As you need the chest and craftsman at the final boss

#

Wr is about 10 minutes for R1 Co-op

#

so if you are completely optimized

arctic nacelle
#

When you say full do you mean the ||cannonball boss|| or ||is the actual full the 4th realm thingy||

arctic nacelle
#

10 minutes for a run huh

proud fable
#

thats the world record for 4 player speedruns

#

And you need 4 players to achieve this

arctic nacelle
#

solo i take about an hour so i was assuming 40m per run for a 4man

#

i guess 4man goes through faster

proud fable
#

World record speedrun for solo is like 6 minutes

#

Regardless it would take about 121500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 runs to get this absolute limit on weapon level

#

Like I said, the number is actually higher because I didnt calculate some of the shit

#

Regardless

#

that number up there is one hundred twenty-one unseptuagintillion, five hundred septuagintillion,

arctic nacelle
#

that sounds like a dinosaur

#

its not a number anymore

proud fable
#

Million is 1, billion is 2, trillion is 3, etc

#

that is 71 and 70

wispy lodge
#

will gunfire reborn ever have mod support ?

proud fable
#

probably not

#

the devs don't like the idea of mods/cheating

#

and the game is also almost completely unmoddable

#

idk why I just know it is

wispy lodge
#

would love to have mods to spice up the difficulty

proud fable
#

ye this game is quite easy bc no balance

#

unfortunately all we can do is put self imposed challenges upon ourselves

#

Also watch out when talking abt mods

#

Rule 7 can bitecha in the ass

wispy lodge
#

I see

proud fable
#

Yes

#

Good luck trying to make this game a challenge lmao

#

Make it a challenge, not spending 400 years per enemy because you do two damage per nerf dart you shoot from a foundry

wispy lodge
#

ill take infinite scaling reincarnation at this point

#

just give them more stat the higher you go and let it go up infinitely

proud fable
#

Yeah

#

the scaling in this game is minimal

#

compared to the way your damage scales, at least

#

And please, for the love of god, do NOT recommend the game looping for more scaling

wispy lodge
#

cant even stack items, wouldn't looping create more problems

proud fable
#

yep

#

You'd get all ascensions and scrolls, enemy scaling would pass damage cap, you'd eventually become invincible due to a combination of scrolls and ascensions, etc

thorny parcel
#

Problem with infinite scaling Reincarnation levels is how scaling is done in the first place.

#

It's well known that you tear through act 3 and 4, but act 1 and 2 will tear through you a lot of the time instead.

wispy lodge
#

they could just make act 1 scale significantly lower than the others

#

dont they already do something like that

thorny parcel
#

Yes. Act 1 gets an extra 0.5x multiplier per level, act 2 gets an extra 1.0x, and act 3 and 4 get 1.6x. Act 4 gets 2.1x if Mysterious Jokul is active.

#

Despite this, act 1 still punts more players back to the starting screen than act 3 and 4 do, besides Elite Gatherings of course.

wispy lodge
#

i'd still take that over having nothing

thorny parcel
#

Oh right, another problem with infinite scaling Reincarnation I just recalled.

#

Multiplayer revives will still be king, and Painkiller will still trivialize most enemies.

#

So you'd just gravitate towards those more often.

#

You'd have to do self-imposed challenges to not use them, which we already need to do now to avoid easy Reincarnation 8.

#

Technically yes, there will be less OP things compared to the scaled enemies.

But early acts will shred you to pieces before you can become OP, or you just breeze through them using certain specific OP things that remain OP.

#

Plus there's no telling how much scaling you'd need to even make OP things not seem OP anymore.

#

I'm not even sure if 5 times the enemy health will be able to make things seem reasonable, and that would take...

punches in some numbers

Reincarnation 42 to achieve in act 3, or Reincarnation 40 for act 4 Mysterious Jokul.

wispy lodge
#

which is why you let them go on infinitely right

#

like right now I wish I could play r8/SA4 on 4 players health difficulty

#

but can't even do that

#

because lone wolf only adjust mob spawn, not their stat

thorny parcel
#

For perspective, Reincarnation 40 act 1 would give enemies +280% health and +253% damage.

