Diablo 3 Demon Hunter Any% NG Former World Record Speedrun

[@Garfm]

March 2021: I got a new PB for Any% NG DH of 1:50:22! Watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJPHo3SHrK9_ptE Anyone that is interested in running themselves or is just curious a full list of D3 speedrun categories, rules, and leaderboards can be found at www.speedrun.com/d3_ros

I hadn't thought about it but you don't really need to kill anything because of the level scaling. Interesting.

[@llVIU]

they made diablo 3 very friendly to noobs

[@tezza48]

Accessible is another way of putting it.

[@llVIU]

@@tezza48 accessible meant that it didn't crash and lag every hour, or it didn't need an internet connection to play or a half decent computer or if it was free unlike heroes of might and magic 3 for example but ok.

Rapid Fire is the most useless spell at end game and season game on Dh is best Ninja then Tower build then Multi

[@The_JustJoshing]

I have some thing that doesn’t use hatred for the rapid fire. The hatred meter just goes down a little bit when I activate it but from there it doesn’t use the meter. I have no clue what it’s called

[@WaterisjustWet]

I wonder if killing Malthael in Torment 3, within 10 secs (Phase cutscene included), is also some kind of record.

[@vamp1310]

*Runs past warrior* *saves him?*

[@KirkWilson86]

I just want to know... how much time have you put into playing and learning this game, to the point where you've got every second memorized? Me personally, I can't seem to play any game longer than 30 minutes at a time because I just get bored or uninterested. Awesome video though bro! Thanks

[@Garfm]

I have over 3,900 hours played on Diablo 3, but a lot of that was spent on playing end game and not on in the campaign.

[@shadowbanned2596]

I wanna see all processes turbo hud would make that so easy. It doesn’t look like he is using it. Never go the wrong direction because the fog of war reveal is bigger than the minimap.

[@Garfm]

I don't use turbohud. If you want to watch my current PB is done with a hand cam that shows my monitor kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJPHo3SHrK9_ptE I also have dozens of other runs with this setup and all of my hundreds of hours of attempts have all been live streamed.

[@lordofcinder784]

I hated the spider part. Lucky I played this game a lot when I was younger so I got the hell out fast

[@Jacod2333]

Out of curiosity what difficulty do most runners play on. Or does it not really matter

[@Garfm]

The rules state that you can play on any difficulty. Therefore all runners I know of play on normal because it is the fastest.

[@kenshiros5273]

Gj bro

[@flamingmonkey0281]

why did you change the difficulty to torment and then get back in the game and bring it back down ti normal

[@Garfm]

For more XP on the quest hand in.

[@flamingmonkey0281]

that sounds broken

[@skeltronhansjamekhan2810]

[@skeltronhansjamekhan2810]

at 20:00 to 30:00 What is that that your using? is there a gun in diablo 3 or is that just a skill?

[@Garfm]

It is an ability called rapid fire. As far as I am aware there are no guns in the Diablo Universe certainly none you can equip in the games.

[@threel2545]

A skill.

[@cairoterres]

I dind't play Diablo 3, but how you don't lose any health and you kill everything so fast without leveling up? is the game that broken?

[@Zeeb1993]

Monsters are same level as you. They level up with you. Normal is the easiest difficulty and just faceroll.

[@Garfm]

For Diablo 3 Speedruns you can play on any difficulty. Therefor we play on normal which gives less XP but I am still leveling up during the run I finish the run at level 22. The game scales in difficulty as you level so as long as I continue to find items I will stay on par with damage and toughness. If I stopped equipping new items I would become very squishy and deal very little damage very quickly. The game has normal, hard, expert master and torment 1 through torment 13 difficulty so outside of speedrunning players can choose the difficulty they want and get more XP and drops the higher the difficulty they pick but for speedrunning our goal is to get to and kill Malthael as fast as possible so we play on normal.

[@cairoterres]

Well, I'm on par with speedrun.com rules, when I saw Diablo 2 speedruns, they had to lvlup a bit, but seems like Diablo 3 monsters spawn at the same lvl as you, but I still, think that even for normal difficulty the bosses die too quick.

[@skeltronhansjamekhan2810]

I played Diablo 2 and I was still a beginner (STill A begginer Dont play diablo 2 much) and I find it pretty hard to grind just to defeat bosses

[@WorgenatorWoW]

isnt it based on rng whether you make it or not?

[@Garfm]

If you want an answer you're going to have to define what you are referring to when you say "it". There is a lot of RNG in this speedrun.

