View Full Version : ""KTA"" SP MP Sign-Up Thread.
Hello there venturer into the SP MP thread.
I am coju, some of my recent exploits include starting this thread, buying a tasty pizza, and holding a job for three years now.:thumbup:
CDM, OMG, and I have decided to start at type of KTA for us SPers. This is the sign-up thread.
So far, we are leaning towards either Pallys or Sorcs. Put in your input on what you want to play and time. That'd be great.
Thank you for your time.

for those who might not know KTA means Kill Them All, meaning single pass, full clears (up for debate), and untwinked. this is of course HC and is stealing the term from the HC forum. unlike them, we'll try to actually beat the game, however :smug:

I could be interested. But I'm afraid your silly american timezones will make it impossible.
I could play depending on time. Either early am or Friday or Sunday nights might work.

For me it would be monday/wednesday after 5 pm GMT. And perhaps sunday - time not very important as long as it's between 1 pm and 23 pm GMT.
We have been playing (GMT-6) 6pm - 9pm monday/wednesday in our idiots mp group. Would be midnight for you, I believe, FoE.
I work nights Sun-Thur at 10pm(GMT-6) so can play until then or in the mornings after 7.
Once we get some confirms we'll work out all the dates. Although, it looks like we have 5 players so far (OMG, coju, CDM, FoE, kegs)

You bunch of unoriginal basta...........still, you got me on the 'beating the game' part!
Love to you all, have fun with it :)
I might be interested in getting in on this... that way you can all laugh when I deeds at Rakanishu :crazyeyes:
for clarification, everyone will be playing the same class? The HCF definition of KTA seems to indicate that is an 'extra' restriction in the current one going on, not a standard thing.
The idea came about that we'd all play the same character and run through the game. Then, it came about doing it untwinked and it was mentioned that the HCF does a KTA.
So, yes, we'd all use the same character. I think a few paladins would be pretty OP. May need a physical damage buffer, but through in a Avenger with Conviction, and (that does -physical res, correct?) we'd still all be good.
OMG thought it would be funny with a hammerdin and the rest just nubs.
I can see them all as being pretty fun. Hopefully we can get together a couple times a week.

OK, so talking GMT -6, I'll have time:
mon/wed: 10 am - 7 pm. It can't get much later than 7, as I usually work pretty early the next days.
sunday: 7 am - 7 pm.
If this could work, it would be awesome..
Also palas would be funny. Sorcs too. I'm mostly in for sorcs, but palas will definitely work too.
Alright. I'm game for any of those days. Times work for me also.
I'm game for pally or sorc. Sorc's would utterly decimate I do believe.

i can do (GMT -6) 5pm-11pm M-F. Sa/Su i can do pretty much any time within reason (till soccer season starts for my son). honestly, weekends would be better for this IMO.
i vote pally since i have the build in mind i want to use (cleric). anything works, though, i've been getting over my dislike of sorcs recently.
I hate converting time zones :p
I'd be fine with either sorc or pally, both would be ownage I think.

yeah, took me far too long to realize that coju had his times in same time zone i actually live in. then i had to double check.

This sounds like a fun endeavour, however this would essentially be my first experience with Hardcore and single player multiplayer so it would probably be an utter disaster. If you don't mind those simple fact I wouldn't mind joining in on this if you were to play on Sunday evenings. I work on EST so only a two hour difference from most of you but of course if you don't want my inexperience slowing you down I won't be offended and wish you guys the best of luck.

