I'm korean, You are a true winner. I received a lot of help while playing Diablo4 because of you. thanks and always be happy

[@Goyr]

Well done as always! Followed you since season 4 of D3 and it's a pleasure to see how much you have grown, both in popularity and how comfortable you now feel on camera compared to back then :)

[@Garbager]

Grateful for all your hard work and dedication! Thanks for being a pillar of this community.

[@GaricSnow]

The best Diablo content creator, hands down. Keep up the great work!

[@kevinkeck6083]

So glad i found you. Youre streams are just so chill and the gameplay is just amazing. Youre definetly gonna be my go to streamer for now. You deserve the success. Theres a reason why there were 70k people watching you instead of any other streamer who participated in the race. You got what it takes and you worked really hard. Im pretty sure you know that yourself but it still had to be said.

[@rh4709]

That's awesome! You still got a ways to go to beat my score, best of luck!

[@Crustle1]

Great to hear the journey and the amount of preparation that went into it....congrats!

[@MrKrampyHands]

Congrats man that’s awesome I’m lvl 53 atm just beat the game yesterday and have been farming whispers for legendary heart and aspects I got all legendary great note fully upgraded with gems slotted it’s pretty op for my world tier now it’s time for the cathedral of light I hope I blow through it

[@caiqueocraque]

I really like you are not one of those over the top scream all the time content creators, i think i'm too old for that now lol. I love how chill and focused you are, good luck dude we will be around to watch you too

[@Klod91]

Im only 2 minutes into the video, but I love how you explain what it took to get there. We often look at sucessful people and assume their achievements were a given. Luck, talent etc. Here is a guy putting hundredst of hours into this before the game is even out. It is an important reminder that if you want to achieve something, you need to be ready to do "what it takes" to get there.

[@nicmyers3456]

Damn. Respect for all that preparation for the race.

[@PCDisciple]

wudi the dex class KING. been watching you on and off since OG D3 days, great to see you succeeding!

[@Blinkch]

I'll always remember that one time, where the challenge rift was your non set GR 40 with that weird strafe demon hunter build. Thank you for that haha

[@themetal6216]

you were world 1st in my opinion. keep up the great work dude.

[@otakukazu3419]

Yup your the guy I need to follow. I only play one class in these types of games so why not learn from the best. Thank you for your insight.

[@IVANGUARDI]

This guy is so humble and inspiring in his "realness". Well done and rip to the OG king rogue in diablo 4

[@Shadowsmoke11]

Is Rogue not the best class anymore?

[@IVANGUARDI]

@@Shadowsmoke11 why would you think that? It was barb and rogue top 2 and still is despite the nerfs.

[@HardyDimension]

I am really happy for you to have such a nice and supportive fiancée. A lot of girl friend, fiancée or wife also don't really like their guy to spend time with games and not accompany them. However, I saw that she is really support you for doing this.👍❤❤😉

[@michaelbrown192]

You definitely should upload the entire progression (they way bawk did it), I would gladly watch it. Since it's even under 100 hours.

[@hampusgranstrom6267]

The man, the myth, the legend!

[@teeatch1]

You are the real winner! :D Alkaizer is a beast.

[@vest0levs]

Bulgaria has the best internet in the world. I confirm. I live in Bulgaria, too.

[@munionr]

I would really like to see clears of both of your capstone dungeons. I had a surprisingly difficult time with the first one at lvl 42 softcore.

[@Mediumdoo]

Been watching you for years , amazing how far you’ve come!

[@monkeytown1239]

i was there too! and ur stream did BLOW up, oh boy. gz on the run and ur gf / wife seems very lovely - always amazing when ur partner takes a liking to ur hobbys :)

[@KujieSama]

Or just had them herself in the first place ;P

[@relentlessnights4211]

Loved hearing the details and background of your journey. It was amazing live and I enjoyed this vid very much.

[@so1212ow]

Bro your story is kinda intense and very interesting. I just wanted to give a huge mention to your women, she's stuck with you through all of the ups and downs, and you are one lucky man to have someone stay with you and support you to do what you love. I really hope you figure out different ways to create content around the games besides gameplay so that you can level up to the next tier lol. Good luck my brother, and thank you for all the content. Wish I could play more, but being an adult 😪 is a bit distracting.

[@KujieSama]

Thank you for your kind words! It's really easy to support someone when you share the same passions in life and who is also an amazing human being, wishing you the best

[@michaelbrown192]

Did you stream the entire playthrough to level 100, can one watch it somewhere? Would be super interesting...

[@_PR3D470R_]

Awesome achievement man, congrats again! keep delivering top tier awesome content! 💯🤘🤘

[@vibrasphere00]

Hey Wudi, good job man! Glad you had so much fun doing this 🤗 Im super impressed with this dedication, and i hope you keep it up, so plebs like me can keep learning 🤣

[@dreadedronin24]

Do you have these streams archived anywhere?

