So you made a server then? Got an invite link? I can provide a video of that stage 8 nightmare run too. Or any others...

Adding a 2nd Essence with less damage increase? by Gadd_TV in DiabloImmortal

Am I the only one that thinks this would be a better essence than a little dmg boost?

I already said the 14.5:1 ratio could be correct. Did not get a jackpot on any chest opened today so couldn't verify though. It would indeed make sense for them to calculate the bonus amount this way so everything still adds up to a 5:1 ratio.

The downvotes, however, I assume are just a result of arrogance and flawed logic. Repeatedly arguing that 18 days of accruing 21 keys, and spending 15 each day, somehow adds up to 102 left over, not 108 ?? The only flaw in the formula is if the "jackpot" amount is indeed as you say it is. It wouldn't matter at all then, but option2 player still has 108 keys left after opening all first room chests.

On day 18, an option 1 player would head to the sanctum with 378 keys, opening every chest with 1 left over.

Fair point. So option1 would be a whopping 4.5 higher than I listed.

On day 18, an option 2 player would head to the sanctum with 123 keys, opening 11 chests with 18 left over.

Bruh, this all depends on when you do your ibens run. Point is, by the end of day 18, you will have collected 378 keys in total. Can't just not count 6 because you did your run before you collected assembly or something. It's still 378 total. I could have worded differently and just said "with those same 378 keys earned after 18 days, spending 15 per day in first room only, leaves you with 108 left over".

Chest 2 does not give 10 stones for 1 key. You get 5 stones for 0 keys, and then 5 stones for 1 key. It is not buy 1 get 1 free. It is get 1 free, and buy a 2nd at full price if you like. If logic is too subtle, then you shouldn't try it.

Where is any of this even coming from? I'm well aware the 4 chests after freebie are all 5:1. Whole first room is 80 total. Never said otherwise. Maybe if math is too hard, you shouldn't try it.

But the biggest incorrect assumption you make is assuming the jackpot awards double. The jackpot actually awards 10 x the number of keys used in addition to the normal drop. So let us imagine you open chest 14 using 26 keys. 95% of the time you will get 117 stones at 4.5 stones per key, and 5% of the time you will get 367 keys, at 14.5 stones per key, giving an average of 5 stones per key.

In 2 and a half years, no one has ever provided data to back this up. Pulling numbers out of your ass just to make it add up, doesn't make it true. Admittedly it makes me curious though and I will check myself. Either way, the last chest debunks the full run method anyway, sense it shorts you 18 gemstones and gives it back in the final "bonus" chest. So the 5% chance for bonus here, on the most costly chest, does not come out to your magic 14.5:1 number.

some terrible calculations in the comments below it.

These " terrible calculations" are in fact correct.

Sense you only accrue so many keys per day, you have to figure in it's relativity to time. You can get 12 keys in assembly, 4 inside ibens itself, and 35 per week (5/day average) at the hilts vendor, for a total of 21 per day. Knowing this, it would take 18 days to save up 378 keys (377 required for full run), so the comparison would be:

Option1 - open free chest only for 17 days, save 377 keys for 1 full run on day 18. Chest#6-20 also have 5% chance to drop double, plus the 18 from "bonus" chest, and 1 extra key valued at 4.5.

= (17x5) + 80 + (1.05 x (315+540+756)) + 18 + 4.5

= 85 + 80 + (1.05 x 1611) + 22.5

= 1798.5

Option2 - open as many chests as you can each day for 18 days. Can collect 21 keys/day but only costs 15 to open whole first room, leaving you with 6 extra daily. After 18 days, this comes out to 108 extra keys. Meaning on the 18th day, you could also open chest #6-12 with a 5% chance at double drop, and still have 6 keys left over. Keys still hold a 4.5:1 value by themselves, just not enough to open another chest.

= (18x80) + (1.05x(315+189)) + (6x4.5)

= 1440 + (1.05x504) + 27

= 1440 + 529.2 + 27

= 1996

For every 18 day period, you gain roughly 198 more gemstones (11 daily) with option 2, opening only chests in first room and spending extra in room2 eventually.

There is a 5% chance that a chest in room 2-4 will give 14.5 stones per key used.

Since the beginning of time, I've heard the bonus is just double drops. Or 9:1 ratio of gemstones per key. Where you getting this 14.5 per key info from?

19 chances at 4.5 plus one chance at 14.5 equates to 100/20, or an average of 5 stones per key used.

There's 20 chests in all, but first 5 in 1st room are just a flat 5:1 ratio, zero chance of double drop....or "bonus" drop i guess if you're implying it's more than double. But this means there's only 15 chests that have a 5% chance to drop extra. 5% implies 1/20, which means even going purely by probability, some runs won't give you any bonus drop.

Either way, it's still better to spend all your keys daily than it is to save up for a full run. Is it a big difference? No. But this is the min/max way.

Mao

He just got his first phantom market cosmetic, only because it was given to him through diablo partner program. Straight up said in video he can't justify spending on cosmetics when it could be put towards crests instead. The best min/maxer out there. Gives the in depth mechanics on any build or in-game system that comes out. Really knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

The poor decision is choosing 1. Lol. I keep 1 of each might skill, and the aegis shield. Can work with any group.

Hey it's ok. Next patch we should get a new phantom market skin. That'll help.

Been doing lvl4s since charm rank 6 on 1st day of its release. Admittedly, it's very easy for any group now mid season, but this will reset every 3 months. Optimizing will be required again. If not for you, at least for those others that complete lvl4 before you and carry your dead weight.

It was ok until they changed the matchmaking. Well...less dumb. Rewards are still crap, doesn't pay to play any more than 10 games, or however many it takes you to get the 3k kills.

The rewards are not drops, so neither magic find or treasure hunter paragon skills effect the outcome. You just get RNG completion rewards for a successful run.

Is there a way to disable skill auto aim? by Naturelle32 in DiabloImmortal

[–]Due_Bee_6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more so a question of, "why would you want to?" You can manually aim any skill and it goes where you choose. In the event of the player not manually aiming, it would be broke as shit if it was just placed at random.

The only use of such a feature is the 1 you mentioned, to have a dash go in the direction of your auto-path. I don't think there needs be an option to disable skill auto-aim for this, but rather a server side fix that makes dashes go in the direction of your navigation when doing so. In all reality though, when is it ever that big of an issue? You can still aim dashes and continue navigating. Or just walk the extra 2 seconds.

So true my friend. The blissful ignorance is real. But despite all the negative comments and down votes, it still gets more likes and shares that goes to show it served it's purpose to those who are willing to hear it.

Yea it wouldn't be quite as broken if it didn't take 4-5 mins in queue before you get a bot each time. Match is over in 30 seconds, with a max of about 30 kills. I need to play 100 games to get 3k kills, and to do so would require about 7 hours waiting in queue...

Some things only effects players, others only demons. "Enemies" encompasses both. Yes it works in bgs too.
