Hello again and map layout question for Meph

Hello! I last played this game around 2003, and I got bored last weekend and reinstalled the game - saw that there had been quite a few updates from the days of 1.09. I'm playing a Fishyzon and I only play SP.

I know you can generate maps nowadays - but is there some sort of change to the location of the door to durance level 3 in relation to the durance lvl 2 waypoint? In the past it used to be random, but I've tried for 30 minutes so far, and it seems like every time it's on the complete different side of the the map - ie not efficient for MFing.

(and yes, i'm changing the maps by switching difficulties.. i'm getting new layouts, but none of them to be actually fast - i just hate to waste another hour of my time if Blizzard has inserted a 'must be x screens away' field to the layouts/waypoints equation)

thanks for the help in advance good to be back after a short break lol|||Welcome back! Glad you joined!

You can get a map that is 1-2 teleports from the wp, but it could take some time.|||I believe it is turn left from the waypoint (i.e. hug the left wall after coming out from the waypoint and travel clockwise). I have read that this is not an entirely accurate way to describe it, but I find that it works more often than not.

As kestegs said, you should be able to find a map that is about 1-2 teleports away with a bit of effort.

p.s. go gunners! glad to have qualified!|||If you have a teleporting character, you can get a crazy good map with 1-2 teleports to get to the stairs, but if you're running, it shouldn't take more than half an hour to get a map like this:


Code:

               |--------|
               |   --   |
               |   --   |
               |        |
               |        |
               |        |
               |        |
               |        |

|||Going back to my noobish days, here is some logistical data on running meph.

At the time, I was incredulous at how fast some people were running Meph. Now I am stunned that I took so long...