[@URSoDead2Me]

Happy for you bro. I didn't know of you until you did this race, but I'm glad I found ya. You got a sub and a like, look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Congrats on everything! 💪

[@Hudathan]

So happy for you! 🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@dirtboxk1ng]

Where can we see the gr 45 or woo moment video or stream?

[@georgiatanasov9801]

Thumbs up from Bulgaria :) Hope you like it here

[@pencilcheck]

Is there any tips to get the accelerating aspect faster? Or is there a way to get it?

[@Wyrsk]

Thanks for the content, you're a pilar of the community !

[@vest0levs]

Necromancer gets quite fast when you get speed on boots and amulet, so never say never... It was never a mobility class, though. In the end-game necromancer becomes quite tanky. One could even go only melee with two-handed scythe without any problems.

[@rharugu]

Well done, Wudijo!

[@Kryptonic83]

That was great, thanks for sharing your journey.

[@IvanGOrtolan]

I totally get the moving for better internet but actually doing it.. :D Was not expecting so much preparation for this feat.

[@Superawesomegeekshow]

Congratulations!

[@kultigin1409]

You playin in video death trap or twisting blade built ?

[@bighammer3464]

And Rod Fergusson was saying how is playing early an advantage.

[@FatalisReigns]

this was very insightful! just hit 73 on my HC sorc (after losing my 43 Rogue day 2 :c) and man, this is getting so slow to level solo lol so i think its way more impressive doing it solo, well done!

[@alexbarcan4705]

Great job MR Wudijo. Also great story. I'm sure you'll win by miles if the play field would be equal for all. Congratz on your accomplishments.

[@capitatv]

BRAVO wudi thank you for the videos and the builds!

[@Edermongamings]

Love your streams! Can't wait for more!

[@ksmoorthy87]

This is a professional right here .

[@burpinbubs2112]

The most wholesome streamer ever. Much love to you and yours, wudi

[@ChineseQueen]

Congrats!

[@fimekdo]

Wudi, you are amazing! As a gamer and a personality

[@502opz346]

every one who had access to full game mode before pre-launch, tested enough to make sure what kind a build and items he should take to blast thru and be one of the first to level to 100 ! Like almost every one of u, now are godlikes and u making video after video ! Which is logical, do to early access to the game !

[@casbot71]

Just that you were able to avoid a _death by server fail_ is an achievement in itself.

[@flip_shifty]

3:40 Props for being honest haha

[@DKSprocket]

Seriously, you should consider uploading the entire 1 to 100 run to KZbin, perhaps on a second 'VOD' channel. Maybe look at how someone like Cohh does that. Twitch will be deleting the VOD in 2 months and something like that really deserves to be preserved. If you split it into 30 or 60 minute chunks you'd have a ton of videos and even if each only gets 5-10k views that's still quite a bit of extra well deserved income for you.

[@MuffyCakeMan]

Was he in a party or solo? If in a party is doesn't count

[@flx_btw]

Can anyone tell me what build he is using?

[@turtlepowerftw3524]

You brought up the xp meta at the end and I totally agree. I feel like alot of the people that raced are now bored because they’re level 100 and just ran the same dungeons over and over with their groups and now are mad that content is boring. I’m level 70 and I’ve been underleveled for stuff alot and just using every part of the game to level and get xp and I’m having the most fun I’ve had in a game in years

[@macsdf1]

He just says that cause he lost the race. Trying to make excuses. Also being solo he couldn't reset the best exp dungeon over and over. If he could, he would have too. IF he was so great he would be grinding nightmare dungeons to 100, not farming lvl 50 dungeons

[@VVoude]

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 clown

[@ki11em59]

​@@macsdf1 He did grind nightmare dungeons? What are you even talking about

[@zero_wing_]

@@macsdf1 you're goofy

[@oreoyo5639]

@@macsdf1 You hella goofy. He got to lvl 100 hc first solo which is way more impressive than grouping champion demise.

[@PurGePose]

kinda crazy how long you've been in the game. the most profound memory i have is still s17 bc that's when a few of my friends got into D3 and when they needed a DH guide I just send them over to your channel. You had also just released a Rank 1 clear with a build nobody was clearing leaderboards with (don't remember which one). Then maxroll rolled around and I got that tab favorited ever since

[@halloweenjack569]

Great story, congrats!

[@shoohk]

Gotta ask: do you even enjoy the story/watch the cutscenes? Or it’s just a race to get whatever it is you’re trying to get

[@0xNobody]

We have 1gbp connections here with 1-4 ping in Greece what are you talking about? How much better is it at Bulgaria?

