why are you guys arguing with the 200 hours andy, you're probably never gonna see him again lol

#

he plays ready or not so that already tells you what's his "style" for gtfo

pearl pine
#

at the end of the day, we all love the same game. this is one of my favourite games. met some of the best people through this game im still friends with to this day

gaunt nacelle
#

Can we normalize being diverse in our list of games we’ve played

hoary crescent
#

you can play whatever you want

#

i'm not saying it's wrong lmfao what the fuck

#

i'm just saying that just by watching his steam library you can tell he likes stealth, he's not gonna fast stealth and that shit

gaunt nacelle
#

Fairs but I think you shouldn’t judge based on one game they’ve played

hoary crescent
#

he plays like spiff did back then

hoary crescent
gaunt nacelle
gaunt nacelle
pearl pine
#

i do love stealth in most games yea

hoary crescent
#

yeah see

#

let the man be

#

the people that he'll "teach" anyways won't join any lobbies with faster people so it's fine lmao

gaunt nacelle
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Mb G’s

pearl pine
#

nah its my fault. really just wanted to help people out and enjoy the game haha. didnt mean to start all this. its honestly the last thing i wanted

hoary crescent
#

the issue stemmed from this comment you made " I don’t like speedrunners nor do it myself"

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

next time just avoid that

pearl pine
#

just wanted to attract similar people is all lol

hoary crescent
#

cause you obviously didn't play with any speedrunner, you just played with an average player that went a normal pace

#

you just go at a lower place than normal, that's all and that's okay

#

people play their own way

#

just don't bash on other people that's all

gaunt nacelle
#

Just say ” if y’all want we can go slow” and I think most slow paced people would appreciate it

gaunt nacelle
#

I mean he said to send a dm

#

So you’d send the dm

hoary crescent
#

fair then 👍

gaunt nacelle
#

Then prolly figure that out

#

Then you could be civilized and be like ”o shiiii our playstyles don’t match”

#

And leave it at that lol

hoary crescent
#

i think the issue frosty saw, or at least that i saw aswell was that he's willing to teach new players the way he likes to play the game, which inherently is slow and just wrong imo

gaunt nacelle
#

Yeaaaaaaaaa kinda, you do need a mix of being quick but also not wasting resources where you can’t

#

Imo timed levels are the only levels where you need to quick stealth

hoary crescent
#

the first thing i used to tell newer players in a lobby is just stop crouching and fast stealth

gaunt nacelle
#

Arguments to be made about infectious fog levels too

hoary crescent
#

ain't nobody got time to waste 3 hours on a level crouching

pseudo sedge
#

the advantage with playing faster is u actually get through the game in a reasonable time and dont see the 7 hour r6d1 clear

gaunt nacelle
pseudo sedge
#

you also get to learn from mistakes far better if u play faster

hoary crescent
#

that would've been my issue with his message

gaunt nacelle
#

Fairs fairs

hoary crescent
#

i do feel like fast stealthing, which is not even close to speedrunning, is the correct way to play the game

gaunt nacelle
#

Maybe I’m forgetting how bad slow stealth is lol

gaunt nacelle
pseudo sedge
# gaunt nacelle Cuz you do more mistakes per hour type stuff

you get to see what the limit is, it's just basic limit testing: u get to see how many enemies u can handle at once, how fast u can stealth a group of enemies, and all of this works with the fact that if u have a section where u have issues getting to it in 20minutes rather than 1 hour feels much better

hoary crescent
#

slow stealth is insanely slow

hoary crescent
gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

surge wave?

#

lol

pseudo sedge
#

there is so much critique of this game being "too long or tedious" which all stems from a fundamental missunderstanding that this game is supposed to be played only slow

hoary crescent
#

^

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

i'd say that it attracts the right people

#

how many people that slow stealth do you see that get past r3?

#

whenver i pub i'd say 0 lol

gaunt nacelle

Fairs

hoary crescent
#

if stealthing infinite if you know how long range, proxy, forcing long range works

pseudo sedge
#

but currently: every enemy solo is stealthable except bosses

#

so as long as u can isolate bigger enemies u can stealth any room

hoary crescent
#

^

gaunt nacelle
#

Ok but the like sleeper wakes up cuz I killed someone near it, I kill that sleeper which doesn’t wake up others thing, how does that work?

pseudo sedge
#

and using forced long range aggro this is doable

hoary crescent
#

long range can't chain long range

#

that's how you kill small things near a giant for example

gaunt nacelle
#

Is that long range?

hoary crescent
#

you force long range on the sleeper near the giant and you can kill him without proxying the giant

pseudo sedge
#

if u dont kill the enemy u wake up the chance for a long range aggro is 100% and thus u can force any long range aggro by walking into a small enemy (aka waking it up) and then immediately hammering it

