Washington, USAAwesome looking so far. Yeah I posted my notes from 2014 at the request of someone so they could have a starting point on the route. I had a lot of ideas for testing, including locking down enemies and testing out different equipment that I just never got to.
I added my notes to the guides section. Don't really have time to color code them and make them pretty anytime soon. They are based on the route I created in 2014.
Time starts when you first move off the boat to Furrofield (change for each island) and ends when screen fades to black when you leave the island with the new residents.
- Malroth needs to have the lowest level weapon entering the zone.
- Must have no redeemed mini-medals
- (insert level requirement here) - No clue how we should tackle this for each IL.
These are the general IL rules for the islands. Someone brought up last text box instead of leaving the island, if thats the case I need to know the text boxes (been awhile since I played)
I haven't made any other ILs yet unless people actually show interest in wanting to run more category extentions like all mini medals, etc.
I'll let this thread go through the weekend then start writing up the rules for this.
But seriously, I didn't add any rules cause there was no discussion of them. I noticed 1 person made a list and nothing else. If we can agree to say Sakura's rule set then I'll add them.
Does anyone want any other changes to them? Taking into account Vorce's questions too
I'm here. I created IL leaderboard weeks ago, just never filled in rules yet
Sorry for the delays, my home burnt down a couple weeks ago and I'm not able to use the internet much right now. I hope to be in my new place and ready to do this next weekend.
I could add ILs and other categories to DQB2, we just need to define the rules for it. A little bit harder to do ILs in this game compared to the 1st. Especially after the 1st time you get there with the limited saves.
Yeah in free camera you save a handful of frames from certain attacks by just being closer and making the movement/spell animations shorter. Overall its not a huge time save, like 1-2 minutes max on the entire run.
Switch will be its own category most likely. It has cutscene skip, increased battle speed, and 2D mode which significantly changes the game (by several hours).
I know there is a leadboard out there somewhere for Horse racing ILs, I've had people in my chat tell me about it. Not sure where though.
https://discord.gg/v36pJSD is the link to the DQRTA discord server, this is for all Dragon Quest games
Palace is correct, those are the rules Japanese runners use and what we have been using. Several of us have done runs, we just haven't uploaded times yet probably cause we wanna do better before submitting times.
The only special rules we had really discussed (We have a DQRTA discord server if you are interested) include no DLC. The Trodain gear is fair game because everyone gets the items in their starting inventory.
Currently in Japan there are categories for PS4 HDD, PS4 SSD, and 3DS. Obviously we need to add a PC category because of the load times. I've been told that SSD saves about 20-30 minutes over HDD, which is a really unfair advantage. I believe those should be the 4 major categories. Anything else, like Sword of Light% or True Ending% are just other meme categories you are welcome to make that are not any% versions of the game.
RTA is defined as running a timer until the game has been completed. If you pause a timer during an RTA attempt, you have broken the rules and your run is invalidated. Most people run games for fun and you can do what you want, but if you are going to submit a time to be known around the world, you have to follow the defined rules. I don't see why this game should be an exception to the rule.
