The First (?) to Complete Normal Difficulty?

Posted 15 May 2012 by Flux

Rumors have been flying about various players on the Asian realm who supposedly beat the game the fastest, but the only concrete evidence I’ve seen yet, in the form of a screenshot (which could easily be ‘shopped) is seen below. It’s a Barbarian who supposedly beat normal in 12:29. Source.

Has anyone done it more quickly? Pics or it didn’t happen.

  • If they resolve some major issues with connection and lost achievements I might be able to finish normal some time. Too bad Bliizard, the game is great but your battle.net sucks big time.
     

  • When it comes to defeating Normal… At this point in time, I say \Bull****\… I’ve been playing since the beginning… Got in at midnight… LUCKY ****ER, YES, BUT PLAY TILL END, NO! At this point in time, maybe halfway through A3 with 4 people running… Farthest I could get to was finishing A2… But… A4 will be finished before I wake up, guarenteed.

    And about the Asian side finishing the game… **** the asian side… I live on the asian side and couldn’t play till the American release… **** that doesn’t count…

    1:00pm where I’m making this comment… Central time…
    Even though I live in Japan at 3am.
     

  • This is nothing. Some guys on stream  were on hell in like 14-15 hours.

  • I had 12:20 on the game clock after being halfway through nm act 1, so yes I did it faster. Was not trying for a record though, listened to some npcs tell me stories too, so… Can take a pic if needed, though I believe some people did it A LOT FASTER, if they tried to get a record.

  • That 12 hours better mean he finished Normal and Nightmare, because if it’s for Normal only that’s not even close to impressive. I’ve been watching 2 separate streams with players that finished Normal and Nightmare in about 12 hours. both teams are now on Act 2 hell and I very much doubt those are the fastest rushers.

  • Not HC, so it doesn’t count. :wink:

  • Why rush through game? Is it really enjoyable that way? ….
     

  • 11:59 with demon hunter. but we have not been very fast. mit baba.
    2nd act boss is the lamest fight i have ever seen. almost ruining the game.
    and the story blows i think, but i am not telling … 

  • I found a legendary belt after around 3-4 hours after NA servers went up. I’m happy with that…

    I spent nearly 12 hours to reach midend act 2 after before servers went down…
    Glad to know act2 boss is lame (my barb is dying a lot). Acts 3 -4 are long or small?

  • Strange MF-Behavior ruining the game, 4 players, already at the end of act4 and still no good stuff, no legendarys… wtf? impossible to kill diablo in nm