#

Compared to reincarnation 8.

#

Just to maybe achieve non-OP levels of power in later acts.

wispy lodge
#

im ok with that

#

I know its not for all but for those that enjoy the gameplay loop and just wanna keep climbing

proud fable
#

R40 seems veri big

thorny parcel
#

Hope you like getting one-shot by literally everything in Longling, just so you might not one-shot everything in Jokul.

proud fable
#

but less than 4x hp and damag

#

Damn

#

Yeah longling would be a pain

#

And arsonists

#

Oooh shit arsonists

#

However judging by how easy lategame is, R40 would still be easy with most builds, apart from longling

#

However, it would further seperate the Op builds from the non OP ones

#

Things like T&G Tiger, Cards owl, spiritual flame monke, atomic dog, etc would still be op

#

But like, every other build would be shit

thorny parcel
#

On R40 with Mysterious Jokul, Pole Monarch would have 124,416,000 health, in solo.

Likely the sole reason he'd still be able to attack you is if your first attack hits the damage cap, which wouldn't send him running for his aura jars.

#

But if your first attack does Combustion or rapidly hits, pfft, he'll still be running.

proud fable
#

Fuck wrong gifs

#

whatever

#

I like 4-shotting monarch!

thorny parcel
#

Hold on, let me check his damage threshold...

#

75% HP he rushes to the first jar.

#

So you'd need to do 31,104,000 damage to make him immediately go for a jar, which is very within Combustion or rapid hits' range.

proud fable
#

Damn

#

so instead of 4 shotting monarch

#

you 4 shot one phase of monarch

thorny parcel
#

Or 1 shot with Spiritual Flame.

#

Or just Aura of Venom him.

proud fable
#

Or card pirb

#

Sending hundreds of cards that deal millions of damage each is a pretty good way to destroy anything

#

Even the final boss

thorny parcel
#

In any case, it'll probably make the only things that'll stop you from winning be Longling Tomb, and Jokul's elite gathering.

#

Let me crunch some more numbers. Now I don't have Mysterious Jokul's damage bonus, if any, but...

proud fable
#

Jokuls elite gathering will only be an issue if you don't have that crazy ass build

#

That crushes everything

#

Longling will still be hell though

thorny parcel
#

Jokul's elite gathering will have all the thunderous stalkers and mandrill cavalries have... +405% health and +217% damage.

proud fable
#

Dam

thorny parcel
#

You thought getting touched by a bleeding mandrill cavalry was bad now.

#

Wait till it kills you 3 times faster.

proud fable
#

I still don't think it'd be too much of an issue though

#

Like I said, this mode would really separate the OP builds and the non OP ones

thorny parcel
#

Yeah, because any OP build could be able to blaze through their 5 times health pool.

thorny parcel
#

Multiplayer on the other hand...

proud fable
#

Think of spiritual flame and card pirb builds

thorny parcel
#

This elite gathering is already a great equalizer with multiplayer revives.

proud fable
#

how fast they destroy things

#

its only 5x slower

#

1 second x 5 is 5 seconds

thorny parcel
#

That's specifically the one I'm talking about.

proud fable
#

3 mandarill cavalries destroying the ozone layer by melting metric tons of snow is a pretty good way to kill 4 people

thorny parcel
#

There have been quite a few complaints about how much harder they are because they destroy multiplayer groups who rely on revives.

#

Now imagine if they killed everyone borderline instantly.

proud fable
#

Easy game not easy!111!11!!!!!11!11

proud fable
#

In multiplayer the build wouldnt really matter

#

due to revive spam not requiring an OP build

thorny parcel
#

That's the problem with this elite gathering though.

