New York City, NY, USAHi everyone! Our conversation has concluded in our Discord, and I am happy to welcome Anton_YerBoi to the moderation team! At this point, I will be stepping down as the game moderator and passing all duties to Anton. If you have any moderation questions from this point froward, please contact Anton through SR.C or Discord.
Even though I was very inactive myself, I would like to thank the community for keeping the game active by submitting runs every now and then. I wish Anton and this community the best going froward. Keep getting those times down!
Hi everyone! If you have not seen the post in the Discord yet, I am investigating a possible moderator change for The Witcher 2. I have been very busy with life and school in the past year, and that resulted in me being inactive for a long time. Anton_YerBoi has come up to me asking for them to be moderator, and while I think that's a great idea, I would like to hear what the community thinks. Please post your comments or objections here or on the Discord, a decision will be made on Sunday, October 23rd at 12:00am ET.
Hi everyone! As you may have noticed recently, there has been a change to the run verification process. I have decided to drop the run verification requirement, therefore newly submitted runs won't need to be verified by a moderator to appear on the leaderboards.
There are two reasons for this, the first is that I have less free time to verify runs than in the past, and the other is the low volume of runs that get submitted. This means I will no longer be looking at new runs, so if you suspect foul play in a submission, please report it and I'll investigate.
Now the obvious question that needs to get asked, why not add more moderators? I've already been asked this question a couple times, and my view is that the game is so small to begin with, there's really no need for an additional moderator. Of course this could change over time if more runs are submitted. Only time will tell...
Just a warning for new runners and seasoned veterans alike: patch 1.1 softlocks your game if you've completed the Takemura quest "Down On The Street" in any save. If you haven't updated yet, good for you, make sure you don't update for now! (as of 1/22/20 10:07pm EST)
Since Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out soon, the mods of Witcher 1, WItcher 2, Witcher 3 and Thronebreaker are discussing the future of the series on speedrun.com. We were thinking of having a CD Projekt RED Games series instead of The Witcher series, so we could add Cyberpunk 2077 to it. Would this new series be possible? Thanks.
EDIT: Probably should mention that both series moderators are inactive at this time, and we would like to replace them at some point. We're still discussing the possible options.
Any% is not the only category anymore! Every chapter has its own Any% and 100% subcategories which are much shorter than normal.
At the moment, there's no Discord server dedicated to the game, as there aren't enough runners. For now, please join The Witcher 3 Discord server, there's a separate text channel for Witcher 2 speedruns.
