have you seen the old SN thread on the Nekid Solo Hard Mode Fury runs? I was never good enough to compete, but it was fun to try and amusing to watch! It's a darn shame all the screenshots are gone because the graphics were hilarious. The also had Lactri and fury SPEED runs in there somewhere I believe... Ah, those were the days. MS needs to release DS into the public domain. We could probably release LOH and Mageworld specific versions then and spark a big revival...  |

Killed Lactri in.. 25 secs?  Congrats! Eh, that's 2 minutes, 51 seconds. It was hard enough to get below 3 minutes, so I doubt I can do it under 30 seconds without hacking the map-file to add a new starting point. (Which would be a violation of the EULA.) have you seen the old SN thread on the Nekid Solo Hard Mode Fury runs? I was never good enough to compete, but it was fun to try and amusing to watch! It's a darn shame all the screenshots are gone because the graphics were hilarious. I agree. I never was good enough to try it either. Though I might give it a try sometime, after I get a few more levels. Does anyone still know the rules ? Was it "do it without any form of equipment (inc rings and ammy's), but you are allowed to pick up whatever the trolls drop along the way" ? Hmm, perhaps I should actually go over to that forum and check the rules fore asking... Yep, the last post with a time on that thread was mine, followed by BL001 saying it would be a challenge for him to beat my time. Haven't heard about anyone trying to beat my time ever since. So either no one could, or no one tried, or no one let me know they did it. So I broke my own time and posted it here, in the hopes someone would run across it and (try to) best me. Yeah... Ooh, sounds like a plan... Where do I sign your petition ? |

Oops.. misread that. ;D
My first try at Lactri was 4:19. Not even close.. How do you take a screenshot?

My first try at Lactri was 4:19. Not even close.. It's not a bad time, though. Do keep in mind, as far as I can tell, I'm the only person who managed to get below 3 minutes. To quote the last time mentioned on SN (which was incidentally my best time back then), in a post of BL001 : Prior to that the record was at 3:51, by BL001 : So your time is only 28 seconds longer than the best time of the people who were doing this a lot back at SN, before I ruined it for them.  There's a key (on your keyboard) labeled "PrintScreen" or "PrtSc", which you should run across if you look at the row of keys going from [F1] to [F12], and follow that row to the right some more. Normally, the next three keys you see are [Print Screen], [Scroll Lock] and [Pause], but that may vary on the type of keyboard you are using. Just hit that key in game, and you should get a message indicating you have taken a screenshot. If you as some later point in time go to your savegames folder, but instead of opening the folder "Save" you open "Screen Shots". This folder should contain images of each time you pressed the PrintScreen button in the game. (If you don't know where your savegames are, and thus cannot find the ScreenShots folder, they are in your "My Documents" folder, under the "Dungeon Siege" subfolder.) |

Yes, the competition is going again. As Liantedan pointed out I somewhat gave away my (and his) strategy in the pics.. oh well.. Maybe one of us gets below two minutes, I think it might be possible.. |

I'll toss in a makebelieve $10,000 to the winner and all who participate can hit the pub in Tir Malani.

Xaa, I've been wondering for some time now..
Is a Hyperborean using Swiftness of the Dead faster than another character using it, or not?
