United StatesIt doesn't all have to be fixed in one day, but let's get started -- here is a very in-depth guide provided for editing leaderboards on this site. https://www.speedrun.com/support/learn/editing-a-leaderboard Let's discuss further changes after another rough draft!
Yes rerolling is very strong. Yes starting with 3 inspirations is very strong. Yes there should be a category starting without inspirations. Should there be a category for no rerolls and/or arbitrary reroll number? It's possible! We just need the categories to be made.
I personally don't like starting inspirations since it really destroys whatever challenge most Ordeals are supposed to give. Feelings aside, one such solution could be simply adding a drop down to all existing runs without too much work.
Starting Inspirations? Yes/No
I mean... I guess!
Build a large amount of crystals through custom Ordeals filled with Elites (with the Elites-give-more-crystals ability from the tree) then save a copy of your Save.bin (mine is located in AppData\Local\Absolum_SaveGame_Steam) on the side. Whenever you do a speedrun you can just use this backup file instead. Hope this helps!
yes IGT is great for that reason. Unfortunately, Absolum IGT does things a timer should not do (like adding time). Hopefully in a future update we can rely on IGT but as of now it's function is less than transparent.
I didn't realize this couldn't be done in Chronicles! I've done it in multiplayer over Fightcade previously and I just assumed it worked in CoM as well...
As for difficulty differences; the only clear difference I ever saw between arcade level 8 and CoM Master difficulty were the amount of skeletons the shadow elf has during the refight in Sable Tower (Master mode had fewer if I remember correctly). Hard to align the difficulties when Master mode isn't even difficulty-8. I really wish they were 1:1!
On CoM Apprentice, Lich summons two zombies per Animate Undead. Arcade default (level-4) Lich summons three. I'm not sure which difficulty below arcade default reduces the zombie summons to two but that'll probably be the one that is closest to Apprentice. Unless it was just an arbitrary CoM change in the first place haha.
