Hello everybody, I decided to finally change the leaderboards after a year of doing the LRT change. However, most runners have agreed that the LRT system is clunky, confusing and unnecessary for our leaderboards. So, I have made 3 big changes, 2 involving the old LRT system.
1. LRT has been removed.
LRT has been one of the most inessential and worst parts of this leaderboard, and I take full responsibility since my thinking was kind of odd back then. But as I stated, LRT was confusing, unnecessary for our leaderboards. It was a confusing system and almost everybody preferred to name their runs with RTA, and never LRT. Because of this, me and Scratchy did the grueling task of fixing every run to have the RTA timing, then removed the lesser important LRT. But what does this mean for older RTA runs that had RSS? Well...
2. RSS is back!
RSS can now be used in runs again, but since most runners also prefer no RSS, there will be a category split between No RSS, and RSS. The default will be no RSS.
Finally, one final unrelated change:
3. Normal and Hard categories have been removed.
Along with LRT, Normal and Hard categories were also not essential to the leaderboards and didn't add much. They wouldn't be much different to each other, and nobody ran them anyways. So, only Easy and Expert categories will remain on the leaderboards.
Thank you for reading! These are several changes both the community has been waiting for and I have been waiting to do. I hope these changes make the leaderboard easier to understand.
Completely forgot to mention this, but we now have our own Category Extension leaderboards! Check it out here:
Hey there runners, me and e1_0 have been making a discord server in the works, and we are finally ready to release it to the public. Check it out here:
Took long enough as I wasn't even sure to add this guy due to the complaints from everybody, most of which were actually kind of off, but still I've decided to add him to the leaderboards.
Hope you all are doing well everybody! This is a very sudden and big announcement to put here, and it will change the leaderboards to come.
I have decided that reaching the flag does not count as time anymore. This means we will be not counting time when you reach the flag, and time starts back the frame you enter the hub. RSS is still completely allowed, but your time will be timed in RTA only and not the new IGT timing we will be adding.
Despite this being added specifically here, we chose not to do any other game mainly because those have way more developed runs than this specific game, mainly due to the extra tabs. Since Any% mainly uses RSS though, we thought this change was necessary specifically for this game, as this can remove the burden of having to RSS every time.
TLDR; we will be not counting time when you reach the flag and the results, as we believe it's burdening runners too much.
Edit: We are also removing NG+ Extra Tabs as a result of this.
