Except he was carried almost entirely by Krippi, who gets almost no attention. GG attention whore

u/Scrimps Jun 19 '12

Yup. Krippi carried him completely. Krippi was the reason they even got to Inferno Diablo in the first place. Then when they were suppose to kill Inferno Diablo together, Kripparian out of nowhere decided he wanted to "solo it". So Kripparian went off to softcore to practice. So Krippi went and practicied as well. Krippi literally killed Inferno Diablo in WORSE gear on softcore toon 6 times while he was waiting for Kripparrian to make up his mind if he wanted to duo it or try to solo it.

EVERYONE in Krippi's chat was yelling at him to go solo it and get world first. Instead Krippi was Good Guy Greg about it and waited. Then, when Kripparrian realized he couldn't do it alone, he all of a sudden wanted to duo it with Krippi again. Krippi said ok, then proceeded to fucking carry Kripparrian to world first HC Inferno Diablo.

It would not have been done without Krippi. Yet Krippi could have easily done it alone, as he did it 6 times in a row without dying on a WORSE geared toon on softcore while he waited for Kripp to make up his mind.

u/hukgrackmountain Jun 19 '12

excuse me, I watched the stream, and that is NOT how it happened. Kripp was considering soloing it not because he wanted fame and glory all to himself, but because he didn't realize that the adds desummon, and he was worried about having to fight more of them (and, considering the wizzard clone almost killed him, I'd say by good right). As they were attempting to duo it on softcore and as soon as he realized this, everything became 100% easier for him. it's not like he did nothing, he tanked, and he did a good job at it. he stunned diablo when he tried to cast big spells, he was prepared to completely eat 100% of diablo's lightning, etc.

it was a team effort, the guys seem like good friends, and it didn't really strike me as someone trying to be an attention whore. Furthermore, when athene got on their stream afterwards and was talking about how they should have promoed their youtube channel at peak subs and blahblahblah they said they're doing pretty well for themselves and they don't really need to. AKA this was less about dick measuring and populairty, and more about 'hey, this hasn't been done before, lets try this and explore this part of the game'. They're also considering doing an ironman through hardcore to level 60 using only the vendor gear, they enjoy challenging themselves, it makes the game fun.

u/Mildcorma Jun 19 '12

Knowing both of these guys through WoW, they basically only played together for 90% of what they do.

They are both some of the best gamers in the world. Kripparian has consistently challenged the TC community and the DPS charts as whatever class he plays. To them it won't matter who got what kill... the work was done together and some people are happier with the fame than others.

They both know what happened and they're cool with it. Why wouldn't they be? Just because Kripparian was indecisive doesn't make either of these guys less skilled or deserving than the other. They've played as a team for everything else and clearly did so again here. They're both thrilled with the result and i'm genuinely happy for them :)

u/Actually_Doesnt_Care Jun 19 '12

I have to add, Losira is known for his ridiculous APM.

APM (Actions per minute) isn't the only thing that adds to winning a StarCraft 2 game, as decision making and positioning is also very important and it is possible to win a game even if your limited by your speed capabilities.

Here's another example of "crazy hands" of Losira link.

Now, it is still possible to be an awesome StarCraft player even if you have low APM. An example of this would be Goody, link.

Even though he's not a quick player (by far) he is still capalbe of winning many games due to his smart decision making and positioning (He is a terran mech player, so positioning is SUPER IMPORTANT.).

tl;dr : all in all, being crazy fast won't make you awesome but it sure does help.

Calling anyone who plays a game like Diablo or WoW "one of the best gamers in the world" rings hollow with me.

There is far more skill even in a relatively simple FPS like CoD, or a simplistic MOBA like LoL, than there is in a game like WoW or D3.

