Individual Level (Time Attack) Leaderboards?

Title says it all really! Is there a reason such haven't been implemented here?

Even without making categories for every single char/diff/boss combination, something like the boss rushes as a whole could be very well included in my opinion.

In game leaderboards do it fine for bosses and boss rush tbh. Those are what we've always used.

Only for steam, full of cheated results & no proof. I don't think having the complete boss rushes under IL leaderboards would be too much to add. Would be nice to compare results with a legit playerbase in my opinion.

In fairness, it doesn't take a genius to see when a time is obscenely better than another, such as the ingame leaderboard time for Yunica easy.

But for video comparisons, there is definitely at least some merit. We have a discord with most of the community available in it, feel free to ask about boss rush runs. I can give you the link through a Twitch PM if you'd like.

As for ILs in story areas, however, there's no real point in my opinion. You can theoretically just grind to max level and do all of Guilty Fire for instance and it'd technically count. Plus the start and stopping points are arbitrary.

The concern with leaderboards is generally the idea that adding a category should be for stuff people already run, rather than adding a category in order for people to run it (i.e. people run the game because they find meaning in it already rather than run the game because there is a leaderboard tracking it.) Basically, the discussion begins with asking if people are going to run it to begin with or if it's simply going to be a leaderboard dominated by one runner because nobody else cares. (I personally would be fine doing boss rush runs at some point but I have other things I would like to do first).