[@WorgenatorWoW]

@@Garfm Long time since I've played diablo, so im unsure about this. But arent some dungeons random, meaning that you have to be lucky with where the right path is in order to break a record?

[@Garfm]

Yes I needed good RNG to break the previous world record and anyone trying to beat this record will also need good RNG. There are a lot of random maps in Diablo 3. I also mentioned this in the video description: "A lot of amazing RNG."

[@ayoubehamadi5469]

[@sirjimby7107]

You should go for AGDQ

[@Garfm]

I have in the past and they did not accept my run. I did not submit for summer 2018 because I'll be moving around the time the event happens.

[@mainiomooses8174]

Why didn't they accept? :l

[@Garfm]

EDIT: You will most likely never see Diablo 3 on PC at a GDQ because the game is online only unless GDQ changes their stance on online only speedruns. Console has offline mode but I have no intentions of running on console. However my original response is still relevant and even if there was an offline mode I'd have a tough time getting my speedrun accepted. ORIGINAL: They don't give a reason for denying runs because they get thousands of submissions and only have time for I'm guessing 100-300 runs. From their website they say, "The overall goal is to craft a schedule with the most broad appeal for viewers and ability to draw support for the charity." So I imagine many runs are picked mostly based mass appeal and entertainment value so they likely consider how popular the game is, how popular the runner is, if the runner is entertaining, if the speedrun is entertaining, how big the speedrunning community for that specific game is, how competitive is the speedrun for the game and stuff like that. Probably our best bet for getting Diablo 3 into Games Done Quick is to have it included in a Diablo block where all 3 games are run back to back because Diablo 3 alone is not very popular but the franchise itself is very popular.

Show creation of character 5. Start timer on first click/action in game and ends when you talk to Tyrael. 6. Play on any difficulty you want 7. Run invalidated if another person join the game. 8.

[@ИлкоГеоргиев-й6т]

How ur doing that much of a dmg ? I ve played diablo2 for alot of years and basically if u go through the levels like that at some point u will be very weak as being low level to proceed any further ...

[@Garfm]

Diablo 3's difficulty scales with your character's level.

[@joakimlund9788]

what does Ng Mean

[@Garfm]

It stands for "New Game" which in any speedrunning game means starting the game fresh without previous progress. This is opposed to NG+ (New Game Plus) where you are allowed to speedrun using previously obtained gear/stats/level/progress ect from previous play throughs of the game. Here are the Diablo 3 rules for NG: 1. No using stash/artisans/vendors 2. Only use items that drop on the ground 3. No paragon points are allowed to be assigned 4. Show creation of character 5. Start timer on first click/action in game and ends when you talk to Tyrael. 6. Play on any difficulty you want 7. Run invalidated if another person join the game. 8. No use of Infernal Pauldrons 9. Timed via RTA 10.The use of turboHUD is NOT allowed and here are the rules for NG+: 1. Start timer on first click/action in game and ends when you talk to Tyrael. 2.

It was an easy game....I was a casual player when it first came out and I beat it in a week. I'm the type that takes forever when they play RPG's too because I like to collect every item I can and spend forever grinding to level up. Still took a week...so I really hope you mean that you just never had enough interest to finish it.

[@Dawnarow]

forrrrr how boring it was? LMAO. Blizzurd "IS LISTENING" LMAO They're trying to make us laugh to death.

[@NekuKodoku]

what is your motivation for this?

[@Garfm]

My motivation was to beat Jehuda's 1:51:05. I also wanted WR for all NG classes and eventually all NG+ classes but then Viper came along and now I am content with having the WR for the "fun" NG classes. The NG classes I find fun are Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, and Necromancer, because of their movement abilities. Wizard and Witch Doctor NG runs are mostly walking and I find them extremely boring.

[@NekuKodoku]

@@Garfm ok cool, because your video got recommended and i never heard about speedrunning the base game. but i totally get what you mean about wizard and witchdoctor xD maybe ill try too, im bored of seasons

[@Garfm]

Almost every single video game (except mobile games and visual novels) has speedruns of it. Just search on www.speedrun.com and you'll find almost any video game you can think of.

[@wesleybruyninckx6725]

I never get that fast in Diablo. i play On Xbox one

[@Jonas-pz8nq]

bro i finished that shit in 3 days

[@epicmusicproductions5332]

Wtf does "any%" even mean?