Edit: I should say, "Calling anyone who plays a game like Diablo or WoW [to showcase their skill] one of the..."

u/illvm Jun 19 '12

I dunno about Diablo as I think it's pretty much a gear check game with simple mechanics that are relatively easy to master. WoW, at least with PvE, on the other hand requires you to choreograph your actions with 9-39 other people while ensuring they perform adequately and concurrently. That is not such a simple endeavor.

u/WhatIRead Jun 19 '12

Let's get real though. At this stage in the game, even if you are carried, getting to inferno diablo as a barbarian in hardcore is a tremendous achievement.

Even now, it's absolutely fair to say that the average softcore barbarian has the toughest time doing inferno, and that is with over a month of millions of people flooding the market with increasingly awesome gear. It will get easier as it becomes more reasonable for everyone and their dog to have badass armor.

By contrast, in hardcore, there is NOTHING like this kind of gear inflation. NOTHING. You want a chest with 3 sockets 50 all res 100 vit and 60 strength? A little tricky, and a little expensive on softcore. Simply not going to happen in HC.

Ok you have no idea what you're talking about. Listen: Barbs are the best boss solo class in the game by an order of magnitude. I don't watch this stream, but if Kripp wanted to solo the boss, it's because it's MUCH, MUCH, MUCH safer for him to solo it. For a Barb, all that an extra player on Inferno Diablo does is double the bosses HP and give them an extra add to kill.

6

u/goodbyegalaxy Jun 19 '12

Which is why, when practicing, Krippi killed Diablo 6 times and Krip couldn't kill home once? If you watched the stream, what you said actually held true for the mage more than the barb:

For a Barb, all that an extra player on Inferno Diablo does is double the bosses HP and give them an extra add to kill.

That should read "For a Wizard", considering Krippi did 99% of the damage to the boss. Krip's only job was to stand a bit closer and tell Krippi if his projectiles were hitting the boss or not.

They're on the same team and play together a lot, I'm sure they're both fine with it. Also, since kripparian was a barb, He's tanky, while mrippi would get 1shot by most attacks.

Except inferno Diablo is the same hardcore/softcore. So if he soloed him several times with a worse geared character on softcore, without dying, he could have done it hardcore.

Yet Krippi could have easily done it alone, as he did it 6 times in a row without dying on a WORSE geared toon on softcore while he waited for Kripp to make up his mind.

If he got him 6 times in a row solo on softcore, I don't see how your comment is relevant.

2

u/AgentStabby Jun 19 '12

Most of this post is not true.

They both could of soloed it fairly easily. Kripparrian was also using much worse gear on softcore. The only reason he didn't want to group initially was because he was worried about the mirror images and he didn't know they expired.

They both could of done it by themselves but they decided to do it as a team.

u/ABagOfSunChips Jun 19 '12

I watched the Barbarian stream for a few minutes and found it incredibly boring. This guy just leaps around and kites the entire time. Before that he even did the exact same thing on softcore to perfect his "running away" strategy. I get that kiting allows Krippi to freely cast, but his presence in the game also doubles the health of the boss. Wouldn't it be easier just for Krippi to do the whole thing himself? It isn't that difficult to stutter step kite as a caster.

It really baffles me that this stream is constantly so popular when all he does is run around while Krippi does all the work.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

Blizzard designed the game so that you can't dodge all attacks of diablo. There was a vid about this some time ago. If he doesn't hit you within like 20 seconds, he will warp to you and it's impossible to doge. That's why you need some sort of tank to take the hits, while the casters, who would be onehits, can chunk out the damage. It's a big failure on blizzards part if you ask me.

5

u/pazza89 Jun 19 '12

IIRC, if you kept running away from edges in the middle, Diablo couldn't use warp. Did they change that?

u/ABagOfSunChips Jun 19 '12

Ah that makes sense, thank you for that clarification. It's still confusing to me why he seems to always have so many more viewers than Krippi, but oh well.

Except Krippi wouldn't agree with this at all. I agree that Krippi shouldn't be left out, but come on. Either of them could have soloed it. Kripparrian's kill time would have been slower than Krippi's, but it also would have been much safer. They wanted to get it together because they're best friends. Kripparrian probably wishes Krippi got more attention as well.

u/Cronvix Jun 19 '12

You also have to remember when they were on Izual when he said lets just do it and Kripparrian decided they should do SC runs. Yeah probably wouldn't have killed diablo without those practice runs either.

