No OoB Category?
4 years ago

Hey!

Me and some friends have been running the game pretty much since it came out, but we've been playing No OoB exclusively, since we like it more than any%. So we were wondering why there isn't a No OoB category on the leaderboards yet, as it was kind of the main category in the 1st game? Also having a separate category might encourage more people to run No OoB I assume, so we'd be happy to see it happen on the leaderboard. :)

Hey :) There will be No OOB categories at some point. Right now people are still having discussion on what categories they actually want to standardize on. Once we know what other categories should be added, No OOB will likely be added to some of them since there seems to be a lot of interest.

Hello everyone!

Are there any plans to have No OOB 100% categories? That would be super! Thank you! <3

Hey Jaychalke

I don't think many people have shown interest in a 100% No OOB category, so having a leaderboard for it is unlikely, at least for now, but leaderboards are only there for people to compete, so feel free to run whatever category you like even if there is not a leaderboard for it :D

Also, if you're interested in the speedrun of WotW in general and you're not in the discord yet, feel free to join it :)

As of a week or so ago, people have started running 100% Normal No OoB. So, it should be getting separated soon.

I support a 100% No OOB category. Here are few related questions:

  • Should the breakages of the wall from the other side (e.g. via Spirit Star) be permitted?
  • Should the category be No Major Glitches instead and what should they be?

My opinions are:

  • Don't allow breakages of the wall from the other side, since they are based on attacking things out of bounds.
  • Have No Major Glitches category, excluding the invulnerability-on-death glitches. While they are cool and technical glitches allowing for a silent swim and extra cutscene skips, I think the level by which they break the game is comparable with out-of-bounds.

Note, that those are purely subjective. I can see how people may consider sentry jump and feeding grounds skip quite major. I wonder what others think.
