United StatesFollowing May 8 2021 PoE Speedrun Changes, it was decided to clear the forum section out of the few posts that were existing to ensure that posts were topical to new format. This thread serves as an archive for the few posts that existed on forum prior to that date. Linked below is a series of imgur photo links with the topic of the archived thread
We are open to seeing suggestions about various run formats that may or may not be present. One of the considerations that we have to take into account is how active such a category will be. If you are interested in trying to get a new category going, you can post a thread about the category indicating its a proposed category with an initial run under that categories rules and see if it drums up any interest. If it generates sufficient interest, the category may be added as an official category. The official categories that are currently listed on the website are those categories that are currently used or have been used relatively recently ( post 3.8 ) in community organized races. Otherwise, they are official categories because there are a fair number of runs submitted for them (Brutus Rush for example).
This post will detail all changes made to the PoE speed running website:
The format of PoE speed running is being changed after review by Balaar, Chip_Idiot, Havoc616, ImExile, Keld0rn, Tytykiller, and critical staff members from the PoE Community Racing Discord.
Among the major and most relevant changes: (1) Reverted: HC/SC as a filter subcategory will continue to exist to allow us to better evaluate interest in SC runs (2) All nontwink solo leaderboard runs must show migrate all (3) A5 and A10 skill point and lab categories have been added (4) A3 Any % category has been added (5) Runs require VoDs that do not expire. Please submit through youtube. If not make sure it is a twitch highlight (6) Leader Boards are now ranked by class within a category instead of archetype. Archetype will still be used but as an informational category rather than a ranking category. If you are unsure of archetype, a moderator will correct/select it for you on run submission (7) Occasionally there may be a PoE speed run event currently ongoing. If that is the case, the particular event will be the default selected category while it is going on. Otherwise, A5 Any % and A5 Pts+Lab will be the first two categories, followed by other categories. Brutus, Oversoul, Lvl 80, Twink A10, and Coop A10, can be found in misc category section
Minor Changes: (1) Old threads have been archived to give the board a fresh slate so topics are relevant to recent major changes. If you do not receive a reply to a question/thread within a few days, please reach out directly to a moderator. You can do so through a message or through the PoE Community Racing Discord by sending a message
Edit: Any and all rules and categories/formats or proposals to change rules/categories/formats, will be regularly reviewed by moderators. Please feel free to post a separate thread about any such requests.
If you want a format that is currently not on PoE speedrun, we are open to adding formats if sufficient interest is shown by the posting of runs for that category in this forum or in the PoE community Racing discord.
