it's slightly higher pitched because it's on PAL, which is a known difference between PAL and NTSC

Hey for the GoldenEye 007 Xbox/Switch leaderboard there's an issue where the level leaderboard only shows Xbox One, is there a way to fix it so that either all the subcategories show up on the level leaderboard or for it to be possible to have a level leaderboard for each subcategory? https://www.speedrun.com/goldeneye_007_xbox_and_nso/levels

It's frustrating because it basically mean only one version of the game has a level leaderboard which is really silly, can SRC add functionality to resolve this issue?

@Quivico yeah if they have a big backlog then that's completely fine that they haven't fixed it

it's just that no staff member has responded or addressed this thread, which is unacceptable

Wow no response, seems like SRC is too busy making the site unusable with intrusive ads rather than improving the site.

You've had 40 days to respond.

Also, another thing is that in the listing of games at https://www.speedrun.com/games, when you sort by active users, it does not take into account individual levels at all. Seems like speedrun.com considers IL speedruns lesser and irrelevant compared to full game runs.

If any record is tied, then it will INCORRECTLY state that the record is BEATEN.

I've heard that this has been a bug for quite a while, please fix this.

Agreed fitter, I will be pushing this hard if there is no response to that soon. I'm determined to get that added.

Great, thanks to see this was resolved, I am extremely confident they'll make great mods.

My mistake bamby, I thought you meant shadowbanned from the GE XBLA leaderboards, not the GE XBLA forums. Then yeah, I take back about me being shadowbanned from the leaderboards. I didn't try to post anything after you deleted a post of mine, because I knew it was of no use because you would just delete it eventually anyways.

It is not true Fitter, after that screenshot of me asking in the twitch chat them why I was banned from the discord linked on the GE XBLA page, I never interacted or talked to bamby directly again except until now to respond to them on this forum thread (except in a twitch chat where they happened to be there as well but I didn't address anything to them directly).

It doesn't have to be me as a supermod to replace bamby, either Dusky or DaisyFan would be a better supermod(s) than me.

I have not harassed any of the moderation team members, I simply just am trying to communicate with supermods to try to resolve this, that does not constitute harassment. This claim of harassment is false and a shadow banning a user who has not done anything wrong is not something a supermod should be doing, so I guess I would also like to appeal this ban to the SRC staff in this thread, it is troubling that I was banned especially considering that I believe my dam 56 was the very first run submitted/approved on the GE XBLA board.

I have not sanctioned the spam bots on the forum posts, I last night, noticed somebody made a thread calling for your removal with the account name "alkaisbae" and I found that interesting. Is it wrong to find that interesting? I had no idea until now that someone is spam making accounts and threads.

I would like to become a super mod for https://www.speedrun.com/goldeneye_007xbla and replace bambywamby31. It seems like their conduct is not appropriate and not acceptable for a mod. I told them that I was banned from the discord linked as the official SRC discord for this game, and they said this in response:

this is I think unacceptable for bamby. I know others have other issues with bambi as well, for instance, there have been concerns about bamby using their personal discord as the official discord for the src page

I believe I fulfill all the requirements for a full mod that are stated in the first post of this thread. My credentials (I'm not using this to say that I'm more qualified than bamby and therefore should replace them as a mod, I am just saying my credentials so people and staff can have trust in adding me as a mod for xbla)

Speedrunning console N64 GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark since 2017, got 1 GoldenEye WR in 2017 (former now) , 2 world records in perfect dark, Defection agent 0:05 which is still a WR, and War agent 0:25 which used to be a WR

I have also performed a GDQ run for perfect dark n64 at SGDQ 2019

lastly, I was actually the very first person (or close to the first) to post a run onto the ge xbla page, dam agent 56

is there going to be a discord server for this made soon?

I'm concerned that, since now it is owned by a corporation/company, that emulation might be banned because of the liability of being sued by Nintendo and other companies. Can we get a confirmation that emulation won't be banned off of the site?

Done.

yes, there was a bit of a controversy/debate about it ages ago but now its allowed, this was likely actually the same for other games, and I think the current WRs now use it?

it used to be a separate category because Ozotuh was an idiot, so prnced on a dead run decided to add in second player at the very end for a free meme WR

Best bet would be to watch DAERDAEViL's run, it hasn't been routed a ton so you could definitely make progress with it, feel free to ask me on the discord about stuff, I haven't watched it in depth so I'm not sure how improvable it is, hell using Wii could be faster because of the skips, but load times are also a factor.

Nearly three years ago now, there was ample discussion in this thread: http://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=19147.0 on whether or not Duel PA 0:09, or the Duel level all together should count as a WR or even be on the rankings in the first place. Given how in the past couple of years public opinion has shifted completely on things like Marc's converter or Berube's 53, I think now is a good time to revisit the argument for Duel being or not being on the world rankings.

Here are some arguments for Duel REMAINING on the rankings:

• It's always been that way since 2001

• Some ppl who worked hard for the Duel WRs would feel sad because their records would be removed

--

Here are some arguments for Duel BEING REMOVED from the rankings:

• Duel is unlike other missions in either GE or PD in that it is not unlocked by progressing through the game. It is unlocked by playing a training exercise outside of the missions of the game. This indicates Duel is more of an external training exercise than it is an in game mission.

• Duel was never ¤intended¤ to be played through as a distinct mission with its own story. It is a bonus stage. Every other level in GE/PD are part of the big story, or their own unique one. Duel is not.

• There is no cheat unlocked for beating Duel in a fast manner. Every other of the 40 stages in GE/PD do have a cheat unlock. Duel doesn't. If anything, the reason we began speedrunning these games was to unlock the cheats. Duel is unique in that it doesn't have this same quality.

• Since Duel has hundreds of ties, it no longer serves the ability to effectively rank anyone. A world rankings requires definition and difference between competitors in order to effectively rank its competitors. Since Duel is so full of ties, it is useless in this regard.

• Removing Duel would give Perfect Dark a 6000 point ceiling, in line with Goldeneye, improving consistency across both games.

Feel free to discuss your views on either side of the debate. I might update some points in the OP as they are brought up. Also I may add a poll in a few days but not until people have had time to discuss and debate before voting.

approved it despite the major lag at the very end since I didn't want to deny a 7 hour run lol

please please do another run when you can without the lag at the end and ESPECIALLY show when it displays 100% on the screen

also send splits for this if you still have them since they are great to have

that's an interesting route, I'm guessing it's quite optimal?
