I never claimed it was. Do you see me bragging about it? No, I was proving that it can be done without past lives. How dense are you ppl and how many times do I have to repeat myself? Never said it was a shiny achievement. I said it can be done, and I even had fun. It wasn't brute force.. brute force would be taking a monkcher in there. I had to plan my moves. Sorry if I enjoy strategizing once in a while to not always just run through a quest killing stuff.
My point was - you didn't prove shit, and that's mostly because of 14 deaths.
But it's a slippery slope to define what is a "true" completion/solo and what is not, and why completion with one death near shrine is valid and one with 14 deaths and cakes it's not, or how many pots are "allowed", and so on. Everyone has his own standards and opinions, and if you indeed had fun doing it - then congrats.
Not in mood to argue if it was bragging or not, and after all we all have personal achievements, which are not necessarily achievements for the rest. I was very proud when I soloed elite DA on a lvl 16 monk pre MOTU, although for established players that would have been a laughable thing most likely.

So, u're saying u don't consider a quest completed if u died? So I'm guessing u only play high saves evasion toons? U ever play a fleshy caster? U ever make mistakes when u run quests? I guess we'll have to start telling u to re-run the quest because u died. Or right, u don't die.
god, u never get a little bit excited ever, do u? No wonder u're so grumpy.
See above about deaths.
You do not need to tell me anything, I do indeed recall in majority of cases when I die solo, sometimes I can re-enter or use a cake (though I'm not carrying any with me, usually). I am not saying that should be the norm, it's just my own bizarrerie. 14 seems excessive to me to claim a successful completion, but to each his own.
I play a lot of flavour builds, even my "FOTM builds" are flavour mostly (undead archer e.g.).
I played a fleshie caster, and I'll soon tr into another one. In fact, I LRed my first life fvs into fvs/wiz shiradi exactly because it's performance in EE was laughable, and I didn't feel like TRing umpteen times to make her work, especially in the dark caster ages after EGH release.
I surely make mistakes and I die a lot, I can bring a honorable 3rd party to prove it.
P.S. I though I saw a thread where someone whined about not having capstone on his morninglord FVS, after some forums searching I must admit it was my imagination and I talked out of my arse.
You can celebrate. Grats.
