Hardcore Diablo Inferno Stream

[pandalishus]

This dude's on Izual, trying to down Diablo before 1.0.3 hits this AM. I've enjoyed watching his stream. pretty mellow, and definitely knows his stuff. If you're bored, or need something in the top corner to fill the background noise, try it out:

EDIT: He's at Diablo now, but is gonna practice it on softcore for an hour or two. Looks like he'll be making his HC attempt at 3a CST.

Posting a link to the Blizzard Forums post here so I can check to see if he did it in the AM (looking at his softcore attempts, he will).

He did it!

I caught a lot of their practice attempts and the second half of the real kill on break at work. Surprisingly entertaining to watch.

Pretty awesome how detailed and deliberate these guys play, and happy for them that they were able to get it done. Really, really impressive play--and it shows that it's about more than gear the way they plotted out their tactics and got it done. So cool to think that hours and hours of effort were all put on the line in that final 20 minutes. I dunno what to say, just... wow.

Kripparrian was apparently running at just 7k so he could stack about 80k HP. The wizard (Krippi) cut the kill time WAY down. If he hadn't been along, Kripp would not have beaten the reset. He said he could have soloed but that it would have taken "much, much longer" (I'm betting 2-3 hours).

PS Bashiok confirmed they were the world first kill (and world only before 1.0.3 difficulty nerf).

PPS Diablo didn't drop a single rare. So lame.