#

The mandrill cavalry severely disrupts any revive attempts. That's why they're such a problem. They're just about the only enemy that does this as such a consistent tate.

proud fable
#

Because of their knockback

thorny parcel
#

Exactly.

proud fable
#

and their fire trail kills anyone who stands in one spot

thorny parcel
#

So everyone would instantly die, and the stragglers who didn't instantly die will fail to revive anyone, then instantly die.

proud fable
#

And then that one guy in the back is screaming bc they thought everyone else could handle the wrath of 3 mandils

thorny parcel
#

Sure it would definitely be hard and make OP builds not nearly as OP, but it really shouldn't have to resort to this kind of powercreep BS in the first place.

proud fable
#

yeah

#

Theres no easy way to fix the issue of OP builds without further drowning out the lesser ones

#

Increasing enemy HP by a lot would be an ok way to fix a bunch of em

#

But then frenzied shark runs would suffer more 😔

thorny parcel
#

The devs have dug this game into a hole, and they won't, or can't, dig out of it.

proud fable
#

Or even

thorny parcel
#

Well, they try to, but the "we'll dig out by digging down!" mentality isn't really working.

no

am I misunderstanding this then?

"but they will be able to crossplay with PC Game Pass."

gusty mountain

pc game pass =/= steam

does steam even have a game pass? don't know what I'm missing here

proud fable
#

its like xbox game pass or somethin

#

except not for xbox

solid quarry
#

I'm so confused lmao

velvet hamlet
#

okay look

#

there's a game pass subscription for PC, and a game pass subscription for Xbox

#

both are technically called "Xbox Game Pass"

#

but on different platforms

#

anyone on Xbox Game Pass on any platform can play with anyone also on Xbox Game Pass on any platform

#

Steam is a whole other thing, completely separate from game pass

solid quarry
#

ohhh

#

got it

#

thanks for dumbing it down for me

#

bummer tho

velvet hamlet
#

np, dw bout it, Microsoft is stupid w names sometimes

solid quarry
#

any plans on "fixing that"

velvet hamlet
# solid quarry bummer tho

yeah it's mainly cause the server setup is different and because version of the game that game pass is running on is about 2 years old

velvet hamlet
#

even then because of how differently the servers work

#

most likely never

solid quarry
#

so all the recent characters won't be aviable on xbox?

velvet hamlet
#

they will

thorny parcel
#

They may eventually become available on Xbox, but due to how 505 Games has been treating it, the Xbox version hasn't received a single content update since it was released almost a year ago.

velvet hamlet
#

eventually™

thorny parcel
#

If they do come, do not think it'll be at a reasonable rate. It would be more like a random surprise when you least expect it.

We are working with everything we got to solve that
I am as pissed as the next of us. We can only ask for patience

Meanwhile

Trying to get Zi's Frame and the game set me up all nice in 1-1 already

#

Stone Skin into Ying Yang and from an event the Piercing as reward

#

Guess this is a fine Legendary only run

And screw you too game

#

Curses fail the challenge

This time

No curses

Spicy start for 2-1

#

This run is popping off like crazy

proven sage

looks like you won

proud needle
#

lol

#

even made it sub 20

#

And I did take all vaults till Fjord and all goblets till end

#

Monarch was like a 15 seconds fight

#

The -1704 Essence was me gambling at an search enhanced scroll

#

gave me only normals...

#

FYI the cost for searching goes up to something like 800 probably at the end

median prairie
#

Its ~4k ess to do all 15 searches and the chest is heavily weighted toward normal rarity scrolls

crimson plume
#

Yeah it used to be crazy high

median prairie
#

Cuz it used to have no limit on top of harsher scaling lmao

#

Could literally eat thru ur 25k in 20 seconds without truly realizing

Thats why I haven't been at the soul cap in a while AoBai_lose

I just had my fastest run ever

#

lone wolf 4 rein 8, doing every vault, and everything and it took me 28:46

#

the owl is kinda broken (and by kinda I mean extremely brokenly OP)

#

and this was only like my 5th run with the owl

#

and on the run prior to that I easily beat my total damage record. getting almost 2B damage in a solo run

#

also with the owl

#

owl comes out and within just a couple runs I easily beat all my previous records set over the over 500 hours I have in this game. I really hope the owl gets nerved extremely hard

