Discussion about Categories

Hi,

I am looking forward to potentially run this game once i am done playing casually and i was looking at the leaderboard and saw the categories you guys came up with.

So you can correct me if im wrong, but as far as i know there is no advantage gained by getting a death on a level and this makes the deathless category kinda useless in my opinion. Usually those are a thing when there is something to be gained from dying.

Second thing is warpless/with Warp. Maybe i missed something and again you can correct me if i am wrong but i havent seen any Warp. Maybe its just bad wording for something else but as i understand it i dont see any 'warps'

I just wanted to point out these things that i noticed and maybe start a conversation about what would be good to be included or not since this game is new and its important to have categories that are both fun and makes sense so that runners want to start running this game.

Cheers!

It's about 4 years later, but I do agree that some of the ways the leaderboards are set up don't really make a lot of sense. Personally I'd suggest to:

  • Remove one of the timing columns in the IL's where necessary. They both measure the same thing, so all it does is clutter the leaderboard and possibly mess up the order (See 1-12 for example).
  • As Obiyo said, including with death or deathless is a bit odd for a leaderboard. It doesn't break the leaderboard per se, but it just seems kinda pointless to me.
  • I also highly disagree with the rule that Livesplitter is required for full game runs. That way you pretty much force switch players out of running the full game category, or dump them in last place. I'd say either start using the RTA as the standard sorting on the leaderboard, or manually count the IGT for Switch players. This is making the game much less accessible to run!

Less important point is that there are quite a few English mistakes in the rules, let me know if you need any help with that.

Hope you mods read this and respond, I'd appreciate it :)
