I am very interested in doing a max level run, using the NG+ mode introduced on the new patch, but don't see a home for this on the current board setup. Are there any plans to add it? If not, please consider this post my formal request <3
I'll second this opinion! And maybe adding new categories for the new difficulties!
That's a great suggestion! I would also support a difficulty subcategory - as it is, hard mode and easy mode runs all fall under the same criteria for the "combat settings" run.
Based on recent NG+ attempts, easy difficulty on the newest patch is probably the fastest for any% NG anyway, making the Dream Eater 2 skip obsolete. At that point, any% will be glitchless by default.
I agree with shmumbler that a glitchless category might not be necessary on current patch/route, but I do wonder if there's need for a console port subcategory for the various boards? I know interest for that is probably a lot smaller than it is for PC runs, but I'm not quite sure that the two sets of control schemes are fair to compare and the autosplitter wouldn't be able to assist those folks anyway.
I think with console categories potentially being added accessibility features as a ban or side category should be re-evaluated at least for those categories since the majority seem mostly there to make controller support better.
An autosplitter/load remover was made for the game.
It is available on Livesplit.
Time without loads will become the default timing method, using the load remover will be required if you do not want load times counted in your final time.