Theres many things like that

but yeah I also wonder how many there are

almost every time a box is next to a ledge

Need more Cowbell Bun Drops, most I have seen so far in one spot.

pine trout
#

damn playing rein 8 with all modifiers and no overconsumption is dire at the beginning

#

robust elite horsehead? Just give me a lava pit to jump into please

crimson plume
#

Modifiers make the game easier I'm gonna honest. Jokul can fuck you over but gives enough benefits to make it more of an advantage

pine trout
#

I mean yeah, if I pick Overconsumption + <broken character blessing> then I never lose

#

but I decided to pick all the modifiers and then not make myself OP at first

crimson plume
#

I hate overconsumption. I only use it on speedruns.

pine trout
#

I like how it speeds up the first stage
and speeds my character up, I hate the base movespeed

Plus he actually received a buff not too long ago.

Soooo...

I'm glad they're buffing such underpowered characters like that

#

really the owl had no chance in the meta compared to other characters being able to only delete everything with the press of a button

#

17.5m damage in one Hell pellet, yeah I'm thinking things are well balanced

harsh wagon
#

perfectly balanced

#

average warframe moment

pine trout
#

wait yeah it was only 17m

crimson plume
#

pretty sure that's just per shot, not pellet

proud needle
#

Thats neither

#

Thats highest dmg

#

if you look at the shotgun icon it gives details of that weapon

crimson plume
#

yeah. but considering they're using a 30+ level hell its probably the damage from the hell

pine trout
#

from my experience the game records the highest single instance of damage, it doesn't add up all the pellets

crimson plume
#

Pretty sure it doesn. as it adds up damage from a shot + combustion damage and counts them together

#

I think it adds everything from a single shot together

I'm convinced

crimson plume
#

It's rare to get "one shot" it's likely multiple things hitting you at once, learning to understand enemies and dodge is a big part of the game

thorny parcel
#

Exception is high difficulties, where getting one-shot is one of few reasons why anything except bad runs will fail.

Hello! What's your fav weapon with Owl?

thorny basalt
#

I like mortar and tiger cannon

#

For SA at least

novel token
#

Ahh, yes. Makes sense

#

How do you know if your character needs more Shield or more HP?

thorny basalt
#

Like

#

Are you asking because of the red chest that offers it?

novel token
#

Yes

thorny basalt
#

Well, I'm not sure myself.
Personally, I usually go shield on everyone except Ao Bai
Everyone else I believe can benefit from Shield more than HP most of the time.

clever olive
#

I always go Shield because Shield regens out of combat, HP you have to get bun pickups. Bird having Armor I am not sure.

novel token
#

And how do you know which character "needs" the Flesh and Bone scroll, which makes your Shield your HP?

thorny basalt
#

Ao Bai

thorny parcel
#

That being said, most heroes focus on Shield/Armor right off the bat.

novel token
#

Ahh, i see

teal wave
#

paranormality doubles your shield and should only be taken on 70+ shield characters

#

characters like ao bai and nona should NEVER take paranormality

#

flesh and bones will consume your shield and turn them into hp so any character can run it besides maybe bird builds

#

in the entire game the only scroll that heals you quickly enough consistently for long periods of time to prevent death is sanguine and fire enthusiast and theyre both for health

#

shield regeneration scrolls like backup shield, phantom skin and gold medal cant sustain you during intense elite rooms

teal wave
#

Reincarnation 8

severe geode
#

I was only on Nightmare

teal wave
#

damage is nice but taking survivability ascensions is also very important

#

something SlightRNG said, the general damage in game is set in mind of your default health with no scrolls, as soon as you pick up one scroll that makes you take more damage you'll notice a huge increase in damage taken which usually ends up in one shots or weak enemies doing hundreds of hitpoints worth of damage

#

things in nightmare can still kill you pretty quickly if you're not carefull

severe geode
#

And I thought I was

proud fable
#

(15% of your shield/armor gained with every secondary/dash/primary skill used)

