Resetting Times

Hey Everyone. After the plague territory update, I need to reset all of the times. The old times are just not applicable anymore. I know it hurts, but it needs to be done. :-\

Yeah with eliminating all hearts and waiting 8 minutes for each legacy quest those times are just impossible to compare against anymore

It's true, with the game mechanic changes & no way to play an older version of the game, the times do need to be reset, If anyone has any suggestions or comments, now is the time to make them.

I don't know honestly, I clean wipe would probably be needed by any run over roughly 2 months ago. Then again it would be setting precedent that every time they release a new update changing the game mechanics we would have to clean wipe all the speed runs. It would just be exhausting for players to keep having to do runs over and over and over if every update we cleared the board. Is there any way to make a sub-game? With different versions of the game having a whole new set? Therefore none of the old runs would get deleted but people still speedrunning it now (like myself) would have a chance at beating some of those times because everyone is playing on an equal playing field. Just my thoughts, that's my opinion on it.

I'm not sure if its possible to sort of "save" the current leaderboards and make a whole new set, but having some record of the outdated times would be nice. We have wiped the leaderboards at least once in the past (with the juggernaut edition release, I believe), so this wouldn't be the first time. We wouldn't have to wipe with every update necessarily, but updates that seriously change game mechanics, especially to make things slower, should probably get a new leaderboard. For example, before update 25 you could do the tutorial to get many less hearts (19 on lethal, iirc) but now we're stuck with 28 hearts no matter what. It'd be impossible to beat those old times.

That said, I'm currently going through the backlog of submitted runs, watching them, and verifying them, so hopefully we'll get all the runs onto the leaderboard before we refresh it (whatever that looks like).

I believe it is my intention to add OzzieBoy9901, AridLearner9702, & Llama77 as verifiers tomorrow unless anyone has any objections
