). Knowing how exponentially the time required went up, I could only ever marvel at the mid-90s people. I just played the other day for the first time in like 3 months. Some paladin who was lvl 93 back then is lvl 95 now. I'm not judging, I just can't imagine why someone would do it. Anyone have insight?
The highest I ever got to,
legitimately and
manually (and mostly alone, rarely doing eight players Baal runs) since patch 1.10 was released was Level 96 (Barbarian), and that took me no less than a good seven months or so, perhaps more, I can't clearly remember, it was during Ladder Season 3, going from Level 95 to 96 took a good two months of that whole period I played that Season.
My current Barbarian, which I only keep alive by logging in once every two months or so is Level 94, he's about half way to 95, but I never resumed to get there, I stopped roughly six months ago, and even when I played it wasn't that often, but for that one I almost never played alone, I gathered in public and private eight players games and did hundreds upon hundreds of Baal runs to get to that level quite faster than I did the previous Season.
And last week, on June 17th, it had been a year exactly since Season 4 was reset to let Season 5 begin, so Season 5 is just a year old now, and it's right within its due life span, patch 1.13 will end Season 5, and Season 6 will begin with it, and I would presume that it won't go much further than that until DIII is released, maybe we'll get to Season 7.
