Derusting and grinding for Valley pb's have really gotten into gear. I will aim to get sub 17 minutes before second cuts, if not 16:30. Because of the possible timeloss due to the hard strats the estimate stays the same. When i feel confident with Valley, ill go over to Nikita. Already have some strats to incorporate for that game, so getting a pb should not be too hard.

Edit: Incorporated new strats to the Nikita run, got some good luck aswell. Managed to get a quite solid run together.

Thinking this makes sense to have now that more people are joining the game and we actually have to talk about the timing issues people are having. We also need another mod seeing as someone left.

I both know how to find the address and make a loadremover ("autosplitter" is something else). Unfortunately it would only be usable on the pc version. If you are PC savvy, you can add me on discord and i can teach you how to do it (it takes time).

Update on Valley: Because of a recently discovered way to retrieve old patches of steam games, we were able to obtain a fabled old patch for Valley. I would like to add a donation incentive to my run if it gets accepted, the donation incentive would either be playing through the game on that patch, or showing off what makes the patch so hilarious. Small taste:

NecroVision and NecroVision: Lost Company finally got their Speedrun.com pages. NecroVision: Lost Company has gotten routed for single-segment runs and has updated estimate. http://www.speedrun.com/necrovision

Update for Valley and Nikita, derusting has started.

Tomatoanus has made a new indepth updated tutorial for the game, if you are interested in speedrunning the game, watching this is a good way to get going. The link below takes you to the Guide post.

might be fast-ish, might be slow-ish

Usually we have been using a private discord to share strats, but seeing as there are more and more people joining the game. Having a thread to publish new strats might be helpful.

fixed

Wouldn't the current "Normal" category be better named as "Glitchless any%"?

So Zefies question is really valid, where is the most common speedrunning category "any%"

Yes, that is becoming a ghost. We knew about that, and everyone should do it in all their runs. Because ghosts are cooler than stupid people

Reminder to test how horsetilting works on console, it should work Chances of it crashing (even when you know how to do it) might be high though

hype

I cannot register for the tournament without purchasing a venue fee. Is this correct?

[Solved] Locking thread to make room for other subjects.

Basically just a place i can put all the old tilt videos. Alot of these are proof of concept and really old / bad. Just showes potential and whatnot. Feel free to add your own.

For some reason i don't have my video of the Karthspire tilt. But that one should be self explanatory.

I have alot more, but i have to upload them, they are currently not uploaded.

We didn't set up the leaderboard correctly. hold on

Active runners have gotten into a Discord call and had a reasonable conversation about everyones concerns. "any% no intro" will be it's own sub-category which will be placed under any% as a misc category. This quite arbritrary category is the culmination of everyone's concerns. I would like to thank the Fallout 4 community for trying to keep this discussion civil, eventhough we did not do the best at this. I want to apologize to Ewil for the way he was treated in this forum thread. But this discussion was really not for people who have not ran the game. This is the decision the active players of the game has made the 23.01.17.

This thread is getting locked as it no longer serves a purpose.

What do you want me to do as a mod then, people want to start from the freezer. We can make a new category, have the old any% still standing. Problem then becomes that nobody will play the old any%. Which is not that bad or anything, but this is a video game we play for fun first, whatever else second. Everything becomes arbritrary in the end.

Mabye we didn't handle Ewil the best way we could have, but this thread is not about if we should start from the freezer or not. It's how. Own category, what timing. People who have never ran the game should not have input on how people play and enjoy their video games.

Again i am sad that you feel very strongly about this, it's probably easy to come back and see all this. It might seem sudden to you. But we have been talking about this for a long time. I am glad that you care about the game and feel strongly about it. But we are all generally nice people and we can talk about things without things getting heated. I really want to hammer home that this is about having fun playing video games together.

It really is not easy having the runners of this game call out that they want this, and get yelled at by people who never have played the game or haven't done so in a long time. I have tried to be open to all sources, i have made everything democratic, i have made this forum post so that people know. Section of my original Discord post on the subject in November: "Wasting 10 minutes of your only life on earth to do something impossible to fail that everyone can do should not be mandatory to have fun. I suggest that people who want to start their runs from the freezer may do so, they would have to start their timer at 8:00 so that people who grind the start still has an advantage." With an attached poll under the post, which was then pinned in the Discord. People did not want to start from the freezer at a disadvantage and felt it was splitting hairs even more.

So it would be nice if you could realize that we are all on the same side, we can all talk about anything and there are other solutions.
