Hi, im new to speedrunning in general and ive just had a 1.5hr ng+ run. So my question is will there be a ng+ category or is it staying with fresh starts???
its probably easier to discuss that stuff on the discord if you can join it but concerning your question i would vote for ng+ as a category
I think NG have too many RNG factors.This requires good luck. Especially in church I vote for ng+ as a category
Every run has RNG. Even NG+ has RNG. If the only argument to add another category would be that there would be less "RNG" in NG+, is incorrect on its own.
My main concern with NG+ is the fact that nobody starts on a fresh save file, and runs therefore starts with either a disadvantage for some and an advantage for some depending on what levels and equipment are carried over from their NG save file.
also the game is unfriendly to NG speedrun. try and practice more to get the success one hope church will smoothly
the thing about NG+ is yes it doesn't start on a fresh file but it has an easy way to say "yes this is the starting spot" and ending would be the same. As for the thing about disadvantage and advantage, that on the players if they don't want to put in the effort to have a max efficient set up to go quickly in NG+ that's on the runner, so i wouldn't say anyone is at a disadvantage unless the runner themselves put themselves there, and at that point that's the same as if a runner decides to not go for certain skips. If you choose not to do this you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. I'm not arguing that NG+ should or shouldn't be a category, just saying i don't think the argument for saying that NG+ would be at a disadvantage is a correct argument for why it should or shouldn't be allowed. If NG+ was put onto the leaderboard i definitely do think it should be separate categories. Though personally while i might be interested in doing a run or two of NG+ idc if it gets a leaderboard because i don't think it adds that much more to the run
A huge majority of games with new game + have a new game + category. Many with no interest in new game +. Just saying if theres any interest in new game + there should be a category.
while that is true if there only like one or two runners who did like one run there's not much of a point in the leaderboard. The thing is most people are probably be alot more active running NG categories over running NG+ because NG+ doesn't really add anything, again you're more then welcome to run what you want but if no one is running the category there's no real point in having it
I recently just joined the Code Vein Speedrunning discord for a few days and "Left" have give me a save file to run NG+, however, he have limited amount of trading equipments to exchange for different character's ichor therefore, I think we need a new save file so that we can buy all of the ichor's character to make it easier to speedrun NG+.
