Title.
Since this is a category extensions Sub, could all the player levels(you know that second option in the main menu that you never clicked on) that are already pre-installed in the base game be added as level leaderboard?
Hello there.
So as you probably know if you reading this, a new extension Called Atlantis recently dropped out of nowhere, that mainly had a new campaign, and a new mode.
This offer the possibility of 3 new categories: -Atlantis run:Start at lvl 1 end when you enter the portal at the end of Atlantis. Interesting because it's shorter than Hades run and also Harder overall, no a real game end tho so there that. -Accomplished Atlantis Run: Start as an accomplished hero and take the portal the tartarus then back, wich will take you directly to the Atlantis campaign.(same + and - that above) -Tartarus Run: Kill Tartarus, starting from lvl 40. Since you can directly go to tartarus from the start of a Accomplished hero run, this is the category that make the most amount of sense, even thought it's an UltraRNGfest (but this never stopped anyone).
Are those good enough to be considered full categories? i'd say yes, but did not test it quite enough to know for sure.(especially tartarus that i didn't really touch)
Beside That, it also Add/Tweak lot of things, and after testing quite a lot here is the one that i think are relevant from a speedrun perspective.
-You can now play the game using Dx11! This make the game more stable, and also somewhat change the way freeze work?(i can make more than 80+ point easy with DX11 in one freeze, way easier than with dx9 with the same setup to Slowdown my pc)this is obviously PC specific so you should test out how it compared for you, DX9 is still possible to use.
-pointdupe for skill work differently, it's hard to explain but basically if you try to dupe anything that's say for example level 14/15, when you cancel the point, the skill will downgrade to 0/15. it can be a pain if you aren't paying attention, but doesn't change anything beside that if just don't dupe on a skill you don't want to keep.
-Pressing shift when buying potion make you buy 10 by click(20 if you use both mousse button) extra small speed gain but it's nice.
-item now display rarity without the need of the cursor irrelevant speed gain (for searching boots) but it's nice.
-New Skill! not clear how much time is gained for it, but there is definitely some in a few classes(new Rune mines are Fantastic for example, nature is also really good.)
-Higher skill point cap, 40 instead of 32, probably make you win like 5 sec in a full run yeah.
And that's it i guess. What are you thought?
Hello in there.
So! With the arrival of ragnarok also came a new option called "accomplised hero", wich let you a the start of a new character start the game directly at the ragnarok DLC and lvl 40.
Put it simply, i thinks this mode should have it's own category.
It allow for thing other category don't: a short category, a good entry point for eventual new player, and more importantly a way easier glitchless run.
So in the latest Nintendo Direct Mini, N just announced a new free update(AKA Mandatory) that's going to add new outfit in the game... Which gonna probably mean change in the 100% ruling.
This also mean that now, we can easily guess this won't be the only update this game will receive, and glitch getting patched are a real possibility.
Thought on the future?
I'm having a really hard time getting the game to lag every time so i wasn't able to finish a run yet... BUT! When i do get it, i'm able to get 23-24 point every time thanks to something no one aparently seem to do in the run i saw. so i made a little video on how to do it, and save some time on run:
Hope this help!
