I'm curious as to how Figure's new AI works, because unless I'm misinterpreting it, it appears this run should have ended at the first figure room. Dude literally just sprints through and figure completely ignores him. Does figure have to reach where he first heard a player making noise before redirecting to newly made noise after the fact? My past experience indicates no but this run sure makes it seem probable.
As it turns out, my times are still on the board, they just aren't visible on my profile for some reason (I was searching for them on my profile because I could not locate any variations of the rooms leaderboard at first, current patch or older patches both)
I do understand, I'm not stupid lmao
I wasn't able to find the entire category because it's hidden now. Apparently its in a weird dropdown menu now that exists for no reason other than to complicate things. So the category hasn't been deleted. It just appears to be deleted at first glance. It still doesn't explain why my runs in the category aren't on the older patch leaderboards though (in non-rooms related categories they are.)
Wiping the runs isn't necessary though. Even runs prior to Hotel+ still exist on the leaderboard, they just aren't on the current patch. If we're keeping old boards from older Hotel patches, why would we not do the same with Rooms? Just make a fresh board for the new version.
Tbh I don't mind when my runs take a long time to be verified, with one exception:
If other runs that were submitted after my run was submitted are being verified before mine (i.e. skipping the queue) then yeah I'm annoyed. I've had this happen multiple times and it isn't supposed to happen, the runs are supposed to be verified first come first serve, not whoever a moderator likes the most.
At the end of the day we're all just here playing a game and trying to have fun though, it isn't really a big deal.
this is the funniest shit ive seen on here ever
My favorite category to run on Doors is A-1000, and I can't help but notice not only is A-1000, but all subcategories of the entire Rooms section have been mysteriously deleted. My runs have also been deleted (VERY unhappy about that.) Does anyone know why? I know with the recent changes Rooms is significantly easier but it would seem far more logical to me to add a new patch to it and save the old times on the old versions like we did with the hotel rather then just deleting it altogether.
Ought to add it but I'd make it go to A-1000 personally, or I suppose it could be two separate categories
it bothers me that people just cheese it by turning up their gamma, pretty much defeats the purpose of having dark rooms in the game.
I could have WR on some categories right now if I was willing to cheese it and just max out my gamma :l
Yea this is huge, a huge load of bs.
While it isn't currently known to be a practical to apply method during a speedrun, calling it "a huge load of bs" isn't exactly reasonable given just about anyone that has actually ran the game any decent number of times myself included has experienced it multiple times. I personally alone have experienced this bug on over a dozen occasions (It tends to occur more often when "Roundabout" is enabled, but can happen during a normal unmodified run as well.) It seems to happen when the game gets confused while teleporting you into Halt's hallway, causing you to not teleport, then teleport back. It could be caused by lag. While playing with multiple people being voided into the hallway also sometimes causes it, but not always.
I will note that I do not know if this is the case anymore as the game was updated recently, but at the time of your comment it absolutely was possible and happened quite often to me and multiple other people I played the game with.
Once all of the bugs have been ironed out and the hunt is over, I would love to see a "Full-Game" category where you must complete the Backdoors, the Hotel, and A-1000 all in a singular run within one life.
I have an attached example below.
No matter what is the reasons different categories exist. rift category is stupid as it basically requires set up every run, and considering how often runners reset that is just a who has no life challenge.
This point is ironic and bizarre considering all rooms categories require you to do pre-run setup (Reaching the Rooms entryway) as well as lots of category extensions (If you want to do runs of specific segments, like "Library" only runs or "Elevator" only runs, both runs I've ran plenty) You know you'll have to set up the run by actually, you know, reaching the library or the elevator. Setting up the rift isn't any different. I say this to say your point is either invalid, or if it is valid, like half of the category extensions leaderboard should be deleted as well as the entire rooms category.
That being said, I think the main reason we don't have a rift category is simply because we have so many categories that it gets to be messy and complicated. It's already hard to navigate the collective few hundred categories we have and adding a rift category to every single one would be tedious, time consuming, and the truth is there likely wouldn't be many people running the category simply because most people don't want to do pre-run setup. (This is the reason why you don't see that many times on segment-specific categories. If we could start out each run at the library, for example, then people would run the category more. Same goes for the final elevator. But because we can't, only a handful of people have ever seriously ran the category.)
I would agree that with the number of major changes that have been made, as much as I hate to say it, it probably is necessary to create a new leaderboard for the updated game. There are significant changes to when certain entities (particularly rush) can appear, damage from enemies has been changed, new items have been introduced, etc.
How long till the new update has its own category? Update just dropped
I've already completed my first run, lol
Can already do this with the generic unrestricted category, isn't really needed.
