For some reason the submission has 2 "Platform" selection. The two selections which are outlined as to what they do are in a guide made by Rave.
My question is, why go and add the extra step?
I doubt you couldn't add a rule that automatically adds anything labeled under PC to the PC category and anything else selected (being Xbox one, Xbox 360, PS4 and PS3) under console. It really isn't that hard.
Unless it's solely because of how the actual website is coded.
Can anybody give me an answer other than "That's just how it works"? Thanks!
I asked the same thing. My run got rejected because I didn't notice it at first because it wasn't there before iirc.
Do you even understand how this website works? I feel you're now just stirring up shit.
Snow, stop with your bipolar shit dude. I rejected the run because you made a mistake submitting and now you want some drama out of it? It's time to stop.
It's NOT redundant, it's NEEDED because of how this website works.
I was just asking because from what I remember this was not here before. But if changes happened and it's now needed that's totally fine.
Although zenix, you should probably try to be a bit more friendly. Talk like that (especially from a mod) isn't necessary, especially for a simple discussion.
That was never there before. That's the point being made. Zenix, there isn't any bipolar shit going on. Only simple facts. Kyo, I never said it was. But now that 2 people have noticed it perhaps it should have been mentioned that there are (randomly and for no reason) 2 of them.
Call me crazy but I'm 100% sure that there has always been that extra step to choose PC/Console because that's how the leaderboards have worked for this game since the times Trance and other people were also mods and made the transition to full-game leaderboards (and that means that it remained the same for the time I was not a mod). It was a non-issue. You might probably noticed it now because you made a mistake submitting.
And @Kil13rFTW , my reaction is being more agressive because I feel that there's always a dumb excuse to try to make me look bad as a mod, and you in particular called me some dumb shit in the past so I know you always try to bait me into being mad in my replies.
But whatever, as I said, the PC/Console thing has always been there pretty much. That's it.
PC and Console are different categories because console runners want their runs to be recognized for no particular reason, so they have their own special category for it.
For most games, this doesn't exist, and the fastest version is commonly used. This is why there is a platform section, to determine what platform the game was played on. For example, for the console category, you can choose PS3 or 360, etc.
Blame me. I was the one who created the boards as they are now when I was mod, with the two variables, so that PC and Console would be separate.
I don't think console runners crave anymore recognition for there runs than someone running on pc. Tbh that's a pretty ignorant statement lol. Console is basically always slower than steam so comparing a steam run to a console run simply isn't fair, but I'm not complaining. Just stating my thoughts on what cyberdemon531 stated because its stupid.
Separating pc and console is the fairest way to set up leaderboards, most of the time. And holy shit I just went through and read this forum. I can see some of the newish mods made an ass out of themselves :D
