Categories Discussion

So, we finally have reached the point we need to decide what to do with the Any No Deaths%, since we no longer have only Uncontested times on a category.

As stated before, that category was made to make me and Rogel play against each other and get motivated, since we do different categories. And to measure the fastest time of the game overall. I want your inputs on what we should do.

Also, I'm thinking in adding new categories. Some form of 100% could be All Dragons (adding Black and Red to the fights on purpose) ? Or the really hard 3-2-30 from the korean videos I saw (+3 million xp, +20k silver under 30 minutes). They even add modifiers to that as 3no (No Items, No Shops, No Spells) or Survivor (No hits taken).

My humble opinion: All Dragons would be cool, but Elf doesn'r require Green Dragon (but will probably fight it because it's faster). But characters are categories for themselves, so we will have M.User All Dragons, Dwarf All Dragons... It's a lot of categories, but it's what is fair for everyone.

I like the 3-2-30, but without the time restriction, since this is a speedrun already. Again, divided by characters. So it would be a "3-2" .

I also like the 3no category.

Or I wouldn't be offering them.

So, please, leave on the comentary what you think, even if you don't run the game yet. Feedback is extremely important to make this wonderful game being more aknowledged. :D

Well, as March 24th, I altered the categories to make it more entertaining to players of all types to join us.

Changes including removing the "Deathless" requirement of it. I strongly believe that players will eventually notice that dying less = better time . So times with lots of deaths will eventually get replaced with better ones, and will still encourage newcomers to join us.

I also split the new categories between the classes, as it should be. So "Any%" has each class on it, "Dragons%" is the same, etc. The name of each category is "(Class) (Category)%" . For example, as of now I only hold the record for "Cleric Any%" .

Feedback is always apreciated. Feel free to love or hate! :D

I am removing the "Mixed" Categories. No one showed interest so far on it. I will bring it back if someone wants it.Feel free to sugest anything. :)

I see a lot of new players to the speedrun of the game, and first thing: Welcome!

If you need any advice, feel free to ask.

About categories (which is the topic of this thread), I'm still looking for more inputs on what to make them more appealing to new players to come and join us in this wonderful game. Feel free to leave your opinion!
