Says who? You? You make the rules for other people's challenges now huh? I'm attempting to do something that's never been done before, if that's not good enough for you - Sorry, I don't really care, you can kindly fuck right off.

You were so eager to take rules from Lorean. That guy got laughed off the server several times. Keeps coming back for more, just like you.

Technically I did not kill him when I was buffed by my own toons. I was buffed by a group at NG camp, you can still see my tells to their enchanter in the chat window. My toons are parked for when I can't get buffs from others already in the zone. Regardless, it's pretty absurd to expect something like this to be done with only self buffs, it's never even been done fully buffed before (without charges), but somehow that's not good enough for you?

Perhaps you should take a took at the Solo Artist Challenge Rules. It clearly says in the Clickies section towards the end: "Outside buffs are not permitted for casters; melee can get as many buffs as they like as they are already at a considerable disadvantage."

Anyways, again, sorry if this isn't good enough for yall's standards. Looking forward to seeing your attempts next.

I'm not trying to demerit your accomplishment, this was not a personal attack, I was more so summarizing what other people were posting in the thread before me. I think its cool that you did this, and part of the fun for everyone on the server is setting goals for yourself and achieving them, its what keeps the game alive 26 years later.

My personal viewpoint is that calling something solo that requires multiple players to accomplish is simply mis-labeling.

Was it challenging? Yes
Was it an accomplishment? Yes
Was it possibly the first time done in these conditions on P99? Maybe, although unlikely given the amount of geared monks out there that farm fungis
Was it done solo? Nope

I would define solo as something that could be or was accomplished in a vacuum by one character. I.E. if you logged in your toon and the server population was 1 and there was no boxing. I personally would find it a bigger achievement and be more impressed to do this without any non-self buffs, but using unlimited clickies that are usable by your race/class. That is how I personally would define "solo".

I thought it was impressive af, it's not an easy task even with buffs. The 2 pathers and exit shroom is a PITA to keep down with your own dps and pulling the king in such limited amount of time is the real challenge cause you only get like a 1-2min window and if you F'up you start all over again waiting for roamers that could pop on you. I've done king solo on SK and it only worked using the rock abuse(which was nerfed a day later with that stayoff rock npc) self-buffed using like 40+ clicks of worts and a reaper+ivandyr hoop lmao definitely not sustainable! and it dropped a robe which i destroyed cuz it didn't count in my books. Only Monk/Enc can solo king iirc cuz they have enough dps to break roamers or pacify em to get the king at a legit kill spot... Well done OP I'm sure you will get em without any use of charges which would be incredible. Hell even your second attempt using only 7 charges is well worth it.

Assuming this is true, imagine now who your biggest cheerleaders were from this thread. The ones stroking your ego, or the ones challenging you to do more.

Challenging someone to do more is fine. Discouraging people from doing something isn't fine.

People in this thread responding negatively were discouraging, not challenging.

"That's right. It was tough love, don't you get it. It wasn't trying to minimize the accomplishment to narrow the gap between yours and my lack of, not at all!"

I bet you're SUPER fun at parties.

I am confused about the mindset and goals of the few people downplaying this kill. The man laid out his goals, the restrictions he is putting on himself for achieving the goal, then has posted multiple attempts showing his progress and final success. (Video to come per above)

Then you have Samoht pop in trying to apply their own restrictions on the goal as if their thoughts or opinions on the matter have any value outside of their own head. If you want to define your own challenge, go right ahead. Post your results. Maybe it will also be neat.

Cool kill, cool videos. Glad you are still challenging yourself and finding ways to have fun with this relic of a game.
