Hello heisters!

The Payday 3 Leaderboard is currently planned to be locked until the 5th of October (2 weeks post-launch). This means you will not be able to submit any runs to the leaderboard until this grace period has ended.

The reasons for locking the leaderboard are rather simple:

1. Allows runners (and moderators) the chance to familiarise themselves with the game properly, and provide a stress free environment to enjoy the game for a short while post-release. 2. Allows the moderators to overcome some degree of teething pains that come with creating new categories and generalised rulesets, such as how runs should be timed.

We hope you understand, and greatly appreciate your patience!

And remember, keep those helmets popping ;)

Like Feast said, shovelling huge chunks of time into something to "be the best" can have incredibly toxic traits. Those 30 hours i spent, were from about 9pm -> 4am, while i was meant to be revising for my exams at school. Aswell as some other sessions earlier on in the day, ofcourse, resulting in me not eating evening meals because... "What if i get THE run.". It was borderline an addiction, to be "the best".

In my recent reservoir dogs run, even with RNG modifier it took me over 4 hours to get a run which i was happy with. Not even a perfect run. Even with RNG modifier, it still takes a serious amount of time dedication for a single run. I remember, before we allowed RNG manipulation, i spent over 30 hours on breakin' Feds, trying to get a decent time. 30 HOURS... all over the course of a week and a half. RNG modifier was necessary, to protect the lives of runners, and to allow newer runners to enter the community while maintaining a system of skill + time over yolo runs.

Runs which tie a current world record shouldn't notify every follower of that game with "X WR has been beaten by Y with a time of Z". It should say, "X WR has been tied by Y with a time of Z". Just a little nitpick heh.

Yes, it will be done when it's done, so don't stress over it.

Yes, i have, actually. All of have. There have been periods of time for over a month or 2 for a run to get verified, purely because the moderators are busy. Nothing can be done about it, except just needing to wait.

The moderators have been busy with school and such recently.

Only issues i can see with this idea is the large timescale required to do this, 4 or 5 hours at minimum without Payday crashing. Another issue i see would be how one slightly bad piece of RNG later on through the run could effect your run massively.

I was wondering, if I had the mod "Returnable Masks, Patterns & Materials" active. Would this prevent a recording being valid? Or would I just need to show through the Beardlib tab that this is the only mod I have?

Sorry, didnt mean IGT / RTA i meant time without loads and time with loads

Just food for thought, especially considering loading times can drastically vary between hardware limitations. I've noticed it myself transferring from my old laptop to my new MSI one.

Makes sense

Hm.. If you dont mind my input, id say keep it for EAW and not FOC as playing as the zann consortium you could just spam Canderous tanks or M.A.L Corps. Thus making it a race to just get them and rushing the enemy base. I think this is a great idea though, gets more runners into the game :)
