I know all runs need vid right now but when this game's speedrunning demand lowers, what would be a good time that requires video, maybe times under 1:30:00
@Duduoro the: OP didnt mean "< 1:30" but "> 1:30" but i also disagree. there are always fools, who will say "i beat the game in 1:43 now as i dont have to proof it." and thats simply not correct. i know, when this site released originally, there werent much video entries, but as technique evolves, we should go with it and say: every run must be video-proven.
I don't run this game, but I think times over some amount (maybe 1:30:00) should be allowed without video. In general, if someone has a mediocre or bad run, they just want to post on here because they want to compare themselves to the general public or keep track of their progression. Sure, there will be a few people who cheat the system. But at that level of play, do 1-3 people lying about their times really mean that much? If you're like me and can't record or aren't allowed to record your videos, then having a video barrier rather than requiring all times to have videos is really, really helpful.
I agree with @smajet. Not only everything he says, but even if people do cheat the system and just say they got a 1:30, at that level of play it does't matter. They aren't getting any kind of recognition for it.
i agree that it should be done in the future, but It's wayyyyyy too soon to decide on a "times under X", i mean we are still in the new WR everyday stage^^
It would be unfair to people, who really tried to get some time and then get beaten by someone who maybe didn't even play the game(and I know some people who do that)
@uberphenom: right, they wont get recogniton, but neither will the people on place (e.g. fake time 1:34 on 145th) 146th with a real (honest) time of 1:37. they of course get also no recognition without the fakes, but for a personal standing: they feel worse then than they actually are. seems marginally only, but think of, what COULD happen, if you open up all the free-entry-doors...i mean, i dont run this game, im not mod, i didnt join discord, i dont care about wr, but its simply not fair. but thats not mine, not yours, not our all decision, let the mods dicuss and discharge their duties. :)
If it’s gonna be a recording based thing I think we should implement it one category at a time, because any% has like 200 runs already and categories like 253 moons and 503 moons don’t have many runs.
[quote]if a video wasn't required on sub 1:30, then everyone would say they got a 1:29:59.59. literally everyone.[/quote] Except literally everyone wouldn't. In fact barely anyone would. Stop worrying about a non-issue.
Submitting any run for any game without proof seems like a joke to me.
With times changing why not use a placement limit. Your time is in the top 100-150 of runs. You need a video. If not it's a matter of trust and honesty.
The problem with requirements for top X is that someone could delete their run in that top X, and the run underneath that top X could have no recording, making that run invadlid. The best way to work it out is if it is a time based thing, you have a time under X, you require a recording.
If somebody deletes their run, you still got beaten by that number of other runners. And if somebody is caught cheating despite them having a video, and 201st place happens to be in the 5% that have no video, it's gonna be so exceptional that nothing would have to happen
