SupporterI marked in parenthesis to utilize sliding operator if SV is finished. Not sure how accurate it is, but will update again if this is not the case. It's an understatement for how long it's been since I tried TWW (late April 2017), so I'm slow with things that need to be updated.
As for the The Escape segment, is this the same segment we're referring to? The one where you spam your swap button and then X until the dialogue is over.
Updated everything else.
- Is Saya's Vigil required to have the operator slide?
- At what point in the run are the choices present?
- Also, I'm not sure what you are trying to explain with Escape. Is this referencing The Escape segment?
Variables that are hidden from the leaderboard columns, but still show in Filters (for further filtering) and directly within the run. This would help with runs that have different aspects to the runs that can be useful when searching for specific criteria, but does not necessarily warrant a new column.
@E_Dragon, the information would be very valuable, but currently the website is limited on how it handles variables. Any new filter added is essentially another column on the leaderboard. I'll leave a suggestion for hidden variables except through the filter system and viewing the run directly on the development-related channels and hopefully we will see something going forward. Current plans for December/January look like notification updates and possibly site messages.
There was a large discussion on our Discord's #category-discussion channel about utilizing a new filter to separate runs between runs that used Nova and those that did not. I asked that this conversation be moved outside of the Discord to these forums for more clarity and reducing the risk of lost information over time.
Here's the basic points for context:
- Nova dominates a majority of all categories on these leaderboards. This is due to her Wormhole ability being an instantaneous transport to any destination the ability is cast towards. There is currently no competitor that can beat her on similar skill levels.
- The current intention of the leaderboard underneath @zopney 's leadership is to highlight the best method of completing one of the category objectives quickly.
- There is currently very little deviation away from Nova, exceptions being Dojo Parkour, solo Teralyst, and some others.
- This was addressed in the past and placed in the New Category Guidelines.
Proposal: Implement a new filter that separate runs between Nova runs and non-Nova runs to showcase the variety of Warframes utilized.
Counterarguments against this idea include:
- Deviation from original intention of the leaderboard (see bullet point 2 above).
- Minor, arbitrary uses that is not significant except adding more points to fill out on every form.
- Ugliness of the leaderboards with a new row of variables.
- An unsustainable variable that changes as the game progresses.
- A vague implementation of the filter. No ideal situation for the use of filter except as a Yes/No boolean on use of Nova.
- A rabbit hole of specific details. It's been argued about when will there be a Nyx/No Nyx filter for Dojo Parkour, as Nyx currently dominates that category.
This issue has been debated in the past and the prior consensus then was to not allow a filter like this to exist, as it only allows further segregation of the leaderboards. The lack of this filter does not invalidate any runner's attempts as a legitimate speedrun. All runs receive the same moderation treatment no matter the time, submitter, or frame utilized. However, I do not want to overstep my bounds as community leader/super moderator just to prevent a filter like this from existing, I am simply looking for a correct method of implementation that satisfies all members of the community.
The idea of adding more information to runs for more value in the data is always considered, but the technical limitations of the website prevents an unseen variable from currently being implemented. Therefore, the filter would not be implemented until specific updates to the website were added.
So what are your thoughts on a filter like this?
- Updated Kuva Survival to have amount of kuva harvested represented as milliseconds represented in the thousands. Example: 50,000 kuva harvested is 50 milliseconds on the leaderboard.
P22 Bayer Universal. I find this font to be really well designed and has been worth the money. For anywhere else as it's available, I choose Lato, Calibri, or, if nothing else available, Arial.
Since the amount of categories allowed on these leaderboards are generally limited by creative potential, a shorter list of categories that are not allowed is easier to make.
The following is a list of categories that are not allowed on these leaderboards (and subsequently the official leaderboards as well). Reminder that this list is not the sole reference for allowable categories and every suggestion of a new category undergoes a subjective review by a moderator.
- Any category that involves a form of banning for any Warframe-related medium. This includes, but not limited to, speedrunning support desk bans, in-game account bans, region chat bans, Warframe-related Twitch channel bans, and Warframe-related Discord bans.
- Any category that shows any form of abuse towards oneself, another player, or an entity. Ex: speedrunning the time until a squad member aborts a mission, because a pre-made squad of three refuses to extract.
