Timing

I think the way you guys time things at this moment is VERY stupid for a speedrun, milliseconds can be quite literally determined if someone has a faster run than the other person, there is multiple runs that are the same exact rank... which makes 0 sense at all..... there should not be 5 WR runs.??? or 6 rank 6's? .... probably just gonna be said into the void but it's still pretty stupid.

Hi gothgirls,

More than happy to receive feedback and listen to constructive criticism, but overall it seems as if this is more of a shit post than creating productive conversation.

This mission you are referencing is timelocked at 4:15 and cannot be any quicker. The introduction of milliseconds to this leaderboard specifically will not change anything besides what FPS your recording is at which will determine your placement at that point.

We have milliseconds added to Lost Sectors which are very close to in times consistently from season to season and are quick in nature. This has been spoken about in the past to make this a universal change, but was deemed as not warranted based on average runs submitted to each leaderboard and the big difference between runs. A great of example of this is PIT which is linked here since it is a high volume of submissions with zero overlap.

Below is an example of the first lost sector I clicked on from this season showing the use of milliseconds and how/why we implemented it.

If that mission was not timelocked and was instead something that was based on skill and had a high volume of runs close together we would 100% introduce milliseconds.

I have a few questions for you if you do not mind...

  • Were you aware that this mission was timelocked?
  • Are you in the official Destiny 2 Speedrun Panel Discord? If not join at https://discord.gg/d2speedrun this is a great resource and very active discord that you could post questions/suggestions like this for community discussion and is very active

Best,
