I have been watching Simplys tournament on YouTube and it’s the reason I looked into the speedrun records and registered on here about two weeks ago. So yeah I think it’s a great time to get new people. I know everyone is different but I probably wouldn’t have signed up here and actually played if the record was unbeatable or if I had to do 50min runs of RSG to start with.

Most of the fun was watching the top runs and being like ‘I could do that’ and then trying your best (and failing when you realise how hard it is). I had a modest goal to get into the top ten of SSG but seems virtual impossible (and new times will still be incoming from old versions as well) unless I quit work and become a full time twitch streamer 😂

I don’t have any solutions though, just adding my perspective as a recent convert

Look forward to your 1.16.100 exclusive tournament Wilbor 😃

They never auto update when you want them too!

Realistically how many people are speed running on console at the moment? Seems like very few. Looking at some other threads it seems splitting up categories is not workable due to the small size already.

I can’t see myself (or any other noobs) starting out knowing your best possible run will still be like 3 mins behind the WR but just with an * beside it though, just cos you joined in at the wrong time.

I guess the top % of lads who speedrun every day will continue to do so and they’ll prob still get new better time’s but yes, 1 in 50 runs being viable now is not appealing for SSG (especially if PC bedrock can stay on the old version which I think they can?)

I know it’s just one of those things but just find it annoying after getting into it the last few weeks. How often are these kind of things changed, is it likely to change in a month or is this it now for another year?

Lol @lagissad hope your phone / laptop is ok

I’m guessing it depends on what category you are running. Of course there are different routes to go down, I guess killing ender men will be the main path now. I’ve only run set seed though and people were doing the whole game in about 5 minutes so it’s not realistic to beat that now (not that I ever was anyway)

It take a a lot more time to run seedless (random seed I meant) , especially as most runs will take like an hour when your starting out. Thanks for the advice though

That really sucks. I’m guessing other methods of getting them is too slow compared to the old way so there’s not much point of running on Xbox or PS anymore. After I just started 😂

I noticed after the Nov 17th patch (I’m on Xbox) that piglins hardly ever drop pearls anymore, I checked the notes and it says “Piglins now offer similar bartering items as they do in Java Edition”. I’ve had several runs when the piglins go through 60 gold and seems lucky if you get 3 pearls. I get about 10 bottles of water instead.

I can’t even beat my own time of 12 mins now never mind get closer to anyone at the top. I’m new to all this so what do people do when this happens, just wait for the next update and hope they change it? Or am I just being really unlucky with the drops 😂