- Any category that involves a chat related element to it when the sole objective or majority of the objective is chat related. Ex: speedrunning a sale of an item.
- Any category with the sole purpose of inciting a negative response due to its nature as a speedrun or indirectly via other means such as audio, description, etc. Ex: an overly difficult category called "Painful Category" would be acceptable, whereas a title of "Suicide Category" will not be allowed.
- Archived MR 9 IL and MR 1 - 10 due to changes in the game and created the replacement categories. Categories will be available for submission starting on October 31. Relevant Trello card: https://trello.com/c/0yCx4VNq/29-mr-1-10-and-mr-9-ils
- New categories related to the upcoming Fortuna update will be expedited and a new super category for full-game and individual levels will be created. Filtering and cleanup will occur at some time in late November/early December to integrate the super category into the leaderboards.
- Removed all secret goodies from leaderboards.
No plans for Tenno-only on these leaderboards as it is more suited for Category Extensions.
- Broke down the Endurance category into separate categories underneath Full-Game Leaderboard > Miscellaneous.
- Moved the long set of rules for Endurance into its own guide.
- Added Kuva Survival as a high score board. This is a separate leaderboard meant to focus on most kuva harvested versus longest time spent in the mission. Longest time spent on Taveuni can still be submitted to the new Survival leaderboard.
- Update for endurance website: @alchameth is growing the endurance community and will look into the website at a later time. In the mean time, feel free to join the Endurance Discord and practice around with other likeminded players: https://discord.gg/pAdKtRW
I wanted to speedrun Pokemon Trading Card Game (I read somewhere to pick a game you wouldn't hate after running it a thousand times) after watching AGDQ 2016, so I figured I record it and upload it to a well-known leaderboard. I went inactive after that.
When I returned, I stayed because I ended up becoming involved with the Warframe leaderboards where I spend most of my time fooling around on as my hobby (the leaderboards/community, notsomuch the game anymore).
Category Extensions could be considered a lawless area of the leaderboards, but for good reason. The purpose is to promote community interaction between each other, rather than moderator/runner interaction. Just a reminder, this leaderboard is for fun, rather than fame.
Generally, Category Extensions changes the rulings on pretty much everything from the official leaderboards. This is either to completely relax the rules or to strengthen them. As such, all rules are restricted to each category and global rules are minimal.
However, there are couple rulings that needs to be placed globally that apply to both CE and the official leaderboards. If you have questions about any of these, ask in #help in Discord.
Rules here are in effect throughout all categories, even when the category rules are changed.
- Any category requires single-segment video proof from start to finish.
- Verifiers reserve the right to reject a run with reasonable cause.
- Runs may take up to 30 days to verify.
- Any form of exploits that are harmful to the game, other players, or the economy are prohibited.
- Any activity that breaks EULA or TOS with Digital Extremes are also prohibited.
Just a reminder to read the category's Rules before you attempt your run. These changes here is not global and the category rules take precedence.
- You can glitch and commit out-of-bounds techniques.
- You can use platinum. (in case if there's like "first one to 1000 energy pads")
- No 10% rule.
- Alternative missions are allowed.
- Meme categories are allowed.
- Co-op runs may run missions in parallel (previously disallowed).
If there will be one, it'll be on the Category Extensions leaderboard, as there's no way to practice the runs outside of the event. I could add it real quick if people are interested.
Placing it under Miscellaneous actually might be more viable if we want it on these leaderboards.
- Moved Tridolons out of testing phase.
- Moved Teralyst out of testing phase.
- Trophies are being looked into and mixing and matching. Expect to see it changes over the next week.
- Enforcing all Capture missions with In-Game Timing only due to simplicity. We're aware of possible latency issues, so if you are affected by the latency in this scenario, let us know on our fancy new Trello board!
- All Capture missions can no longer be able to utilize the capture animation cancel by switching back to your Warframe as operator as soon as you begin the animation.
- Added Capture Missions megacategory with Copernicus and Ukko nodes to start off with. New categories will be added within the coming days.
- Updated Timing Standards guidelines to include that aborting a mission during an IGT multi-mission category is possible as long as the original objective changes midway through the mission.
