@CriscoWild, people with no insight on a community should not try to change things in said community. You coming in here and demanding emu board with absolutly no knowleadge of the game and how it works and how the community has a whole already feels about the topic is a waste of your time and mine. This topic has been discussed to death before between mods and members of the community and the current board setup will not change.

As much as having load removed from times would be great there's no easy way to do that on consoles so idk if it's a good idea. It would force mods to either time it or or double check the timings to make sure the amount removed is OK and I personally think a mod should not have to do this. It sucks to have slower versions but it's something that I think people will have to deal with like pretty much every other multi platform game.

As for category's, obv Any% and 100% plus all cups and IL's/Time trials sounds great

Hi,

I am looking forward to potentially run this game once i am done playing casually and i was looking at the leaderboard and saw the categories you guys came up with.

So you can correct me if im wrong, but as far as i know there is no advantage gained by getting a death on a level and this makes the deathless category kinda useless in my opinion. Usually those are a thing when there is something to be gained from dying.

Second thing is warpless/with Warp. Maybe i missed something and again you can correct me if i am wrong but i havent seen any Warp. Maybe its just bad wording for something else but as i understand it i dont see any 'warps'

I just wanted to point out these things that i noticed and maybe start a conversation about what would be good to be included or not since this game is new and its important to have categories that are both fun and makes sense so that runners want to start running this game.

Cheers!

You can't just make up categories like that, the categories that we have are there for a reason. Before adding a new one, theres need to be a VERY good reason to do so. Thats why even the most popular catogory which is ATR was not official for atleast 1 year after the first run was done. It needs to be popular and serve a purpose that no other category has. Your 1st boss% has no purpose, we beat tricky in Any% and 100%. It does not bring anything new to the table. Therefore your time is not really a WR or anything, its more a meme run for the fun that anything. Also, timing for every single category that starts from a file is done the same way. That means giz's would be good and yours would not count.

We are happy to have new runners, but there are rules that have been decided and reviewed for years and nobody can just come up and changes things and add categories just because they want a "WR" in some meme category. This is not how speedrun communities work.

Hope you understand. Looking forward to see you on the main categories!

I dont have one lmao, you can get me on twitter or discord if you want, just click on my profile :^)

nice meme

its miniHover an emote that is on FrankerFaceZ that represent the hovercraft in the game

Hello there! Like 7hornet said, most N64 games do not emulate proprely and DKR is not an exception. At this moment, it is banned because it does gives an unfair advantage over the N64 as in it removes almost all the lag, the acceleration is twice as fast and zipper/boost tends to give more high speed/consistent boost than what you would experience on the original hardware.

On the matter of the runs present on the leaderboard that are done on emulator, theses runs were done before the decision to ban emulators was taken. Therefore, we kept them on here because they were actually following the rules at the moment when they were submitted.

That being said, i do recommand that you try out the game and to join the discord if you do have interrest in this game. If you feel like DKR is the right speedrun for you after a while then we are all here to help you get the proper equipment for as cheap as possible.

Hope it anwsers the questions! :)

We do not have plans to allow emulations on wii or any other non official emulator as N64 games are very often not accuratly emulated, especialy when lag is involve which you can find plenty in rush games. Also with roms and wii injects, it is fairly easy to hack these games and modify data to create small advantages that can be very hard to see. So because of these issue, it is most likely never going to be allowed, atleasts in the current format of the leaderboard.

Après avoir examiné toutes les soumissions, nous avons finalement la liste des jeux qui sont acceptés pour le No Reset x LanETS 2017: https://goo.gl/8ymZ1g.

Nous apprécions tout le monde qui a soumissent des superbes runs pour le marathon. L'horaire sera dévoilé dans au courant des prochains jours.

After going through all the submissions, We finally have the final linup of games for the No reset marathon @ LanETS 2017: https://goo.gl/8ymZ1g.

We appreciate everybody that submitted all these amazing runs. The Schedule will be posted in the upcoming days.

When i transfered the data from the old doc, i could not find it. Il try to ask arround if its somewhere. Otherwise, your best bet is to contact faschz.

"The game already uses pre-existing data. Unlocking T.T. requires a lot of work before it's ready for a speedrun file, and is not counted towards the speedrun timer."

TT is unlocked on cartbridge and can be used on new file, its nothing like using an actual pre existing file. Also this issue as already been discussed and there is not point into adding a category like this as it does not even complete anything but a boss previously unlocked on a file already started.

"Any% ww don't abuse of an existing file and the time is aprox 5 min since there is the normal game start (1m30) and an 35 sec of waiting time at the final boss. It shoul be an interesting small speedrun with a cool major glitch"

Actually it does, you need a file with wizpig unlocked so that when you wrap from the track menu it gets the data from that file which allows you to enter FFL and Wizpig.

"So what? Both gain advantages from having previously played the game. Take a look at Banjo-Kazooie. Not only are FFM moves used now, but never have we had to watch the cutscene right after Spiral Mountain. I don't know why all of these things are allowed in so many N64 games then suddenly there's this rule that """"disqualifies"""" a category from existing."

You can't compare these issue like these with other games. TT and Drumstick are only characters that can be unlock forever on the cartbridge, you dont need an actual file after unlocked it. That is 2 different issue.

Also as a side note (to jumpyluff), i dont know why you always try to start drama with DKR, i think as a community we know what is the best and as an outsider you should not try to change everything. Its not because you think we are doing something wrong that it is something wrong.

I also wanna had that suggesting stuff is totally fine, but dont be a "dick" to the mods/community if its not accepted.

