In before your characters die at 70 hours.

Wow, sounds like an interesting challenge! I wish you the best of luck

I wish I could take some time off work, as I'd love to do my own version of this, but I think I'd aim to play for 18hours a day, and then get at least 6 hours of sleep. Can you imagine the dreams though? That could be some intense Diablo based nightmares there

Thanks for the well wishes everyone haha

We posted this over on the Battle.net forums at the beginning of the month and the response from those assholes was completely opposite to the Team Liquid community. I'm glad we posted here

To reiterate though, most of the group will only be playing up to 48 hours straight and then 12 hour days after that.

I will be streaming it

Aye, and also to re-iterate, I've done 72 hour long runs on Diablo 2 HC during the ladder resets without bouts of unconsciousness or lack of sanity. As others have said it's about the person and how they take care of themselves. I'm a relatively healthy person and I didn't load up on sugar or energy drinks, I stuck with water and foods like veggies, cheese/crackers, yogurts, sandwiches etc. and it had zero impact to my health. If I die during my 72-96 hour run it's not going to be from tiredness

As people here have mentioned, 1 slip-up in HC just negates all the effort you just put in. It's very likely to occur when you're 20-30 hours into the game, you'll just nod off without even realizing it. Share an account with other people, so each person can put in shorter shifts (8 or 12 hours, depending on the number of people rotating) and get sufficient sleep. Even if you do manage to succeed in getting a level 60 character by the first 48 hours, the first character to complete inferno would probably be somebody else, who shared an account to play 24/7.

On the note of account sharing, how sad would you be if someone else got your hc character killed? I don't think I could bare that!

This is a sick idea but I don't think Inferno will be so straight forward to just rush to and do server firsts. I'm guessing to actually deal with Hell/Inferno you will need to start gearing out pretty heavily before you are able to compete in them. Best of luck though and I hope you guys achieve some server firsts in Nightmare and Hell =)

I'd just like for everyone who thinks this is stupid to just shut up. No one cares if you think this is stupid. If it makes him happy, let him do whatever he wants. If you can't help, gtfo.

imho biggest thing about this is to set up your goals. If your goal is to be 1st to lvl 60, then go do marathon style, it will probably be the best, but if your goal is to beat inferno 1st that might take alot more time than just 1-2 sessions so you might get seriously fucked up after that 1 really long game session. In that case it might be better to practice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep these 2 weeks and then have a week of playing in this rythm. It might be slower to lvl 60, but probably better for inferno

We don't plan on actually killing things in Inferno, just getting to it. I think you'll need to spend a few days gearing up in Hell difficulty before you tackle mobs with 4 affixes ; ;

But all the glory and e-peen lies in being the first to clear Inferno!... however long that takes. I also forgot to ask: have you tried something similar? What is the longest time you've spent awake AND conscious?

Wheres the option "Most of them will fail but a few will succeed." I'm pretty sure the more they play the more careless they will get and therefore the more people will start dying off. If they begin with the ideal number of 8, I say 2 or 3 will make it out. Hopefully if the do die they die early so they can catch up to the others.

Players will definitely die, a realistic goal would be for 1 or 2 of us to survive through hell.

D3 HC is going to be infinitely harder compared to D2 based on no more Alt+F4ing and no more instant Town portal escapes. Then combine that with some of the new affixes like, Jailer, Nightmarish (fears your character, can't control it) and many others. I think we'll have to slow down our pace towards the end of nightmare and whatnot to make sure we have the necessary gear to survive the last push through hell difficulty.

The trick I think to staying up longer than 24 hours is drinking lots of healthy water, and eating healthy foods. Most people envision someone slamming red bull's and eating doritos during a gaming marathon. I plan on eating mostly healthy stuff, probably mixed nuts etc.