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
graceful geode
hoary crescent
#

the shooter can't wake up mechanically

pearl pine
graceful geode
#

It's also true that actually teaching this game is sometimes grueling (I've a 2 hour run of R2C1 where I teached 2 guys terminal, uplink, how they work, bonking scouts and all that jazz) and to be honest it's a bit of a chore.

hoary crescent
#

not stage of alertness

gaunt nacelle
#

Ooooh ok

hoary crescent
#

long range in general works that way

#

that's why sometimes you may be wondering "how did that guy wake up and not this guy", the "this guy" wasn't alerted that's why

gaunt nacelle
#

So if a sleeper is woken up and I kill it, there’s 100% chance the closest sleeper will wake up?

hoary crescent
#

no

hoary crescent
#

another sleeper has to be alerted

#

if everything is sleeping nothing will wake up

gaunt nacelle
#

Oh ok

hoary crescent
#

the way you force long range is by waking up the sleeper you're about to kill

#

that way you force long range

#

if anything is alerted

gaunt nacelle
#

Im tryna wrap my head around this lol

hoary crescent
#

eva as always has a video about it

#

should be the stealth guide

gaunt nacelle
#

Has it got nothing to do with states?

hoary crescent
#

?

pseudo sedge
#

the way it works: if a sleeper is sleeping and u wake it up it triggers short range aggro check, if the check fails then it can trigger long range aggro check which has a max of 1 enemy. Here it has a chance to wake it up which ranges based on: enemy state after wake up and way it woke up. (for example which melee u hit it with)

hoary crescent
#

what? referred to moth message

pseudo sedge
#

If u wake it up and it is not dead, no matter how u woke it up the odds it triggers long range aggro is 100%

#

and long range aggro wakes up the closest glowing enemy within 15m

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

stages dont matter

#

only thing that matters if it's sleeping or not

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

?

#

why

gaunt nacelle
#

On the stages don’t matter part

hoary crescent
#

bro

#

sleeping or not

#

that's all

#

wtf LOL

gaunt nacelle
#

😭🙏

#

My bad

hoary crescent
#

it's really not that hard to grasp

pseudo sedge
#

stages matter on the enemy u WANT to force long range aggro on

hoary crescent
#

yes

graceful geode
#

It's one of those cases where people mean different things with "stages" "waking"

pseudo sedge
#

not on the enemy u use to long range aggro

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

ify ou're asking if alerted or throbbing matters

#

no, what matters if it's sleeping or the other two

#

that's what matters

#

you want to force? just flash him and wake up the enemy you're killing

#

that's all

#

you want nothing to be woken up? flash everything and wait till everything is asleep and kill

#

it's that simple

#

really not that deep

gaunt nacelle
#

Ok wait so if I got this correctly, let’s say there’s a giant with a sleeper next to him, then there’s a sleeper close to me and the sleeper close to the giant is closer than the giant to me than the giant. When the sleeper close to the giant glows, I wake up the one close to me and kill it, the sleeper close to the giant wakes up and I kill it, leaving the giant sleeping

pseudo sedge
#

yes

hoary crescent
#

yes

gaunt nacelle
#

Ok got it lol mb

hoary crescent
#

the reason is -> chain long range is not allowed

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

which is very nice

near stag
gaunt nacelle
#

Yea it is

gaunt nacelle
graceful geode
gaunt nacelle
#

And now I’ve forgotten lol

hoary crescent
hoary crescent
#

in vanilla you may use it like

#

almost never

#

probably 3 or 4 times if you really look for it

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

you just

#

don't slow stealth enough to use it

graceful geode
#

I'm not going to lie: it's handy to know so you dont RUSH to kill something that woke up due to long range, since that can actually wake more shit up than just killing the sleeper

#

But that's it.

pseudo sedge
#

that trick is not tied to slow stealth

graceful geode
#

or for cases where you really want something close to something small not to wake up

why is there so many messages

hoary crescent

cause you suck

Wowowowowowoww lakana wat

oh yeah happy late easter

gaunt nacelle

😭🙏

junior latch
# junior latch No?

And to explain this

Melee hits that dont kill do not have 100% long range aggro chance

gaunt nacelle
#

Saw that

or something along those lines

hasty bobcat

and I was like

average

and went back to sleep

a couple months back

”Give a man a level, he’s fed for a day, teach a man fast stealth and he’s completed the game” type stuff

Darkeva's message must be long

#

how long will it be?

#

open guesses

hoary crescent
#

Looking for 3 players for a slow, methodical run – not rushing, not speedrunning.
Planning to clear room by room, communicate, and handle situations strategically.
Perfect if you're into stealth, coordination, and surviving over brute-forcing.

Mic required, patience preferred.
New or experienced – doesn’t matter as long as you're chill and down to take it slow.

