Please note that all my suggestion is base on the version of the game 1 month ago. Yes you can solo MP10 UBER bosses as wizard. You need to use the critical mass build to infinitely freeze bosses. There are plenty of instructions about this build online so you can just google it. The gear you needed for Wizard soloing MP10 is more (maybe much more) expensive than that you needed as a Barbarian. You can also solo MP10 UBER bosses as Demon Hunter and Monk. I do not know whether you can do it as Witch Doctor.

It is here http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/hoojee-1363/hero/4154464 I have not played this game for almost a month because I already achieved everything including soloing all MP10 UBER bosses. I am not going to play until the next major patch. The gear costes me about 1.5 billion gold under the price system 2 months ago. If you want to get similar gear nowadays it should be much cheaper.

As survivor: (1). If you want to heal someone or to be healed, stay on some ledge, like on some table, chair, rock, anything, just do not stay on the ground. By doing this you make chargers and spitters hard to attack you. Also if you are performing some action that requires standing still for a while, try find some closed place to do it to reduce the risk of being targeted. (2) Heal early! Heal yourself or someone who is yellow, do not stay yellow or red. You only need 8 points to buy a med kit and you get 4 points refund if you use it on someone else. But if someone get incapped, it will be 15 points to buy up and will give infected tons of points by just focusing on the vulnerable incapped one if you do not buy up. I see lots of times people just move with yellow or red status even when passing choke points, that is quite bad. (3) If you have to pick up someone in a quite dangerous area, buy an adrenalin shot. Adrenalin shot is also useful on many other situation like passing choke points. It is an item underestimated by many people. (4) Buy bile jar to blind the tank as long as it spawns. The earlier you blind it, the lesser damage it will cause. (5) When you see the tank, immediately leave any hittable cars. If you cannot move far away from cars, get some cover. Even a tiny pole can block the flying car. (which is quite unreal though) (6) When you are climbing a stair, keep distance from each other and do not follow the leader, as you an be crashed by a charger, sometimes to death. As Infected: (1) If you have points to buy a tank in a advantageous area (area with cars or at choke point), do not buy it until you can spawn normally, which means you can choose your spawn location so you can give the survivor biggest surprise. Make sure you spawn at the same time when you buy a tank so the survivor have little or no time to response. The first strike of the tank is the decisive one against an experienced survivor team. If you cannot incapp a few with your first strike, you will find that they are much harder to hit after they are aware of your presence. (2) As hunter, watch for charger, as you can easily pounce someone knocked down by a charger after the charger is killed. (3) If several survivors are swarmed in a narrow area, then a boomer and spitter can incapp them all because they will be out of control of their character after they are impacted by the boomer explosion and cannot move out of the spit. This is also why when you are survivor, you do not want to stay in narrow area. General tips: move fast with anticipation, expect what will happen next, watch pro players and learn from them ( I learned a lot from general), get used to the terrains of each map.

Yes you are seeing it right, it is 1000k dps on my Barbarian, no IAS shrines, with Templar as follower. Full buffed and with 100% damage WOTB though. If you need farm keys in high MP, or need advice about how to choose gear, add me as a friend and I will help you once I have time:)

Headshotting regular infected can give.. 1 or 2 points, if youre using pistols thats another... what is 2 or 5 or something? you earn up to 20 or 35 just outside the safe room. Also Awp is best for racking up the points, as most of your shoots will be head shots or instant kills. You can also get points by healing others, helping them,saving them. High PPM = Team Player. You also gotta account for when a round last 20minutes, but I think that could average out the people with 10~20ppm who are average players, but get in games were their team has a long round. THen theres those with 30+, where THEY in any of those long rounds, if they're werent in those long rounds we'd probably see 80ppm vs 30ppm. Lol, join a game, at the end of each round, watch the game statistics, divide the points earned by point farmer by the minutes the game lasted, do it a lot of times, and remake your conclusion. Or think it in another way: suppose on infected side, all the people are noobs and new players who only have 10 PPM according to rankings, then in a very short 5~6 minute game (games last this short are quite rare), we will still see about 10 tanks. Does that happen in real? Lol. It is always easier to make wild guess than to collect data from the game yourself. An approximate formula is, for every player, real PPM=(PPM in ranking)/3.

