As of May 2017 there is a new HDN community Discord which will serve as a home for both general fans of the series and speedrunners for the foreseeable future. The Discord aims to be more gameplay-focused than other HDN servers out there with a dedicated room for each game/set of games, though there is still a room for Nep media.

Most of the channels are public. If you're a speedrunner of one or more games in the series you can get a "speedrunner" role to access more administrative rooms such as those for marathon planning and leaderboard administration - just PM any user with the CPU role once you've joined.

Planned Date: August 18/19/20 (Dates subjected to change)

Votes End February 28 for official channel name

I am seeing if a site mod can revert the board records back due to accidentally deleting the category

No runs will be accepted until a site mod gets back if reverting the records possible

I accidentally deleted the category and lost the records. Can this be reverted?

i vouch on that. ^

So pretty much what the title states. I had doubts to even start or even attempt it but after some discussion we decided to give it a shot. Ill be one of the organizers of this so it possible to get a forum in the marathon thread?

Planned date August 2017

this is an easy miss but you got this

We will be keeping the same categories as of now.
NG (Free DLC can be used but it adds a frame during start (PS4)
NG+ No Paid DLC
NG+ DLC (you can use DLC's or not which is pretty much the same as "No Paid" but this pretty meme (usually for players that have dlc and don't want to go through the struggle steps.

We might re-rule this category just to make it fair.

These below are considered not "real" wr's cause its for fun.

NG DLC (Meme enough already) its not consider as a real category but for fun.
Neplunker% just for fun and jokes

Honestly there arent many categories to add. Like doing Bad / Good / True are 9 total categories. that including IL's

Date: August 2017 EST

Right at this moment we are planning to make a HDN Marathon happen. Possible 12 Games depending on what Estimates we get and categories

Right now we are voting on the main channel http://www.strawpoll.me/11986810

Also due to the old main HDN Channel being deleted. Right now my main discord is being used

You need to pm either me/sub admin or someone listed as CPU role be added as "HDN" to see the channel https://discord.gg//4Jndz8v

Anyways its in the planning. If you wish to join the marathon we have a spreadsheet to determine ppl's best time who gets the slot for the game.

NG / NG+ and ending based.

Rules have been adjusted. the Histy's Set was suppose to only be banned in NG Category only since its kinda helps early run. Like there was an item set in vanilla nep and mk2 you can only use once applied but in MDNV it can be applied every new file as per dabom mention.

I've been routing True End Route currently since Good End doesn't have the grind part. Also trying to establish the rules clearly.

New Game Category will have a different set of rules from what i experienced but i want to see your opinion on what rules to be added.

New Game+ Rules are will have the standard No S + Q since your already over leveled. But before that i wanna hear your opinions still.

Bad End = is pretty much the Any%
Normal End = is the same as bad scenes but has CG and cutscenes thats all
True End = The advance version of Any%
