United StatesHey everyone, I just rolled out the winners for the Drake and Josh competition. Congrats to Seppe and SirPudge for winning the $100 raffle, and apbrooks110 for winning the $50 WR bounty. I will be contacting you all individually.
Awful games block at AGDQ inspired me to pick up this game in hopes to get it into the next GDQ. The game is by far more broken in 2 player mode. Mind making an additional category for it, and perhaps NG+ since being able to choose characters may allow for some unique skips. As far as I know you can only skip through barriers in 2 player mode with a small character and a medium sized character, or a small character and medium character with a large character. I still have more expirimenting to do with the game, though. Barrier clipping may be possible with 2 characters of the same size, not sure.
I think for some changes that need to be made to the F2P quest speedruns are that to finish the run you have to teleport to lumbridge and get the in game time from Hans for better accuracy. Also this ensures that you don't have to play the entire time and you could do it over the span of a couple of days. Also you would be able to use logging out in certain situations for time save giving more of an edge to the runs. The Tutorial Island speedruns and any others that don't start at Tutorial Island would be recorded with a timer.
Also I don't see any point in having the Total level runs or the Get Level X in all Skills run because there won't be any competition for it and it would be played too linearly. Whereas in the quest runs there could always be time improvement made and RNG affects the run heavily making it not only skill based, but could produce multiple outcomes. I would like to see these sections replaced with member versions of the other leaderboard runs. I know you can set it to show only F2P or member runs, but in all honesty the runs are ran so totally different and have completely different routing it wouldn't be fare to castegorize them the same.
Also for the last thing I want to touch base on is whether using software like AHK is permitted as long as it's 1:1 input/output. Or even if it's not, I'm not sure how we should go about it.
I'll update this thread with anything else that I come by with.
EDIT: Also as far as item transferring and using other players. Is the use of other players permitted and can we use other people to do quests like Shield Of Arrav. The reason I have a problem with not allowing interaction with other people for benefit, is that other people within the game can also ruin your run as much as benefit it. The thing is you can't control other players from not ruining your run, so I feel as if using other players should be allowed and is more in the spirit of the Any% runs, but I'm curious to see what others think on the subject.
I need to have all of these points cleared with the other moderators before I can start routing my F2P nobeads run.
Hey guys it's EZScape here. For those who don't me I was the original person who completed the All F2P Quests Speedrun back in April which gained a lot of attention on Reddit, YouTube, and was even featured on a community channel. I was forced to quit speedrunning to continue with my YouTube series, but now I'm back and I'll be helping out with routing the new categories we have and creating some quality guides in my freetime. If anyone needs some help or has any questions feel free to PM me on here or Twitch and I'll get back to you. I still have some of my old notes for the speedruns I did a while ago including the ironman all quests, but never finished routing it. It's also based around gathering beads so that won't do. If mods would like me to post the guides and item lists just show me where they go. They have quite a few strats in them I haven't seen in other speedruns yet. If anybody wishes to talk to me the easiest way is to catch me on my stream where I will be running Barbarian Assault speedruns for the next few weeks. Thanks!