DM if you're in.

graceful geode
#

10 lines?

junior latch
#

Its not about how you enjoy the game (tho there might be some lil quips) but about the things you said such as:

  1. speedrunners are extremely annoying in the community
    -> I doubt you actually ever played with a single one
  2. Speedrunners thinking their way is the only way to play
    -> all speedrunners I know are extremely aware that speedrunning is distinctly different from normal gameplay.
    Also you were saying your way is the only way to play, which was pretty hypocritical
gaunt nacelle
#

Yea I was about to say essay long message

brittle schooner

patience preffered is funny lol

is aight

hoary crescent
#

average

hasty bobcat
graceful geode
#

I think fastest I ever did was something around a quarter of hour with tru and other 2 people

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

damn

#

i need to find a team to run cell skip

#

or just pub it

hasty bobcat
gaunt nacelle
#

Tbh idk if just clears are accepted

#

Like even if it’s a shit time

hasty bobcat
#

we had 3 good players who know the route carry an admin

gaunt nacelle
hasty bobcat
#

took like 4 runs and last one was 33 mins

hoary crescent
#

literally the only active admin yes

hasty bobcat
#

ye

gaunt nacelle
#

W’s honestly

hasty bobcat
#

point is u need 3 vets prob

hoary crescent
#

i believe with some good players you can cell skip sub 33

#

at least you actually play the game opposite to soy

hasty bobcat
#

50 25 20

hoary crescent
#

oh

#

you're more than fine then

graceful geode
#

It's going to be like R3D1's contest where 3-4 people do multiple runs with multiple groups

hoary crescent
#

probably

graceful geode
#

and multiple people get the prize

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

sub 20 is way easier to get than sub 11 though

hasty bobcat
#

ye

#

or more like

hasty bobcat
#

no rng involved really

hoary crescent
#

yeah

#

and also just more fun in general

hasty bobcat
#

ye

hoary crescent
#

r3d1 was a snoozefest into a 1 minute adrenaline rush

gaunt nacelle
hasty bobcat
#

any group can get sub 50 prob

gaunt nacelle
#

Chat anyone a veterinarian?

brittle schooner
hoary crescent
#

it's definetly easier

#

way easier is a stretch you're right

hasty bobcat
#

i mean we got a sub 20

#

kek

#

it was aight

hoary crescent
#

it was fine yeah

gaunt nacelle
hoary crescent
#

imo rng

hasty bobcat
#

prob

#

I mean u can still get fucked

#

but like

hoary crescent
#

like

hasty bobcat
#

everything has to go wrong for that pmuch

hoary crescent
#

speedrunning i believe it's also a mental thing

#

running over and over just to fail to rng and charger room

#

it slowly gets toyour mental lmao

hasty bobcat
#

it was aight

gaunt nacelle
#

🗣️🔥we quitting GTFO with this one

brittle schooner
hoary crescent
#

r5e1 is just fun to speed

hasty bobcat
#

it gets pretty sad when u always survive

#

but still

ivory pier
#

striker because hes male

brittle schooner
#

but what about big striker

hasty bobcat
#

same thought

near stag
#

@gaunt nacelle sry fam got some stuff to do. gtg

shut vapor
#

anyone going for some round 2 of madness d1 clueless

#

(hopefully not afk when last up)

the hit rundown

shut vapor
#

Surely I won't troll this time

my r2mm broke lol i can't launch modded anymore

gaunt nacelle

We got sub 25 first try with a random pub who hadn't played the level before with me Ray zed

ivory pier
burnt flume
#

oh i might've fixed it

#

yeah i did, there we go

rose nova
#

omg now play occlusion

shut vapor
#

or Madness

rose nova
#

or ping everything

sacred briar
#

or

hasty bobcat
#

so is aight

burnt flume
#

we did waste a lot of time and got no early ammo in hub zone

hasty bobcat
#

ye

hasty bobcat
#

where's announcement btw

#

or is it not yet time

worn kiln
#

not time yet

#

i miscalculated

gaunt nacelle
#

did a misinput

worn kiln
#

by that i mean i forgot to give a warning about the everyone ping to the mods so im giving them a few hours

hasty bobcat
#

should've stopped at miscalculated

worn kiln
#

womp womp

mellow hedge
burnt flume
#

r5e1 is a much more dangerous level

#

higher resource burden and less likely to find resources too

mellow hedge
#

A sub 20 with chill Strat still is not easy

hasty bobcat
#

i mean u just roll d key

mellow hedge
#

Sub 11 r3d1 is not that difficult

hasty bobcat
#

and it's free no

mellow hedge
#

Eh

#

Not really

#

You still have to play fast

hasty bobcat
#

did u run much ytd

mellow hedge
#

Yeah for a few hours

#

We had a run that was mid 15 pace

#

Ended up being a 16:55

hasty bobcat
#

prob just unforch

#

I got my run within like 2 hours

#

and we had only chill so

mellow hedge
#

We were running split strat

#

So we had like 4 sub 20’s or something

hasty bobcat
#

yea exactly

fringe garden
#

is is scatter hel rifle into chargers or double scatter

hasty bobcat
#

it's much more accessible prob

#

it's probably just everyone into chargers

#

like u clear A

#

u kill wave

#

and u just go in and blast

fringe garden
#

fair

rose nova
#

me finding out just now that r3 has logs on c1 and d1 that actively help for gameplay

