Jealous of both you. Australia seems fun and different. Some day I hope to visit.

@Undertaker I'm in the US (EST) - I usually play pretty late on weeknights, and all sorts of hours on weekends, so I might be around. I know @eastdragon42 is in Taiwan so you guys might play the same hours, too.

Erm... I might be mistaken on this. But as far as I know public games can't have monster power. And no monster power == no keys. So you will never get the key attempting it public. @Khan dude... that is by far the best ring I have ever seen. VERY nice. I still haven't made one with 2 dmg stats on. |

Yes, I'm originally from the US (EST) as well--Chattanooga, TN, to be exact. But now in Taipei, Taiwan. & will be visiting Australia for Christmas & New Years! :) But what Bort says is correct--can't have Monster Power on public games, which means you shouldn't be able to get keys very easily (I think there's only a default 5% chance of getting a key drop on normal Inferno / MP0, & then it goes up to 10% for MP1, 20% for MP2, etc.) But yah, feel free to add me: eastdragon #1557 @Khan: Very nice Hellfire ring. Too bad they're account bound--would be perfect for my DH! :) Can't wait to finally get my first ring (someday)... |

Special thanks to @Sabin, @shniggies (@euggie), @airrich for helping me go on an MP8 uber run just now to complete all the pieces for my first Hellfire ring! Especially @shniggies for the 2 million gold donation so I could get the plan & actually make the ring (only had 590,000 gold on me). Awesome run guys! :)

That's not accurate @Bort You have to have 5 NV stacks. MP is not needed but the chances on MP0 are 5 % so you can get a key in public games. I had this happen 2 times on act 1 (1 on US and 1 on EU servers) hehe Edit: Should read till the end of topic :0 @eastdragon42 clarified almost 3 hours before |

@euggie, @zerokewl, @sabin: Here it is..... :-)
 Nice dex, good first Hellfire ring for farming experience... ;-) Apologies for the delay... in a hotel in the southern port city of Kaohsiung & just finished a long day of dragon boat races. Am happy this hotel has free Internet access too, otherwise a screenshot would've been delayed til the following evening... ;) |

Yup, dragon boat races! Here's a short video about the dragon boat team I'm on, Team MAX, that was made in 2010, if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuamVcU_eTk&feature=plcp (Apologies, the gentleman who did the video only put in Chinese & Japanese subtitles, no English ones...but it should give you a general idea about the sport, the training, & team spirit, I believe...) :-) |

Yup, I'm in that video. & yah, the training is intense & the competitions are quite cool! :-) Highly recommend trying it out if there's a team in your area! I've got a number of videos of my team competing in dragon boat races on my YouTube channel too, if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/eastdragon42 And an article I wrote for a magazine, Taiwan Review, in June of this year on dragon boat racing in Taipei: http://taiwanreview.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=163458&CtNode=1337&mp=1 |

@euggie Didn't you not get a key from the KW? That makes yet another MP8 run where RNG refuses to give you a key...
