4/5 P facet

Thoughts, opinions?

Yes, it is full random and it is normal. This is generally why lots of us play this game

My top drop was when I have died in Nihhatak and saw

Key dropped, gone recovering body and while clearing my way got this

Lo drop from regular mob

Apart from the obvious "MF doesn't affect runes" comment, if your day included a

Jah, you're not allowed to complain about it.

But yeah, streaks happen. A lot. Both, good and bad. That's just the nature of the game.

Completely normal. Horked all day yesterday. Nothing. Today, 15 mins in, a

Lo and 2 20 javazon gloves.

Didn't get squat out of trav in days. But I did just finally break 7 digits in a single run. Took long enough... (1,045,359 to be exact)

Furthermore, whats with thj sudden uptick in prices for

Jah? Dream? Last Wish?

I think you've discovered why casinos are full of people playing slot machines. Just one more pull of the lever mate. Just one more pull I promise.

Magic Find has zero impact on making runes drop nor does it change what rune drops when it happens. It only effects the color of items that drop (White/blue/green/yellow/gold name).

Just one more

Pul, man. Just one more

Pul, that's what i need for uping my

Titan's Revenge.

So... D2 farming isn't really 'farming', is it? As a farmer, one would normally work hard and expect that 'you reap what you sow'.

If it has to be called farming, then it's like farming on a horrible piece of land with crazily random weather conditions and season switches and water supply shifts, oh and the seeds may be sterile to start with, etc etc.

Ofc on the opposite side, you may just walk into the field one day, and boom it rains a million bacon cheese burgers right in front of you, and you are set for life... Burger-wise =p

Mmmm...

Ber ger....

I’ve been having fun running Nihlithak as fast as possible with Zon (173% FRW, no Enigma). Keys are one of the most satisfying slot machines, though not super exciting. But it’s fun to just run right past everything wearing

Stormshield at the start of public p8

Baal games. Throw javelins into big packs of flayers on the way, so runes and charms are always dropping (only 55 MF, really trying to never die also).

Best drop of the day was a

Gul from cows and

Gul yesterday from cows. I stopped with tunnel visioning for HRs runs and now just run whatever i feel like it. Yeah i may not be getting all the high runs but its nice when i do drop one.

as long as you stay in this cycle, the slot machines will run perpetually.

by being there, you miss playing other areas, or try other builds, or goof around in multiplayer, or even watch a movie at the cinema.

I have set my final goal to retire from all this boredom and will reveal in due time

So you got a

Jah, then ran trav for 7 hours without an HR and complain. Lol, you must be new to the diablo rng. I've been running trav for 5+ days non-stop with no HR until I dropped my first

Ohm and thought how lucky I was for finding it so quickly

If you got a

Jah rune you can consider yourself a (very) lucky man. You have saved maybe weeks or months of normal or good items drops for trading and cubing those runes to get there, so If you wouldn't get any decent for the next days don't worry because it would be fair in terms of luck.

I hate to quote just you, because this is directed towards multiple, the "complaint" as you will, isnt towards "not" getting another HR, the complaint is my own "stupidity" or human nature for an addictive personality which is chasing the rush, the feeling, the high if you will and zoning out for another 7 hours without realizing it to try and get another

You stole the words right out of my mouth Beardozer lol. Yeah any day that includes a

Jah is a W and a good day in Diablo. A lot of days it will just be basically nothing, but it's the hunt that keeps us going .

When do I get my free buffet and maybe 2 tickets to Cirque de Soileau

Tristram ?

With regards to your thread title, I’ve always said Diablo II is a slot machine with endless credits. A slot machine with endless credits I’ve been pulling on and off for over 20 years, and in no way is that depressing.