#

what the fuckl

mellow hedge
mellow hedge
mellow hedge
hasty bobcat
mellow hedge
#

In every other strat except split everyone goes in yeah

hasty bobcat
#

ye

#

by the time u kill B ure prolly getting 1 wave spawn

#

and that's it

fringe garden
hasty bobcat
#

so no point staying out

mellow hedge
#

Scatter is just busted

#

I really like split strat though

hasty bobcat
#

everyone is doing smth

#

is aight

#

how do wave split feel?

fringe garden
#

id be willing to bet there's some wack bias towards one side that's also influenced by where host is

hasty bobcat
#

that's what i was thinking

#

host is carrying cell tho so is aight

mellow hedge
#

charger guys hardly get any waves spawns at all

hasty bobcat
#

yee

mellow hedge
#

until cell gets closer

hasty bobcat
#

ye is fair

#

it's pretty chill then

#

how far into hub are u available to go?

mellow hedge
#

yeah

hasty bobcat
#

before cell comes

mellow hedge
#

and the potential time save is pretty seductive

mellow hedge
hasty bobcat
#

aight

mellow hedge
#

in an ideal world cell is the time gate

fringe garden
#

is it full send B to get scans pulled and game out atp

#

or can you still like, partial/full pull into mine and have time

wraith marsh
#

highly variable

#

typically you play for mines and whichever door breaks first gets funneled to

#

so you use that to get door pull then clean up

#

tank is in B a lot of the time so this gives time for him to move to the middle of the room which is a good spot to kill him

#

we phased out sniper so its double scatter charger zone now and it seems good

wraith marsh
#

and when cell is good its very hard for you to miss a lot of hub

fringe garden
wraith marsh
#

like typically pushers are gonna get stopped around C in hub

#

since thats the slowdown point

wraith marsh
fringe garden
#

ggs the sawed off scatter is coming for everything

wraith marsh
#

yup

#

meta is doomed

#

byeah we made that change, slotted frosty instead of jish

#

ran split strat

#

and we got WR pace within 30 minutes

#

runs just not that optimized

fringe garden
#

surely giant alarm means hel rifle won't be replaced by scatter (clueless)

wraith marsh
#

yeah no you always need some long range

#

sniper unfortunately doesnt cut it

#

cuz that was the original thought

#

sniper 3 scatter

#

you rly need scout kill for giant zone

#

and range is good for both surges and giant alarm

#

(and even class 3 in split strat since you dont get to foam it all the time)

#

also makes scout waves less punishing

#

byeah split strat not as unfun as I thought it was, but I still definitely prefer not doing it

#

playing as 4 the whole run is just better and also has 0 rng requirement

#

lot less wipe conditions

fringe garden
wraith marsh
#

yeah, its agood level for both guns but unfortunately hel rifle is S tier and sniper is not

#

not unfortunately actually

fringe garden
#

eh i think good sniper would be fun

#

old sniper with new ammo would go so hard

wraith marsh
#

hel rifle is very very fun on that level

#

its like

#

the best hel rifle level ngl

fringe garden
#

that's a crazy take i think but maybe it's indivative of me being bad at playing pen

limber notch
#

like 2-4 min?

wraith marsh
#

hard to tell, probably 3 minutes max

#

its an overlap split so its very hard to judge timesave

#

the other strats for the level are built around E key so you get a lot of time save off of that alone

limber notch
#

kinda makes sub-20 very tight without split, no?

#

although idk which one is harder tbh

wraith marsh
#

no bc good split strat is like 15 minutes

#

perfect split strat at least

#

weve already ran non split a lot with different groups to get a good idea and sub 20 has been very low rng requirement

hasty bobcat
#

chill can u get ur theoretical

#

for r5e1

wraith marsh
#

I have no idea how to do that

#

frosty can probably already get a good one from last night

#

but its gonna be naive splits as per usual

#

and we rolled 0 C cells

#

actually now that I think about it I dont think we played a single H key either?

#

we were only resetting for D second keys

hasty bobcat
#

its like

#

u input all ur 5e1 logs

#

and then choose r5e1 or smth

fringe garden
hasty bobcat
#

and it tells u ur theoretical

wraith marsh
#

where do I input it

#

speedrun logs?

