Virginia, USAAny run is exciting and even those pre patch. There will definitely have a home on the leaderboards for these runs as well. We want to show off the game from different pov's and I know that there is entertaining runs no matter what game version it is played on. Awesome video and sub 13, that is really cool. Can't wait to see what others come up with depending on category and rule set.
Alright, you are upset which you have a right to be. However from only reading what you posted, I believe you have a very strong opinion. That isn't the issue, it is how you attacked anyone disagreeing with yourself. We like to have a community agreement on almost everything, including running the AV and AV2 speedrun leaderboards. I will look into your ban, however I just want you to reflect on how your message came off. It isn't very friendly to be invited into someones house and tell them their wall paint is ugly.
Now furthermore let's talk about the speedrun itself. Yes it may be cool to some people that you can beat a brand new game under 20 minutes. This is what YouTube is for. However with new merchandise, there comes bugs. I truly believe that patching things like teleporting to a tile that hasn't even been discovered yet is ridiculous and not entertaining. We the community (everyone) can contribute to bugs, strats, routes, and tech. Tom Happ isn't going to remove fun and punish the speedrunners bc glitches are found. I am sure there are tons of platforming manipulation and a good chance for major glitches. But within our embargo session which is almost half way over, we have a chance to polish a speedrun, pick the correct categories, talk about rules and LISTEN as well as open the flood gates to new runners!
With that being said, sorry for you getting banned without hearing both sides, it wasn't myself nor does it matter who it was. However for you to come into the forums for AV1 and post this only shows us that you don't want to get along with others. What matters is moving forward and hope you can understand that. I really hope you are enjoying the game and WE are excited to see what gamers make of this run for Axiom Verge 2.
One of my favorite things is routing games and I love the ability tree in the game. Gives quite a different feel then your normal platform. Movement tech in this game is my absolute favorite. Chaining a dash jump into another dash is very satisfying but takes time to learn muscle memory on execution.
Welcome and happy to see someone take up this game as a speedrun. So from my understanding and time playing the game, seems like the levels are all generated differently. You may still get the the scheme of things such as mission objective but the level layout is RNG. With that being said, yes RNG (super lame) but can always keep runs fresh and new. Never knowing the route, thinking on the fly, and so many ways to optimize this wonderful game.
Also one weird thing that happens is some levels are skipped completely and this can happen to bosses too. I've have a could runs skip the first bone crusher boss by going from 1-2 to 1-4. Same with other mid bosses in chapter 2 and 3. Also in one of my runs I skip I think 4-5 which is a very time consuming level because you have to find the warrior in 3 different locations before you can complete it.
I don't know if this is caused by going back to village to upgrade, spending more time there before going back into story mode but from my attempts, I couldn't figure out why this happened and what caused it.
Hope that helps, please stop by the discord for an easier way to discuss this game any further, GL HF!
They had updated the athetos boss so you cannot clip right platform and just spam shoot him. If there is anyone out there brave enough to fight athetos with no hp and dmg upgrades is insane and I had attempted it for 2 hours one night with safe strats with 0 hp upgrades and 3 damage upgrades, still almost impossible but got to third phase a few times...
with this being said, there could be older mentions of using passcode to clip OOB or find an alternate route to skip certain upgrades. I had routed a 14% run that included all essentials plus 1 damage node, drone launch, pass code tool, grapple, and flamethrower. say you take away passcode tool, then you cant get flamethrower, hence getting all three with grapple to get oob above athetos and kill him that way.
JOIN the discord for further chats, pretty active community in there although the game leader boards are quite dead.
Axmos join up so I can give u administrator
If you have extra ammo say 240 in machine gun and 90 in rail gun then after emptying both mags you shoot no more than 18 seconds with og blaster but u usually dont go into the fight with 90 rail its about 82-88 depending on rng with box room before boss
Could u get the grapple and range nodes and clip final boss to kill him?
