Oh,I can skip it

No golden fleece patching for me

blazing forum

you'll be fine if you download it I think, but I'm not a dev so do it at your own risk

wooden galleon
#

Does someone wanna waste multiple days of their lives training me for a speedrun, didn’t think so

blazing forum
#

It's...not the hardest

halcyon grove
#

once my n64 controller comes im gonna try the game with it

wooden galleon
#

Im just joking

blazing forum
#

I can help rn if you want

river crescent
#

hit things, dont get hit

#

get lucky

#

pog

wooden galleon
#

Im very lucky

blazing forum
#

Join one of the vcs, I'll join you ;P

river crescent
#

also i think GFleece can stack up multiple times if you kill enemies as they spawn.

#

cause its the only way i can explain when i got like 600% from a single room

narrow snow
#

Im going to be started a third run. Try a few different things but what im really after is values. Actually nevermind i need to work on my document so i know what values i need.

river crescent
#

if you mean damage values for weapons and spells

#

yeah its a mess to figure out

#

and damage numbers for weapons arent what they say. Their damage listed on their card is their average damage of their full combo

lean girder
#

This game's route is pretty easy to follow

wooden galleon
#

Someone’s helping me

lean girder
#

great 🙂

wooden galleon
#

Not for the route

narrow snow
#

I actually really just need shop values for the most part. Got to know how much of everything we need to keep things moving.

blazing forum
#

for 100%?

narrow snow
#

Yeah.

terse ruin
#

just speed ran, forgot to video LambertCry

blazing forum
#

ooooooof

terse ruin
#

i blame my cat

#

for no reason

narrow snow
#

100% is all decorations, follower forms, crown upgrades, shrine nodes. Shrine nodes is the real pain.

halcyon grove
#

is anyone else having lag issues with the shrine and sermon upgrade menus?

wooden galleon
#

Not me either

lmao, nice crit

acoustic vigil
#

i spent hours dodging for my life with these bosses

#

then i see this

#

hurts lol

halcyon grove
#

golden fleece + hammer is op

blazing forum
#

god it's so funny

grim bolt
#

it was a nice godly hammer + 10% crit tarot + 200% gfleece

#

had a nice luck on that crit

halcyon grove
#

true

acoustic vigil
#

yeah godly and fleece balancing is a bit crazy lol

livid basin
#

Morning and yeah, shame it takes a bit too much time to grind to Godly weapons

little crest
#

thinking about trying for any% wr

blazing forum
#

go for it!

little crest
#

I'm gonna watch the current wr through fully but are there any obvious improvements to be made?

blazing forum
#

compared to...

#

oh

#

I haven't watched theirs like that

little crest
#

only one that immediately occurred to me is the language prob shouldn't be French lol

blazing forum
#

But Hayu got one really close to it and they made a couple small mistakes in stuff like going the wrong way (even when known) a couple of times

little crest
#

most of the text is skippable but for the small amount that isn't, there's prob a faster language

blazing forum
#

which text are you talking about?

halcyon grove
#

the only mandatory text is transitions between stages

little crest
#

I'll have to watch through again but all I can think of is after the bishops

halcyon grove
#

after you beat the boss

blazing forum
#

You can press esc to skip those

halcyon grove
#

BRUH you can?

little crest
#

ah

blazing forum
#

yeah

#

doesn't work on controller for...reasons

little crest
#

ok so language doesn't matter

halcyon grove
#

not really i dont think

little crest
#

alr

#

gotta watch for routing then to see if it could be optimized at all

blazing forum
#

I'm sure getting even more optimized combat and never getting hit would be a way to get WR

#

you'd kill bosses even faster

#

that's going to be a big part of it in general I think

halcyon grove
#

especially if you downpatch

buoyant granite
#

we can submit twitch stream highlights to leaderboards instead of yt uploads right?

halcyon grove
#

you could get infinite gf theoretically

blazing forum
#

I mean, if you don't downpatch you aren't getting WR 😛

blazing forum
#

at least atm

#

And yes

buoyant granite
#

epic

blazing forum
#

I personally can't verify the runs from twitch, but I'm getting a tool soon to do so (according to another mod)

halcyon grove
#

you gonna stream on twitch? ill watch

buoyant granite
#

im starting rn : )

halcyon grove
#

cool!

little crest
#

I feel like I could def get sub hour with good rng and enough optimization

#

feels very possible

#

are there any known major glitches?

