Hello Heisters!
Following the release of Payday 3, an internal discussion was had between the Payday the heist, Payday 2, and Payday 3 speedrun moderators about the possibility of merging the communities together under one discord server. ollowing a vote hosted on the payday 2 speedrunning server, as many payday 2 runners have voiced opinions on transferring to payday 3, we've decided to go ahead with the merging of these communities. We decided to use the pre-existing Payday 2 server as a basis, in an effort to preserve the expansive history of our community. The server is still under development, and we hope that you will voice your opinions in an effort to improve our newly merged server.
See you in the safehouse, and remember... keep those helmets flying! ;)
Leaderboard starts only on October 5th without any exception, please do not submit your runs before that date.
Yes, a lot of mods can add or change something in the game, so u can run it faster, but in the same time, if that just cosmetics what change only textures for funny stuff - not really bad, but at the moment we prohibit mods in runs.
It's only 3rd day of the game and I'm looking a lot of stuff in game for rules, so people can start running and recording as soon as possible, but in the same time we doing the payday 3 discord server so people can talk about speedrun in one place. And ofc we love to hear every ideas for leaderboards.
And about "Maskless Stealth" it's more like Category Extansion, what we are not looking for now, cuz we need start the main leaderboard. For Category Extansion we have some ideas and already got some from people, so we add them in future, but only after we start the main leaderboard.
At the moment we are waiting for the game to be stable and, in principle, for the opening of the leaderboard. We will add other categories as needed by the community.
At the moment we are considering difficulty as in payday 2 leaderboard, where we have min and max difficulty in categories. You can select hard and very hard and play, but they will not exist as separate categories, because only different is a hp/damage on cops. You can see what it looks like in Payday 2 speedrun page, so for now, yes, we probably look Normal and OVK category only. (but its only for now, maybe after time we add this if we have runners who interested in it)
if u about adding this category - i think not, bcs it's just completing the heist, but with another variation, but yeah we have 1 record with secret ending in standard category of level
At the moment (210 patch) payday 2 has such a function, in 200 and earlier (if i remember correctly) no have this fuction, but i think u meant this update. And no, u can't use any another mods, only SuperBLT and Speedrunmod (if u want RNGmod) We want runs to be based on the original game as much as possible :/
