If one can prove that a speedrun is impossible using the same strats as a current WR, then the runs of a certain category should be cleared. (See: Skylands Leaper)

Several places that have consistent rubberband (unexploitable with current knowledge).

House Stairs (boosted) Pyramid Stairs Left Side (Leaper) (boosted) Log Jump from the first snowy island (left side)

I can give footage if needed, and you can try these yourself. (It's hard to explain the locations without images, so I may do it later).

this anticheat honestly.

There really isn't a point for me to stay when I'm not doing much of anything here these days.

Much of my stay has been accompanied by a dull, false hope that this game can be revived somehow.

However, I see no future for me here.

It's been fun.

As much as I'd like to provide input on how graceless this update was, I'll stay as neutral as possible about it in the OP.

Without sugarcoating it, warper, as a category, will be cleared of records. This is due to a recent Mineplex update that made it so that mid-air warping isn't doable, and that the player teleports to the ground the person they're warping to was last standing on.

For anybody who still cares, that is about the gist of it.

watch it if ur interested in listening to me ramble on and 'showing evidence'.

thunder is welcome to defend himself, but for now, he will be banned. Because of the amount of runs 'cheated', it will be a maximum time ban of 2 years.

we in the dragon escape moderation team take cheaters very seriously.

Thought it would make fun discussion. I'll discuss whether or not something along the lines of this should be implemented due to the nature of speedrunning + the fact that I haven't technically seen ANY. Feel free to give me any opposing points thanks.

P.S. This is talking about categories in which there isn't a separate category for menu grabbing (like no leap).

BANLIST:

MPDE/Starmonkay ThunderPlayz WATCHLIST:

jovanmunja ThermalGodlike crafterlegend1 ThunderPlayz Flare/Ryzal WarloxGames JesseMCSM Pyxelated CaptainPhoenix/GappledUHC RazorBlade8888

Everyone in the old banlist is now only watchlisted.

We have clear evidence that a certain person on this list, however, has been cheating. We will give them 10 days to admit, due to the nature of this being a new system. If not, then we will penalize him in accordance with the rules

Tac and I are releasing some guidelines for players and future mods to (hopefully) follow.

Hope this makes things easier.

Why we made this: The bans, so far, have been indefinite and basically infinitely long. This is mostly because of issues like repeated cheating, or just plainly forgetting about the ban.

The system will go as follows.

There will be different penalties for each offense. There will also be a watchlist system, which will prioritized people who are marked down as potential or former cheaters.

Being watchlisted will give you different penalties than if you weren't.

These are the normal penalties

Slowed Timer = 2 months. 6 months max. Sped Up Run = 9 months. 2 years max. Speed Hacks = 12 months. 2 years max.

Each VIDEO that cheats in a certain method will be counted as a separate offense, which is why maximum lengths were imposed.

Due to the new system implemented, the old banlist will be cleared and taken out of the equation.

Watchlist offenses: Certain people will be put on a public watchlist. If the moderation team finds evidence of person cheating before they admit in clear written/video form that they were cheating, the moderation team will ban them for the maximum length of the offense penalized for. If they admit before the moderation team finds clear proof, however, they will only be banned for 4 months, regardless of offense.

and yes, this means everyone in the old banlist, including Razorblade8888, is now unbanned.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Watchlisting is PERMANENT. The only way to get off the watchlist is to become part of the banlist instead, which is not really preferred. And by the time you DO get out of the banlist, all people who have ever been banned will be watchlisted, which means that you will still be part of the watchlist when unbanned.

1: Skylands, Through Hell, Pirate Bay 2: + ITJ and FR 3: + TT and LC 4: + SS and FG 5: All maps (All maps up to this point including the 7 new maps).

Full game runs are separated into categories based off maps that were known to exist in these groups for a long amount of time.

Each mention of maps adds to the last, which means: 2: + ITJ and FR would be added to #1, which is Skylands, Pirate Bay, and Through Hell.

And

3: + TT and LC would be added to #1 and #2, up until we reach all maps.

New maps added will turn into a separate section on the leaderboard, which would futureproof runs already on the leaderboard. While this is the case, an All Maps run would be turned obsolete by any updates.

Alright, I couldn't find any concrete information on this, considering how rarely stuff like this happens. I will be making a new rule for current and future moderators to follow as a guide on accepting WRs that are very close to each other in frames. Any run 1-2 frames off current WR, or any run where the closeness of the times cannot be told from each other (aka, it's too confusing to find out which run is faster due to reasons of sprint fov changes and movement timing), will be considered tied with the current world record.

Groundbreaking new exploit that might give Any% meaning ;)

Timer Start: First frame that the player moves.

Timer End: Frame that the player reaches the aura effect (the white part) of the beacon. In a full game run, the timer ends when the player gets in the beacon aura of the last map.

No Cheating, Hacking, Glitching, etc.

No Third Person Runs Will Be Accepted

Any run that is within .2 seconds of the current standing world record (whether be ahead or behind) will be personally timed by us. If they are frame-perfectly tied, they will be posted as such. Any frame difference will result in the faster one holding the world record

I will now start to keep track of the top three times and their videos for every single runs , so that the top three runs for each run will stay.

The axes changing will cause the other times to be removed.

Sorry for any inconvenience that this might cause, but this would ultimately be for the better due to the easier addition of miscallaneous categories.

Thanks for Nrrillinthas for bringing this into our attention. http://www.speedrun.com/Dragon_Escape/thread/rz4h1

While it is debatable whether not to add Pocket Edition maps as part of the main DE site, especially since it has always been based on Minecraft Java (Computer) Edition Dragon Escape, Mineplex PE Dragon Escape is still Dragon Escape.

This means that the maps will be added accordingly. Our current playerbase and staff don't have the same access to Pocket Edition DE, so we may not be able to know much of everything in this matter, especially since it's never been a matter of concern for so long.

The three maps we know right now are Tribal Run, Alpine Ravine, and Jungle Valley.

All the base kits are available. which means that there shouldn't be much change with how the kits are listed in the runs.

If anyone has any knowledge and concern about this topic, please reply to this post about it. Thanks!