#

or is it a stats thing

hasty bobcat
#

in the logger

#

yea stats thing

#

u can see ur theoretical somewhere

junior latch
#

sky the time will be off if they run different strats

wraith marsh
#

I dont have our original runs so this will likely only be last night + the test runs

junior latch
#

it takes the personal best between door opens

#

but if you run strats where door opens arent linear (or run multiple strats) then it gets borked

limber notch
hasty bobcat
#

i mean that ye

#

u get me

wraith marsh
#

frosty you did the "fun" role

limber notch
#

speedrunner btw lel

wraith marsh
#

the role I did before so I only got to hear that the other role was bad

hasty bobcat
#

what's the fun role

#

is it pushing

wraith marsh
#

pushing yea

hasty bobcat
#

ye

wraith marsh
#

the 2 ppl going in charger

#

we all agree that hub is like

#

peak

pseudo sedge
#

i do wanna point out: last i checked in r5e1 splits get fucked anyway cause of cell movement, so it is even harder to actually pull a useful theoretical best out of it

wraith marsh
#

so missing hub is "bad"

wraith marsh
hasty bobcat
#

i'd assume theoretical is sub 15

limber notch
#

sub 15 definitely seems possible

#

but theoretical max...

wraith marsh
#

I dont think weve had a single good C cell grab -> giant alarm split anyways

pseudo sedge
#

because of how much u move cell u basically have to look at difference between the error alarm start all the way to the 2nd last alarm door open

limber notch
wraith marsh
#

sub 15 is definitely possible but its very rng

pseudo sedge
#

actually glitched would look funny

limber notch
hasty bobcat
hasty bobcat
limber notch
#

ig that's kinda how speedrunning gtfo goes at a very high level

limber notch
wraith marsh
#

nah I Mean like

#

VERY rng

mellow hedge
#

our 16:55 lost 1.5 mins in charger because we had a double down from second room enemies and had to get revived by cell people. also had a down after surge at the end

hasty bobcat
#

how many keys is that

wraith marsh
#

res rng is also very high on r5e1

#

because you need to find most res in every start split

pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

sub 15 is very much possible

hasty bobcat
#

2 keys a cell

mellow hedge
#

also we had a K key

hasty bobcat
#

good hub

mellow hedge
pseudo sedge
#

sub 15 r5e1 is... insane rng compared to sub 11 r3d1

wraith marsh
#

H key (rare), D key (not too bad but still under 50%), C cell (really bad), good ammo spawn positions in a lot of zones

#

good surge and class 3 scans

brittle schooner
hasty bobcat
#

ngl

#

D close cell

#

is fine

wraith marsh
#

class 3 can lose so much time from bottom splits

#

D close cell does seem fine from what I Experienced last night

wraith marsh
#

but is still like 5-10 seconds

brittle schooner
wraith marsh
#

you dont run E key

hasty bobcat
#

reset

mellow hedge
#

reset lmao

brittle schooner
#

fair enuf

wraith marsh
#

hence why it sucks

mellow hedge
#

split strat runs d key

wraith marsh
#

FUCK resetting

mellow hedge
#

chill i think this is a partial reason you don tlike split

#

where as for me idc about resetting

gaunt nacelle
wraith marsh
#

what we did last night was fine

#

which was only resetting for second key

#

my limit is when we start resetting for both keys

#

im not 0 tolerance, just low tolerance

limber notch
#

i'm not comparing them at face value

mellow hedge
limber notch
#

i'm just saying that both runs at some point come down to just rng

wraith marsh
#

yeah apparently not

#

LOL

mellow hedge
#

lmao

id say its probably like a 1/4 for a D key

wraith marsh
#

I think that was the odds yea

#

so resetting for only that is fine

mellow hedge
#

in logs its a 1/3

#

but like

wraith marsh
#

and obv we dont reset when cell is bad we just play it out

mellow hedge
#

skewed a bit towards e

pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

because if you game out the time loss isnt as big as charger

#

like ever

#

if charger plays super well you are always positive

wraith marsh
#

sub 15 r5e1 is like

limber notch
wraith marsh
#

sub 10:20 r3d1

#

probably

pseudo sedge
#

r5e1 surely is worse

#

keep in mind we had the rng for sub 10:20 r3d1 in less than 3 hours

mellow hedge
#

r5e1 is worse

wraith marsh
#

mmm yeah you probably right

mellow hedge
#

we ran for 4 hours

#

and had many many good paces

#

we almost had a 10:1x

limber notch
#

it is worse, but both are rng-dependant.

mellow hedge
#

genuinely might be a sub 10 thing

mellow hedge
wraith marsh
#

I could see it

limber notch
wraith marsh
#

honestly im not fully sure on how much time is lost to scan rng on the alarms in r5e1

#

I know class 3 and surge get pretty bad

#

giant alarm is fairly consistent

mellow hedge
limber notch
pseudo sedge
# limber notch that doesn't refute my point... :P

