ValhallaOnly one mod has been on within the last day dude, if you really are that hard-up about having such an arbitrary category contact them on their discord linked on the side. Above all though, learn some patience.
pvp categories aren't something really worth tracking when the whole point of it is based around other players and not really one's own skill. That's pretty apparent too looking at the thumbnail there with the kills and damage dealt stats, not to mention seeing some of the video I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the teams were disconnected mid-match or just quit themselves due to Apex Legends' wonderful rubber-banding.
You should request that through here https://www.speedrun.com/gamerequestrules
There's a wee mistake in the Consensus section with the sentence "How do would communities of other games in the series handle the issue?"
Two days isn’t long at all. Have some patience, people have lives outside of moderation. Anyways, you’ll need to contact the moderator directly through twitter or discord or any of their social media links as they haven’t been online in 3 months.
I'll be migrating runs to a new setup for the categories to get rid of the 2nd Player variable where it's not needed for certain categories, as well as removing the Characters variable from categories like Iron Man and All Challenges. Depending on how you have your notifications set up for this game, you may see a lot of new PB or WR notifications popping up during this.
If you plan to submit runs during this time, just pretend the categories that are under construction aren't there and submit as you normally would. The categories under construction will be tucked away in Misc. as to not get in the way of the rest of the board until they're ready for runs to be migrated to.
This will be stickied for the time being until it's completely migrated.
Edit: All done.
Was time in milliseconds ever used for the runs and then unchecked? That run that's four years old may have a hidden milliseconds time on it
Badwrong has been advertising that game/talking about it in the Speedrunning Community discord, he's all good
While technically not my call, I don't feel like there's a necessity for more mods with how little traffic this game gets, runs are fairly short as is and get verified typically the day of submission.
It sounds like you may not have Global Hotkeys checked in the settings to be able to split/do whatever with livesplit while it's in the background
A lot of the runners for those categories with times not in milliseconds haven't been on in several months. It seems wildly unfair to expect these people to see a new sticky to retime and resubmit their runs and in turn remove their runs if they don't do this.
So I just tested this out and it looks like if you have a run or runs on the board that already have milliseconds in their submission, the milliseconds are just hidden rather than completely deleted from current runs so the only effect it'd have is that it just doesn't show the milliseconds anymore for the run(s)
Category would only be ruined really if I allow this, which I'm just gonna blanket ban these kinds of exploits for survival since it makes having a category for it pointless otherwise, I will be using yours and WinnerBit's videos as examples though in the rules!
Well it looks like yet again the AI in this game is absolutely spectacular lol. I feel like this should also be something banned in survival just because you can loop around forever, but does anyone have any suggestions themselves?
May I get super for pac-man championship edition DX https://www.speedrun.com/pmce ? Tried reaching out to Kyle a bit ago through his steam a few times with no luck and his discord tag doesn’t work anymore either.
Sorry for the really late reply, has anyone tried out any good estimates for the scores? I need to redo the ones I did since I lost the text file where I wrote down some possible scores lol
I just want to say "Do you realise that in SPEEDrunning the main value is not SPEED but TIME" doesn't make any sense lol, they're correlated, and the way you're capitalizing them both makes it look like you're trying to imply the name speedrunning should be timerunning? You don't need all these categories for one sole person to have a spot on the leaderboard because they can't compete against the world record in the current categories. Splitting up any% by difficulty for this game doesn't sound very great, especially for trying to wrangle people in. It doesn't change very much per difficulty, and you actually chose a very good example with Resident Evil 5 not changing much per difficulty as well, but that must've been unintentional. People don't shy away from this game because they see a good world record time, it's because this game's mechanics are poo poo (among other things), especially compared to FEAR 1.
Alright so I sorted out the score goals, but some of the boards need a different score goal other than just 250/500 (like Highway II and Championship III which for some reason isn't even under ILs I have no idea why) some can get 500k or 750k or even a million with ease
^ I’d rather go through with that, as the 2mil/3mil on challenge I was an oversight by me due to it being set up that way in the past and me just going by the old categories. Plus I’d have to remake all the IL boards again if I defined the category name as 250/500
