Yeah I saw that, awesome
I didn't even knew who they were before DIII, but now I am so happy for them. Crazy.

As far as I'm concerned, this is fucking awesome. Something that was claimed impossible, and the ridiculousness of the feat (if people are familiar down the road with pre-patch inferno) has just been beaten. This is amazing.

haha Kripp talking about people DDOSing him and how he's had to do all this shit to prevent it.
People are such complete dickwads.

Anyone else gearing up to make last second bids on stuff before the servers go down, in hopes that the auctions end while the maintenance is still ongoing, and you get deals?
I've got about 3-4 items I'm keeping my eye on, but I'm low on gold so not sure how many I'll be able to snag.

Basically, 1 hour.
This is so epic and I am laughing loud right now.
edit: :lol, keyboards prepared to get broken if anything went wrong hahahaha
You know there are some salty folks out there that wanted this. Because of the quick patch , they can never equal it. Hilarious.
It's the first I've ever seen.

Just about to hop on now and take a gander.

How hard does the IAS nerf hit?
Yeah because only streamers play HC
He's def jelly that people beat their broken ass game before they could "fix" it.

"People think that was the first HC Inferno clear? Weird. Webcams r 2 legit 2 quit. hay HAY"
From his Twitter. It's certainly more then reasonable to think that someone did it without streaming or a cam, but you'd think they would have posted an achievement or screenshot or something somewhere.

Bashiok's become such a troll.
If it's been done, who did it and where's the evidence of it?

Wow, that sounds so petty LOL.
He's from the new breed of troll community managers. It's him and the guy from DICE against the world.

He wasn't always like this. Years of interacting with the b.net cesspool has warped his brain, kind of like a Chris Metzen character.

I'm honestly baffled that someone could have potentially done this already and just kept it to themselves.
It's entirely possible that they didn't and english speaking communities just aren't aware of it
We get Chinese leaks of WoW related shit 20 seconds after its posted. I really don't think it's that.
And presumably without any assistance. A big part of this progression was accelerated progression thanks to people donating pieces of gear or helping out with goblin farming or any other variety of functions.
That isn't to take away from their achievement, just that the speed of their achievement would definitely have been slower with no assistance.
Yes, it's entirely possible.
Would someone buying a $250 Horadric Hamburger be considered a "donation"?
Jesus thats a salty ass dude right there. No reason to even go there but to be an ass. Who cares, its the first confirmed kill and it was streamed so nearly 50k could watch it live. Including his ass, who was ready with a snarky tweet at 3 am in the goddamn morning right after they downed him and started celebrating.
The worst thing is that he's an employee of Blizzard.
So, I can't use the RMAH because I'm in Japan.
Got my account locked for the first auction that I sold and after calling the support 2 times this is what I heard:
- You can use a RMAH different than the region of your account.
- Your account/paypal addresses (namely the country) must be the same as the place from which you're playing.
So I'm toasted, since Japan doesn't really like paypal. Oh well.

I think the upcoming nerf made Kripp reach for every method possible. If there would be no difficulty nerf in the future he could do it the normal, slower way. Time was of essence.
This is true, but they also didnt start day 1 either. Krip was playing softcore at release IIRC. I reckon any acceleration by a donated chestpiece or something here and there could have easily been matched or exceeded by them had they started with Hardcore as soon as their characters hit level 10 and unlocked it. They just would have been grinding the ransacked cellars and Act 2 resplendants and whatnot in hardcore instead of normal. They still would have done it quickly.
I feel the same way about hotfixes too. Quick slick patches for nerfs, most undocumented, but weeks to fix the gear ilvl drop scaling rates in inferno.

It's possible sure, but in todays age of Reddit/Twitter/etc. you'd think you would hear SOMETHING.
No doubt, this would have come sooner I'm sure if Kripp wasn't fighting DDOS attacks for 3-4 days, but as he mentioned himself he met so many new "bros" on this run. When they would do goblins they would chain goblins ridiculously fast and trade and sell each other items.