#

15% is still pretty little

unless ur running like atomic dog

#

Nona shoots pretty fast with heavy modification

Considering you're regenning 3% with every rocket because of sanguine relic

#

15% is not pretty little

U right

#

sorry didnt mean to sound aggressive

proud fable
#

with paranormality though

yea its more effective regeneration with higher shield counts

However yes less setup is needed with sanguine

# unique iron What's a good build with the new owl guy

in my opinion, build for single shot mag synergy
get Hell(fastest one shot reload) , 1 shot mag gemini, etc

occult booster is a funny blessing due to the reroll, if you lone wolf you can either go overconsumption + booster to make the game overall easy or steady profit + occult booster for a harder beginning but potentially insane endgame
get a shitton of scrolls, reroll the bad ones, get a chunky single shot weapon to synergize with the rest of his kit

later on you'll spam cards and primary just to get the bonuses to weapon damage, it scales out of control

thorny parcel
#

That's because no one cared about shield when it was Dog exclusive.

mossy sequoia
#

idk what you mean, 110 shield is op

thorny parcel
#

Even if you ignore it being the lowest of any hero (that can be "fixed" with scrolls and red chests), he's also got miserable shield recovery.

mossy sequoia
#

still want his shield removed

#

screw the consequences

#

and don't you dare monkey paw me

thorny parcel
#

🙂

mossy sequoia
#

I knew it was coming

thorny parcel
#

Wish granted.

Ao Bai's shield is replaced with armor. None of his skills, talents, ascensions or blessings are updated to reflect this.

A finger on the monkey paw curls inward.

mossy sequoia
#

replace dogs healing talent with a talent that just starts him off with og blue tier fleshy bones

thorny parcel
#

But yeah, worst shield by far. Even Tao's shield which has a slower recovery % still lets her start recharges when killing enemies or recover with Sword Guard.

#

And it would also mean Ao Bai's HP ascensions would become useless.

mossy sequoia
#

they weren't already?

thorny parcel
#

Surprisingly no, because any healing he does gets reflected on them.

#

And Life Power exists.

mossy sequoia
#

oh yeah, dog blessings

#

the support system that keeps him kicking

thorny parcel
#

At least he's got a support system though. Birb has to suffer through mediocrity and only that.

mossy sequoia
#

true

thorny parcel
#

And possibly the only exception is very dangerous to use initially.

mossy sequoia
#

poor cat, no op exclusive blessing

thorny parcel
#

He doesn't need one. He's got OP general blessings instead.

mossy sequoia
#

make his nade blessing have his nades apply all elements at 3x the proc time

thorny parcel
#

Well, and stunlocking everything, I suppose.

#

Less OP, more "you'll eventually win".

mossy sequoia
#

even crazier

#

make his base speed 5.2

thorny parcel
#

You know the devs will.

mossy sequoia
#

one of the few buffs I'm on board with

thorny parcel
#

Personally I'd prefer it if it was something else, like an underperforming ascension or a talent tweak.

#

Maybe his 4th talent Energy Charge recovers shield and gives a movement speed buff when hitting with Energy Orb.

mossy sequoia
#

that could be nice

#

a nice little snack for the og

thorny parcel
#

Or Backpack Expansion gives permanent movement speed, which has become hilariously powercrept by Fox, Owl AND Red Panda.

mossy sequoia
#

what's that? Fox buff time?

#

deal 5x damage, but you can deal friendly fire

thorny parcel
#

Yep. We're giving Fox extra movement speed with Raging Inferno blessing, because said blessing was just too inferior compared to other hero blessings.

#

+2% per stack, up to +60%.

mossy sequoia
#

2 minute timer per stack

thorny parcel
#

I'm not joking about Raging Inferno being weak, by the way. It genuinely was worse than stuff like the old Unstoppable Momentum blessing.

mossy sequoia
#

RUN 3 BABY

#

element users are feasting

thorny parcel
#

Ember Eruption and Solid Shell are the best choices, obviously.

pine trout
#

what's the math on Total Eradication, anyway?

