So I believe as the game is actively updated, runs we have listed should be removed. I am not suggesting that we remove all runs whenever there is an update; however, I feel they are no longer valid as the game is changed to a certain extent. For example, the current World Record placed 4 months ago was ran on Update #77. At the time of writing this, the game is currently on Update #93.

Since Update #77, these changes have been made that could affect current runs compared to then:

  • Turrets have increased HP and a higher chance to spawn (79)

  • Boss Intros were added (83)

  • Certain enemies such as grunts were made more aggressive (84)

  • Snow Tanks are more aggressive and react faster (83 + 91)

  • Three new rare enemies (78 + 93)

  • Increased damage from IDPD explosions (93)

  • Lil' Hunter only spawns Grunts pre-loop (81) (I am not sure if this means Grunts were never spawned by Lil' Hunter previously, but the current WR had no spawned grunts so it's a possibility)

  • Fixed rate of fire for Steroid's second weapon (86) (Not sure if for better or worse)

Now of course with this, there were many parts of these updates that changed the game and made certain aspects less troubling and easier. But this only goes to show how much the game has changed and how runs on past updates could potentially no longer be valid. I personally don't believe that these runs should be valid after a certain number of game-changing updates, but I wanted to know what vPixl and others thought.

Ideas?
