Unsure if Primary Objectives like "Launch ICBM" and "Conduct Geological Survey" should have distinct categories based on the enemy you're facing. They are currently sorted that way as it makes the most sense to me at the cost of Category Bloat, but that was always going to happen so I'm not really worried about it - just curious for opinions if anyone else has had experience setting up leaderboards.

I think the main consideration is organization & sorting in general - we may want to consider Category Extensions leaderboards. Stealth/Pacifist runs are possible and I hope I encourage the development of more goofy challenge runs by showing it off later.

idk hehe thanks for waiting while I set up the board btw everyone!! <3

PLEASE if you notice any missions missing from the categories let me know!!!!! I've not been grinding in the same way others have so it's very likely I've missed a mission type here.

A seperate Solo category for runs might also be an idea

I 100% get your concern with that and I've been thinking about it a lot the past 2 weeks. Category bloat is this board's biggest issue right now, so one way to save on that is having player count sorted on the user's end.

Catagory Bloat is natural with so many different ways to play the game. Over time the community im sure will pick a core set that we give the most weight to so itll sort itself out :)

with these categories what do we do for inbetween ones? i.e. activate e-710 pumps we have one for trivial (which i dont think it can spawn on) but nothing for easy, do we just need to wait for categories to be updated? or do we submit our easy runs on the trivial category?

Glad you brought that up because I was thinking the same. Have to go through the categories and implement the right difficulties, which will take some time. If you want you can submit now, but you'll probably have to submit again after the boards are updated.

I would like to see a category based around sample collection. Something i've been doing is running trivial missions and trying to get 10 samples in a quick time, so far i get around 10 samples per 7 minute run, not sure if this is more or less interesting than objective based categories though.

100% agree - a Trivial All Samples category will be added shortly. Perhaps it can make way for a difficulty-agnostic All Samples board in the future

All Samples is much easier to track than 100% which would necessitate tracking every PoI which is not really possible with no external tools/map viewer/replay editor etc.

Would it be possible to add no suicide runs? meaning mission objective + extract times?

@Zomada we already have a lot of category bloat, if we add an additional category for every one we already have, we're going to absolutely drown

Could we have a category for Stratagem Hero?

@daddy_deano It's in the works !

@seetor Hi i did not find a solo category, is it already there or is it planned?

The leaderboards doesnt make any sense btw

@Daxzz Issues should be amended, apologies for any confusion.

The Individual level leaderboards should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/NHfErW6 i think both Tutorial runs should be Full Game, and the other ones should be ILs, with the subcategories in the picture, instead of that [A], [T] thing. If you don't know how to do that i can help.

It does looks nice actually

Could we have the ability to filter out by Squad Size? Solo, Duo, Trio and Full?

I would also have the ability to select which planet as well, since the map layouts for some of these can greatly affect the time as well.

Third, I would add an "Extraction Required" for a separate set of timed runs. Here is a good example of some current time discrepancies.

I think this would create a huge category flood and that in that case there'll be like a single run by category