I might have sounded harsh in some of the comments, but feedback should be liseting to the complains and taking notes, Not responding to them and try to defend X thing you did. Tho it did clears some of the things up. But some response are prety meh/rude to an extend. Ill leave it there

Some of the stuff i said in here http://pastebin.com/42asKgbU

The bad

So ill try to give constructive criticisism when i can but ill just say everything i truly did not like / felt could have been alot better about the event. It will be mostly for the speedrun event itself as i spent most of my time there but there will be a couple thing non related to that but more to the rest of the event.

Speedrun Corner:

• There were almost no light for some reason, as much as it gave a chill vibe to it, i felt like it was bad for the stream cam.
• Having the practice "Area" being right behind the stream setup in a very small space felt really bad. There were very little space to walk and we would sometime be in the way of the setup guys wich already were having trouble. -Not Having a dedicated area for practice were we would chill w/o having to be carefull with screaming and annoying the runners playing on stream a couple meters aways -From the complaint above, being a runner and getting distracted by the people playing behind the TV you are running on -Having almost no CRT for practice, and i think none were from dreamhack themself but just people's bringing the few ones -Having the entrance being on the stream cam and next to the runners felt weird, there should have been another entrance to get behind the setup w/o potentially disturbing the runner

Alot of these could have been adressed with a seperate practice area, like we had at LAN ETS,idk why it was not a thing this time arround. Also Dreamhack need to provide us some CRT ffs

Stream/Stream Setup:

-Sound was coming from TV, as you can imagine with all the sound from the other stuff going arround, i could hear very little from the game and got distracted alot -Could not hear Fozzy/Bismuth Commentate very well, had to guess what they said sometimes and fozzy said the same to me -During the race, i was hearing bismuth audio more than mine, a big problem for stuff like Tiny Phase and Mad Jack -Staff not having an N64 compatible with JP Cart for my DKR run, litteraly tried to cut tabs live during setups instead of taking mine after insisting, then giving up on it and taking my N64 anyway. they also knew in advance in the submittion than i was running on jp because we had to specify the region/console in it -Waiting 5 min before somebody tells me what to do in the setup -Setups taking forever making the stream get super far behind, also probably having setups time that were to tight in the scheadule -Alot of tech difficuties for setups -Almost no help from dreamhack themself it seems like -Almost no advertisement on social media from NASA/reddit/whatever

Some things to make it better: -Soundproof Headsets for runner with theie game audio + commentator, might be somewhat hard but GDQ does it so its possible, and for races its a must imo -Better staff, by that i mean staff being more prepared and being faster on setups / testing stuff before runs instead of wondering why it does not work for hours -Better audio quality for stream somehow -More advertisement, sad to see the stream with like 100 viewers, its fucking dreamhack come the fuck on lol

Scheadule handling:

Cutting runs/getting faster category to finish the marathon before is very bad imo, if you have that far behind live with it. especially when most of that time is due to setups.

Also on the DK64 race, i got asked if i wanted to cut DK64 race to help them since i and bismuth had another run, i was not going to let them do that obv so i sugested 5 kong instead to wich bismuth also agreed. Then the NASA staff tells us NLE is fine so we start doing NLE, 5 min in the run the QSR (No reset staff) tell us we have to do 5 kong instead and it honestly made me extremely mad, not because it was not NLE (wich i would highly prefer but i was still ok with that) but because both staff tells us diffent things and i was already mentaly prepared for one run and not the other. It just throw my off very badly. Especially that i just had a bad DKR ending.

The good

Speedrun Corner:

-having a seperation between the crowd/runners is good imo -Stream on big screen looked nice and sound was ok when it was fixed -Having an area right next to the stair leading to the main hall is nice since most people will see it right at the begening -The area was really cold wich is a nice change because i had been burning all summer in my no AC appartment, i know some people complain about that but i loved it

Scheadule:

-Getting a run per runners and trying to make it work, props for choosing to give everyone a chance -Props to shokushu choosing my DKR hundo as a backup to drop out (wich happened) after saying i really wanted to do that category instead -Generaly happy with the games chosen and variety of runners and lenght of the games, mine were 2 of the longest (if you count dk64 as NLE) and i feel lucky tbh

Tickets:

Having the runners tickets's being free and availaible in a special line is a very nice perk that i am very gratefull to dreamhack for so thank you for that.

General Thoughts:

Has much as i said alot of crap about the staff and the stream, i know it was not an easy task and that you guys needed to deal with alot of stuff, but im sure next time will be better with the experience you got here and i can't wait to see how it will turn out next time. Also i understand if it was really hard with the audio with all the noise arround with the other tournaments.

As much as i agree to that, it would take alot of time to go throught all of these and i dont think anybody has that time. But we could fix it overtime.

Alright i will talk about with it other people, i personnaly dont think we will do anything about except for WR since it does not really matter that much, but well see. Thanks for the example tho.

ive not noticed any broken link, maybe you can point me one exemple? Also people can edit there submission but we have to verify still. We can also change it ourself as mod, but it would be alot better if people individually update it.

Hey, haven't been running for a while because of this cd slower loading crap, but i was wondering why would you not calculate IGT instead. Yes it takes more time because there is no actual in-game timer and all the tracks time would need to be timed after the run, but it would make runs time fair for everybody. This is something mk64 leaderboard does (tho mk64 actually have an igt) and it works quite well.

Regarless of what you guys intent to do, you guys need to take action to even out the versions because it stops quite a few runners from actually having competitive time. I personally do not run this game since like a month after the realese because of this even tho i would love too, but i just feel cheated.

I hope you guys can take actions for this.