What I want to mention is that the PPM are clearly bugged. In reality if you earn 10 points per minute then you are a very good player; if you earn 15 points per minute than you are exceptional and that may only happen very rarely. But in the rankings we see more than half of people has more than 20 PPM. There is clearly something wrong. In the correct statistics, most people should have a PPM around 5-8 with a very few (like general and nerdy) at 10. As for PPM above 15, that will only happen to exceptional players under very special situations (like, the other team makes many stupid mistakes) and cannot be maintained for long.

If lookback just had warned me instead of kicked me after I started votekick, whether explain to me why he thought the guy was not griefing and that you cannot votekick when an admin is online or not, nothing would have happened, I would have accepted the warn that without any problem and been careful not to votekick again when an admin was online in future. If lookback had explicitly told me the conversation is over, no more talks since you cannot argue with admins in game when I asked him why he kicked me, and said nothing else, I would have been unhappy but it is quite possible that nothing more would have happened, I would have accepted that. But he recalled the votescramble thing which happened 1 day ago and is totally unrelated to the on-going issue and called it crap to explain why he had kicked me, implying (and stated clearly later in his posts) that I used this random votescramble to gain advantage which I never intended to do and is impossible by probability theory. Thus showed disrespect and contempt to me. So who created drama first? It is his behavior that incited my fury and caused the escalation.

Ah, so you knew it was glitched, then? I know if several people call votecramble together, then sometimes the game will autoscramble. And I think it is a good thing and an intentional change by developers. The old scramble system requires more than 50% of the total players to vote yes for scramble. Many people in winning team will vote for no since they want to keep their advantage even if the game indeed needs a scramble. On the other hand, players in losing team may be not aware of such a vote and may accidentally voted no or other thing. For example, if they happen to switch to secondary weapon (press 2) or grenade (press 3) when the vote pops up, they will vote for no or nothing by accident. So the voting often ends up with a no even when a scramble is indeed needed. And people in losing team will tend to rage quit in this case. This happens quite a lot with all voting old scramble system. And for now, if several people call scramble together, it will autoscramble, although sometimes it still starts a vote and sometimes nothing happens. This is actually much better than the previous all voting system. If several people call scramble together, then it is very likely that the game does need a scramble. No one will start a votescramble for nothing if the team is well balanced. Scramble cannot bring any benefit to them if the team is balanced, since reshuffle is random. In fact this system works quite well and balance the game better than the previous system (of course, when crap admin like lookback is not online). This new votescramble system is an important improvement to ensure the game will be played in a relatively balanced way when no admin is online. It is only a glitch if one vote from one person can make the team reshuffle, which according to lookback may happen if votescramble is started before everybody joins in. This should not happen, since some griefer may use this glitch to constantly scramble the team and interrupt the normal gameplay (I call it griefer because unlike stacking teams, this behavior cannot bring any benefit to the person himself). And I have been paying attention to not trigger this possible glitch by only votescramble after everyone logs in. As for you lookback, let me tell you that I never played afk and join strategy, because if I want to stack I just directly join the stronger team, which never happens again since I talked with chick, and sometimes I join the weaker team to help them. Your absurd accusation of votescramble is my alternative to play afk and join stacking strategy only shows how ignorant you are to assume I can stack teams with such a random thing. The players are more happy without your admining. You do not know the art of management which is creating as less issues as possible and making things run smoothly itself with least admin involvement. For example, if you just told me the conversation is over when I asked why you kick me, instead of recalling the votescramble thing which happened 1 day ago and calling it crap, I would not have been so furious. When you banned me, we had about 16 players online at midnight, and both sides were having a happy game save the guy hiding in toilet. And after you banned me, people just leave and the server is empty. You caused more trouble than you solved. You think the new votescramble which actually makes the game more balanced than ever and benefited the weaker side a lot of times these days an "exploit". Your admining brings more harm to this server than benefits. If I were you I will resign as admin immediately.

I may have some evidence that can be of use here: Seems like you're proud of the teams scrambling. Generally we want a votescramble to involve voting at some point... that's kind of the whole point. What do you mean by I am proud of the teams scrambling? I was a little proud of what I did last map. And we did not scramble at the beginning of 2nd map. We started scramble until we wiped very early on 2nd map and several of us died near the starting saferoom. I will never be proud of or be shame of scramble, it is just a tool. And for voting, yes it autoscrambled, and it has been like this for several weeks as long as several people started scramble, and not many people are angry with it. And in lookback's logic, I want to exploit the votescramble so I can stack with the winning team ("it has been your alternative to playing the 'Hoojee AFK' switch teams game.") It looks like he is sure I will auto join the stronger team if scramble passed. He might need to re-learn the basic knowledge that the scramble is completely stochastic (it might not be reshuffled by player PPM, but from every evidence it is random).

