Prometheus Season 22 Solo Challenge

General Discussion
41

Well, I’ve got my Rogue + Slanderer now, and also this little beauty of an amulet…

Dropped down to around 8100 STR by changing to that from the ancient immunity amulet I had been wearing, but the non-ancient FoT is vastly superior. Whilst the affixes aren’t max’d, they are a quadfecta of CHC / CHD / CDR / Elemental, with a socket, so it’s all good. Recovered some of the STR lost by putting on my first rank 100 Caldesann’s onto my chest piece.

None of which matters, because I already failed the challenge.

42

Just reached 110 in 10:36 (I do have a screenshot of it) with the help of a Power pylon saved for the boss. Will probably need to level up a Stricken soon to go higher.

43

I never asked your to get to 4K paragon within a season. I asked that you beat your current personal non-season GREATER RIFT best.

The challenge was for you to beat non-season records using a new season character. Not even you can claim to level a new season hero from 1-70 and then to proceed on to GR110 in 4 hours. So, in essence, you had help.

And that was the basis of the challenge. To meat or exceed GR bests without help.

I was able to get to GR110 at around Paragon 1500 or so non-season.

Again, my goal is not to reach 4K Paragon, which even I will admit cannot be done without help. My goal is to beat my own current non-season record of Greater Rift 110, which you are perpetually claiming I could not have done without help from others.

Which is true in a sense, but only if you count the help of paragon experience gained from other heroes in previous seasons.

I intend to get to Greater Rift 110 purely solo in Season 22, in order to prove once and for all that I am not a liar.

So why not try to prove me wrong, and reach GR129 or higher with Paragon 2200 again, purely solo?

Oh, wait. I forgot. You’ve already disqualified yourself from the challenge by using a second and in joining group games.

I guess you really don’t have what it takes. With due respect, you’re Just like a Flat Earther. Full of talk, but unable to prove any of it.

44

Prometheus, let’s just see how much higher than 110 you can go this season.

45

At no point have I made such a claim.
Go on, provide a link / quote.

Regardless of whether you manage that this season or not does not alter what you said in a previous season, which wasn’t true. By the way, I’ve already done a GR110 100% solo.

I have used a 2nd hero, yes.
I haven’t yet done anything other than purely solo. I said that if I did Bounties in future, I’d do them in split groups. That’s why my screenshots showed my seasonal bounty count, to show that there have been no bounties completed increase, i.e. I haven’t done any more bounties, not even solo.

With 100% solo play, I’ve already reached GR110.

The 2nd hero was used initially for the solo GR55 conquest - you know, part of the season journey to Guardian, something you’ve already said you won’t manage to do.

I’ve already deleted the Crusader.

Man, if you haven’t done group bounties yet, i admire your patience.

I am currently at 1.1 k paragon. My highest clear is GR112. I left my necro for the moment and sticked to Crusader bombarment. Not a bad run. Had plenty of time left but i was struggling with survivability. No augments still. I like this build more every day. It might dethrone my favourite WW/barb, lol.

I got to my first goal which was to get thorns as secondary in most of my gear. Cooldown is a pain, but i finally managed to achieve perma - Akarat. Still haven’t stacked any area damage, cause i prioritized the first two. Shield, shoulders and amulet are tedious to get as perfect but i can settle for what i have for the moment.

I ve grouped up with others around 14 times but only just for bounties, cause i knew i would need to craft a lot of crimson set pieces. I used the remaining mats to reroll some slots occupied by weak items. Am i considered solo player so far? Well technically i am not, but i just cannot stand doing 25 bounties alone over and over.

Yukos, the “challenge” is just designed to make one person triumph over another. One player only has to reach or exceed 110 whereas the other has to beat a 129… (even though 129 and 110 are just “a spitting distance” apart, as someone has claimed).

Still 100% solo play.
I just applied another rank 100 Caldesann’s…

I’ll see what GR that let’s me get to later tonight.

49

Oh i see. Yeah 129 and 110 are day and night :slight_smile:

50

I agree. At first I thought I’d hate it because the clones are somewhat the same random RNG like the S21 buffs, but meanwhile I changed my mind. You can somewhat control the use of the clones.
However, it’s all OP :slight_smile: I play Wizard, and I did GR92 with the Hydra Wiz, GR94 with the Twister Wiz. All @700 Paragon, no augments, and LV25 gems. Kind of ridiculous.

51

Just did a 113 with 13 seconds to spare! With horrible maps and monsters. The 112 just before only took 9:41 with great maps that gave most of the progress on the first two levels… but then I had to run all the way to 6th. and last level to spawn a pylon for the boss. On the 113 I didn’t have a pylon for the boss

Have you not previously, and constantly, claimed that my solo records are false because I had help in achieving them?

No, you haven’t. At least not in Season 22, because you admittedly had prior help in group games:

Way back when in Season 13, you scalded me for claiming a solo GR best (86), but called me a liar for having been carried in group GRs higher than that. Now I’m saying the same to you: You are a liar and could not have reached Greater Rift 114 in Season 22 completely solo and without being carried first in group games.

In either case, this back and forth with you is becoming tiresome. So I’ll continue on in Season 22, as before:

Day 08 (2020-11-28)

  • I started out this morning still not having found The Broken Crown. As luck would have it, it was dropped by the gaurdian of the very first Nephalem Rift I completed! NOTE: The effect of The Broken Crown does not seem to apply to Jewels dropped from Bounty Caches (Screenshot006.jpg).
  • Finally also some luck at Kadala. Through sevel attempts, I got ancient versions of Hergbrash’s Binding and Typhons Tarsus.
  • I reforged a “Deathwish” into an Ancient on the first try.
  • Thanks to The Broken Crown equipped into Kanai’s Cube on my gold find gear, I’m finally getting enough jewels to make a difference with the augmentation of my gear.
  • I’m still missing some key Ancient items, but the hunt continues.
  • Pushed through the Greater Rift 95 (Screenshot010.jpg).

