Hi all,
I was looking at the leaderboard and noticed that there was no full game (from pressing Start through completing MSQ: The Ultimate Weapon for ARR, or MSQ: Before the Dawn for the patchline / start of HW) speedrun!
I haven't seen the speedrun rules adapted to an MMO in looking around the web, but I think most of them would translate easily. I'd like to propose the following to accommodate treating FFXIV MMO aspects as a marathon and see what you all thought:
Mark whether cutscenes in Westwind / Praetorium / Castrum Meridianum are currently unskippable (~1.5hrs delta)
-
Option A - Marathon
-
Option B - Allow randos in the DF
-
Option C - Allow swapping players
-
All members need to start from level 1 at the same time ("clock starts when pressing start at the start screen")
-
Only a fresh toon; appearance can be saved in advance Allowed account buffs:
- Road to 60 server
- FC buffs
- Silver Feathers
- Mailed items
- Food / meds / etc from the normal game Disallowed help:
- No handouts ("Oh, here's 1,000,000 gil")
- No jump potions
- No buying gear above equippable at level 1
- No undersized from non-included people
- No mounts from non-included people (shouldn't get the speed bonus until you unlock it)
-
The same physical player per PC, no swapping
-
No toons made ahead of time (but saved appearances are ok)
-
No modified clients / botting
Questions:
- Is it ok to exchange gil to other players for vendor-available gear?
- How are we with gear bought on the marketboard?
there was a discussion for a full ARR MSQ category, it will be added tommorow when im done with work.
