i see both sides to this.. the reason i feel a mod verifying their own run is ok is mods are some of if not the most trusted members of their respective speedrunning community. if a mods believes there own run is legit than its a legit run (unless "mod power" is being abuse), which none of us mods do. another thing.. ik for a fact the all the mods know the rules well, and it goes the other way with other mods knowing ik the rules well. if nova completed a full game run and couldnt accept it due to a rule hed just ask me and snow to. i cant speak for snow but personally i wouldnt waste my time watching a run ik is legit. just verify time and difficulty and move on. if a mod is found to be cheating in anyway the repercussions would be way more sever than if a un-modded runner were to be found cheating. like no 2nd chance sever probably lol i can see how a mod verifying their own record looks funny but it quite common in other speedruns as well. dont think its a problem personally

I'm not gonna act like i know why some of the other mods/verifies don't verify runs because i don't. I understand people move on from games. I understand things going on outside of the website and game can be more important than accepting a run. Accepting runs really isn't fun... with that being said there isn't an excuse for some of the mods and verifies extended period of inactivity. Some people literally go months between accepting runs on here. A purge may be a little to much but for the most part i agree with RE_Snow. Some of the people under "Moderated by:" do not belong there. And Nova.. it hasn't even been that long since you accepted your last run, and school is probably the best reason to not be on here accepting runs. Some people here don't go to school and still take months between verifying runs. I'm going to keep doing a "pretty good" job here as long as i have to but how long are 2-3 mods going to be expected to verify 90% of the runs being submitted to a game that has 7 mods?

Just today I made a guide, which is under Guides on the webset, explaining in detail all the checkpoints in the game that are worth resetting. This guide will be game changing for new runners. Over 2 minutes are saved if all resets are done correctly. There is no easier way to save time in RE5 than resetting the right checkpoints. It literally takes no skill to stop, pause, and reset. The guide takes less than 10 minutes to read and covers nearly everything. Reading it will be worth the time.

yes. until they get the time to implement load removal for console it will be very difficult, if not impossible to compare runs on console to other console runs. I believe at the very least the (X) for xbox one x and (Pro) for ps4 pro should be placed at the end of the platform name in the leaderboards. I know this would only be a temporary fix but it would help runners understand skill might not be the only reason they're falling behind in there runs on the leaderboards. for the longest time I did not have a chance to get a world record on SW+ because my old xbox one simply didn't have what it takes to get the job done. in retrospect once I get a good run completed for SW+ my run will be close to, if not unbeatable.

finished my run (Segmented) a couple hours ago. after ten hours of in-game grinding I beat my old PB by a minute and one second. I now have a 22:09 in SW+

Just today i got the Xbox One X. Within ten minutes it became real obvious it was a big upgrade from my old original Xbox One. I'm sure the same could be said for ps4 and ps4 plus. entering and exiting your inventory is much faster, cut scene skips are smoother, and every load time feels as if its cut in half. to any runners looking for a competitive edge id suggest buying a newer version of your console. it really does make a difference. in the 23 minute run that is know as Separate Ways + id guess there is roughly 55 seconds of time save when comparing my Xbox One to my Xbox One X. this is ALOT of time lol

Danschemen has been on top of verifying runs. Much appreciated. Great job!

the only time that really matters is the in-game time, and the game shows this at the end of every chapter. if youu submit your run with only a real game time it will be put in last place (or close to it if other runs have been submitted with only a real game time and they're worse than what your submitting) on the leaderboards. i dont have a real game time next to any of my runs. if you really want a real game time next to your submitted run and you dont have a way to use splits do what Jake said after you finish a run. when both players press ready would be a better place to start your real game time. i feel its more legit because real game time is suppose to facter in loads and starting the time when both player gain control would cheat out a little loading

any chapter that doesn't have a useful out of bounds skip is better to do on 60fps. also whether your run is segmented or a single segment you want most of your run to be on 60fps. I'm sure the guide Danschemen posted will show you everything you want to know about the minecart but for the fps thing id suggest playing on 60fps all the way to just before Salazar at the typewriter at the top of the tower. Switch to 30fps to do the Salazar skip and the island skip. Then use the typewriter by the first island merchant to save and switch back to 60fps and finish the game. I know the waterfall skip is only a small time save, so it might not be worth doing on steam.

Separating pc and console is the fairest way to set up leaderboards, most of the time. And holy shit I just went through and read this forum. I can see some of the newish mods made an ass out of themselves :D

I don't think console runners crave anymore recognition for there runs than someone running on pc. Tbh that's a pretty ignorant statement lol. Console is basically always slower than steam so comparing a steam run to a console run simply isn't fair, but I'm not complaining. Just stating my thoughts on what cyberdemon531 stated because its stupid.

Thanks Mana ? and 2 more people should help out alot ?

When a mod gets a chance to id like my 5'39" 2-3 co-op IL run to be moved into the right category. At the moment its categorized as a SS run in the leaderboards but its actually a segmented run. ive triple checked and i remember we reset a few times in that chapter. i use an editor thingy to trim out mistakes before i publish a segmented run so the videos are less frustrating to watch. watching my past broadcasts on twitch is the only guaranteed way to see whats SS or seged but i put a lot of care into labeling the runs correctly. I'm 99.9% sure my 5'39" 2-3 is a segmented veteran run lol. thanks :)

I did. I remember resetting a few times in that run. if you want I can resubmit it and you drop the previous submission. it looks like its SS but its not My 5'30" on normal with hiram was SS not the veteran one

while your here me and snows veteran 5'39" 2-3 was segmented. maybe I submitted it wrong

yea I don't dislike any of the mods. I just think these runs are taking too long to be verified and that its a fixable problem. theres more than one way to fix it too. sorry if I was rude

instantly? that one kid has been waiting nearly 2 weeks. its as easy as demoding everyone who isnt going to do there job and replacing them with people who will do there job. i dont understand why mods keep posting to this forum and not accepting runs. i dont understand why the half of the mods that are active feel the need to defend the half that dont give a shit anymore. Foggy, Rave, Zenix. If you 3 are actually the only active mods for RE5 do the community and yourselfs a favor and get some people in here that are willing to share that responsibility with you. you 3 arent enough, and until you see that AND fix it people are going to remain unhappy. it really is an easier fix than you guys are making it. i was SOOOOOOO disappointed when i realized my 6 notification werent for my runs getting accepted but were for this forum. i have 3 more SS IL runs im gonna submit today. tbh if i wanted to spend my whole day editing id have a boatload of Seged IL runs i could submit. and i dont plan on slowing down anytime soon. please start accepting runs... thats all were asking here

If more than one mod got on more than once a week maybe it wouldnt take 3 hours to verify all the runs that have built up. RE5 isnt the most popular speedrun but its active enough to where mods that actually care are needed. i have 6 pending run right now.. i mean WHAT ARE THE MODS DOING!? LUL

there's no kappa needed there. thats exactly what it feels like. i havent been submitting runs for as long as most people here but from what iive noticed ravetuba is the only one who gets on here to accept runs and its only once a week. if each mod got on once a week itd be good enough but its obvious that thats not the case here. 1 time once a week really shouldnt be that hard, imo.

I have 4 pending runs..