My worst so far is 31 seconds to spare, but I had 4 sets of elites spawn practically right on top of each other only a few steps away from the entrance!

No.
Not once have I claimed that you didn’t reach new solo records.
What you claimed was that you played an entire season 100% solo.
That was proved to be false when we showed that you’d played in groups.

What groups? So far, I still haven’t done a single group activity in Season 22. What I said was that if I did do bounties, I’d do them in a split bounty group, i.e. that’s a statement about future intent, not past activity.

This is why, if you bothered to look carefully at all the screenshots I’ve shown, I’ve been including season summary pages, that show the number of bounties that have been completed. You’ll notice that figure hasn’t increased, i.e. not only have I not done any split / group bounties, I haven’t done any more bounties at all. It’s also why the screenshots also include details of my materials tab, so you can see that the number of bounty materials is the same. It’s almost as if I took those in anticipation of you doubting it…

Once again, so far, I have played Season 22 100% solo, albeit using 2 heroes.

Nope.
Your claim was to have played the season 100% solo.
This was proved to be false, i.e. you were called a liar because you had lied.

Again, I have played Season 22 completely, 100% solo so far.

Season 22 Summary, showing number of Bounties completed hasn’t increased…

Season 22 Summary, showing hours played on Crusader…

Season 22 Summary, showing hours played on Barbarian…

Season 22 Records, showing GR clearances. Note the complete lack of 2-man, 3-man and 4-man clearances in these screenshots…

Screenshot of my Stash and Materials tab, showing a complete lack of Bounty materials, as they were used for the 40 cube extractions task of the Season Journey…

Yes, it’s annoying that despite me providing literally hundreds of screenshots of evidence apparently that’s still not enough for you.

Good luck with your target of GR110.

“Lying” is such a strong word. Let’s just say that it was somewhat incorrect information. You did the GR solo but hadn’t played 100% solo all the time but the group play wasn’t of much help in your solo record.
There is also a big difference between doing casual group plays and doing rat runs to gain huge amounts of paragon points and meta groups where you get your gems up to 150…

Just did a 114 in 11:54. At the moment the lowest on the DH leaderboard is 120. I’m not keen on getting that high right now. Getting better gear means having luck or doing lots of tedious solo bounties for reforges.

Added later:

My strategy is usually to wait with the augments until the main gems have been leveled up to a reasonable high level, both because it’ll boost your power and because you might find better gear in the proces of getting your gems high.

55

I 've reached my previous seasonal record which was GR 120. It was first try and had 2 minutes to spare and the map was aweful (3 caves and 2 Vidian’s floors). Still no augments and with low area damage. Perendi spawned as rift guardian which is very slow, albeit deadly if he hits you, so that was ok. If it was a Blighter, it could have cost me another minute or 2-3 more deaths. I 've done GR120 only with Mundunugu S20 and Scythe necro S21 but they were better farmed and with augments. Now i think my goal for this season is to get to GR130.

Season 22, Rank 693 Solo Barb, GR115, Paragon 929, 10.7K STR

Associated screenshots showing character screen (so main stat shown), Stash and Materials tab (so you can see I don’t have any more Bounty materials), Season Summary (so you can see I haven’t run any more Bounties) and Season Records (so you can see I haven’t run any 2-man, 3-man or 4-man GRs)…

Stop changing your story. I had achieved a new solo GR record, and you said I could not claim it as solo, because I had apparently augmented items with gems far higher than possible for my solo GR best.

I was never able to prove that my solo GR best occurred BEFORE joining group games for GR buffs in order to gain higher level legendary gems.

Pretty much pointless, really, considering that it was not done 100% solo, as was the main point of my challenge. To do it 100% solo, without group games of any kind.

But you DO have more than one hero. Or have you forgotten that one of the conditions of the challenge was to do it using only one hero? Who is to say that the actions or your Crusader did not benefit your Barbarian reaching GR115?

I’ve not much to report on my Season 22 progress for Day 09 (2020-11-29), other than I’ve been running bounties gathering materials. And I’ve reached the Paragon 800 milestone.

Every single screenshot I’ve uploaded so far proves I have not grouped up at all in the season. I am still 100% solo so far, i.e. I have not grouped up at all.

This is why there are screenshots of me doing challenge rifts, to show how I obtained bounty materials.

This is why there are screenshots of me doing solo bounties, to show how I obtained bounty materials.

This is why there are regular screenshots of my Stash / Inventory / Materials tab, to show that my Bounty materials are not increasing.

This is why there are regular screenshots of my Season Summary to show that the number of Bounties completed has not increased (for days now).

This is why there are regular screenshots of my Season Records to show that there have been no 2-man, 3-man or 4-man GRs.

Over 300 screenshots so far, all showing completely solo stuff.

Did you miss the fact that I’ve already deleted the Crusader?

Yes, I’m sure you think a Crusader that struggled to do a GR88 was a great help, days after I deleted her, to my Barb getting a GR116.

Anyway…

Season 22, Rank 620 Solo Barb, GR116, Paragon 941, 10.8K STR

Associated screenshots showing character screen (so main stat shown), Stash and Materials tab (so you can see I don’t have any more Bounty materials), Season Summary (so you can see I haven’t run any more Bounties) and Season Records (so you can see I haven’t run any 2-man, 3-man or 4-man GRs)…

Where is the evidence to your claim it was not done 100% solo?

One of the terms is to have only one hero. If you level up an alt (even if you do it solo) you have failed and are disqualified… :weary:
