I started timer on first teleport as i showed my paragons/gear first to show no cheating, and finished on loot drop from Malthael (the moment when you're available to port back out)

Would need to confirm whether we include Vidian (i didn't in my run)

Would need to confirm whether we're allowed to use the loot from the bounty chests too, just to keep some unity ^_^

Didn't even think of it as a NG run... could prove quite interesting. I assume it'd be the same rules as other NG runs, no paragons/artisans/stash items etc?

Also, there'd be a slight complication with the bounties - some of the bosses will yield more xp due to them being bounties - i can see these being the bosses that are farmed 1st to get to the movement speed abilities faster, and loot from the chests.

Might give this a go later today, sounds fun!

EDIT: After a quick test, the run would be sub 1 hour on normal, and the xp from the bounty bosses doesn't actually add that much, i hit level 10 just before the end of the run, so, 9 for vault means not a vast amount of vault usage, which could indeed mean that stopping to kill stuff would be beneficial.

Something else to take note of, would the new act 3 boss be required? It's not currently in the boss mode conquest at least :)

I like the idea of a Boss Mode type run, nice and fast at least, but it's basically going to be limited to 2 characters - monk on low difficulty (cus, dash...) and demon hunter for anything that requires any kind of killing power (very easy to gear for max speed with a full impale set - 1 shotting t13 bosses...)

That said, the best runs are also going to be fished for with basically having aranae, gohm, diablo and adria as bounties (arrow to the boss from the start)

Could still be interesting for 10-15 mins of fun though :D

EDIT: I Challenge anyone to find a class better suited to this than a demon hunter @ t13 - I just did a quick test, with quite a few mistakes, and got 11:58 :)

There's already NG coop though, and NG+ solo (i know the NG is more popular, but...) why not NG+ coop? Just the thought of 4 dash monks dashing around?

Just thought i'd say hi to my fellow speed runners here. I've only just come across this site, despite speed running since the first sprinter/speed runner conquest came out.

I'm more of an achievement hunter than a grift pusher, and as such, usually play the season up to 100% achievements and season journey, leaving me more time to theory craft different ways of speed running the game.

I 'specialise' in NG+ (some of you may already ahve seen my monk video - dh/barb/sader/wiz/wd awaiting verification now - sorry mods!) There's a few people i play with that are also into speedruns, so i'm pointing them all in this direction hoping to help build the community! Would love to see D3 showcased on AGDQ!

Have massive respect for you NG speed runners, and once season is over and i have some more character slots available to me, i will most likely start having a few practice tries to see where i'm at!

Can't wait to start contributing to the community - any runners on Europe that wish to add me, my battletag is Viper#2329

Happy running everyone!!! <3

Would there be a possibility of adding a coop NG+ catagory, i have a team ready, we all theory craft the fastest possible builds and routes. Rules would be as other catagories, start when 1st person makes 1st action, ends when same person talks to tyrael. All record video for verification etc. Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase? <3
