Ontario, CanadaMinor Update: All Clues and 100% journal restrictions.
- Journal isn't required in all clues
- You may also timestamp all evidence pieces in 100% rather than show the journal
Why would it allow me to undelete a comment you deleted... super weird but now I know all your secrets I guess
My bad that I didn't see this earlier-- since I had this page open but was scrolled up it didn't send me a notification...
Ross Lake is tied to 5.0, but I do suppose it would be worth it to make a category for that. The lack of interest for 5.0 from me and others totally made me forget that that map doesn't even have faster times to begin with. I'll get something set up today; maybe even a 5.0 category as 113 is still doable under 30 minutes.
Oh, and all clues speedruns shouldn't be changed too much, but I haven't really done research into that. You can probably submit those as normal.
Forgot to add: I won't be removing 100% runs done under the old rule set unless someone specifically asks it to be removed. There isn't much competition, so I would only find removal necessary if someone else wants to submit a run in that category, and feels it would be harder to beat a record with old conditions (Yellowstone missing POI and dead body "sighting").
Nice! Haven't had many people submit a 100% run, let alone get all the requirements right (even I've forgotten to show the journal or something)
Yeah I wish Bigfoot had more health on III, so that you'd have to kill him at least day 1 Right now it's only an inconvenience as you need to use all the ammo you have, even from the worse guns
Retime of this was 4:00.80 btw practically a sub-4 in my eyes lol
bro sensed a disturbance in the force before the (now 2nd place) 4:42 was even verified and said "nah I just can't have that"
PvP would be on 113 most likely; with the kill Bigfoot goal and player-Bigfoot being cooperative with the hunters. And we did two duos runs just now to test and there isn't really a difference. 331 was a bit harder just because we didn't have as much gear for an early encounter. Yellowstone might be a different story with 331, but for a hardest difficulty category I'd end up doing 331
Yeah I don't think speedrun.com is a fan of "actual" pvp games anyway (the rng is put on whoever you're competing against). Bigfoot trying to kill all the hunters as fast as possible would be another take on a pvp category, where the strat would be to get enough stam to use ram run over and over. I think Bigfoot death would still be better for a pvp category. I might do a few tests on 331 / 333 and see how hard they are. I think 333 would be less annoying, but 331 would maximise that chance that you have to wait until at least night 2.
331 / max difficulty runs would be a top pick for me as well, since pre-planned fights might make a comeback. Unless you're insane (in a good way) I suppose, and kill him night 1 / day 2. Only thing I might be worried about is first-aid kit rng since I don't think the same amount spawn every time. Then again, there should be enough, as long as you don't get hit too much.
Gunless is also another top pick, as it really changes up the strats since you no longer have to go for m4, and you'd have to make an optimal route for max explosive/trap spawns.
I honestly doubt pure melee is possible, or if it is, it would take multiple nights, which doesn't really make for a good speedrun. It would be fun to attempt it, but that's more of a challenge and less of speedrunnable category.
PvP would also be very interesting (and funny), as it eliminates the rng of encountering Bigfoot. Additionally, Bigfoot would have to try to take as much environmental damage as possible while waiting for the hunter(s) to gather ammo, explosives, etc.. This would also be the only category that can support 5 players.
I like these ideas - in fact they are pretty much exactly the same ones I previously had lol. If anyone wants to suggest anything else, add on to these, or even just show that they like the ideas, feel free to keep replying.
The main category is and will likely stay as any% unrestricted. We also have the categories "All Clues" and "100%", as well as a "glitchless" variable. -Would you be interested in having a new category / new categories? -What are some ideas for categories you have, that you'd like to see added? These should preferably be fairly unique categories, where the strategy to win changes, as well as categories that won't take away from any%, but will offer something fun to do on the side. Open to any and all suggestions :)
Nice run you have there! Surely it won't be beat in 2-5 business days... Maybe you can try to claim a wr on Yellowstone for the time being ;)