blazing forum
#

yes

halcyon grove
#

im not sure if sub hour is possible

blazing forum
#

midas skip

#

other than that, no

halcyon grove
#

follower cloning

buoyant granite
#

midas skip and follower dupe

blazing forum
#

yeah that one too

#

both are hilarious imo

#

but especially midas skip

halcyon grove
#

i dont think sub hour is happening until a major discovery is found

blazing forum
#

probably true

halcyon grove
#

currently the wr is 1:15

blazing forum
#

we have 2 in sub 1:15 I think

#

err

buoyant granite
#

most of the time i can get midas skip first try but for some reason occasionally i will sit there for 4 minutes bashing my head against a wall thruing to get it lmao

blazing forum
#

in 1:15, not sub 1:15

halcyon grove
#

and assuming with PERFECT rng you could MAYBE cut off a minute or two

blazing forum
#

I'm verifying one that states 1:15 GT rn lol

#

I mean with absolutely perfect rng you could probably get more

#

but if you just mean perfect fish rng? I still don't know if it's faster since fish is in darkwood 4, right?

halcyon grove
#

if you dont get hit at all you could one hit every boss and enemy, starting with gauntlet to clear out enemies and on last room get lucky enough to get a hammer, possibly save like 5 minutes

buoyant granite
#

i had a 1:32 that had 4 deaths totalling about 12 mins lost, 3 mins spent trying to get midas and i hadnt turn tutorial off either so however much time that wouldve saved too lmao

#

so wouldve pushed a 1:15

blazing forum
#

roughly 1:30 (+-10 min or so) is super standard first try

#

Especially if you do midas skip

halcyon grove
#

i would say if you did everything absolutely perfect, tas level, perfect luck, lowest time somewhere mid 1 flat times

blazing forum
#

oh, tas could probably get stupid low

wheat trout
#

gauntlet cancels only

#

lesgo

little crest
#

for some reason I always end up running devolver published games lol

#

this, etg, and I'm a src mod for carrion

blazing forum
#

devolver always publishes good games

#

that's part of why lol

little crest
#

prob true

#

I had the etg tutorial wr for like 1 week

#

then I stopped running lmao

blazing forum
#

lol

little crest
#

I've def put the most time into Undertale speedrunning tho

#

not active anymore but I've been in the sr community for going on 5 years

#

anyway this is prob off topic

livid basin
#

There are resources pinned here like, autosplitter and a guide to get started with

little crest
#

yeah ive looked through it

so not a super serious player

good

little crest

lmao

#

dw ill find cotl skip soon

blazing forum
#

I mean, midas skip is a solid 5-10 minute save

halcyon grove
#

i just tried the code and it didnt work bruh

blazing forum
#

follower duping is also p big, but harder to calculate since it changes the route

halcyon grove
#

do i have to downpatch

torpid atlas
#

i might consider making a speedrun mod :P

blazing forum
#

Atm we don't allow mods in the speedrun

torpid atlas
#

aw

blazing forum
#

but always feel free to make them anyway

torpid atlas
#

what's the most needed thing in speedrun anyways

halcyon grove
#

i would consider making mods but i dont know c#

torpid atlas
blazing forum
#

atm we're p good w/ what we have. There's an autosplitter getting close to finishing up (I think? from what I've heard) and that will make a ton of things easier

torpid atlas
#

ah yeah auto splitter

little crest
#

oh wtf i just checked on src and the creator of the leaderboard is a carrion runner as well lmao

halcyon grove
#

a speedrun mod would be great at least for me, i think i might be one of the only linux players in the entire discord lol

little crest
#

small world

blazing forum
#

stuff like practice mods would be great too

halcyon grove
#

oh yeah that would be great

blazing forum
#

but those are general big undertakings lol

halcyon grove
#

the possibilities are endless

blazing forum
#

tbh make what you want to make. That's always the way to go with programming imo

torpid atlas
#

yeah we are working on a modding utility rn btw

autumn niche
#

My memory sucks

blazing forum
#

I mean you only have to count to 20 for that though

#

Or at worst, something like....24?

autumn niche
#

I make my gf count with me

#

Lmao

blazing forum
#

you need 20, sack 7 of them in the current run

#

27

halcyon grove
little crest
#

my goal is to find a skip that changes the difficulty of the any% route on the guide from (easy) to (do not attempt)

halcyon grove
torpid atlas
#

actually there is

torpid atlas
#

idk if it count as advertising though

blazing forum
#

It's called 'easy' because of the game difficulty, not how hard the run is lol

little crest
#

no there's a separate rating for the difficulty on the skips and stuff

halcyon grove
torpid atlas
halcyon grove
#

oh yeah that reminds me

#

will debug be allowed for runs?

