Aquitaine, FranceI personally can load all of these 1000+ games, and I even noticed this feature I didn't know about, it's cool but maybe it should be bumped up to 499 instead of 999 for everyone to have a chance to load the page...
*Edit: when I click "Load more runs" (Minecraft), the runs don't even load! Idk if it's supposed to show all of them from 1st to 1000+ but I expected to see only from 1000th to wherever it ends, until 1999 etc... Anyway, not sure what could be done by the devs to make this better for everybody, but the site clearly can't load more than 1000 runs at a time without a good struggle
I personally really enjoy this (relatively) new feature, but I almost never see any comment under anyone's runs. I'm often shy about commenting myself because I don't know if people like having comments under their own runs or not...
I don't know if it's not popular because it is yet too new on the site or if people genuinely dislike this feature, or just don't really care. Also maybe I'm wrong and some communities make large use of it, of course I can't know about every game on the site. Oh and I'm aware that many games disabled the comments for obvious reasons, especially when there's hundreds or thousands of runners, that's why I'm only considering runs with their comment section open and empty for this post.
Anyway, do you use the comment feature and what do you think about it?
Not sure this is a good idea... I agree with @Sizzyl and @SioN. I think the free custom badge is already really cool, it offers infinite possibilities alone, and with the color scale we already have it's more than enough for username diverity imo. I think leaderboards look great as they are now with all these names and flags!
Thanks for the feedback, I gotta say that I didn't see any reason to reject the run since it was IGT and his record clearly showed 6.43 from the start of the run, but I have to admit I didn't check the video description like obviously mentionned in the title, so that's my mistake.
Since this time was achieved thanks to hardware issues (as mentionned by @Aiivan after @TribitX 's comment), I do agree that the run should be rejected. Game manipulations like this, even unintentionnal, can't possibly be replicated by other runners, so the competition indeed becomes unfair.
I will contact Aiivan just to make sure that it's okay for him and I will reject his run from the Level 17 IGT leaderboard. Sorry again for this moderation mistake, thank you guys for the heads up.
(Here is the run for the record: https://www.speedrun.com/rider_mobile/run/zgd909jz )
Just found out about this thread, love the idea!
https://www.speedrun.com/layers_of_fear/run/yd3x8vxz My first run ever was on Layers of Fear, I even mentionned it in the run's description it's so cute. Speedrunning has been such a journey for me since!
Alright thanks guys!
@SioN well I feel that's pretty tough to ask, especially cause I'm a mod for a mobile game, so many people that aren't used to speedrunning submit their runs on Google Drives, Samsung shares, I even had one on TikTok once, etc. It's often a pain for me to verify (especially cause we do frame by frame), but I would feel bad requiring YouTube only, I don't want to limit the players too much. But I do agree that uploading a video on YouTube is often the least people could do, it makes it so much easier to verify
Calling out to all moderators out there, did it already happen that someone submitted a run by posting a shady or malicious link in the submission so that the mod would click it and open some kind of virus or something? I might just be paranoid but I do see weird links sometimes
I'd suggest Layers of Fear, it's a pretty easy game to pick up, (almost) no glitch to learn, just game mechanics and optimization. It's a fun run and progress comes really fast in the beginning! https://www.speedrun.com/layers_of_fear
There's also Observer from the same devs https://www.speedrun.com/observer
And because I love horror games... Take a look at Alien Isolation! https://www.speedrun.com/ai
I'll be honest, I don't understand the problem here... I don't see how your ghost hits the finish line twice in your Level 8 IGT run. Your 7.81 is good and that's it!
If your problem is that you beat your IGT PB on a level but the game doesn't update it, it's a very common glitch in ILs, and there's no solution, we just have to go with it.
If you want to clarify or talk about it more in detail, you can join the discord and maybe more members will be able to help :)
So if I understand correctly, the idea would be to have both RTA and IGT times on the same leaderboard for one single run, the same way than other games do with their "Time with loads" and "Time without loads"?
If it's that, I think it wouldn't be good for ILs, because RTA and IGT runs demand such different gameplay. We've never had anyone truly grinding IGT levels so far, but I know that some RTA levels were very competitive and had many runners fighting for the WR at a time.
It takes skill to finish a level as fast as possible, and so does flipping as much as possible, but the two are very different, so they deserve to remain separated.
You should be able to create a permanent invite link, let me try
Aaaaaand done, the permanent link is up