#

it's probably poop regardless but I never even thought about it

thorny parcel
#

Pretty sure it's just a scaling bonus based on their total missing HP + Shields/Armor.

#

So gives +0% when the enemy is undamaged, up to +79.9% when the enemy is almost dead, for level 1.

pine trout
#

ech

thorny parcel
#

50% total HP is +40%.

#

Don't forget, this would actually be pretty decent if it wasn't for the fact that one-shotting everything is the norm.

pine trout
#

just too many additive damage bonuses around for such a tiny conditional one imo

thorny parcel
#

It's actually an average additive one, at least compared to ascensions.

pine trout
#

maybe I'm spoiled by pyro/acidominance, where the damage bonus is not really the important part
it's the insane level 3 boost

thorny parcel
#

Average of +40% is the same as stuff like Pyro/electro/aciddominance, so...

#

The only thing it's really missing is an insane level 3 effect.

#

So it's kinda like Electrodominance if you think about it.

#

Level 3 effect is alright but not great, and the situation that you'd use it at its most effectiveness rarely exists.

Is there a name for the art style this game uses?

mossy sequoia

Its light cell shading iirc

brave pivot

I feel like they use textures very sparingly. Mostly working with just fully coloring in faces

mossy sequoia
#

More reliant on outlines to make things pop instead of shading/texture

brave pivot
#

yeah, often they create detail through more intricate meshes with just solidly coloured faces instead of textures

#

I was wondering if there was a specific name for that style

#

It is something often done in cel shading, but I don't think that is actually what cel shading means

#

cel shading really just describes that there no gradual shadows. instead whole aces have a monotone shading

I think

nope just one.

exotic cobalt

There's info I'm missing here >, >

maybe spiritual assault just has a natural max 1 exclusive without any targeted upgrades

hmm..

sick root

certified bruh moment but it is what it is

exotic cobalt
#

I always use Exclusive Inscription - but I swear 2 was the cap

sick root

I also kind of assumed that because a majority of the builds i've played recently have been skill damage builds, and I coincidentally got that one scroll that makes all weapons have 2 exclusives on a few of them

exotic cobalt
#

Well if it ain't a bigger point to use the exclusive inscription jade, I dunno what else is. Although I'll state I over-assumed seeing you have 2 exclusives in total...

Combustion is one of the things that gets you big numbers.

It's pretty strong.

thorny parcel
#

Miasma is more of a "bare minimum" damage.

Stacking it still kills most enemies reasonably fast, it's just any properly made build or even the half decent ones in Reincarnation will kill much faster.

#

You do Miasma if your damage sucks.

echo python
#

Ahhhh I see, So for someone like Ao Bai then Combustion is super strong.

most miasma I deal is just by pure accident because I use shock for damage debuff and fire+corrosion for damage

Yes.

do the exp drops on spiritual assault expire after some time?

#

asking cuz im curious if effective sweeper might be underated if yes

median prairie
#

XP doesnt expire or despawn, no

#

The most practical reason to use this jade is to get better performance/FPS if your playstyle ends up leaving tons of XP on the ground for long periods of time lmao

rough basin
#

aah, got it. that makes sense

median prairie
#

The intended reason is, like, dont have to run around as much to pick up stuff so its easier to level moment to moment. But every time there is a major break(10min, 20min, 30min) you automatically gather all XP anyway

rough basin
#

yeah

crimson plume
#

It should be a 1 slot imma be honest

median prairie
#

Yeah I’d def use it at 1x1

#

extra fps is worth a slot lol

rough basin
#

or it could be a default feature. no more picking up the exp but getting it direclty. but i like it this way too as it sounds nice if you get a lot

crimson plume
#

Auto xp would make sense as you get it all automatically anyway at the end of the stage

median prairie
#

Its likely not auto just for the sake of trying to keep you moving around/difficult to stay in one place

#

It actually does achieve that in the desert level since XP is so thin and you need to grab pretty much whatever drops in most instances.(and sweeper is a little better there ig) But for fjord, yeah its pretty whatever, might as well just be auto.