I'm saying the rng is so far worse for r5e1 that u just cant compare. There's a massive difference in between a 30hour grind to get the rng for a run and then loose it cause one person made 1 fuckup vs spend 1 hour in r3d1 and get it. And you know you will get it because it is giga free

mellow hedge
limber notch
#

not really

mellow hedge
#

every level has rng

#

no matter what

wraith marsh
#

these days? yeah it matters on a lot of them

limber notch
#

unless you count logs reset as rng

potent portal
#

is failing the third mission 5 times a bad win rate?

limber notch
#

on easier levels you just run through

pseudo sedge
#

it's like saying "sub 4 r1a1 is rng" because u can in theory get a worst key + worst hsu

mellow hedge
#

even without logs, every level has rng

limber notch
#

there aren't many mistakes you can make

#

on r5e1 getting downed can be a huge time loss

#

but on like some a-b level

#

you're practically never getting down

#

if you play right

pseudo sedge
#

can confirm getting downed in r3d1 is a ~35sec timeloss xdddddd

limber notch
#

oof

mellow hedge
wraith marsh
#

charger scouts are scary man

pseudo sedge
wraith marsh
#

dont sleep on them

#

12 damage punch, almost a nightmare

#
  • no tongue
mellow hedge
#

i actually didnt know their punch was actually dangerous

wraith marsh
#

I know from r7d2 mainly

mellow hedge
#

i thought it was like 4% lol

wraith marsh
#

bc everyone ignores them when they get pulled

limber notch
limber notch
#

scans is fair

pseudo sedge
limber notch
#

idk about enemies

mellow hedge
pseudo sedge
#

in r4a3 good enemy rng vs bad enemy rng can be a 20s difference

#

or maybe less

wraith marsh
#

brb going to class

fringe garden
#

charger scouts are very dangerous because they deal psychic dmg since they look like bbcs, causing misevaluation of threats

hasty bobcat
#

is it the double punch

mellow hedge
#

double punch is a whole ass giant lick

hasty bobcat
#

do they punch u ones?

#

cuz charger punch for 4

limber notch
hasty bobcat
#

and they punch twice

limber notch
#

maybe it's a couple specific levels

#

i'd have to see for myself ig

wraith marsh
pseudo sedge
fringe garden
#

"i watched a lot of speedruns" ie the runs that actually made it through the rng filter

wraith marsh
#

Good way of putting it

pseudo sedge
#

and that run never gets posted: cause the player died and run is 1min behind if they kept goin

junior latch
wraith marsh
#

The tolerance is generally higher on e tiers cuz dying is expected

#

But the timeless is the same

hasty bobcat
#

let's put it that way

#

WR rng

#

for r3d1 is better

#

speed comp rng

limber notch
hasty bobcat
#

for r5e1 is better

#

much better

wraith marsh
#

There is simply less rng checks, correct

gaunt nacelle
#

sent a vid in media noby

#

i think Eva still suffers from PTSD lol

limber notch
#

yeah, that one is kind of tough

junior latch
gaunt nacelle
#

post a like 10 mins vid on just "how the run ended" type stuff

mellow hedge
gaunt nacelle
#

they said A-B tier

#

not C tier

#

average frosty moment

mellow hedge
#

okay well

#

i didnt read

#

anyway

gaunt nacelle
#

lol

mellow hedge
#

watching and actually doing is much different

limber notch
mellow hedge
#

but you're wrong

limber notch
#

it has a shit ton of enemies, that's true

mellow hedge
#

is basically what im saying

pseudo sedge
#

frosty

#

r8a2

#

main only

#

enemy rng

mellow hedge
#

oh yeah

#

lmao

hasty bobcat
#

team what's the argument

junior latch
#

well its supposed to be a C tier

gaunt nacelle
junior latch
#

but just look at R7A1 (meme level difficulty normally)

speedrun has 4 giants on path? well fuck neonate mover

gaunt nacelle
#

for speedruns

hasty bobcat
#

well obv

#

it's less rng

#

for best time

mellow hedge
#

what

#

no

gaunt nacelle
#

but there still is

pseudo sedge
#

depends on what u define as best time

hasty bobcat
#

A-B's usually get less rng checks

pseudo sedge
#

if it is theoretical best yes

mellow hedge
#

also saying "without logs" is like taking away 80% of rng

pseudo sedge
#

if it is world record no

hasty bobcat
#

theoretical

#

best inputs type beat

mellow hedge
#

"r1a1 without logs has no rng" FUCKING WHAT

pseudo sedge
#

then yea cause less rng checks

rose nova
#

if i dont look it doesnt exist

pseudo sedge
#

me resetting cause 1 scan decided to go front on the class 4

#

and we only had best key and D hsu

hasty bobcat
#

yeye

junior latch
hasty bobcat
#

some rngs are still fucked

#

r1a1 is a great example

#

it depends on a level honestly

pseudo sedge
#

tho i will say: that is comparing to wr

#

because if we compare to theoretical: r1a1 is ~30s behind, (i think, eva can confirm?) while r5e1 is probably 2minutes and a half at least

hasty bobcat
#

yes

#

it is comparing to wr

mellow hedge
#

you can play literally every level without rng

#

you just

#

run

pseudo sedge
#

honestly r5e1 could be more

wraith marsh
#

So the argument is its easier to optimize easier levels

pseudo sedge
#

cause theoretical keys are mental

wraith marsh
#

?

limber notch
pseudo sedge
#

not really....