" I see you learn nothing from our conversation", Sorry, you are not in a position to teach and I am not in a position to learn from you. You are not qualified to give me a conversation to learn from. And for the conversation last night, you are right on one thing, it is total a waste of time and total crap, in which you create more crap trying to cover the previous admin crap you produced in server. You told me the conversation was over in server? You just told me I can post my opinion on forums, a hint to end the conversation which I did not notice since I was full of fury by your insult, and never explicitly said it was over. You know what infuriated me? It is your speech that I deliberately used the glitch of votescramble. My argument has been stated quite clear in my original post and what is your reply? It is just accusation and wild guess on motives without any evidence. And you directly insult me by calling my honest behavior crap. Let me tell you then, your admin skill and style as a whole is absolute crap and you are a crap admin.

He insulted me by calling my attempt to votescramble crap.

Tonight when I was playing hard rain first map as survivor, we had a player who was sitting in the toilet near start point and not moving with the team, with lookback being the infected side. Then I started votekick and all of my teammates voted yes. Then lookback vetoed the votekick and kicked me out of server without warning. When I rejoined server I asked him why he kicked me, he said the guy sitting in toilet is a new player and I did not communicate with him before I votekick. I argued that any new player should know he need to move forward and stay with the team instead of sitting in a toilet and stay still. Lookback then recalled that I have abused the glitches of votescramble at least three times and called my attempt to votescramble "crap". And then he suggested that I can post my opinion on forum now, hinting (but not explicitly stating) the conversion was over. I was quite furious (it is related to the votescramble thing, you will see below) by that time so I kept saying "I guess you just get annoyed at me because I always high pounce you". Then it is a 1 day ban (later he shortened it to 15 min). The reason is "admin abuse" as if I was an admin and abused my admin power. The votescramble thing is, several weeks ago I started a votescramble and lookback warned me that the votescramble is glitched. According to him, the glitch is that, if you type "!votescramble" at the beginning of a game before everybody logs in, the votescramble will auto pass even if only 1 person calls scramble. I do not know whether it is real, but since then I have paid attention and only try to votescramble after everyone has logged in. And yesterday, I think in Dead Center 2nd map, our team wiped while we only made 1/3 of the map. So at the beginning of their survivor turn, when I saw 20 players online, and three people already started votescramble, including one person in the opposite team, I also called votescramble. It passed, then lookback scolded me and threatened me " we will have problems if you do that again", while completely ignoring the other three guys who started votescramble before me. His another reason not to scramble is that he thought the teams were even because we were leading by 1 point in first map. But in fact our team completely messed up and their team did much better, the only reason they wipe is because I farmed 40+ points on lookback and bought a tank and wiped them before they were all equipped with T2 weapons (The previous map was hotel roof, Dead Center 1st map, you know it, both team wiped in middle of the map); and their mains traveled a little less miles than ours. And taking into account that we only made 1/3 of the 2nd map, and several guys died near the starting saferoom, I did not think it is improper to scramble, and I was not abusing the votescramble since I waited until everybody logged in, and was 4th to call scramble. So, I was confused and angry, but not so stimulated so I just forgot it and let things going on. And today after argued with me on the issue of votekicking, he recalled that and called my behavior "crap". I do not know whether or nor crap is allowed to use in this server, but I do not think people will be happy being called crap. When I votescramble I do see the need to call it, and I never intentionally use the glitch. In fact I do not even see the evidence of the existence of that glitch. But after lookback warned me several weeks ago I never start votescramble before everybody logs in server in fear of triggering that glitch. Given this, I do not think my attempt to votescramble deserves to be called "crap". Back to the votekick issue, lookback argued the guy sitting in toilet is just terribly bad and new in this game and tries to hide in a small quarter to avoid horde. Not to mention that there was no horde at that time when he was sitting still in small toilet and the others of our team was way ahead, we as his teammates thinks he is griefing and intentionally staying still. I do not votekick for skill. There are a lot of bad players in this server, they just kept getting incapped, always lagging behind, chasing smokers backward, going shopping, etc; no one votekick them, because at least they know they should move forward with the team. And that guy, he was not moving at all but sitting in a small toilet. I see no evidence he was trying to play this game. Even if he is truly just very bad, he was making the game not be able to be continued for rest of us. He was breaking the game. That is why I started votekick. So lookback thought the guy was just bad and did not deserve to be votekicked. Fine, even, as his teammates, we have different opinions, lookback is admin and if he thinks that way he will veto the kick which he did. And he said there is a rule that common user cannot votekick when there is an admin online. I am not aware of the rule but since he says there is one then there must be one. He told me he already informed me about that rule which I honestly cannot remember when he did. But why he just kicked me directly? Why he did not just warn me before kick me? Ok since there is a rule about this, the kick is justified. But why he recalled the votescramble thing when I asked him the reason why I was kicked and called my votescramble "crap"? I totally did not get that. I do not want to raise issues. I have been treated unfairly by admins in the past several times including the votescramble thing yesterday and I just let it go. But lookback is challenging my limits today. I am not demanding anything, I am just listing all the facts here and telling you why I feel very bad on this issue, and wish to see how you think about it.

