So basically I Can't do Vanilla if I have Iceborne then as my last thing to get clarified? I just want to be sure of these changes and such should I even think about hoping back into doing runs in general.

Replicant has now been added back to the boards and your run was added.

So how exactly does Iceborn affect the Vanilla boards if runners have players have Iceborn but want to do vanilla content? what are the restrictions? does this board become obsolete to them in that case?

The other thing to note is it becomes even less of a active category because its exclusive to PC by that point as well. But in general I would say to my experience on that kind of stuff to be dishonest and unsportsmanlike. If the game supported seeds itself that there would be no issue with having something like @lilmaeyyo mentioned for seeded categories but still would be an exclusive category and probably much less ran.

Ontario, CanadaMASH5 years ago

I'd like to know more about what is men't by previewing the seeding? Also if this involves using tools outside or tampering with the game to gain advantage then its considered cheating validation of the run in competitive standards.

Ontario, CanadaMASH5 years ago

Seeding has been shuffled and locked in. Predictions are open.

Match scheduling will begin shortly from this point on.

Feel free to make an auto splitter for pc that relably works and tracks load less and rta properly. If your loads are inconstant perhaps invest into a better Drive or pc in general. Speedrunning is a hobby and hobbies are investments first and foremost.

@H1lli My understanding of how the game works is that it scales everything based on the individual players better known as normalization which is a system that seeks to always scale to match players growth to a point.

This means that even if players are of different strength the game is set to scale them up or down to match what ever difficulty the game is set at. A weaker player can play with a stronger player and the game will be scaled to both of them accordingly and so on.

Since the game also has "difficulty levels" this means that it can further adjust the amount of scaling based on the selected difficulty. Harder difficulties means the scaling difference is much greater.

Also the fact that your are strictly speaking of New Game+ there is no restriction to a players Trait Level or Gear, since your are replaying the game with already acquired progression thus it would always be better to indeed have stronger gear and a higher Trait Level.

New Game on the other hand would mean all players start on a fresh character which means they are already restricted from having already acquired progression. The one thing that makes Coop difficult for this tho is that all players must first complete the tutorial solo till they can activate the "Red Eye" which unlocks travel to Earth and thus allows coop/online to be used. This means that the coop partners would need to quit their worlds to then join one of the other players that are hosting.

To me this posses a few complications for verifying coop runs from the other players that don't have their own video from their perspective also submitted as well. It would be something to keep a keen eye on when it comes to New Game Coop runs explicitly. I don't think requiring each player in Coop runs to submit a video is needed but we should be aware and know what we are looking for when it comes to this category specifically.

So with the recently large update across the board of the game that has seemingly addressed allot of the issues with crashes and AI, it also brough allot of changes/re-balancing to various weapons,armor,trinkets,mods and traits. This ultimately changes the game for speedruns going forward even more so with Nightmare having now doubled health as well.

My Question to the community is how do we adapt to this very significant change which we should have expected to come?

Also what sort of future plans do we have down the road for when they add new content like the coming Adventure/Instanced Mode and so on.

I have several ideas that I will share in due time just curious on what others are thinking about right now in terms of this massive update that we got at the very least.

Ontario, CanadaMASH5 years ago

I'm going to suggest that you perhaps use RTA if not already because there is common issues with game crashes and other shenanigans that ultimately make IGT an ineffective way to time runs.

Also timing should probably end once the Nightmare is slain rather then collecting the item, because there is the odd occurrence where the item collections are delayed even more so in Multiplayer.

These are only my thoughts/suggestion and nothing more I'm looking into more of he game before I attempt real runs of it but I have been enjoying and testing different things out.

Ontario, CanadaMASH5 years ago

In the amount of times I've done runs the frame rate is very inconstant no matter the resolution I've played in. I have not personally noticed any improvements of frame rate at lower resolutions.

So it seems that Onechanbara Z2: Chaos has a common PC bug to do with the games FPS being tied to the games physics and animations. The game is intended to be played at 60 FPS no more else it appears to alter gameplay significantly creating a large uneven playing field with certain hardware.

I cannot 100% confirm why it is happening or with what hardware specs yet but further investigation will take some time. We do know that currently like another game I know that has similar issues "NieR: Automata" that FPS breaks the games physics and animations which is not suppose to be happening regardless of Hardware specs.

At this time if PC runs are being submitted they must show an FPS counter and must be clearly visible in the recording, this will not affect previously submitted runs that show no signs of FPS playing a part in the games physics and animation speeds being significantly faster.

If anyone else has any insight on this feel free to let us know. Once we have an better understanding of this problem with the PC version we will look at retooling the games ruleset for PC runs exclusively where its necessary going forward, this also may require a complete split on the categories for PC and Console.
