1/10. The consistent ignorance of asking users whether they want to switch to a new layout instead of just forcing it on them multiple times is already crossing the line. I despise how each game now shows up to 100 runs per page instead of the infinite number it used to be from 2022 and earlier. The "Latest Threads" Feature is unnecessary to me as you can just click on the Forums and see if there is always something new.
The game's cover, unless it's a very specific size, is now cropped and can cover up a good size of the whole game's artwork.
Not to mention the moderator icons now show the avatars which are also cropped...
Good god, I'm seriously considering just deleting my account and creating a portfolio of my own. I'll give it one more chance, but if they change something yet again and it becomes unfavorable, I will be leaving speedrun.com permanently.
It's been a long time coming, finally someone who actually deserves this gets it.
NOTE TO MODS: THIS RUN IS UNKNOWN WHETHER IT IS COMPLETED OR NOT, HE SPLIT THE TIMER AFTER BEATING DARKNITE INSTEAD OF NITEMARE.
Everything since Elo purchased speedrun.com.
I sincerely hope this update is a joke because I am now strongly considering deleting my speedrun.com account and just making my own portfolio instead. The fact that Elo just keeps ignoring everyone and doing everything for their own pleasure will continue to turn off more users on this site and it won't be long from now. Please for the love of God, STOP and LISTEN TO US FOR ONCE. No one asked for any of this, and not to mention now we have pointless ads on the sides. We're now far from what used to make this site so charming in the first place, and it's going from infuriating to pure exasperation.
Why fix something that's already fixed? The old layout was just fine, no need to condense it and even add the "news" article because I'm sure ~90% of everyone doesn't remotely care in the slightest. Backing up Timmiluvs on this one.
I am very happy this is now a thing. But how will this affect the leaderboards though? Will there be a 2nd final time added such as "Real Time" or "Time With Loads"?
@ShikenNuggets - Ok, thanks in advance. Like I said, I'll be sure to submit my first run then when I do it.
Note: Neither of the moderators on the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance speedrunning leaderboards (speedrun.com/ffta) have been active in a while. From what I've heard, Vallnoir has quit speedrunning back in July 2018, while the other moderator - noxlol, hasn't been to speedrun.com 6 months ago. I would like to apply as a moderator as I am someone who wishes to learn how to speedrun the game and that I'm pretty much online whenever possible.
Regards, Blitz
I do like the newer style of this layout though are still a few things I have to point out:
- First off, the opacity; there used to be an option where you can make your profile and games have an opacity of 0-100%, but now it's gone.
- splits.io Golds are not highlighted; they're white, just like the other ones.
Otherwise, this a very large step in the right direction and I'm impressed how you took the advice from everyone and decided to make it better. Keep up the good work!
No Menu%? (Complete the run without ever opening the KH2 menu. If Level 1, equipping No Experience is required and is the only time allowed to open the menu).
Congratulations to everyone who won. I believe all of them will do an incredible job moderating their respective games.
