In Diablo 3 a new speedrun has been set in a Greater Rift in the current Season 22. However, the community is not only excited about this.
What is this new record? The four players “Code” (Demon Hunter), “Sleepyjoe” (Barbarian), “Swaggur” (Crusader) and “Movingman” (Necromancer) completed a Greater Rift Level 150 in Diablo 3 with a time of 2:19 minutes. No one has been that fast before. Thus, they secure Rank 1 in the current Season.
Such speedruns are very popular in Diablo 3.
In this video, you can see how the speedrun went:
How did they achieve that? The four players are really good, as can be seen in the video. But they also had a lot of luck. They got a Greater Rift where they could summon the Guardian very quickly due to a high monster density and thus reach the end.
The Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 are randomly generated. Thus, players look for versions that are particularly effective during the Seasons. This usually takes many hours. Once they find one, they try to master it as quickly as possible to set a record.
Dark clouds hover over the speedrun in Diablo 2
How does the community react to this? The performance of the four Diablo players is recognized by many, because even with a good Rift, it is still a challenge to do it so quickly at Level 150. Nevertheless, it shows that the community is slowly feeling a bit annoyed by the random factor.
- Mateo Diablo writes on Youtube about the video: “Does this even have any significance?”
- Aza says: “Congratulations. You earned this with all the keys you spent for it.”
- iluhju muju explains: “These guys are top players, regardless of Paragon, and they have to spend a lot of time searching for a Rift to enable a time like this.”
What also clouds the victory? The four players from Clan Zero Drama are accused of account sharing and botting. There was even a video two years ago in which a player from the clan was banned live (via YouTube). The clan has since been watched closely by the community. Therefore, there are players who also criticize this new speedrun.
- CriticoolHit writes about the video: “This is a cheat run on shared accounts. Shouldn’t these guys be banned?”
- Arkeon Sanath agrees: “It’s all just botting and account sharing. This is not a challenge!”
What do you think about this speedrun record in Diablo 3? Do you believe it is justified?
In the meantime, the end date of Diablo 3 Season 22 has been announced and a major update is coming.