First of all, thank Jackie very much for making this second server and its plugins. Below are my impressions and suggestions after my try out tonight: 1. Surivor Class choice: The idea of survivor class is interesting. But I think current class design and allocation is problematic. a. Civilian: This class is so weak compared to other classes. Their only class skill, which is using grenades, is unreliable due to the fact that whether or not and where you can find throwables are random. Yet this class, with a skill that depends on nature, and only equipped with submarine guns, are for now the most common class in terms of number. And I have to say that it is very boring and frustrating to be banned from using tier 2 weapons. My suggestion is that either remove this class completely (which I think is best) or add more powerful class abilities to it. b. Medic: I believe that medic is the most important class in this system. It is good to limit the recovering resources of survivors but I think current rules are too strict on survivors. They simply do not have enough resource to sustain the team unless the infected side are completely clueless. I think the 1 min CD on med kit is fine but it may be better to increase the number of medic to 2 per team. And, a M16 is too strong a weapon for a healing class. I think medic should be restricted to submarine guns only like the civilian class. c. Sniper: the current sniper skill is not so practical: if you spot and hit an infected normally it will die very fast so the glowing is useless; on the other hand if you do not kill it instantly the duration of glowing is too short. Maybe the skill can be changed to this: as long as you aim to a special infected, the infected will glow, instead of hitting it with bullets. Or, let the sniper be the only class to be able to use laser sight, or make this class be able to spawn laser sights for the team. d. Support and assault: no comment since I did not get the chance to play them but I think they are fine. Overall team composition: I believe that for a 10 player game, there should be 2 medics, 1 sniper, 1 support, and rest assault. Assault should start with T1 weapons and upgrade them to T2 en-route of the map. And if a important class dies, like medic, support or sniper, the rest of players should be able to pick up the dead survivor's role There should be a ranking system like the one running in ordinary server. And at the start of the round, high ranked survivors have the priority to choose desired class first. 2. I have to point out that this gameplay system might encourage some 'irregular' tactics. For example, since the med kit now has a 1 min cool down, a survivor team with many injured players may would like to find a good place to hold and defend themselves against infected relatively comfortably (there are a few such places in every map) while waiting for cool down of their med kit and defib, fully healed, then start again. The counter measure is simple: put a limit on maximum ammo piles and med kits that a team can spawn in a single mission so the survivor cannot hold in one place infinitely. Also, I believe with current game play system, rushing and intentionally leaving hard to save teammates behind is a far more better strategy than ordinary grinding for survivors in the sense of getting high score (we did not test rushing tonight so I cannot confirm this). So it is quite possible that the game becomes a need for speed contest with both side rushing as survivors. Admins need to come up with something to deal with it if that does happens. 3. I think current game play is too hard for survivors even if they are all seasoned and skilled players. And we have to keep in mind that a lot of people who plays in ordinary server do not have such good skills. So what will happen if they play as survivor and are completely owned by infected? I guess most of them will rage quit. Or, if a good player play with a team with key roles assumed by new players, he will much more likely to rage quit than he will do in ordinary server. So I think this server is only fun if both sides are very good players and the difference of the teams are little. This confines the popularity of the new server. 4. It will be better if like the ordinary server, there is more information provided to both sides. Like, as infected I want to see how much damage I caused to my target; as survivors I want to see how many infected I have killed and how many survivors are left, which survivor has been defibbed and who has respawned, etc. 5. There might be a reward and ranking system. You get points while you play, and earn your rank based on your accumulated points. High ranked players choose class first at the beginning of the round. 6. It seems that there is no human controlled tank spawn event in this system. It will be more interesting if there is one.