#

cause what does optimizing mean...

mellow hedge
#

tgb theoretical A second key is a 1/150000

pseudo sedge
#

get close to absolute theoretical best? get close to humanly possible?

pseudo sedge
#

absolute time diff? relative time diff?

limber notch
pseudo sedge
#

there's not really a way to compare optimizing different levels in between eachother

hasty bobcat
#

enemy rng is cooked

pseudo sedge
#

just look at optimizing r1a1 vs optimizing r8e2 as the biggest opposing sides

mellow hedge
limber notch
#

although ig one would have to analyze how much of a time sink bad enemy spawns do

pseudo sedge
#

they are literally almost different games

limber notch
pseudo sedge
#

at least when speedran

mellow hedge
#

bad enemy spawns

#

can end a run

#

door giant?

hasty bobcat
#

ye

mellow hedge
#

okay theres 10 seconds gone

wraith marsh
#

I still despise door breaks ngl

junior latch
#

R5A1 stam on a single surviving enemy is probably the worst rng for a single weak enemy

wraith marsh
#

One of my least favorite parts of speeds

junior latch
#

they can be used strategically and the break is sick in itself

mellow hedge
limber notch
#

especially if it's stuck on a box somewhere

wraith marsh
#

They're incredibly forcing

#

And very far removed from normal play

junior latch
pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

but like

#

yeah idek lmao

junior latch
wraith marsh
#

Ye

limber notch
#

speedrunning was never close to normal gameplay

pseudo sedge
#

am i the only one who views speedrunning this game as a resource management simulator?

limber notch
#

unless the game was made for speedrunning

pseudo sedge
#

with resetting?

junior latch
fringe garden
#

this game is a resource management game

#

the resources are just unintuitive

limber notch
#

it's pretty intuitive, no?

junior latch
#

and time

limber notch
#

how to manage them properly can be hard ofc

#

but hard =/= unintuitive

junior latch
#

also

#

sanity

pseudo sedge
fringe garden
#

space, stam, reload

pseudo sedge
#

but i cant name them off rn

#

cause i need to shower

junior latch
pseudo sedge
#

safety is another one

#

safety/risk

junior latch
#

some stuff just correlates in interesting ways

limber notch
#

risk* is just lack of resources

fringe garden
#

reload is different from time because sometimes you have downtime where reload doesn't matter

junior latch
#

if you rly wanna break it down

#

R8C2 is a good example

#

we do approach some stiff in a safer manner, dropping time
but we safe res, safety and later down the line, time

pseudo sedge
junior latch
wraith marsh
#

This is where the blackhops come in

fringe garden
#

so true

hasty bobcat
#

yes !!

wraith marsh
#

Spending stam over time

junior latch
#

risk (hp)

#

gain (time)

junior latch
wraith marsh
#

Risk is just heightened resource spending in general

junior latch
#

the most interesting risks imo are risking time, for time

limber notch
#

isn't that just trading hp for time? it's not like risk is a separate resource but the act of taking risks is an act of managing resources

#

but i'm getting pedantic

pseudo sedge
#

risk is the chance to spend more resources for gaining time usually

junior latch
pseudo sedge
#

which resource u spend depends on situation

junior latch
#

but its honestly semantics

pseudo sedge
#

ehhhh

junior latch
#

also tgb

#

answer my dm

limber notch
worn kiln
limber notch
#

semanctics is fair

#

how long is the r5e1 comp gonna last btw?

junior latch
#

probably 1 week again

limber notch
#

i'm gonna cry

pseudo sedge
#

god damn

#

our team is gonna have only 2 sessions at best xddd

wraith marsh
#

Should be plenty

junior latch
#

2 at best is stretching it
it might be 1

wraith marsh
#

Frosty is trained up already

junior latch
#

but yea

#

sub 20

pseudo sedge
#

idc about challenge

#

i wanna convince eva that wr is worth it xddddd

junior latch
#

I mean im down to run it at some point for DA TIME

#

but you know we have unoptimized stuff left

#

R5C1, R5D1 and such

pseudo sedge
worn kiln
#

how long would the competition have to be for you to have time for more runs

pseudo sedge
worn kiln
#

hmmm

junior latch
#

our group has to meet in our mornings and australian evening. But im busy during the whole week at that time

but its fine @worn kiln we should get it

and if we dont then we just skill issued

limber notch
#

i wish it started like a month later 😭

worn kiln
#

i mean theres no reason for it to be one week specifically

#

it was just the time period i decided when i first did one

#

really it could be a whole month

gaunt nacelle
#

soy whens the next speedrun event after this one?

