Proposed rules for "act 2 level run" category

Hey y'all!

On the level leaderboards only act 1 has any runs right now, and I think that's kind of because it's not the easiest thing to define what a level run of the other acts would entail. I stumbled upon a guy on Twitch doing runs of acts 1+2 all main quests though, and I feel like that would be a decent use of the act 2 level run leaderboard if there's no other use for it.

The rules are somewhat similar to the act 1 any% run:

  • Timing starts when you gain control
  • Timing ends when you hand in the final main quest of act 2 (the kill Cronley quest) to Mornay in Devil's Crossing
  • Act 1 must be completely finished and all main quests in act 2 (kill Shanks, talk to Quade, kill Cronley) must be done

Since you do all of act 1 first, the run actually ends up being fairly interesting mixture of act 1, any%, and new strats. My route also has a death warp in it which I don't do in any other category, so there's that.

Here's a video of a proof of concept run I did:

I figure even if people don't want to make this an act 2 category, maybe it can be added as a misc. category or something because I dunno, I find it interesting anyway.
