Fellow Speedrunners,
I would like to invite you to participate in the current rule discussion taking place in the following discord https://discord.gg/c8Mf7HcctY by answering the 7 questions pinned in the channel "discussion_lists". This discussion will end on December 6th resulting perhaps a rule change. We all would appreciate your individual opinions on the pinned subjects and thank you in advance for taking part.
A reminder to everyone that the discussion will end tomorrow, so make sure to participate before it's too late. I've updated the discord link so that it doesn't expire anymore. Another discussion regarding the setup of the latest category "Any% Season" will follow up after this one.
The discussion ended up with the following results:
- Should tcp/ip rolling be prohibited? And if not, should loading times be excluded from tcp/ip rolling? Consensus: No, it should be left as it is without excluding the loading times
- Should IGT, which also serves as a kind of an anti-cheat measure against splicing, get removed? Consensus: No
- Should the target line -ns, which serves as an anti-cheat measure as well when not used, remain prohibited? Consensus: Yes
- Should classic remain allowed? Consensus: Yes
- What should be the by default displayed category? Consensus: Should stay as is, because it has always been like this
- Should RTA timed runs be treated as legacy? Consensus: RTA should stay mixed with IGT
- Should HC runs be submittable to their corresponding SC category? Consensus: No, they shouldn't be mixed together
There are 2 Small additions to the rule sets:
a ) Players x: The Player setting has to be changed at least once between the first monster kill and the entering of the World Stone Chamber.
This addition is placed to distinguish this category more clearly from the /players 1 and /players 8 categories.
b ) Video / Submission rules: If you are playing and recording the game on full screen, please follow blazer-flamewing's guide on how to set this up properly to avoid black screens.