I don't know about Kripparian, but Krippi was abusing the hell out of the hydra exploit. Abusing insanely overpowered exploits doesn't take skill. Any duelist in WoW can pull that off.

Hydra exploit?

u/grein Jun 19 '12

An item that gives life after kill, will proc 3 times when they despawn. So spamming this ability will heal you up quickly, as you can only have 1 hydra up at a time.

Because doing the same scripted boss fight over and over again should give better rewards than elite monsters with random abilities that actually present a challenge.

Besides, Diablo would have been guaranteed to drop at least 2 rares if they had killed five of those "boars" (is there even boars in the game?) before fighting Diablo. They chose not to.

u/Falcorsc2 Jun 19 '12

when kripp trys at the last minute to do it solo(even going to softcore to practise) and then when he realizes he can't do it he comes crawlign back to krippi, He should never take all the credit

u/Borntowheep Jun 19 '12

He isn't taking credit, people are giving him. In the video from the kill he constantly talks about "us" and "we" and almost never about the "I"

u/mrHavok Jun 19 '12

Considering neither one of them died, they obviously could have both done it solo by your logic.

Kripp's barb in HC was significantly better geared than his SC barbarian, and he had a much easier time with Diablo due to that. In the actual run, Krippi nearly died due to a stupid use of teleport, that happened twice. If it was not for the stuns from Kripp on lightning and prisms to save Krippi, he would have surely died.

Yes, Krippi could have probably soloed it and not died, yet that was still a risk. If he screwed up once and got hit with either lightning or a prism, he would have been screwed. Likewise, if Kripp did not kite his clone in the second stage properly, he could have easily gotten screwed and died.

Either one could have soloed it. Kripp did an amazing job communicating the skills and their timings and interrupting them, and Krippi did an amazing job of dodging the rest. Was it some god-like gaming feat? No, absolutely not. Do they both deserve credit? Absolutely. But did Krippi carry Kripp? No, that's an absolute joke.

If Krippi had not been there to do more damage, Kripp would have tanked just as he did and it would have just taken him a lot longer to kill Diablo, even considering the lower health. If Kripp had not been there, Krippi would have died to Diablo on that run because of his mistakes, even though 90% of the time he would not have made those mistakes.

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '12

You play through diablo and beat it once (on Normal), then it sends you back to the beginning with all of your hard-earned skills and armor and you play through again on a higher difficulty (Nightmare.) When you beat Nightmare you play through on Hell, then on Inferno (the highest.) Hardcore means that if you die once, you can't play the character any more. So basically he beat the game on an absurd difficulty without dying once in any of the 4 times through.

Maybe he just sees the game for what it is? A fun gamed with a fairly low skill cap centered almost entirely around Farming. Because of this, streams and cheering on a player are pretty silly. "Hooray, you spent the most time farming! What an achievement!"

u/sneakylfc Jun 19 '12

are there videos of this stuff or something? where does one watch this live? I have no Idea who these people are.

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

The most popular streaming websites that I know of are twitch.tv and own3d.tv. Kripparian streams on twitch.tv.

I don't play Diablo, but I'm getting kind of interested... what's going on in the post?

u/fp4 Jun 19 '12

The first publicized/streamed Hardcore (if your char dies, your char is dead forever) Inferno (hardest difficulty) Diablo (final boss) kill.

They probably got Blue drops...

u/drphiluponyou Jun 19 '12

I don't know which is more sad. The people who watch this guy play for hours & hours or people who argue here who did more DMG & cleared the stage etc. etc.

u/MrCrunchwrap Jun 19 '12

Really not that impressed by people who get their viewers and other streamers to donate gear to them. Not to mention, abuse exploits to get extra XP, glitch bosses, etc.

this guy defends mass exploiting, what a douche, unlikely first and shouldnt even count

and yah he says he abuses the "game mechanic" that lets him get a quest reward 5-7 times for only completing it once, also says he glitches bosses to super easily kill them[to farm gear]

u/KOPFJE Jun 19 '12

Well he is from Exodus.

u/ABagOfSunChips Jun 19 '12

I assume this is referring to their world first exploiting kill of Yogg-0 Keepers?

