Hi all,

A few players suggested changing item placements in official tracks for the upcoming 1.4 release. I am strongly against it for two reasons: i) I don't think the new item placements are better for gameplay. On the contrary, the changes may lead to even more front-runs. ii) The changes would invalidate many records we have set over the past couple of years.

I am writing here mainly because of (ii). Benau seems to be considering the suggestion. If you have an opinion about this, please say so in the main STK IRC channel (bridged to matrix, telegram, discord) or contact Benau directly. It feels like I am the only one interested in speedruns there.

Cheers, Haenschen