#

i assume not

blazing forum
#

like...a debug console?

#

I don't think those are ever allowed

#

well, that's not true

#

there are a couple

#

but most games don't allow it

halcyon grove
#

the only example i can think of is majoras mask but idk if they allow it

little crest
#

maybe if cotl category extensions ever becomes a thing lol

halcyon grove
#

hack%

little crest
#

theres a debug run on undertale category extensions

#

the wr is 1 second 🙂

blazing forum
#

in Risk of Rain 2 they're allowed to get a good seed, essentially

#

not set a seed

#

but there's a macro that lets you get a blue portal immediately first stage

torpid atlas
#

oh yeah

autumn niche
#

Seeded runs would be great

torpid atlas
#

it would be a great idea to show the seed on the screen

#

i will see if i can make a seed related mod

blazing forum
#

If the seed works anything like the demo, seed# won't mean much

autumn niche
#

Why?

torpid atlas
#

i think seed are randomly generated every dungeon run

autumn niche
#

Oh

little crest
#

trying to decide rn whether or not to go for a difficulty besides easy to get a free wr lmoa

#

nah thats kinda cheap

#

since easy is true any%

torpid atlas
#

i wanna see how seed are generate

blazing forum
#

Extra Hard doesn't have a run yet, I believe

little crest
#

nothing but easy does for me

#

thats what src is showing

autumn niche
#

5h wr on extra hard

blazing forum
#

people have submitted runs for medium

little crest
torpid atlas
#

woah

#

there are 2 billion possible seed

blazing forum
#

There's also a super unoptimized reverse bosses any%

#

it was like 2h or something

torpid atlas
#

i am not sure why the game store previous seed

#

hold on

little crest
#

are there plans for a ng+ category

autumn niche
#

There's no ng+

little crest
#

yeah some games offer it anyway

blazing forum
#

not yet

little crest
#

just with strict guidelines

#

i just realized ur pfp is espeon

#

how did i miss that

river crescent
#

minecraft can have something like 64 billion seeds

#

but only 48billion are ones that can actually be generated naturally

river crescent
#

and even then most speedrun categories of "any%" arent always any%

#

theyre typically "any%" then in the description they state "no save file corrupting yadayada"

#

always depends on the community. Id hope the community goes for the pretty common way of run categories. Where its just "any%" and it shows what patch theyre on in a column.

And if there are significant run differences in different patches then seperating them is also good. Mind you this is rarely just the speed of the run. Its typically related to big strategy changes that make the runs fundamentally different.

I did my first run to see if I would like it (without really looking into it too much)
died 3 times like an idiot and got a 1:55.
The run is fun at start, but clearing dungeons is kinda of a pain, i wish you didn't have to clear it 4 times each

halcyon grove
#

watching a non downpatched wr pace run live rn so idk

wheat trout
#

o? link pls?

halcyon grove
#

ill dm it since it would be technically advertising

wheat trout
#

sure

halcyon grove
#

i think undownpatched runs can stay competitive but maybe not in the future as wrs start becoming more optimized

Could we have the down patch guide pinned? I cba scrolling so high up

Do you have golden fleece? What order?

Yeah, then its just learning when to hang back

Ohh

yeah

blazing forum
#

Omnipresence?

halcyon grove
#

its focus on the doc for some reason

blazing forum
#

Its RT on xbox controller :v

#

I think

halcyon grove
#

are you on console?

little crest
#

Q on pc

blazing forum
#

I never used it in my runs tbh

#

No, im on pc

halcyon grove
blazing forum
#

Nah, it skips cutscenes and loot gathering

halcyon grove
#

wont help you unless you are learning

#

so you should get it

blazing forum
#

No, it saves time

halcyon grove
#

where?

blazing forum
#

Skips picking up totems and waiting for the loot from the chest

#

You use it immediately after picking up the heart

halcyon grove
#

oh i guess thats a good point

blazing forum
#

According to hayu, anyway

little crest
#

guy on wr pace just softlocked

#

clipping it rn

halcyon grove
#

rip lmao

blazing forum
#

Sounds about right

little crest
#

am i allowed to send the link to the clip?

halcyon grove
#

he reset the timer lol

little crest
#

since it is speedrunning related

halcyon grove
#

it resets on the autosplitter on main menu

wheat trout
#

such a huge F

halcyon grove
#

from when?