Yeah that's fair

But immortals take no damage...?

am I bein' gaslit? 0 damage numbers appear when harming an immortal during invincibility does it not?

#

and I don't mean damage numbers appearing as 0 - I mean literally nothing appears

crimson plume
#

Pretty sure it still counts but im not certain

#

But with the build when you're hitting everything for 10m you rack up the damage fast

Just tested, numbers don't appear but it still counts towards your total dmg.

# crimson plume Lmao what?

Yea.. i watched a Speedrun with the Owl.. and it was under 7 minutes. I copied the Link, give it to a friend and He said, it's fake. Time stops at treasures and He thinks, the enemies have less hp

median prairie
#

Unfortunately for your friend they are simply incorrect

crimson plume
#

Time stops when interacting with shops, treasures goblets etc.

#

and after a boss is killed

#

and in the beginning area of the stage

median prairie
crimson plume
#

But also i doubt it was under 7 minutes...

#

Isn't the WR for him atm like just about sub 10 in normal and R8

median prairie

Easily very possible if its an act3 quit out

And also sounds like it was probably actually R1 and not R8 but idk would probably help if @novel token could provide the link to the run

Fortunately its way harder to cheat in this game than minecraft lol

Well the game does generate off seeds

is there proof nobody figured out how to force a seed?

median prairie
#

In gunfire?

exotic cobalt
#

Yeah

#

it's procedural

median prairie
#

I dont think there is even a single percent of progress toward understanding RNG and seed generation in this game

exotic cobalt
#

If you force another load at a save point every time, the levels connect the same

#

which is a sign that there's something causing the predestined direction

median prairie
#

You mean via AltF4ing?

exotic cobalt
#

I guess it's a large stretch for me to say it's a seed - but name a procedural game that doesn't have a seed

median prairie
#

Of course but many games use different types of seeding

exotic cobalt
#

yus

#

I will state when a crash or so happened in the past, the scrolls were not the same - but the layout still stayed the same

#

so something is predestining things, but it doesn't seem to be "You WILL get this scroll at this time"

As far as I understand that is just randomness, as during Pity setup for speedrun files we explicitly use AltF4ing to reroll layouts more efficiently

#

If you were guaranteed the same set of layouts within a stage upon, say, hitting a campfire, this method wouldnt be possible

exotic cobalt
#

but that's what I'm sayin' o -o

#

I'd go through a level

#

4 or so stages of desert - some crash would happen

#

I'd go back, the same 4 stages had the same "Direction"

#

granted not everything stuck the same

#

but I assume a speedrunner would love levels that connected with minimal effort from room to room

median prairie
#

I’m meaning to say that you getting the same room layout again was just simple luck

exotic cobalt
#

given some of the runs I've seen, I guess I can't fault solid rng.

median prairie
#

If you wanted to affirm this, go to the 2-0 campfire, enter 2-1 to check your level layout, enter 2-2 to check your level layout and then AltF4

#

Repeat like ~3 times and see if your 2-1 and 2-2 are the same across all repeats.

gusty mountain
#

The level after the campfire will always be the same.

exotic cobalt
#

yeh I never abused alt-f4 . -. hence why I only took note of it during said crashes that happened to me

gusty mountain
#

I think the campfire and next level are loaded together.

exotic cobalt
#

Would make sense

gusty mountain
#

Or the campfire area is in the same area.

exotic cobalt
#

somewhat

median prairie
#

I’m still not 100% sure if this is true as I’m quite positive I’ve experienced the first layout changing

exotic cobalt
#

since nothing you could choose as a blessing of sorts could influence the very first room

#

although

median prairie
#

But I could just be misremembering

exotic cobalt
#

we have the scroll thing now

#

it could very much be something that existed pre-dlc pre-release

#

but I would bet the scroll choices now influence the first stage

gusty mountain
#

I remembering alt-f4ing to get the costs for enhanced scrolls.

#

First area was always the same, phantom peddler was just in a different spot each time.

exotic cobalt
#

I remember when people alt-f4'd off the first room... although I swear since the very beginning you could just exit to save essence?

