São Paulo, BrazilAs we got more Korean players around, and they usually play on the ASIA version of the game, I'm allowing the use of the 960619 ASIA Version as well.
I'm also interested in getting in touch with the Korean DND2 community, so we can see which rules they use and adopt/adapt/change our own if they sound fair.
Unfortunatelly, I don't speak Korean, so I need someone who can translate into English or Portuguese the communication with them. If you have links of Discords or sites from the DND2 Korean community that allow English speakers, let me know.
Hi everyone.
I'm looking for people to help moderating and approving runs. I love to do it, but between both my works I'm not always checking the leaderboard, which resulted in some serious waiting for approval.
The only requisites I ask are:
- Be able to comunicate in English, doesn't need to be fluent, just enough so we can understand each other.
- Be a runner of this game, I believe that at least basic knowledge of strats used (mainly the glitches involved) is needed for it.
I love the game and I still feel honored to moderate this leaderboard, but that leads also to respect the players who submit their runs, so I don't want them to wait like 1 month to get a run approved.
Reply to this topic if you're interested!
P.S.: Also, I believe that we need a Discord server, but I do SUCK at managing Discord xD
I took a look at the Tower of Doom leaderboard, and makes sense that both games could share some ideas on how to handle the multiplayer games.
And I do agree that more players increase the necessity of everyone's contibution.
Let's see if someone else drops an opinion, but I'm okay with changing to separate categories for 2p, 3p and 4p if there is people interested in that division. I'm deciding stuff now, but I'd love to do what the community of the game wants to make it more interesting to play.
I noticed that src sometimes don't obsolete runs with the same people in the Multiplayer Category.
For now, I'm deciding to remove the runs with the EXACT same players that get obsolete by a better time.
For runs with some people different, I'm keeping them for now, as I believe it would be better if more teams playing the game would benefit the leaderboard as well, and that would make people not be limited to a single team to beat times.
Another issue: 2p, 3p and 4p now are in the same category. I don't intend to split that unless there is a major difference showing in the routes. For now, the only differences are the skill level of the players and that is fine. Until the game becomes decently optimized with 2p, 3p AND 4p, it will be hard to say which is best, so they will be all together.
I'd love to hear diferent opinions on that. Feel free to share your concerns.
I see a lot of new players to the speedrun of the game, and first thing: Welcome!
If you need any advice, feel free to ask.
About categories (which is the topic of this thread), I'm still looking for more inputs on what to make them more appealing to new players to come and join us in this wonderful game. Feel free to leave your opinion!
Pessoal, se precisarem de ajuda com algo, só falar. A maioria das coisas estão em inglês, mas eu sou brasileiro e posso ajudar com o que precisarem.
(to non-portuguese speakers: I'm just offering help in Portuguese for those who don't speak English).
Well, now that we have some movement here, I believe that we don't need additional categories. We could delete this one, or create a "Misc." category. What you guys think?
If I get no answers til 01/03, I'll proceed with deleting it.
No problem, I hope that game evolves its speedruns, it deserves.
Did a little research, and the PS3 JP version of the game has lots of different features, including the way you choose dificulty (it has at least 18 variations from what I saw). Also, it allows players to start with magical items, and that changes completely the pace.
For now, I'll be rejecting his run. If in the future he comes and want it, we can make PS4 JP version an alternate category.
Hmm, interesting. I'm up for reviewing it.
Which base were you using it for the damage calculations?
Edit and P.S.: Also, your english is fine by me, and I'm glad to finally have someone that speak korean around! Most of the stuff for dnd2 is in korean, so there is a lot to learn from you! :D
I'm still here if needed, but not running much because of hand pain. I hope you get a match! :D
I'm leaving this here so people can leave their wishes to the leaderboard to improve.
Things I'm considering:
- The category with the better time keeps the front page of the leaderboard.
- Can the categories be a diminished amount in some way?
- Any ideas on ways to make the game more appealing to be run? The dificulty of it seems to be a wall for most people.
Russel, you mean the Large Burning Oil Kill or the Lightning Bolt Kill? I know this might be too late, but if you're still interested, I do know a bit about them, but it's a really big wall of text.
I am removing the "Mixed" Categories. No one showed interest so far on it. I will bring it back if someone wants it.Feel free to sugest anything. :)
No complains til now, arcade emulators are allowed!
Just be sure to show that you are using the 960619 Euro version, and it shows on the start of the video!
So, I've started to consider allowing Arcade Emulation. There are lots of fans to the game that could join us, potentially.
The thing is, there are lots of versions, and I'm aware that only some of them has the Debug Glitch (in which you give Fighter a pretetermined infinite item) and the Invencibility Glitch (by trading Thief's and M.User hats, I believe).
I believe the version that Fightcade accepts (960619 Euro) would be the best one, since Fightcade would allow co-op runs more easy to be played.
I would love to read your thoughts about it.
Well, as March 24th, I altered the categories to make it more entertaining to players of all types to join us.
Changes including removing the "Deathless" requirement of it. I strongly believe that players will eventually notice that dying less = better time . So times with lots of deaths will eventually get replaced with better ones, and will still encourage newcomers to join us.
I also split the new categories between the classes, as it should be. So "Any%" has each class on it, "Dragons%" is the same, etc. The name of each category is "(Class) (Category)%" . For example, as of now I only hold the record for "Cleric Any%" .
Feedback is always apreciated. Feel free to love or hate! :D
So, we finally have reached the point we need to decide what to do with the Any No Deaths%, since we no longer have only Uncontested times on a category.
As stated before, that category was made to make me and Rogel play against each other and get motivated, since we do different categories. And to measure the fastest time of the game overall. I want your inputs on what we should do.
Also, I'm thinking in adding new categories. Some form of 100% could be All Dragons (adding Black and Red to the fights on purpose) ? Or the really hard 3-2-30 from the korean videos I saw (+3 million xp, +20k silver under 30 minutes). They even add modifiers to that as 3no (No Items, No Shops, No Spells) or Survivor (No hits taken).
My humble opinion: All Dragons would be cool, but Elf doesn'r require Green Dragon (but will probably fight it because it's faster). But characters are categories for themselves, so we will have M.User All Dragons, Dwarf All Dragons... It's a lot of categories, but it's what is fair for everyone.
I like the 3-2-30, but without the time restriction, since this is a speedrun already. Again, divided by characters. So it would be a "3-2" .
I also like the 3no category.
Or I wouldn't be offering them.
So, please, leave on the comentary what you think, even if you don't run the game yet. Feedback is extremely important to make this wonderful game being more aknowledged. :D