#

timing starts on first frame of lamb movement

little crest
#

well im gonna send the clip since i think its relevant, im sure someone will delete it if im not allowed to lmao

#

good to use for research purposes 🙂

yeah so dont go breaking all the grass whilst bishop is spawning whilst youre bored LMAO

blazing forum
#

Which anura was that

halcyon grove
#

anchordeep

blazing forum
#

His splits mentioned heket, but u right

halcyon grove
#

yeah splits were based off doc

blazing forum
#

If that was anchordeep 1 thats not quite WR pace i think

#

Assuming he hasnt done anura

little crest
#

he died a bit before that

#

it would have been wr

halcyon grove
#

tragic

little crest
#

he kept it going bc it was still pb

blazing forum
#

It seems wild to me he would get a 110 or so RT

little crest
#

nope, splits are just for personal reference

#

the start and end time are all that matter

#

you dont even need to have splits, just a timer

halcyon grove
#

run gets retimed anyway

blazing forum
#

Mention it to @modest stratus

#

Lol

halcyon grove
#

idk if you can do the subtract with autosplits

blazing forum
#

We retime them anyway atm, but idk if that will continue once the autosplitter is completely done

halcyon grove
#

im a linux idiot and i use llanfair so

#

hes asking if he can play music in the background

blazing forum
#

And if that was anchordeep 3 at 50m AFTER heket, hes like 20min faster than WR. Which is absolutely insane

#

If he was really going that fast w/ a death, he'll definitely take WR another time, no question

halcyon grove
#

btw is music allowed in the background of runs

blazing forum
#

As long as the game sounds and whatnot aren't inaudible because of it. I've been assuming that sound has to be on to help with verifying

#

At worst, if you run on PC you could use voice meeter banana and just have your music not record to the vod

#

Lmao sounds about right

halcyon grove
#

gl

modest stratus
#

heyo, don't work on autosplitter. should be fine as we retime it anyway

time for me to shleep, its 230am lol

narrow snow
#

In the rules for %100 is says all fish. But its mildly pointless since you can buy all of them once you get all the holy talisman pieces. All recipes would make more sense but most automatically unlock just from having the ingredients.

Neither really add anything to run but I’d understand keeping all recipes to keep it 100%

hearty vapor
#

yea tbh idk what they're doing, they're 7 mods now and somehow there are only 4 runs verified with rules still being the draft from when the boards were just created

modest stratus
#

We're working on it!

livid basin
hearty vapor
#

yea i understand that, but at least make the rules lol, i still don't know whether we are gonna force everyone to downpatch or whether we move pre 1.0.11 runs to legacy, or what exact requirements for 100% are since community does not like fish, or if there's gonna be glitchless category

livid basin
#

I'd say use ASL when ever possible

modest stratus
modest stratus
#

Heres my understandings.

  1. Glitchless category is gonna happen. (Might be known as NMG)
  2. Right now we might force downpatching with patches as categorys coming down the line later
  3. 100% still needs to be ironed out as we decide what counts and not
little crest
copper trout
#

personally I don't like that every doorway has a "load" it's a lot more work for us to count those and overall I don't think they're contributing to the final time in a meaningful way

We just got the patch and I want to see how runs are affected by the Golden Fleece patch. I know it might be slower, but until routes are figured out and we can see how much of a difference there is, it's hard to say with 100% certainty that we should split up the board by patch. The major reason I'm hesitant right now is console would be excluded from a down patch board.

#

It seems like there's more than enough interest for NMG so I can make that now

hearty vapor
#

console is already excluded from a lot because teleport glitch being mouse only

grim bolt
#

I will try a run and see how much it affects me

buoyant granite
#

so wait are downpatched runs still being accepted atm?

copper trout
#

and for 100% - we can certainly revisit the rules. Personally I wanted to do all unlocks or even Godhood But both of those include fish xD

#

at the moment everything is accepted until we can see what the big differences are

buoyant granite
#

ok cool

copper trout
buoyant granite
#

what is the method to downpatching again?

#

ik someone mentioned it somewhere in here

modest stratus
#

check messages from @rancid dust

#

Fishing also isn’t a problem to 100%. Basically everything can be pushed off till later if it needs to be so there’s less rush to get a fish for a fleece and we’ll wait till ocean’s bounty to get the rest.

