Hello everyone !

For some time now, I have been only playing hardcore, solo, untwinked, linear (no coming back to previous places to xp or find items) and trying to beat Baal in hell difficulty with the lowest possible xp (best is level 61, which requires a lot of rushing through crowded places, and being able to survive and kill with 20+ levels less than your foes, and that's where all the fun is :)).

We are several players following these rules, gathered in a "contest" (mostly a place where we chat and report our stories) on a french forum.

This way of playing is, in our opinion, one of the most intense and thrilling, so I keep looking everywhere on the internet for similar communities.

I have been able to find some untwinked things, sometimes even solo, but rarely linear, and never aimed at the lowest xp.

Would you know about such communities/contest on this forum (or any other else ?)

Thank you !

not sure if you've browsed amazon basin yet, but their community has always been focused on untwinked play, so many of their threads and guides are geared towards that in mind (in relation to the gear they suggest, techniques, etc.)

google the amazon basin and it should be the first result on the page :)

I had already had a quick glance in the amazon basin, and found nothing.

I checked again and posted the same as here, just to be sure...

Thanks anyway !

my favorite story of untwinked play was the 8 man team that did the entire game with all characters completely naked.

And be beat by that crazy bugger who did Ubers solo naked?

they did those too. i dunno, 8 man team means tougher monsters.

Sure that 8 man team was fun and all, but from the vids it seemed like they were just chillin' through the game with all the auras and boosts. it cant match the pure mechanical skill required for a fast speed run or a solo untwinked run