[@Garfm]

Getting to the end of the game by playing "any percentage" of it. For most speedrunning games this category means completing the game as fast as possible by any means necessary including skipping side quests/bosses and/or using glitches that allow the runner to skip large chunks of the game. This would be in contrast to another category used in many other speedrunning games "100%" runs (Diablo 3 does not have this category). The specific rules vary from game to game but 100% runs usually includes killing all bosses/completing all the stages and/or collecting all major objectives or items.

[@epicmusicproductions5332]

Thank you

[@jorgetoledomartin1802]

Pointless, unnecesary. Edited

[@Garfm]

You are incorrect. Here is my reply to his question literally two comments above yours: "Getting to the end of the game by playing "any percentage" of it. For most speedrunning games this category means completing the game as fast as possible by any means necessary including skipping side quests/bosses and/or using glitches that allow the runner to skip large chunks of the game. This would be in contrast to another category used in many other speedrunning games "100%" runs (Diablo 3 does not have this category). The specific rules vary from game to game but 100% runs usually includes killing all bosses/completing all the stages and/or collecting all major objectives or items." and to address what you said about starting the game with levels skills and items from other characters this video is of a "New Game" (NG) Speedrun where I start at level 1 and can only use items that drop during the run, so I am not sure where you got that idea from either. You can find the rules for this run at www.speedrun.com/d3_ros#Any_NG .

[@Ahch_not_op_of_Judah]

Diablo 2 makes this game look like Fortnite to me now 🤣.I didn’t know any better because I played Diablo 3 first.

[@llVIU]

I will assume that all the dislikes are from the people who hate that this guy did not abuse glitches to skip 90% of the game? Oh I'm sorry, ''glitches are not cheats'' because you said so. Okay. Sorry but speedrunning diablo 3 on normal just isn't impressive, it's quite easy actually. Monsters scale, infinite revives, objectives pinged... just plain easy.

[@Garfm]

If it is easy what's stopping you from beating my time?

[@llVIU]

@@Garfm maybe because I don't want to or don't care that much? and I don't care about impressing you or other people

[@Garfm]

I suppose it's easier for you to just spew shit at others than it is to back up your words with actions.

[@llVIU]

@@Garfm so you're saying that finishing diablo 3 on normal in 2 hours is very hard. No, not GR 150 or anything, just the bare minimum difficulty, on a game where monster levels are scaled everywhere to character level, unlike diablo 2 (go compare speedrun boss fights there to your easy fights) and if I don't personally do a speedrun of diablo 3, these arguments are invalid. So by your logics, nobody on the planet is allowed to criticize movies unless the critic is a renown film director. Simply because you got super thin skin and when I just said this speedrun is not impressive, and it's just easy. Sheesh, was this diablo 3 speedrun really the epitome of your achievements? You really took this personally. When in fact I was talking about the game being easy to finish. Which was the intention of the developers in the first place, especially on normal difficulty. Maybe you should play other games to gain a better perspective.

[@Garfm]

The game is mechanically easy, but that doesn't mean getting under 2 hours is easy. Good critics of anything including film critics to use your example do research or have a deep understanding of the topic and can give solid arguments to back up their claims. Now you claim "speedrunning Diablo 3 is quite easy actually" and you give some true facts about the game, but everyone is doing the speedrun under these same conditions and under those conditions getting this time is not easy. I guess if you count any play through that is done in one sitting as a speedrun then I would agree it is easy, but many games that you would likely claim are "difficult" speedruns can also just as easily be beaten in one sitting including Diablo 2. I responded because I like to see if people will actually respond when I call them out and how they respond. Trust me I ignore a lot shitty comments all the time. Also you are now claiming you were "talking about the game being easy to finish" but you said "speedrunning the game is easy" and those are two different things. I don't keep a list of each and every game I have ever played, but if I were to guess I've probably played 200-300 different games on PC and console. Here are some of the ones I've played more extensively. Don't worry the list I am about to put below is a copy paste from one of my twitch panels I didn't personally write it out just for you. Runescape: 4-5 years Warcraft III: on and off over 3-5 years DotA: on and off over 2-3 years Battlefield 2142: on and off over 2-3 years Call of Duty Black Ops and MW3 (PS3): 2 years Starcraft 2: on and off from release to 2015 DotA 2: 1 year League of Legends: 3 years Diablo 3 (Vanilla): 1 year Hearthstone: On and Off since release Diablo 3 RoS: Release to Current Overwatch: Release to Feb 2018 Path of Exile: Fall 2016 to Current Dead by Daylight: On and off shortly after release to Dec 2017 Fortnite BR: On and off since the BR mode was made Free to Play. osu!: joined in Feb 2014.
