Oregon, USAWe'd like to add a Solo (SRL Gear) category to the front page alongside the solo category. That way nobody gets knocked off the leaderboard. unfortunately, someone just changed the categories back to the original way without merging runs back into solo, so a couple of Fish's runs just vanished.... which is not cool. Fish still has his videos so we can re-post them, but I'm going to currently try to salvage them by re-making the category
This has nothing to do with us as moderators. The developers of speedrun.com pushed out a new layout platform today (July 3rd 2016), so several features may be broken. Please direct any complaints or suggestions to the speedrun.com devs
Thanks
Hey there, I was wondering if anybody else would be interested in hiding (not deleting or removing) the older (locked) missions from the front page to avoid clutter. Due to the recent influx of runs, I feel like it would be a good idea to clean the main page up a bit to appear more friendly and less confusing to new runners or visitors.
Again, the runs would not be removed, just hidden, leaving the current and relevant runs visible.
I'd love to know people's opinion on this, nothing is set in stone at all, just wanting to get some input on whether this would be okay or not.
Tank yuh.
Hey there, so it seems like the only mod here who is frequently active is Zecora_MLP. Jukesandstuff, doesthisusernamefi, and I have been grinding out some levels so there's a bit of a storm of levels and full game runs coming in. Is it possible to get more mods or maybe message some of the less-active mods to see if they're still around? It seems like its taking days to get verified for a 2-3 minute level.
So it turns out that the "Fast Enter" perk node on SRL Helmets makes the summoning time for a sparrow ¤literally¤ instant. Its not like a small buff, you can now get off a sparrow, pull out your ghost and instantly have a new sparrow. This means that you don't have to wait for your sparrow to regen its boost, you can literally just get off and get a new one.
Now I know what you're thinking, "I can just do this already without the helmet by getting off my sparrow and waiting for the longer summon time." Turns out that's super slow and not as fast as this. This is faster than waiting for your boost to regen too! Also, bonus feature: It should allow ¤any¤ class to sparrow fly indefinitely and quicker. Which is kinda awesome.
I made a video talking about using a Spark of light on the "A Guardian Rises" mission. I blathered on for a bit and attempted a (shitty) test run.
Using a spark during the cutscenes allows you to: -Gain all 3 classes of weapons -Gain a full set of armor -Gain a grenade ability early (you have to select the right subclass beforehand) -Transfer a better sparrow, lowering the time it takes to travel. -Transfer a heavy ammo synth, lowering the time it takes to kill enemies in the room. -¤possibly¤ let you transfer and equip a Year 1 MIDA, lowering the time it takes to travel on foot. -¤possibly¤ let you transfer and equip a Year 1 Bones of Eao, ¤possibly¤ letting you skip the khvostov gate and lower the time by a SHITLOAD.
My main question here is this: Is this against the rules/too cheesy for running that level?
The video is below and its a bit long because I did a shitty test run.
Looking at the latest KF Raid WR - 31:45 by Team Redeem http://www.speedrun.com/run/oy2xp19m from roughly 17:37 to 18:37 you guys spend a lot of time skating through the "maze".
Apparently, simply wiping once you reach the Golgoroth's Cellar load zone (17:37) will cause your team to spawn at Golgoroth's door, saving roughly 1 minute.
I know its a pretty small save, but I'm fairly confident you guys can break sub 30 mins pretty damn easily.
Here is a video showing the time and place to wipe.
Thanks to PSNtheBled for sharing this.
Its quite lonely being on PS4 in this community. Sure, I've got my PVE pals and raid groups, but runners? Nada, nope, zilch, zippo. There are so many Xbone users that are grouping together and such, so I'm looking for any other PS4 runners that would like to group up and share routes/ideas/glitches etc. Feel free to add me: Cleverusernombre Regardless of your skill level or knowledge of the game, I welcome anyone who's interested in speedrunning. :P
About a day ago the YouTuber Oophilly_215oO posted This Video: about a titan "samurai kick" glitch wherein he could actually fly backwards into the sky after using death from above in the seraphim vault.
I currently do not have a titan (hopefully when the TTK starts I'll make one and boost him) so if anyone on here would be able to do some research/testing on this glitch then it could be used as an EXTREMELY useful tool in runs.
There are a few important things/assumptions I want to note here: I think the use of this glitch NOT limited to only in the Seraphim Vault. What I'm guessing is happening is that when you use death from above it allows you to manipulate the direction/camera control after enough time has passed. My theory is that the "out of map" instant-death barrier in the Seraphim Vault is just low enough (or nonexistent) to allow the death from above enough uninterrupted time to cool down. So if someone were to reach an area with a lower death barrier then this silly glitch could possibly be harnessed as a tool. I think one of the best places this could be tested with is the Black Garden as it has a VERY low death barrier (seriously it takes like half a minute to die from falling). If anybody is able to test this and release a video that would be a serious favor to many runners. Also, if anyone would like to try this out with me on PS4, my psn is Cleverusernombre and I'm happy to help whenever.