#

There’s an achievement to catch 1 of every fish. I would assume this includes the swordfish

copper trout
#

yeah, why we favored the checklist

copper trout
torpid atlas
#

ok

copper trout
#

so who wants to be in a GDQ-like marathon 👀

look how they massacred my record ):

#

8 extra minutes due to fleece nerf

grim bolt
copper trout
#

whatchu mean how? I'm a lead organizer for one :p

grim bolt
#

oh nice, I'm up

#

I think we will require 2 leaderboards
pre gold fleece nerf and post

north birch
copper trout
#

but yes, I have availability for couch

hybrid night
copper trout
#

my marathon gets anywhere from 100-300 viewers - still brand new ( yay having some connections )

hybrid night
#

Also is the fastest way to get cloaks while doing Heket third fishing?

north birch
#

I only ask cause gdq was even letting people have pngtubers/vtubers on as "couch" lol

grim bolt
#

between A2 and A3 you fish for the talismans

north birch
#

For their recent stuff

grim bolt
#

in glitchless

hybrid night
#

ah

#

So the menticide mushroom route is suboptimal

grim bolt
#

mushroom kingdom is unlocked on A2

hybrid night
#

Why not just do Heket earlier to account for both menticide mushrooms and… well, Heket

grand kestrel
#

Which patch is the best for speedrun any% glitched ?

grim bolt
#

but if it's day still, you do A3

hybrid night
grim bolt
#

and in night you sacrifice on fox, do 10 mushrooms quest and fish for all talismans

hybrid night
#

ah

#

gotcha

grim bolt
hybrid night
#

Ah

#

Cool

grim bolt
#

1.12 has the nerf

grand kestrel
#

Ok thxs

hybrid night
#

Also once you obtain the upgrades you get from sermons/sacrifices do you just forsake town completely

grim bolt
#

yeah

#

you keep followers in the limbo and gather them in the end

hybrid night
#

gotcha

hearty vapor
#

then after killing shamura you will get the hammer weapon which you want in anchordeep because the frogs etc are too quick to hit with the hammer

Axe all the way

i hate axe on darkwood 2 but later i like it xD

FIRST CULT OF THE LAMB MARATHON?

I wanan learn speedrun ust to join marathon ngl LOL

north birch

Isn't there also that one other event that Shovelclaws is doing too?

#

All I have to offer is any% speedrun, tbh

At least my runs are time consistent

north birch
#

Afaik none atm cause the routing is still being ironed out

#

There's always RBO possibly?

grim bolt
#

Maybe some nice run of cook all foods

narrow snow
#

There really isn’t much super specific routing in 100%. We’ve got a check list to do and can go about it however we want.

north birch
#

Ahh ok

narrow snow
#

The “routing” is more about doctrines and cult upgrades.

lean girder
#

just had a hardlock, I guess you can't go TOO FAST while cooking

north birch
#

Yeah that's been around, just wait till you see the letterbox effect show up and you can then cook it

wheat trout
north birch
#

Just give it a second or two and then you should be fine

wheat trout

another thing I found out the hard way is that it's possible to not have enough gold for the shrine if you really zoom and dont collect regular room coins

fierce tangle
#

You can actually do it without collecting coins, need to do the boss hitless though

wheat trout
#

also quick question: is it game over if you dont indoctrinate an extra lad before shamura?

if you run out of followers

fierce tangle
#

Yep

yup

I don't think so

even more cause of that lol

speedruns usually get nitpicked a lot

Yesterday I was going incredibly well too, fastest than I ever did

#

but then I accidently warped to Midas while I was in the dungeon

#

so I broke a glitchless rule and lost my best timer cause I clicked too fast

it will exist soon, mods are just waiting a little bit to decide on new categories

but it's guaranteed

#

glitchless? no ide

#

a

wheat trout
#

any trick to making follower skip more consistent? (am on keyboard)

#

is it just smashing left dodge and hoping for the best

#

only asking cause I got it first try and since then never

#

in like 10-15 runs

#

no idea! thought i d specify tho

#

I actually think I read that controller is even less consistent

I use the controller most of the time

I'm gonna start submitting my times, but I don't know if I do pre patch or post

north birch
#

Just open the 2nd door, do the glitch, open another door, do the glitch again.

