So Arie found a skip for Savant - http://www.speedrun.com/run/9yonpd1z
And his reaction was so funny when he found it that I made a video about it lol.
What's the consensus here? I would prefer having the default time as W/O loads. What does everyone else think?
Me and a friend plan to do the whole recruit a friend+xp potions+BoA gear, dungeon Q and event spam at 90+ to see the fastest possible time it takes to go from 1-100.
Would be nice to see a category without restrictions to be able to submit a run here.
Hello, me and Ylevolm will be submitting a Co-Op any% soon but one thing we kept running into is bugs that prevent us from continuing the game and random game crashes.
Some of the bugs and game crashes are consistent like the final mission 1st phase with the key, we kept getting an infinite loading screen every time and he had to leave the game, a failure screen would pop up and we would barely skim the 1st phase completion and be able to continue for when he rejoined.
When loading an autosave to save time traveling if I even touched the mission before he completely loaded in (sometimes even when patiently waiting), bugs, bugs everywhere and game crash immediately and consistently.
There was also a few escorts that, de-synced in a sense, where the truck was one place on the map for me and another for Ylev and if he flew the helicopter he was too far from mine and vice versa and we could not continue unless restarting the mission, sometimes several times.
There was another mission where Johnny would not open the chest on the ship until restarting the entire mission which was easily like 10+ minutes gone if not subtracted or timer not paused.
In solo play we did not find these issues, therefore in co-op I hope that mods for this game will accept time subtraction or pausing the timer until resuming the position that could not be advanced upon and time stamps for these occurrences can of course be noted because there is no way co-op will be an enjoyable/consistent speedrun otherwise, we already tried messing with the game, game settings and some other tricks and it did not fix these bugs from occuring which is why I bring this up.
Those who wish to be interviewed please post "I would like to be interviewed" or something of that nature and post the game + category you would like to talk about and also if you have a working microphone and or a working camera.
Title - “This Is The Run”
Length: 56-80 minutes
Subject: Speedrunning Documentary
Focus
1.Speedruns+categories
2.Glitch hunting
3.High end gameplay
4.Optimizations/routing
5.The community
6.Individual runner interviews - 1 primary and 1 secondary to act as a backup if the primary is unable to attend the recording session (USA is the exception with 2 primaries)
- Different assortments of information + video clips to include the runners speedrun
Individual Runner Countries and Participants + Questions
1.Each runner will start with a greeting (and if possible a fun/respectable hand gesture) in their native/primary language
2.What game and category do you speedrun?
3.Why do you speedrun _/why is your favorite game to speedrun?
4.What got you into speedrunning/why do you like it?
5.What do you like or think is unique about the speedrunning community?
Special Interview Questions (ie: glitch hunters)
1.What got you into ?
2.Why do you enjoy ?
3.What do you like or think is unique about the speedrunning community?
Each runner must discuss a different game (this means if Zelda OoT has already been selected you must chose another game or forfeit your interviewee spot) for as short as 30 seconds and no longer than 2 minutes. Each runner should preferably speak the native language of their country (with translations) however this is not a requirement. No duplicate games are allowed to provide the highest variety for the documentary and all categories and concepts must be covered by the end of the last country runner interview (CAM & MIC STRONGLY PREFERRED however, CAM is not a requirement) and this can include the following…
•Any%
•100%
•Glitchless
•Special Categories (ie: no special warps, 2 player 1 controller, blindfolded)
•Glitch Hunting (Lance_)
•Optimizations/smart routing
•Fun Tricks
•Endurance Speedrunning (marathons, 6+ hour runs)
Note: If certain categories and topics are not met, slots for already full countries will be opened up (ie: USA runners who want to talk about glitch hunting) and if any countries are not listed they will be added upon runners from a new country requesting to be interviewed, once a post is put on the forums I will be selecting runners until all slots are filled or until 1-2 weeks have passed and meanwhile for those selected early, I will begin scheduling interviews (via Skype/facetime, etc) with each primary meaning PLEASE LIST some sort of contact information on your initial post, I will update this post and or contact each runner individually to let them know they have been selected, those selected will have a run of their choice featured in the video/film.
Remember, the goal of this documentary is to represent speedrunning and the speedrunning community and all the amazing things that take place so diversity is key!

I just realized I never made an introduction post so hello everyone, I have a lot of ambition to do fun stuff with this community because the people here are all genuine in their own ways and I have already made some great friends. I have always made videos and GMV's (gaming music videos) as a hobby and really enjoyed doing so but after talking with some runners I wanted to tackle my biggest project yet.
A really nice documentary for the speedrun community, so I look forward meeting many of you :) and am currently working with BubblesDelFuego on getting this project going.
I'm going to be working on a route for this game after I finish my casual play-through but I wanted to make sure I either get mod or someone puts the rules in place that runs, to save the most time from what I've seen so far should be done on Easy difficulty but no with no aim or melee assist.
In addition, I would suggest separating PC/Console as I'm sure there are many differences like with other games (ROTTR). Same goes for Any% Glitched/Glitchless if major glitches are found for this game.
Wanted to throw this out early since no one has submitted a run yet so that confusion is prevented.
I will make another post for the start and end times later on but if someone has finished the game already feel free to pitch a suggestion.
You can always change this back if you disagree but I kind of only want to see Easy Any% runs now that I think about it just to see more maximized full game runs and not fumbling around for objects trying to kill guards and what not.
I decided to only have normal as a category just to reduce the amount of empty spaces and gain more potential run submissions, normal is a good balance anyways as the only noticeable difference I see is the amount of AI spawning and the health (1-3 hits) that it takes for them to die.
Add BnH247 on steam with the fire/ice yin-yang as my profile picture.
I have a discord server as well and it would be nice to get people together to have fun, organize races and anything else we can think of.
Hello, I really enjoy gaming and have enjoyed speedrunning games for awhile but am now starting to formally get game times recorded but I am noticing that many people's runs are going unnoticed or unapproved so I would like to request access for a Mod status for all of the above so I can assist the community for existing games, new game requests, etc. Please let me know if there is someone I can contact to obtain access to this or what I would have to do to obtain this access.
Need each level as me and my team will be submitting runs for each level and the unofficial times are as follows.
The Horn of Magnus - 10:12:85
Supply & Demand - 5:34:65
The Wizards Tower - 13:34:16
Engines of War - 10:54:19
Garden of Morr - 8:56:00
The Enemy Below - 6:11:19
The White Rat - 6:00:00
Smuggler's Run - 5:25:46
Black Powder - 3:03:00
Man The Ramparts - 5:14:25
Wheat & Chaff - 5:28:00
Well Watch - 14:56:00
Waterfront - 5:39:68
This was before we knew the start times for any% are when the screen goes black before character control so I will be commencing the timer at the correct starting point in the future and will submit when we are able to get together and redo the levels.
