While it's not explicitly disallowed at the moment, I suppose that should be allowed for NM assuming you only use the same new characters on the other maps and gear dropped during the run. Any other opinions?

Hello,

Redux is basically a different game and it's not really compatible with vanilla, especially when it comes to competition. If you'd like I can add it as a game under the Dungeon Defender series and make you a moderator - you would have to set it up though, since I know very little about it. There have been players asking before you, but unfortunately nobody seemed to be up to the task of creating, managing and moderating it.

It got removed as a rule many years ago since it results in a marginal difference at most. Banked mana is ok. Upgrading is ok.

I removed myself from the mods before because I didn't want to deal with morons like you :)

I believe there is a way to have both versions installed. Runs on Redux will definitely not be allowed though since there's some major differences. If you wish to run Redux maybe you can look into adding it as a separate game in the series.

It's much easier to cheat outside of ranked, that's why it's required.

Hello everyone, small update.

No pin DoT was added as an individual level. New rules were added for the new category as well as True Boss Rush regarding FPS cap and timing. The new rules can be displayed in the category rules tab and only apply for these individual levels.

Rules were adjusted accordingly, current rules for gear only require showing the hero screen of all characters used. Note that I might request additional proof if there's any submissions with unusually high stats by players unknown to me.

Secondly, True Boss Rush was added to individual levels and Temple of Polybius was moved to the bottom of the list with the other challenges to make it more visible.

Addendum,

I changed how categories are displayed. There are now only two main categories, one for Solo and second for Co-op. New characters/Existing characters are now sub-categories for each of these. Additionaly for Solo subcategories Existing Character and Existing Characters have been merged. This was suggested before and while I initially didn't want to change it I decided it's for the better now. Runs that were submitted into these categories were moved and duplicates removed.

Hello everyone,

I made some slight changes today. The rules are now split for all categories - there are two tabs in the rules window, game rules and category rules.

Some changes were also made to rules, most notably rules now state that event items are allowed, stacking minions or towers is allowed (including scripts because everyone already uses them anyway) and some other minor changes regarding timing and gear.

I also added many new maps and will be adding some requested misc categories later. If there's any more maps or categories you'd like added please let me know.

Hello, for a few years I've been the only active moderator of Dungeon Defenders - https://www.speedrun.com/dungeon. Moderator WASD should be removed for inactivity for years, Hydro either removed or downgraded to regular mod. I'd also like to become the series moderator (https://www.speedrun.com/dungeon_defenders) if possible.

Thanks.

Hey, sorry it took me a while to respond. The total time on the statistics screen at the end of an individual level is a requirement for those and it doesn't exactly match the time as measured by livesplit or similar. One slight issue with that could be the rounding to full seconds, but seeing as not many people run ILs I doubt it will ever become a problem.

There are however quite a few runs submitted and verified by using the in-game time measurement so it would be unfair towards those to allow livesplit timing, so the answer is no. I don't believe it's a problem for you to run the individual levels and I'm pretty sure you would achieve better times too.

As for the Light/Dark path that wasn't separated since 95% of the run would be exactly the same.

"Control cube is meant to be stolen." How exactly did you come to this conclusion? If you read the quest description it very clearly says kill Tolberti/Robert and once you turn the cube in, history book very clearly says Tolberti/Robert has been killed.

"Alright, vampire part is really a bug as it's not in their intended player journey and it's legitematelly broken." You seem to agree with that so why even argue that's not a glitch? You are clearly given a quest to go slay him, once again refer to the quest description and history book once you've turned the quest in.

While it's true that the game has been somewhat rushed and released in this unfortunate state, both of these cases are very much not intended to be skipped by simply stealing the cube or just visting the Wine cellar and leaving immediatelly. Therefore these are considered glitches and are against the rules for "Glitchless" category. The entire point of this category is to finish the main storyline of as intended.

Yeah, tower or minion stacking is fine.

Guess what, people are sometimes busy

I agree that new players or players that haven't been participating in events will have much harder access to legit event items but they can still get those. I don't however agree with "can 1 shot almost everything". That simply isn't true at all. Yes, they usually have good stats or provide unique utility, but they're not overpowered and I don't like the idea of banning them.

If I recognize a poor event clone I will reject the runs, but I don't see why would we ban any legit items.

I definitely think that should be a category :)

The one I used is called Livesplit.