Just pay attention to how many followers stay when you do the glitch since that's a close representation of how many you successfully duplicated. You need 5 to remain in place for you to open all doors in a single try. I've gotten several times where only 3-4 stayed so I am required to do the glitch a 2nd time to unlock the last door.

if you have installed the split to the computer, you have to edit it to make it automatic

You get used to it

Sometimes playing safe it's better than going aggressive

Remember you need the 200% damage stack, so playing safe is rewarding

fluid sleet

honestly, finish at least one so you know what to expect at the ending

#

I was doing that and almost flopped my first run

#

An often overlooked part of speedrunning practice is finishing bad runs

#

Always gotta keep in mind how your late game practice compares to your early game

modest stratus
#

u right

fluid sleet
#

try not to compare the timer to the other runs

vestal terrace

it's a balancing act.

you shouldn't finish all your runs but you should practice parts of the run you don't get to often

oh

interesting

very clear what's happening from a code point of view lol

#

also, p sure you game over anyway if all your followers are dead? Idk since I've never seen it happen

autumn niche
#

You have some time to indocrinate a follower once your follower number goes down to 0

#

You can either indocrinate a follower after defeating Leshy to save some time as you need to unlock omnipresence anyways

#

Or you can indocrinate at least one after defeating Shamura

Do I need to use the automated timer to submit runs? I’m playing on Mac OS and have to use an app called Splitter rather than LiveSplit. I just wanted to ask whether that would still be valid for submissions. I’m running any% - both categories, glitches allowed and glitchless. Thanks!

blazing forum
#

No, you don't need to use the automated timer

#

atm we're deciding if we're going to be retiming it manually even if you do use an automated timer lol

#

let me tell you, it takes a hot minute to manually retime

wheat oar

OK, thanks! I only asked as I saw it pauses the timer during loads which obviously wouldn’t be doable without the automation - but yeah, manual retiming is a pain in the butt tired

Hi. New to the server and interested in practicing running this game.

I see the Golden Fleece was "nerfed" to 200% dmg cap. Is it still worth wasting time to get vs rushing boss rooms still?

Gotcha. I still have a lot to practice but was curious as to what people were thinking about the Fleece

Is the golden robe still worth it now that it caps at 200%? 🤔

#

Takes like 2 minutes or something like that to get no?

livid basin
#

Yeah, it is a fast acquire, but it is possible when running with new patch that other fleeces are viable (or even fleeceless)

little willow
#

I think maybe fleeceless is the way to go just from trying the 200% capped one, but obviously needs a lot more testing. If u can keep the 200% uptime constantly it might be better still but idk seems not plausible to keep up constantly :((

wheat trout
#

hitless runs when

hasty talon
blazing forum
#

I would think that golden fleece is still the best. x3 damage is pretty amazing just because it causes you to have less dodging time. I would think that eventually the WR will be a hitless run tbh (or nearly)

little willow
#

I mean it all depends on how much time it saves vs how much ur giving to get the fleece (obvious statement is obvious) but it’s hard to actually calculate that 😅

blazing forum
#

in my experience, being able to oneshot enemies happens around the 200% mark tbh

#

I'd have to actually try with it capped though

little willow
#

I still needed to 2 tap enemies

blazing forum
#

it depends on the weapon obv

little willow
#

With the 200%, at least some of them, some have low enough hp to die from 1

#

Yeah exactly

#

Weapon is also a non static thing LUL

blazing forum
#

not actually quite true

#

from what I've experience MOST of your weapons are the same

#

or at least your first large number of them

little willow
#

Oh I didn’t know that actually, that’s good to know c:

blazing forum
#

back when I was doing leshy -> heket -> shamura, I would have the same weapons every time all the way to silk cradle 2

#

and I just stopped paying attention to it by that point

little willow
#

Ah interesting!

blazing forum
#

i may be wrong tbh

little willow
#

I do remember getting a different weapon if I died during my casual playthrough

blazing forum
#

it might just be that doing certain things unlocks weapon types, and you are guaranteed to get that weapon type the next time

#

which would make a LOT of things guaranteed though

#

yeah, if you have to go to main menu ever then it feels random

little willow
#

True true, more consistency would be good for sure in terms of weapons and stats in general

#

But games still very new so who knows

#

Is the patch set for leaderboard or are mods still in talks about stuff like that?

