Heyo it’s Lucky77.

In the midsts of everything that’s going on, we realized something about the 3 full game runs on the site:

They all have DLC unlocked.

Let me explain. There is a DLC for both Xbox and PS3 that allow you to get all of the cars unlocked without earning the proper amount of season credits needed. This allows anybody to use any car to beat the season, and this makes the run... boring and repetitive.

In the interest of not making it seem like you have to buy the DLC, we (me and the rest of the mods) have decided to make the following clarifications:

1. In Any% and 100% runs of the game, you must start with a new save profile.
2. In Any% and 100% runs, you must have none of the DLC purchased if playing on Xbox360 or PS3.

This means we will be removing all of the current Any% and 100% runs that violate these 2 rules.

Happy Racing! -Lucky77

Now I understand while my runs were erased. But would it have been better to just create a category for the DLC? and just because you downloaded the car doesn't mean you know how to use it, its a little unfair to be punished for learning all the cars. And if you haven't notice no one as step up to do the challenges.

The reason why only one guy has posted a any% run yet is because we haven't routed the game at all. We have created a channel on the Discord so if you want to get involved, that's the spot.

About allowing the DLC... well, there are a few reasons we decided against that.

1. We can't force people to buy any DLC. Quarry doesn't exist in the career anyway, so all the DLCs would change is the cars that are already unlocked.
2. The "Unlock DLC" makes the game boring to play & watch as you simply choose the Firestorm for almost every event.
3. No DLCs exist on PC and PSP, so it would be like playing a completely different game there.

I have no clue why the DLCs were even legal in the first place, by the way. Buying a DLC to unlock all cars seems like cheating. It also makes most of the career trivial.

What I can see though is a NewGame+ category where the "Unlock DLC" is legal. That would only exist on X360 and PS3 though.

EDIT: I simply can't add a NG+ category. Speedrun.com does not allow subcategories for specific subcategories only. If I would separate console any% and console 100% into DLC and no DLC, these 2 subcategories would also exist on PC and PSP. Adding a "Any% NG+ (console only)" as a separate FG category could work.

EDIT2: Nope, that doesn't work either. Adding it means I would have to add more subcategories for the 4 versions and that would mess things up somewhere else (All Races, All Detonators). Sorry!

EDIT3: Yes, even with the redesign the site still has flaws. That's also the reason why there are no Survival leaderboards. Speedrun.com still does not support a point scoreboard.
