After some deliberation, we have decided to remove Individual Level speedruns from the Speedrun.com leaderboards. This is something that the rest of the Doom boards have done and Chex Quest will do the same going forward in order to keep in line with the rest of the community. We deemed this necessary as the doom rule set has gotten much more strict on how times should be submitted/recorded in order for said runs to be considered legitimate. Originally, Doom boards set up IL boards in order to attempt to have parity with more conventional Doom boards like those on DSDA, however this didn't end up panning out. Apologies if this is an inconvenience. Remember that this does not mean that you will not be able to submit IL runs period. Go over the guidelines as to submitting Doom Demos and make sure that your runs fall in line with what is expected and submit your times to https://doomedsda.us/wad2638.html (link directs to DSDA's page for Chex Quest 1). If anyone needs guidance on demo recording or anything related, the mods on this board or any of the other Doom boards are certainly willing and able to give assistance.

Now that someone has submitted a 2ALL run I have added a variable for the Loop Type:

None: Run is not done in a 2ALL loop Tsuujou Loop: Run satisfies 2ALL loop requirements but does not get the true ending Ura Loop: Run satisifes 2ALL loop requirements and gets the true ending after fighting the true final boss

yo where are your PB vids at?

Back when this board was made it was just me and 8bitisgr8. In 8bit's absence, I was put in charge to be the only supermod. Since I don't play this at all anymore I have relinquished my role as supermod and have given it to the holders of the top 2 times: Blueimp and LTC. Thanks for your understanding. :D

The new route is still in its infancy however I wanted to make a thread dedicated to it.

Current Ideas:

Party members that could be removed from the route:

Landsknecht - The current route uses the landsknecht once in the run. The purpose of this member is to have the first Ragelope target it instead of the Palidin or Alchemist. This could possibly be routed out if RNG is manipulated differently. Just a thought.

Medic - I have talked to PPJ about this one for a while. The Medic is used 3 times over the course of the run. The first of which is in Stratum 1 where it gains enough levels to learn Cure and Unbind. It is then used again during one of the Stratum 3 grinding sections to use Unbind. It's main use is for the Ren and Tlatchga fight at the beginning of Stratum 5. It uses Unbind on Hexer 1 and then Unbind on Hexer 2. I don't believe the Medic is useful at all. It uses Unbind on characters that are bound however none of those binds impact the characters abilities so it only serves to advance the RNG values. I feel that the Medic could be replaced with another damage dealing character (Possibly another Hexer with Suicide).

Party members that will most likely stay:

6 Survivalists - They all play very important roles in the run. i.e. High Agility, S1 Take drops, Stalker, Ambush.

2 Alchemists - At the beginning of the run, Alchemist 1 is a huge asset with Poison. Alchemist 1 is also used a good bit through the rest of the run as well. Alchemist 2 is a toss up. It is used to deal with the Rollers in the Cernunnos fight as well as being utilized to quickly end all 3 fights in the Stratum 3 grinding section. Alchemist 2's future in the run is certainly something we should think about.

2 Hexers - Bar none probably the most useful class for fighting the late game bosses. They make quick work of Iwaopeln, Ren and Tlatchga, and Etreant. Evil Eye and Suicide absolutely cripple bosses and Relapse allows you to continually use Suicide without worrying about losing fear on them.

Dark Hunter - Dark Hunter makes Stratum 4 doable. Petrify is insane. There is no doubt in my mind that it is staying.

Paladin/Protector - Used in the entire run. Parry is super useful throughout the majority of the game and access to Anticold for Cotrangl is amazing. This will stay in the route unless we find some heavy manip for Cotrangl or something else comes up.

Route Changes:

Replace Medic with another Hexer - This could cut the turns for Iwaopeln, Ren and Tlatchga, and Etreant in half. Having another Hexer with Evil Eye and Suicide would double the possible damage output for the late game bosses.

Change Grinding to incorporate Petrify - I feel if instead of fighting long, menu intensive encounters to do the grinding section we could instead fight FOEs utilizing the Dark Hunter with manipulated petrifys. Again I have done no testing with this strategy but it is something to consider.

This is what I am thinking about atm. Please let me know if you guys have any other thoughts. Any ideas are appreciated :D

Alexo I have given you supermod and you are welcome to do what you want with the boards since you are the most active. If you need me or proinfernape to do anything for you feel free to post below.

I'm currently doing NG+ runs of the endings and would like for you guys to add a NG+ category with subcategories for the endings. Thanks!

EDIT: here is a link to a Deep City run I did

As of right now there is no way to link a Stream.me account to the site bar linking it in the personal website icon. Over the past month the site has gained a small but active speedrunning group. Compared to a site that has a link like Beam.pro, the activity and the amount of speedrunners on the platform is much greater. Currently the amount of runners coming over to Stream.me is growing and as the community grows it would be nice to have a dedicated icon for profiles.

Regards, Electra

I made some changes to the layout of the board. Now that they are done I am going to give up my mod position here. Thanks.

We need to have a standard timing method going forward. I propose that runs should begin at selecting the the save file. Depending on the ending runs should end as follows. Chaos should end upon the last important action before the ending cutscene (Selecting "Rooftop"). Nihilism, Law, and Neutral all have dialogue before the ending cutscene is played. Therefore they should all end on the final line of dialogue.

Let me know what you think and if changes need to be made we can discuss.

Pixql and I have done a bit of overhauling to turn this board from a gray mess into something more pleasing to the eye. Going forward we are going try to be as transparent as possible so that everyone is happy with any changes made to the leaderboard. That being said, the changes are as follows.

-New Background (optimized for 1080p) -New Panel Colors (Panels: 000111; Boarders: EDC340;) -Addition of Physical/Digital variable (save is faster on the digital release) -NG+ is not misc. (It is like this in other games in the series and in other games on the site. We can have an open discussion about this later though if there is opposition to it) -Main Categories are currently set to Difficulties with the Endings set as Sub-Categories. Pixql and I believe that this makes the boards looks clean and concise but we are still having discussion with others about this. -Timing method will from now on be at the last important choice or the last line of text for the specific ending. (not really anything to do with how the board looks but I thought I'd throw that in there)

I think that is about everything feel free to message me or any of the other active Mods (pretty much just Pixql) about anything you need to know or suggestions for the board. You can find all of our handles on our SRcom profiles.

Making the boards look less cluttered with subcategories. Will be readding the episodes through the day. Give feedback on the updates if you want to :D

To preface, Chex Quest follows the same rules as Doom.

Leaderboard Guideline:

-Runs must be SS (Single Segment) -Since death causes IGT to restart, dying invalidates a run

-Timing method is IGT -Certain versions of the WAD do not show e1m5 time on certain SourcePorts. If the SourcePort you use does not show the final time, use an AltHud that shows the time. -Submitting your final split in the future will NOT be accepted.

-Demo Recording -Demo Recording with command line parameters is preferred to beginning a run in game. For the sake of this leaderboard both methods will be allowed, but traditionally Doom speedruns are done with demo recording rather than vods. There are a good amount of tutorials on how to do demo recording online and it is pretty much the same process for every SourcePort. If you have any questions on how to do it feel free to ask a mod.

-No Jump/Crouch or Free Aim -Do not use these features. The game was not designed with them in mind.

I think that covers everything. If there is anything I need to add let me know.

When you guys have time add a Yosuga route category. I'm routing it right now and I will be doing runs during the summer.
