Just one day after former StarCraft 2 and Dota pro Rob2628 became the world’s first Diablo 4 player to reach level 100 on normal difficulty Can_ won the hardcore crown for being the first to complete this mission in Merciless Permanent Death Mode.
Death in Diablo 4 is usually no big deal. Equipment loses some durability (which can be repaired at the local blacksmith), but it usually lasts. But it’s clear life doesn’t last in hardcore mode. If you die, you stay dead and have to start over. So caution is very important, although not always enough. As many players have learned (no doubt to their great frustration), once you glitch, you’re done.
As a result, progression to level 100, the maximum level in Diablo 4, is slower than in standard mode. After all, you can’t just get to the top. But it’s not that late after all. And there was an unexpected winner. Less than 24 hours later, Ashava’s solo killer Wudijo took the lead at level 87, with streamer ben_ behind him at level 85.
However, according to the Twitch tracker, D4race.comboth left in the dust by cArn_ and his ‘team’, who thanked him for supporting his efforts: Zizarn, Steelmage, and Nugiyen all right behind him on the leaderboard. I’m in.
This victory means that cArn_’s name will be engraved on Blizzard’s statue of Lilith. As required by the rules, he has already submitted an application to Diablo 4’s official Twitter account and has been acknowledged by Adam Fletcher, Diablo’s Director of Global Community Development.
And here is the big moment:
Diablo 4 is new, but cArn__ is approaching it with valuable experience in the genre. His Twitch page states that he currently mainly plays the action RPG Path of Exile. [competitive] Gauntlets and other events occur. ” This is an undeniably impressive feat, and one that I personally would never consider trying. I don’t have the patience to pay attention for long periods of time.
If you want to play Diablo 4 the cArn_ way, he recently shared a video explaining his powerful Rend Thorns Barbarian build. It seems to work pretty well.
