Topic: HardCore, IRONMAN STYLE, with Videos

Bleary eyed, Old Gummy, found hardcore for Iron Men.

Now for all you strong silent types there is a true hardcore test.

Check out the link below, which I found on Reddit.com, spend too much time there.

I only watched one video but i do believe there are more of the bare skin adventures.

Na not nude, just no weapons or armor. Check out the link and see for yourself.

Time to find some ZZZZZs

i already read about that party some time ago, and i also like ironmans. So i also animated some friends to play ironmans in CE, but because of the difficulty, questrewards and found equipment were allowed. But most of the time no more than 2 players arrived at a2 poc ^^

It wasn’t all easy either. They had to adjust the party composition since too many Meteors cause server crashes, and they twice had to restart (from scratch) when the fire Sorceress died along the way. Just for bonus fun, they had a game crash while battling the extraordinarily dangerous Uber Mephisto. (That one is shown in the video below.)

Seems that also Blizzard has problems..
Posted on: August 12, 2009, 05:38:27 PMI like to see a full cleared CE game in all 3 diffs, without + exp items, to see char level if all areas get once cleared...
maybe someone likes to do a table

[Ramierez]

well i guess that would be lvl 70 or something like that, because you will never get 85 at the end of lr^^

@Ramierez

The highest level reached was 87, I believe. he he.   

I don't think I'll try this in SP.    

Like to run Amazons & Rouges too much. "You reach out and touch someone."

and then you electricut him 

[ChaosEmpire]

I just contacted fragfrog and invited him to replay the iron man in CE, I think they will be able to show that CE is still much to easy !

[Ramierez]

well lets see how far they can go, butt naked 

but i guess chances are slim in cgs. All you get when you are naked are auras to boost the resis and that will be a bit hard with the -300% resis in cgs

[ZenPdH]

They will also deal no dmg with a lvl 30 skill in cgs...
Maybe lr is possible if they have the time to beat eternity.

[Ramierez]

lvl 30 inferno, acrticblast and traps are strong enough for lr but with no def and no block as well as no resists. At least they can run fast without anything on

The right mix of characters are needed to be in a party of 8?

Single play without weapons or armor, one of the casting character might work. But to run and complete all three levels.... nasty to say the least.

Maybe we shall allow, to pickup everything you will find, and allow trading between the party...
but no gamble, no item run, only pickup and change against the weared item

[Ramierez]

well that would make it too easy, thats just the way we played the ironmans here, cube your equipment and get out to hit something.
most of the time the ironman ended because we thought, come on leoric is fun and before we could look around, half the party was dead^^.
But we didn't play as a real party, last man standing won the competition. We also drew straws who got which char, so we didn't have any thought through charcombination.

But having the possibility to pick up eggs and with that, temper items or cube RWs, that makes it too easy