#

Moreso cus there’s a huge difference with the gold fleece capped dmg from the 2 patches I’ve seen

blazing forum
#

p sure it's still just one leaderboard atm

little willow
#

I’m definitely downpatching then LUL

blazing forum
#

only at the moment. There's definitely a plan to separate it, and I would hope it's sooner rather than later with as many people asking lol

little willow
#

Ah gotcha, “atm” is a wide term especially speedrun wise in my experience, but would be nice if it wasn’t necessary to downpatch to be competitive in the long run, especially for newcomers later on

While I agree, it's also a whole like 2 clicks to downpatch lol

was liek "wait this is to a channel they can't see" f

like you can click the link, which will open your steam client with a console tab open. Type in the thing and it will take a little bit to download the stuff into a folder which will be printed in the console as well. Then you just start the .exe in there and it'll run the downpatched version

will keeping ingame SFX on but music off while playing some of my own music invalidate a run?

there are talks with people looking into the code about what new things could be found in terms of what you need to do to trigger the TOWW door to open, so yeah if that results in anything then sub hour id say is almost guaranteed

Hey @dull horizon and other mods, do you guys plan on checking the runs and making changes to the leaderboards? it's kinda messy rn

dull horizon
#

im not sure

#

frankly ive been very busy this past week, adjusting to college and all

#

just got access back to my pc

#

also you guys need to pay attention to who has what role on src, currently im just a verifier so all i can do is verify runs

#

not a big deal but that's definitely more a question for the moderators

lean girder
#

hmm I see, I think some other mods mentioned being too busy as well

dull horizon
#

you can tell what role someone is with the little sword icon on our src page btw

#

in case it isnt known

lean girder
#

Ooooh I didn't know

#

yeah I was ignorant of that

dull horizon
#

np

#

i dont know of any plans but i'm also likely behind rn

#

is there a specific run you want verified? i have some reading i gotta do but after im gonna be free

#

@lean girder

lean girder
#

No I don't mind mine being on wait

#

Only thing that I'm kinda down rn is that it the way that the board is being updated, it looks like there are hardly any ppl running the game

dull horizon
#

we currently have 18 runs in queue

#

the big problem is that we have to manually retime runs without the load remover then get it double checked

#

so runs that use the load remover will be massively prioritized

#

also if you have a specific run you wanna get verified just ask

#

we typically just go by whatever is the oldest but none of us mind being asked to look at one of your runs

lean girder
#

I'm more concerned about the activity of the game on the leaderboards, for real I don't mind waiting for mine to be verified at all

dull horizon
#

also second note please upload your runs to youtube if possible, especially if you dont use load remover

lean girder
#

I don't know if you get what I mean by this

dull horizon
#

i understand yeah

lean girder
#

cause I see games like

dull horizon
#

im mostly speaking past just you and to others reading this

lean girder
#

Stray for example, it was as big of a hit as CotL is

#

great for speedrunning etc

#

and it's extremely active since the first week

dull horizon
#

i dont think much would change in terms of activity

#

it'd be more but only 18 more

#

and some of the runs in queue are by runners with a time recently verified

#

so active runners wouldnt change

#

additionally... src's stats on active players is kinda weird

#

ive tried figuring out how its calculated but cant really tell

#

for example we have 6 runners with times verified but only 4 runners in our "active players" stats section

#

idk if its just slow at updating or if it doesnt count users with email verification or what

bc you said both check runs and change leaderboards

#

If a new speedrunner sees a brand new hitgame having hardly any runs, ppl tend to try kinda 'look down" on it and go for other games

#

i think the plan is to have 1.10 and below and... whatever current patch is and above?

#

we'll see as stuff gets patched

#

and any% glitchless is also on the way

hey shovelclaws is it possible to remove my other summited times so you don't needlessly verify them

dull horizon
#

i mean i can reject them all

or i can just accept them and remove the time to obsolete them

moderation hub doesnt update instantly and sometimes it bugs

#

its really strange

#

so it can end up still being in our queue and being verified

#

afaik

lean girder
#

lol

#

well then ignore what I said xd

dull horizon
#

they'll be handled dw

lean girder
#

I think maybe just leave a note on the run?

#

saying not to verifiy it?

dull horizon
#

ill probably verify them without an actual time that way we dont need to retime and they'll be obsoleted anyways

#

just let me know when your 1:10 is submitted @calm peak

calm peak
#

ok

lean girder
#

I'm gonna wait for the glitchless leaderboard so I can start running again

#

kinda unfair posting mine against those xd

dull horizon
#

itll be soon