Welcome pyro! And of course you're welcome - that way I can always blame you when I deed...... :loving: Nope, I'm sure you'll do fine.
I vote weekends, and especially sunday then. But definitely no later that 7 PM (GMT-6) as I'm in GMT+1 - I would also very much appreciate if it could be done earlier. Perhaps 1-4 pm or the like?
Edit: also just started a sorc with kitteh, so pallies is great :)
Awesome! Sunday and Pally's work great for me. I'd say two-games, if we want an extra 30 minutes or hour we could do it.
Start this Sunday? (Wait, when is the Super Bowl? Feb?) 4-6pm CST (GMT-6). That way, if we want to go another hour, we can play til 7.
@pyro: All will be good! Starting an MP experience like this would be a great way to get into it imo. It looks like we have at least 5 playing.
Right now, I'm going to say 1.13c FAM (RWM). Any 'game rules' y'all want to ensure? IE: No mercs / only act 1,3,5 mercs.
I'd say round-robin rules for greens/uniques.
I'll have to convert that to make sure it works for me.
I only have 1.13d right now. maybe I could get a trenshadow for c but I don't know if they made one.
crawlingdeadman
13-01-2012, 00:12
i vote we all finally upgrade to 1.13d
Of course you do cdm... Of course you do...
If we all want d, I'll host in d.
FredOfErik
13-01-2012, 12:17
I have no problem upgrading to d.
round robin?
Time is doable for me, but I would still very much appreciate it if it can be done an hour or two earlier?
What are people doing for builds? I have really never done anything but a zealot and don't know of a lot of other options. I would like to try a charger or smiter, but I don't know how helpful it would be. Please tell me your opinion on this as I don't know anything about the subject :)
If not, I'd probably do a schock zealot.

If were considering pushing it back, maybe we could do early morning instead maybe like first thing for you GMT people around 7 0r 8 in the morning or would that be too early? The closer to the middle of the day it gets the less likely I'll be around unfortunately.
Also, we'll probably end up having more zealers than not.
Builds:
Smiter
Charger
Zealer
- Fanatic
- Frost
- Shock
- Fire
Avenger
Hammerdin
Templar/FOH
Martyr (Sacrifice, not used commonly)
Rangadin (Bow)

For me it's the earlier, the better.
O...apparently Gmt -6 is just 1 hour later than my time :p
so I can do (gmt-6) 6:30am - 9:30 am or 9pm - 11pm
I like avengers, which I would say we must have either an avenger or a FoHer. I would be happy to make either one actually. I don't like zealots personally.
Are we going to allow a Hdin? massively OP of course, but I'm fine either way.
edit: looking back over the posts a bit that time may not work, I won't be offended if ut doesn't work out, as I know I'm not very flexible.
What may not work? The times?
I'm game for whenever on Sundays. Early is good for me. We have a couple already voting for early morning, so let us go with that.
Y'all conjure up some good times for yourself, just please make sure it is posted GMT-6 for easy reference.
GMT -6: 6:30 am - 10:00 am works for me. I could also be convinced to get up earlier if that is necessary.
FredOfErik
13-01-2012, 15:10
anything early for me :)
well, if it was going to start this weekend I suppose I'm out... I may try to catch up later, though.
I had actually been thinking about a FoH pally, just to see how many HBs shoot off when fully synergized.:nod:
FredOfErik
13-01-2012, 19:19
Should be easy enough for you to catch up - you'd have a whole week :)
crawlingdeadman
13-01-2012, 20:50
someone set a time, i'll try to make it there by either waking up early or staying up late. i may be distracted by NFL playoffs and die if we do it in the afternoon.
here's a table, edit in what should be there:
Forumite Build Level Character Name Last Seen
cdm cleric 01 KenzoTenma A1, Q1, N
coju 01 A1, Q1, N
omg 01 A1, Q1, N
FredOfErik 01 A1, Q1, N
kestegs 01 A1, Q1, N
zemaj 01 A1, Q1, N
Pyro 01 A1, Q1, N
depending on what everyone else wants to play, i may change what i make. we should have someone to cover res auras and i'd be willing to do that. support character in-other-words.
edit: we're going to 1.13d for this too is that correct? i assumed RWM too, but just wanted everyone to be on the same page.
rules so far:
-untwinked
-pallys
-RWM
-HC
-1.13d
-full clears at least through normal?
anything else?
Forumite Build Level Character Name Last Seen
cdm cleric 01 KenzoTenma A1, Q1, N
coju 01 A1, Q1, N
omg 01 A1, Q1, N
FredOfErik 01 A1, Q1, N
kestegs Avenger 01 VisforVendetta A1, Q1, N
zemaj 01 A1, Q1, N
Pyro 01 A1, Q1, N
Those rules seem fine to me. I'll be happy to run a vengeance aura, unless someone else wants to, might as well as I'll be right up next to the baddies anyways. I may even consider going 2 handed at least through Norm and NM if it makes sense. Insight would make a nice stick to beat down with.
I'm excited for this, it's been ages since I've done a MP playthrough!
Would thorns help any? Or is it useless?
Wow, seven players... Looks like it's the new computer for me!
what about a merc restriction of some sort ?
if we do a merc restriction, we should all have act5 barbs! :nod:
also, should add a section in the table for main aura, just so there is no confusion.

