Hello,

Our base rule was created before nightmare appeared. We had to force players to actually witness the evidences in order to prevent guessing (among other things). When nightmare was added to the game, we had no choice but to allow the guessing of the last evidence only. You can guess that last evidence in any way you want, however the previous rule still applies, you need to see the other 2 evidences.

The current WR sees 2 evidences, then guess the last one by pure luck or any other reason. This is valid according to our current ruleset.

For now we don't have plans to accept guessing the ghost based on its ability. Because even though we have a lot of confirmed abilities, this is not a 100% situation where you can say for sure that the ability was what you actually saw.

Hope it makes sense. Cheers

Hello!

I've created the Community Discord if you'd like to be invested a bit more in this very recent community :)

You can submit the run and put their names that they have while you played with them. They will appear as "guest" in the run, and it's allowed.

Please note that you will still need to have all evidences in your own recording if they didn't record their POV.

Yes, we don't take into accounts ghost's traits & specificity, because of the same reasoning as Lemon described. It's easier to have this simple rule over the whole game.

Imagine we don't enforce that rule. People would just start the game, open the truck, close the truck, and guess the ghost randomly. That would be a very limited speedrun.

Any communication service is allowed as long as we can hear everyone.

Thanks for submitting this suggestion. We will discuss it and check what we can do.

Usually when it says "obsolete" it's because you submitted a better run.

Hello, I'm interested to speedrun this game, do you plan on detailing the categories rules?

Thanks :)

On top of everything that have already been said, you must know that Asylum is theoritically one of the shortest runs you could get (shorter than tanglewood) because of the van proximity, if you get the correct room, you can get very low time. For instance I already got 1:00 in any% Solo and multiple sub 2 minutes in multi in 100%. You just need to get lucky. Hacked run are usually very obvious because of multiple things happening at once, or similar things that could never happen in a real run.

The leaderboard was reset recently, so you'll get very good records, close to "hacking", in a few weeks, but not 1 week after the reset.

All orbs of all ghosts types are the same, according to the code. That was just a coincidence I guess.

Haha this mission is driving everyone insane, and that annoying bug where you are marked in conflict but in fact you're not really...

FranceVisionElf7 years ago

I did it! 6:11:12 :D I'll submit my run when the video will be uploaded.

I did the "go in the curia" 3 times, that was pain in the ass... I could have done something like 6:05, and I definitively believe under 6h is possible with more optimizations.

It's very interesting, but I do not understand how you can draw your bow AND starting the cutscene. Could you please add a little more details on what did you do exactly? I tried some stuff, like press Y and spam the button to draw the bow, but I don't even understand what you did :p

It's legal in run, all 3 runs currently in the leaderboard use this exploit. Basically you free some prisoners, you gain 100 XP, you use Dusk & Dawn (skip day/night ability) and repeat until you get enough XP to get to a specific level. Watch the runs :)

The thing is, it's boring, its slow, and it takes forever (it's like 100 XP per 10 seconds) And the point i'm trying to bring is that you can actually get much more XP per 10 seconds by doing actual quests with an optimized route.

The route i'm trying to find doesn't uses this exploit, last try I did, I finished Way of the Gabiniani at about 5 hour 18 mark, but I found a 10 minute save in my run (i'm doing too much quests/locations), I'll try a single segment when I will have time.

The only "exploit" that is currently stable and reliable is Quest Reset to leave agro and allows you to teleport to anywhere at anytime basically.

I just did 6:54:07 in a segmented run with no XP exploit! I'll try with a single segment speedrun tomorrow I need some more optimizations but I'm almost there

For the problems you mentioned, BH was the only reference I had, as I said, I didn't looked at your run cause I saw it in the "Season Pass" category, and I thought, "Well he must have a special item or somth to have 1 hour less" I was kind of unaware that it was not that kind of stuff. I'm sorry about that :s

For the second thing, yes, of course, and I am still not sure why I wrote it that way. It was the only comparaison I had, because I still have not run the game completely.

The run where my PC froze, was actually the first time I was that far. I trained a lot on the first segment of the game (Start to Alexandria with XP farming)

I still think that XP exploit is not that fast, and has a lot of drawbacks.

FranceVisionElf7 years ago

I never really looked at your run cause you're in the Season pass category :P (I don't even know what is the difference tbh)

I changed my route since my post, now I have killed berenice at 4h34 Then for Way of GabinianI I was tired, frustrated and I couldn't take down the last infiltrator, my PC froze at 5 hour 21, still in that quest he was at 10% life. I just quitted the game right now

So frustrated :(

I'll take a look at your run :D
