As soon as I join ring 1 my ping starts rising in increments very quickly until it plateaus at a very high number(10000+ in some cases.) Is there an explanation for this?

title says it all.

reasons i think it IS possible:

I'll go over all of the time saves and subtract it from my 1:12 time. current time is 1:12.767

A perfect start could take off maybe .200 from the total time. Optimizing both shelf climbs and finding the best places to jump on the puddle of water could save this much time.

Current time is 1:12.567

Ball pit skip(the latter climb thing around 35 seconds into the run) could be perfected. In my 1:12 I could have done a much better climb and maybe saved around .200-.250 at best.

time now is 1:12.317

Now time for the biggest time save. The blind blue lazer jumps at the end could save anywhere from .200 to a whole second if done on 3-4 lazers. This is super difficult to do fast but it has the potential to take off the 300 milliseconds we need to get the 1:11.

best final time: 1:11.317

Let me know your thoughts on how time could be saved and if you agree with me.

lets stop him

So I wanted to make this thread to get people's opinions on strats and see who uses what, and I want to make this for future reference.

So first, we need to see and compare what saves time and what is easier to do in a run.

Logically you would think that skipping as many trainers as you can would be ideal but in Loomian, in order to defeat the battle theater without dying you must have a minimum of 6 potions(from personal experience, I cannot go any lower than 6).

In theory, we could save as much time as possible by going to the laboratory and opening the crate that gives us 5 potions, and hope for good rng and a perfect duskit fight.

By using this information, the ideal run would go like this:

Get snocub, get the 5 potions from the lab, complete route 1 by battling 2/3 trainers(saves about a minute by skipping the guy in the middle), go through gale forest by battling 2/3 trainers and getting a super lucky Duskit fight, skip the school cut-scene by glitching before the duskit fight(2 minute save), skip the trainer right before entering route 3, beat 2/3 trainers on route 3, go to silvent, get 7 total potions, beat the battle theater with good luck.

If this "ideal" run is ever achieved the WR could possibly go as far down as sub 30 minutes.

Making this thread was fun, hopefully this information was useful to you. We will see what the future awaits for this category.