So are we starting tomorrow? or next week? I'm up for tomorrow.
And yes, full clears will probably be necessary a lot of the way.
I'm all in for act 5 mercs aswell. Maybe combined with act 1 rogues?
And what do we do about HFs? do them seperately or together?
Tomorrow, yes.
Zemaj, you're going to, Ketchup, correct? (SQUISH!)

Yes, and Yes. 7am (so early) Sunday. End by 10am.
rules so far:
-untwinked
-pallys
-RWM

-1.13d
-full clears at least in normal
(I would really rather do all dungeons instead instead of full area clears.)

Am I right my patch will automatically update when I join a d game?
No, it will not automatically update. You need to log on to Bnet to do that.
Pally's didn't fare very well for us so I wish you guys the best of luck. We had a Charger (me) with Salvation and Meditation, Bow Pala with Holy Shock/Freeze, a Holybolt with Cleansing build, your standard Zealer with Fanaticism, a FoH-Holybolt-Convictioner and a Vengeance Pally. The run had chequered attendance and the thread I looked back on had very little information to provide to give you a heads up but from what I do remember is we were very squishy! Damage-wise, even untwinked, we kicked some ***, but the wrong mods on a bosspack and we were in trouble!
Thanks for the info mrkaxe. I'm surprised pallys didn't do well. Was it just overall lack of interest?
FredOfErik
14-01-2012, 16:07
Anyway to update other than log on to bnet? I've had som trouble with that before.
Should find the patch on the blizzard site as well.

Hey guys I'm still in for this but have yet to decide on a build, I really like the idea of a charger but I feel it would be a poor first hardcore choice. Imm going to have to read the single player multiplayer guide thing before tomorrow now and get rwm installed.
Actually you don't really have to worry so much about rwm. I think just the host needs it.
Charger/smite combo might work, or charge/FoH maybe? Charge is fun but it's a bit tricky to use sometimes.

Ok, other question, what is ther dirty dan rivers build I must be out of the loop. Also since were doing act 1 and 5 mercs only I think it would be beneficial to have holy freeze somewhere in the party to make it a little easier.
I just made that up. Also don't know what build to build.
Yeah, a Holy Freeze would be a good one. Form what I remember from the thread, one person is doing a defensive build/cleric. I suppose he'll take care of the resist auras as well? If that's the case, the rest of us would more than likely be offensive builds. There are 3 direct physical damage auras, and 1 indirect, so that could possibly be 4 people, holy freeze and shock, 6, then the defensive, makes 7.
That's just what's in my mind. We can use w/e, just as long as we have dif auras active, ya'know?

i hope to be awake and refreshing this page when someone says the time we're gonna start (if not, i'll catch up). also, who can host? i cannot.
Start in about twenty minutes. I'll post IP when game up
Yay!
For future reference I can always host if need be.
Oh cool! Glad to hear. Anyhow...
2n,njkn
up in a few minutes.
the problem in the run was the lack of defensive capability and with 8 paladins the lack of proper gear for all, since at least a few need the same stuff. i remember what killed most of our druids, what deeded my zon and only dying with my fohdin, but donīt remember to what.
also what i experienced in the kta runs is, that with so many people i rend to act more careless than i would if i was on my own. a coordinated retreat is hard to come by.
good luck and avenge our run!!
We will avenge.
True about playing more carelessly with more people. maybe a coordinated "kljl;k" should mean retreat?
Yeah, all of us using the same type of equipment will eventually be a problem I'm sure, but I reckon it'll work out.
