Utah, USASorry about the (very) late response. I don't keep an eye on the forums so I never noticed this. I'm also not very active on srcom.
I've added Marie GB and submitted Irukan's run.
If anyone else wants to add a new game, you'll probably have the best luck by pinging or sending a DM to either me or Angela on discord.
The category will revolve around Surt. His normal attack is uniquely an elemental one, being fire, which works with attack all, fire boost and pierce. The only normal enemy in the game that reflects fire is Cerberus, who only shows up in Tower of Kagutsuchi. For bosses, I know Specter 3 reflects all magic, but I don't remember if there are any other ones. Surt also has exclusive access to Ragnarok, which is an extremely powerful skill on its own. With the extra press turn from NG+ you can have a party of just MC and Surt with 3 press turns to have Surt easily attack 3x per turn, which should take care of pretty much every random encounter up to ToK.
Personally, I would reject any run that uses hacks in the run itself, or has a compendium that could only be possible with hacks, such as having unique / body part skills on demons that can't normally have them (Archangel with Earthquake, Pixie with Hassohappa, etc.) Although when it comes to the compendium, you'll probably want 100% anyway since a 100% compendium is 1/2 price, and money is the main bottleneck of the run. Using hacks to prepare the save file is fine.
We can add it when someone has done a run. Adding an empty category does nothing for making a run happen. I agree that it would be a cool category, but mostly because using level 99 demons would not be the fast way to do it since it's only the compendium of the demons that are carried over, including their costs. Proper setup and routing would be needed to make it fast.
There aren't any DS runs so I don't see a reason to deny emulated runs, but drastic isn't the most well known emulator on top of it being closed source. I'd recommend DeSmuME if you must use emulation, and use RetroArch if you can't natively run the emulator.
yup
You messaged me on discord and I answered you there, but I might as well put it out for other people to see that I've translated clops's Keithgriff route and nobody else has done a run of it yet. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngFBZAgW9uT_JWBJrhYTxzzWtYrIYNktcjK5udH_m-c/edit
After some discussion among Disgaea speedrunners we decided that we want to merge some of our boards that were previously separated by PC ports. This means there are some boards that need to be deleted. After talking to T3tsuya it seems that only admins can delete boards/games if they have been around for a while, so here I am. Boards / games to be deleted: https://www.speedrun.com/Phantom_Brave_PC https://www.speedrun.com/disgaeaaod https://www.speedrun.com/disgaea2dhd
These games are on these boards (do not delete these): https://www.speedrun.com/Phantom_Brave https://www.speedrun.com/disgaea1 https://www.speedrun.com/Disgaea_2_PC
I haven't seen a PM. Maybe twitch messages are just broken since I haven't gotten one since last year in lieu of whispers. Go ahead and post the route docs I have on my profile. They're there to be seen and used. As for Etna%, do you know if a Male Samurai at <50% HP can deathblow her? That'd be the easy way to do it but I haven't tested it. Since she's immune to poison it'd seem like deathblow wouldn't work. That would also be an easy way to get a lot of exp and money, but it doesn't help Adell's level to capture high level monsters. I also wonder if you could: Hospital abuse for the strongest muscle accessories, go through the item world with them, then equip them to a prinny. I wonder if that would be enough damage but it's a way to pierce through defense.
I still haven't cleaned up Shallie from when the previous moderator was there so that's where there are some odd rulings left over. I've changed it so that NG timing starts on New Game selection and ends on 2nd Fin. NG+ I've kept the old rules since you skip the prologue and apparently ending credits too(?). If you think the end timing should be different let me know. The other PS3 Ateliers have the day limit so ending on FIN makes more sense, but here it's a little odd since there's no day limit.
Also, I'd like your opinion on whether or not the characters should be separate categories or not. As someone who ran Escha and Logy, the original moderator had the main characters as separate categories which I disagreed with so I got it changed and added it as a variable. As someone who doesn't run Shallie (yet) I can't say the same for this game.
You can go ahead and list the map for the download content if you think it'd be useful for someone else to speedrun the game.
I am the Atelier speedrunning mod. I had 2 trips in a row one being AGDQ and then I had to fly out for an interview right after that, all with being sick during that. Now that I've come back and been able to settle, I've seen the runs and I've verified them. I still have to clean up the Shallie board from the person who modded it previously to allow difficulty settings. It's a bit rough considering there are runs that don't show the difficulty setting at the beginning nor are they said in the description of the video.
Hunteriwi made me mod for AI1. Vanilla Rorona, Totori, Ayesha and Shallie are all currently modless.
The previous mod of all the Atelier series had his account deleted, and I've become the super mod of the series. However there are many games in this series that now has no mod and I don't know how to give myself mod in each of these games. If I can't give myself mod for each of the games then I'd like to request moderation to all of the games.
I ended up having to get new train tickets at the airport. There is no way for me to contact SJ from email and their phones were busy during the hours I was awake or had access to a phone. It was very inconvenient for me to buy tickets on site since my debit card doesn't have a chip so I couldn't use the machines. The only option I could find was to exchange to DKK just to buy my ticket to the event then exchange to SEK at the event. As much as I'd like a refund for my original, it also seems like it'd be a total hassle considering there's no way, at least with what I could find, to email them about what happened. I don't know what would be better to do in the future for the same situation. It just seems bad all around.
It says my tickets for the SJ train is paid, yet cancelled. Not sure what that means. Do I get a refund and rebook? It's still a while before I get on the train (tomorrow at 13).
Bumperballs sounds like an activity that I would like to experience. I'm in
The estimate on the schedule for Disgaea 2 is 2:15 and I submitted a 2:30 estimate. 2:15 is about an average run whereas a 2:30 estimate takes into account the worst that can happen. If you're fine with this then that's fine, just keep in mind that it can very easily go over estimate.
I had a poll for ATM versus the other options and ATM won out so that's pretty much been decided on. I don't have any opinions on the eggs though since I don't plan on running low% or 100%.
