Uru: Complete Chronicles (ABM, To D'ni, and Path of the Shell)

Would this be a viable category? Considering it's not the same as MOULagain, and I don't see it listed on the leaderboards.

As well, what about just To D'ni and Path of the Shell as standalone categories? (Start out in the Cleft, then completing the necessary steps to achieve the "perhaps the ending has not yet been written" message for those expansions)

I'm sorry I didn't see this until now, but better late than never! I think Complete Chronicles would definitely be a viable category, but completing Path of the Shell would be pretty lame because of the 15 (?) minute wait for one of the areas. There are only a couple (literally) runners of the game so far, so anything you want to try is definitely a good option and I can put it on the leaderboard.

I'm interested in this category. I have CC and especially since right now NO ONE can create an account on MOULa, and there are some differences.

I'm new to speedrunning but I've been working on a segmented run of CC which would be more palatable because then you don't have to complete the boring POTS every time.

I'd also like to propose the following URU:CC categories, as the routing and times would be different:

URU Complete Chronicles: Any% All Content (Ages Beyond Myst, To D'ni, Path of the Shell) URU Complete Chronicles: Any% Ages Beyond Myst URU Complete Chronicles: Any% no POTS

So the first one - would include sitting through 18 mins of nothing during POTS. Boo. I'll probably only run this once in a while.

Second one - Similar to Myst Uru Live runs, but there are some minor differences.

Third - This is the one I'd really like to run. This is what I've put some time into routing and such. Any% no POTS I define as completing ABM and To D'ni, "completing" them is when you get the "Perhaps the ending has not yet been written..." screen. The end of the run would be once you complete ABS and then activate the Great Zero. This is fun because while completing ABM, you have to collect the bahro stones which link to various parts of D'ni. This changes the routing for ABM so it works well when both are run together.

I'm still figuring out how to record my runs but once I get something decent recorded I'll post it.

How about just as a community we say POTS sucks as a speedrun and just skip it???

We already have a section for ABM. If you complete ABM, you can submit it as an Online run (MOULa) or you can submit it as an offline run and select which version you have used (1.0, 1.2, or CC). I think this makes the most sense. I think all the ABM runs should be compared together.

Regarding the other CC categories, I haven't played CC in so long that I don't really remember what is involved there. Other than the waiting segment. Whatever you would like to do, we can include it in the leaderboards. I'd like to see a video, for sure.

After some more thinking, especially now that MOULa doesn't let you create new accounts, I think I'd like to merge the Leaderboards for Offline and Online runs.

I'll get a video for the CC run as soon as I can!

One question about ABM - You only have to get fireflies once??? For the life of me I haven't been able to do this in CC. Maybe it's a trick but I'm wondering if it got patched out in CC? Anyone know about this?