worn kiln
#

june

gaunt nacelle
#

might be able to send in a time for that one

junior latch
#

I think a month is just too long

#

june??

limber notch
junior latch
#

damn

worn kiln
junior latch
#

fair

silver spade

but it would work in theory

junior latch
#

oh wait

worn kiln
#

yk what i mean

junior latch
#

I read that as challenge as a whole

gaunt nacelle
#

lol

wraith marsh
#

2 weeks prolly fine right

worn kiln
#

there will be a non speedrun comp in may

gaunt nacelle
#

and no sneak peeks im guessing

worn kiln
worn kiln
junior latch
#

I swear

#

people are just not gonna run it

gaunt nacelle
#

lol

junior latch
#

even tho theres like 80 votes

wraith marsh
#

True

gaunt nacelle
#

i wanna run it but i need an avengers level team lol

junior latch
#

Id guess 3 true teams
some fill ins

and then maybe some trying to get carried

gaunt nacelle
#

(me on that last one)

limber notch
#

tbf, r5e1 is a spike in difficulty compared to r3d1

#

so way less people will be competent enough to run it without getting carried

wraith marsh
#

I think we've done ok building interest

worn kiln
#

theres always gonna be less people running when it comes to an E tier

limber notch
#

interest is not an issue as much as required skill level

mellow hedge
#

soy you should have a sub 15 role

#

surely

worn kiln
#

plus the first one probably had more people running cuz it was the first time, and it was to comemorate speedrunning channel shutting down

worn kiln
gaunt nacelle
limber notch
#

if it was like an a/b/c level speedrun, there'd be way more people even attempting most likely (assuming the time threshold is reasonable)

#

but also not as fun most likely

worn kiln
gaunt nacelle
#

Oh

#

Fairs ig

worn kiln
wraith marsh
#

Sub 15 would actually be 1-2 groups

mellow hedge
#

this is why i said one POV isnt really great

junior latch
mellow hedge
#

I personally would enjoy it a lot

junior latch
#

PPOV?

limber notch
worn kiln
junior latch
#

Soy

wraith marsh
#

Lol

limber notch
#

it could also be a different kind of challenge (with specific loadouts / restrictions)

mellow hedge
#

LOL

worn kiln
#

I was gonna say R1A1

#

but i already know the answer to that

limber notch
#

crouch only, no flaslight, no melee

#

🙂

junior latch
#

thats legit the only A tier record I dont have

I am probably one of the mentally deranged people whod do that

worn kiln
limber notch
#

make the funny roles have funny colors

worn kiln
#

they do

limber notch
#

heeh?

worn kiln
#

but im limited on colour options

limber notch
#

i'm uncolored :P

#

or are you talking about the new ones

junior latch
#

yea you have the small role

worn kiln
gaunt nacelle
junior latch
worn kiln
#

challenge veteran is uncoloured

junior latch
#

theres great A or B tiers for general runs

worn kiln
#

challenge sage and the new role are coloured but limited time

limber notch
#

ah

#

ic

worn kiln
#

anyway, moot point cuz who cares

#

i dont really care about appealing to everyone

limber notch
#

appealing to everyone never works

junior latch
#

R2B2, R3B2, R4A2pe, R4B1sec, R5A2pe, R6B1, R8B2, R8A2sec, R8B4 (altho tbf, the last 2 here are rly C and D tier)

junior latch
#

R1A1 has very very stupid rng

#

ranging from a 2:30 to 4:00

#

other levels have far smaller and less bs (also in % for rng) differences

#

say R3A1

#

or R8A1

#

the latter even has a small lil trick at least

but for the comp it wouldnt really make sense to allow them cuz there wouldnt be any role given

i also made a question which you have to answer with "sub 50" "sub 25" or "sub 20" so youd hit a hurdle with that

#

im sure you can find a team to get sub 50 with

if i can do it, anyone can

gaunt nacelle

Uhhhhhh not rn

Am kinda eepy

But uhhh like 16 hours¿

Tbh I might be busy with the speedrunning thingy unless it’s in like 16 hours

fair enough the speedrunning takes priority

gaunt nacelle

Yea we are still getting a team together

when sub 15

pure belfry

when R5A1 100%

gaunt nacelle

Lemme get the precise number rq

gaunt nacelle

So yea 16:00 for my time which is in 15 hours

pure belfry
#

I don't need a carry perse, just cant do the level solo. I can most likely reasonably contribute in a team

gaunt nacelle

Yea we will pub it most likely

But ik my way around it

At least the part before checkpoint

#

After that

#

Might be a bit 🥴

pure belfry

pubbing a sub 15 of R5E1 sounds like a bad time

we can duo R6BX
