[Act 2][Inferno]Champion hunting from CIGGARC

OP now updated with version 1.12 Desolate sands is now less stucky.

 

So what is the general consensus of Act 2 compared to Act 1 for champion farming?

I did a couple of days comparison between the 2 and it seems to me that due to the higher density of elites in Act1 I fill up with 62/63 rares a LOT faster in Act 1. I didn't seem to die at all in Act 2 so I don't think it's a gear/dps issue. Is it really all about luck and getting some level 62 legendaries that make it worth it? I don't think the higher level 63 drop rate for Act 2 offsets the lower density of champs.

 

Act 2 is much better. Your distribution of item levels is much better......meaning out of the rare drops you get more 62 vs 61 and 63 vs 62. This offsets any speed of farming in act 1 in my opinion. Another big difference is level 62 lengendaries. You will not get them in act 1. Last week in act II found Zumi's set ring and Andrariel Visage, along with multitude of other lengendaries. It's much better no question.

 

I agree with Packetloss, I find Act 1 more "elite packed" then Act 2, as well as many good level 62+ items.. Will attempt more Act 2 runs when my DH has more armor.

 

I am still getting a lot of stucks in Oasis (the fifth profile)


I would post a screen grab, but I am usually not around when it happens. I see it in the log though. usually the inactivity timer is triggered.

I was also wondering, other than some pathing, what is the difference between this one and the original gardetto thread?
It doesn't seem to have any randomization as of yet. Please correct me if I am wrong

Didn't try the new version yet so it may be fixed on that one

 

Can't help sorry. Must have at least some hint of a clue as to where to go try to fix it, I ran 1.12 for 4 hours straight last night before releasing it and didn't get 1 stuck ...

The differences are - different filenames, and different pathing. We're working on adding randomised routes to the profile but it's still a week or so off (random paths means selecting from different versions of the same profile when each one is loaded) This release is very similar to Gardettos version aside from desolate sands.

fixed in 1.12 already.

 

you get better legendaries in Act2 and you get better (5 property) crafting plans in Act2. There is a higher density of elites to kill in A1, but it's better to have fewer higher value items than it is to have a stash full of things that sell for 200k (you only get get 10 AH slots per a/c)

Working on the caravan stuck.

the stuck you have found in des sands is fixed in 1.12.

 

I seem to have a problem with this Act 2 profile. Yes I have the needed plugins, the problem I am running into is that the profile when it reaches the last profile of the complete run it will leave game as it should and remake the game and go right back to that spot in this case Kulle and just kill him then leave the game again. Anyone know a reason for this, I removed Kulle and changed the second last profile to leave game instead I'll see if that works. I have ran Act 1 and 3 profiles the exact same way and they do not have this problem. Thanks in advance.

Edit - Expecting this to be asked, yes I start the profile from START this happens when the run makes a new game it did not reset the profile order or how ever it does this.

 

no issues, working great thank you!

 

how dare you answer my question before i got the chance to ask it!
Serious answer: It sounds like you know what you're doing since you say you've ran A1/A3 before. All three sets of profiles use the exact same tags to continue profiles, and RadsProfileManager handles them in an identical fashion.
So, if you're having this issue there are only a couple potential problems.

1. You've recently started using Anti-idle or some other profile manager which is interfering.
2. The bot somehow got stopped and restarted on the Kulle profile
3. Something is wrong with your Demonbuddy installation, or it didn't compile a setting correctly. Try a fresh DB install and install the plugins from scratch. (this is the most likely problem).

 

Answer to your questions -
1. I do not use any other plugins I only have Giles Trinity ( amg amzin kk ) and Rads manager.
2. Specificity watched the bot for this reason it was not stopped at all on any attempt.
3. DB install is 100% fresh from website everytime I do overhaul on plugins and settings.

Also the edit on Kulle removal so for is working for me ( only tested for an hour now ) and if anyone else has this problem removing the Kulle profile and making the profile before Kulle leave game once finished.

Thank you for the fast reply with lots of info, it sure made me double check if I missed anything good luck.

 

It's just a perplexing issue, I'm currently running this profile on my A2 bot and he just killed Kulle and remade the game without any problems.
Another individual posted a similar issue in my FAQ thread (but with A1 profile!) and after going through all the same steps what eventually fixed his problem was restarting his computer.
So, I'm glad you fixed it but I have no idea why what you did worked! (there's no issue with the actual Kulle profile) ;P

 

Yeah not sure why my problem was involved with the Kulle profile but as of right now without Kulle it works for me so that's good enough not a big deal at all, thanks for all the help and info.

 

wowwww, releasing a profile on my birthday !!!!

 

it runs heavenly for me, please keep up the good work

 

just got stuck trying to enter the "ancient waterway"

 

It shouldn't enter the ancient waterway at all.