#

or was that a change

median prairie
#

That was a change

exotic cobalt
#

twas patched to make it so exiting off the beginning saves essence spent?

#

Very considerate devs o ,o

median prairie
exotic cobalt
#

with speedrunning - does it only take game time?

median prairie
#

It could be some oddness relating to advancing RNG seeds and having no action the advance the seed from a campfire load

median prairie
exotic cobalt
#

What's stopping me from Alt-F4'ing cause the game chose to give 2 rooms with delayed death? . -.

median prairie

exotic cobalt
#

I never had that error before - the hecc is that

median prairie
#

This is because his save file is set to read only as it makes resetting faster

exotic cobalt
#

huh..? ... you load faster out of fails/exits from read-only? o -o

median prairie
#

The game makes a temp file of your save if it detects that your file is read only

crimson plume
#

Doesn't a seed also infer that the scrolls will be the same?

median prairie
exotic cobalt
#

^ Hence why I state it's an assumption for me to call it a seed

#

hecc-

crimson plume
#

Yeah sub 10 not 7 lol

#

good ol jonwillbert doing what he does

novel token
exotic cobalt
#

Jesus christ this run-

median prairie
exotic cobalt
#

wait what

median prairie
#

But as is likely the case, the seed the RNG is using is likely always changing by many unknown factors all the time

exotic cobalt
#

he unlock-dropped thunder screen???

#

bro is 186 and unlock-dropped it from enemies??

crimson plume
# novel token Das sick

Sub 10s are fairly common amongst those who actually dedicate time to speedrunning. You should see the sub 8s and 7s

median prairie
#

Hence why individual RNG instances cant be replicated or influenced

exotic cobalt
crimson plume
exotic cobalt
#

oh that's just bloody cheap

crimson plume
#

Also uses the "pity" system where you cant enter the same layout 2 for the next 2 games

exotic cobalt
#

speedrun should require 100% unlock

crimson plume
#

I mean... it's speedrunning

#

Dude

#

have you seen the recent minecraft systems?

#

People have programs running perfect seeds

#

And calculations for strongholds

exotic cobalt
#

They have programs generating 15-20 worlds every few seconds, using entity charts to figure out stronghold and bastion locations

#

coordinate and position trackers to triangulate the eye of ender

#

etc

crimson plume
#

And you call this cheap?

median prairie
#

Regardless of how u feel about the file u are still getting ludicrously lucky and using a lower unlock file does not actually make it easier to get lucky

exotic cobalt
#

Well that's apples to oranges - this game uses in-game timer. Minecraft speedrunners are timed off the getgo not using in-game

#

so they have to play cheap programs to cut the outside time

#

while still ensuring nothing is manipulated

#

(minecraft speedruns notorious for being caught cheated)

hushed sinew
#

Prettymuch all scrolls have hidden weightings regardless of tier, So even if you reduce the pool it's still lucky

crimson plume
#

Even full unlocks you can still easily get a sub 9

#

The pity file just helps decrease shit rng

exotic cobalt
#

these unlock drops are still attached via. links.

#

like if none of the unlock scrolls had links - it's less arguable

#

but Sorcerer? +60% Damage?

crimson plume
#

you cant pick them up

median prairie
#

To clarify you’re not actually allowed to use drops mid run

crimson plume
#

thats against the rules

median prairie
#

You get them dropped but you are not allowed to use them.

#

If the drop comes from unlock* of course

exotic cobalt
#

... =- ='... so ... does the file contain ALL unlockables locked

#

or very SPECIFIC ones

crimson plume
#

no

median prairie
#

Its impossible to do that so it just aims to reduce as many as possible

hushed sinew
#

All the files used in runs are Manually made, i.e. not save edited or anything like you would see in other games.

exotic cobalt
#

^I'm wondering legitimacy of that

hushed sinew
#

So there's a specific limitation to how and what you can prevent unlocking whilst getting the things you need.

crimson plume
#

It's very legit

median prairie
#

I watched him make the file