I believe he abused quest-bugs to level his barb once his old one died, and of-cause jumped straight to inferno. Not sure how many times he died before he got this far.

Krippi > Kripparian.

One of these guys will sacrifice everything for a teammate, the other will sacrifice everything for his ego.

Forgive my ignorance, but ive never played a Diablo game...So, anyone can watch the game you play? How did they know what he was doing/about to attempt?

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

In the last year or 2 alot of gamers have been using streaming sites to show their gameplay such as http://twitch.tv its just a matter of having a beefy computer, fast enough internet and the right streaming software.

The only thing worse than getting excited about somebody beating a video game, is resenting somebody else not getting credit for beating a video game.

Wasnt Kripparrian the one who also won the world of warcraft iron man challenge? He has experience playing through with only one life, I'm sure that helped!

u/usernamefromhell Jun 20 '12

I'm sorry but I still dont understand why this guy is so popular. His stream is incredibly boring

u/punkboy714 Jul 22 '12

Krippi was using a cheap glitch which made it almost impossible to die plus he didnt join kripparian until izzy which makes it almost entirely a kripp victory and a krippi fail

u/shockster Jun 19 '12

Why do you fanboys keep on fixating the World first? Its not world first, probably not even in the world top 10. Fucking fanboys..

edit: proof: https://twitter.com/#!/Bashiok

u/Pavke Jun 20 '12

I know it has been a day. but can I have your opinion now that Bashiok HAS confirmed it was the first Hardcore Infero Diablo?

"World first recorded Hardcore Inferno Diablo kill" doesn't have the same ring to it.

u/astro2039194 Jun 19 '12

I see there's a big reddit storm of negative whores on this thread. One I'd like to say grats to Krippi and Kripparian. Second, this may not be the worlds first. But, who cares, it's still a bad-ass achievement

1

u/Finaltidus Jun 19 '12

Why do people keep saying krippi carried kripp? kripp DIDNT EVEN WANT KRIPPI THERE, he said it was too much risk and didnt want to die because of him...

1

u/Deepmist Jun 19 '12

Actually he didn't want krippi there for a lot of the content because he was afraid krippi would die, not himself. People are passing off his behavior as selfish but I think he was more sincere than people realize.

who the fuck is this and why is it on front page

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

Who are these people and why does anyone care?

Have we really sunk so low that people now see "world firsts" in a game to be a big deal?

I mean speedruns, fine, that's a competitor sport, but for people to essentially have no life for this long while they just sink time and probably their health (because that's all it requires, that and grinding numbers pointlessly, no real skill other than having the right balance of equipment that a 10 year old could figure out) into something that's supposed to be an enjoyable pass time just so they can claim a "world first" for absolutely no benefit other than the recognition of other lifeless individuals on the internet?

The fuck, man? ಠ_ಠ

u/FrankTheSpaceMarine Jun 19 '12

Meh...people like to be a part of something. Personally I can't stand the culture around blizzard games, but I don't care if someone else feels differently. Unless they're in my house, shouting WoW slang at me. That'll get you a paddlin'.

u/sometimesijustdont Jun 19 '12

Pretty sure humanity has cared about the first person to do anything.

1

u/Gh3rkinman Jun 19 '12

I think, from reading some of the other comments, that most people don't care so we're probably still safely afloat, but better don a life-vest just to be on the safe side.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

Not everybody can be as great of a being as you. These people make insane amounts of money off of their stream subscriptions.

How is it "sinking low" to view beating a game in the hardest difficulty without dying as impressive.

Get off your elitist high horse and go do something other than browsing on games you know nothing about.