[@KujieSama]

We don't have them everywhere as you know very well. The suburb in Athens we were living in, will probably be among the last to get coverage :/

[@0xNobody]

@@KujieSama where were you located?

[@Pl4sm0]

I'm sure Netflix will contact Wudijo to make a limited series

[@kissrings]

Absolutely admirable. Sincerely happy for you after I heard about all the hard work that went into this. You deserve all the success coming your way. Congrats

[@opbaum]

You are a real grinder

[@Zeddicus1976]

Impressive. 👍👍. I can't imagine doing this, not in a hundred years. How do you resolve connection problems ? I died more (in normal mode) thanks to latency than any other reason. It's something completely out of my control. I'm impressed people can do hardcore with this unpredictable factor.

[@DadbodGOD-]

You did a lot to get world first and big congrats! I would also like to know who got first 100 that didnt get the early access and heads up on the game. Kinda puts an * next to the achievement. Not your fault. Blizzard gave it to you but there is someone out there who truely started the game without the additional time and needs to be recognized.

[@jalexander6885]

Carn

[@Kianwan]

Story time with Wudijo

[@JaViiToF1]

When equip secondary trap?

[@gentle_singularity]

Once you hit 50 you can start building around 2 traps. Before that I would go the typical TB build or Flurry because you can tank more things easily.

[@aohjii]

@@gentle_singularity Penetrating shot for me pre-50 has actually been busted, better than furry and TB

[@TheFuzzyBear328]

do you think ben_ would have beaten you without gloves disable and WW nerfs?

[@wudijo]

he's one of the biggest ARPG badasses out there but for launch I don't think it made a difference (he also leveled in grp btw), if he plays future seasons he surely can

[@KeaneKamina]

Nice. Aa someone who doesn't stream, has other life goals, and also is a fan of Diablo. I did everything you did (to the non streamer extent) and unless I die, I'll be hitting 100HC today. Having to plan around everything else in life has been wild but I'm getting it done. I know I can't complete the game as fast as someone who has the opportunity to spend more time in game but I'm having fun and I'm glad you did as well. Cheers Also im a rogue. It does suck when ppl put others in this real low tier player just bc they dont stream.

[@MerrStudio]

23:10 that was actually a pointless risk, as far as I know the most advantage you can get is 25% more exp for monsters 3 levels above you at it is capped at that, so running anything that is 4 levels or higher is not worth it

[@wudijo]

it still goes up slightly

[@MerrStudio]

@@wudijo yeah you're right, I wrote this comment before learning about base exp

[@sirmalof3255]

I though people that played the review version of the game were not eligible to the hardcore race?

[@macsdf1]

they arent' eligble for name on statue. There's no official prize for first to 100, it's just a thing in all games where u race to be first.

[@Monster-gr8on]

Season 1 is around the corner

[@xpotion7686]

Congrats on the great run. I wish the world/dungeon stopped scaling at 80 and maybe the pvp zones at 90 so people would have to engage the other content on the way to 100

[@Exenzy]

good job

[@PliptaEredar]

[@yandan9499]

Didn't know you live in Bulgaria, are you in Sofia? That's awesome, Bulgarian here, level 70 rogue too 😆

[@KujieSama]

We live in Varna for now :)

[@Rimotrian]

"All the press release did was confirm I was on the right track." Yeah, it didn't allow you to do the full campaign, see all the mob affixes and abilities, test your builds and strengths / weaknesses, basically learn how to survive and when to push the next tier, etc in Hardcore. I think if you were going into it completely blind and fresh like the majority of the other people playing, it would have been a much harder journey. But congrats nonetheless.

[@MrKrisMK]

How you get those legandary items? At lvl 44 you have all of your items legendary. I am lvl 44 and have 2 :D

[@uppercutman]

keep grinding they drop a lot

[@MrKrisMK]

Can you recommend good areas at this lvl?

[@uppercutman]

@@MrKrisMK legendary items have the same drop rate everywhere. But in world tier 3 you get sacred legendary and in world tier 4 you get ancestral legendary. You can farm high density elite dungeons like champions demise or you can do nightmare dungeons or world bosses. All of those have a high drop rate of legendary items.

[@burns0100]

@@MrKrisMK Dungeons due to mod density are good. As well as finding events in dungeons and the final boss. The more you kill the more chances you have at a drop.

[@strsys5671]

Im not trying to downplay this achievment but I just dont understand what is going on here. If there was any competition everyone should have same conditions, I guess this game is based on knowledge like any other Diablo game so I think no one who had access to the game before others should ever claim being the first or even compete. This feels so wierd to me but maybe Im the only one idk

[@baldheadbenson3060]

I dont respect group leveling, so you are definitely the First in my books.

[@stewie_]

I don't know about the other teams or streamers but I really enjoyed that you didn't abused something in the game and just played the game in all the modes and just got to 100 by actually blasting.
