Hello everyone, I'm going to be doing speedruns again! Yay! As I tried to get back into speedrunning, I noticed that you can no longer skip hydra, the bear and the bandits while traveling from Oaklore to Falconreach. This basically means that all old runs are enshrined never to be beaten again. I made some changes to the leaderboards seeing as how the No Book categories are obsolete now. I also added new pre and post build 15 categories. If you have any questions, please let me know. I also made a Discord! Yay!
I would love to make a dragonfable discord. I believe that I have made one, however, I am absolutely terrible with maintenance on it? Do you know how to perform those operations Kelvin?
I also would like to get into speedrunning this game potentially. I would like to be updated with posts about rules as well.
So I noticed going back into the game, that they have a new UI for the book we use in the run. The new UI changes things like how far you move the cursor to click and heal, which isn't a terribly big deal. But the biggest deal is that you can no longer teleport straight to Falconreach right after beating the first quest in Oaklore. This mainly effects the Dragon Egg categories, but it also effects all categories as well. This makes runs longer by now having to go through the woods, fight the bear and fight the hydra. Does the community have any ideas of how we would like to handle this? Archive old runs? Keep the old runs and create new categories? The options are open.
Same, I have it for PS2, but having it on the PC would be nice. How do I best get it on PC?
Hey TFS, are you doing the run on a laptop or PC? I can't seem to recreate your results of making the cutscenes and movement roughly twice as fast. But I'm also playing on a laptop, so that might have something to do with it. I am however using the launcher and making the window really small.
TFS found an amazing way to beat the dragon egg saga using something that looks like a book 3 skip. This is really cool and hats off to you TFS. This skip shortens the normal run from roughly 17-18 minutes to 1-2 minutes. This also makes the run have only one battle, the tutorial battle. Because the run is so different from the normal runs we have so far, I have made a separate category that allows for the Book 3 skip, I also don't have any subcategories such as solo because there's only one fight to begin with and you can't change anything about it. I would like to hear some feedback about this decision, whether you guys love or hate it. Thanks!
Oh, sorry about that. I'll try to fix the discord. That really sucks Shiney, you said that it worked in the past? I'm going to try and contact artix entertainment or someone to see if they can spread the word about speedrunning this game. There's so much content that we could have tons of different runs. Lot's of fun to be had with this game.
Thanks for making me a moderator of this game. I added some cool ideas and new things. I changed the theme, if you guys don't like it we can always get rid of the picture and use the classic red. I also added a few new subcategories, I feel that these add new runs to learn that have different strategies for each one. I am going to look into the orb quest to see how to start and end that and to see what we would need to do for that one. I moved Shiney's run over into the No Book category because you didn't use it, and I also left one in the normal category because all of your runs fit under both categories. I changed the name of the run from Memberless% to Dragon Egg Saga-No DA. Now a days it isn't a membership anymore, you don't have to pay monthly. It's just a one time buy of the dragon amulet, I thought it was a more fitting title.
Thanks, I think it will be really exciting to make routes for all the different possibilities that this game has to offer.
I would totally be willing to be a moderator in order to take care and manage these runs if you guys are busy or you don't want to put in the work for these runs.
Can we make a speedrun in which you have to collect the orbs in some way. Maybe we could also add factors to the runs like solo, in which you can't have guests.
I just wanted to know how you had a sword in your inventory when you created a new character ShineySandslash.
I think that's a fantastic idea, I've never heard of anything like this happening in any other communities. It sounds fun.
I will definitely get into this game, I hope I can be a moderator. But I have like 3 Speedruns done, the only problem is that I can’t edit my videos. I can capture them, but the capture device captured in multiple files and the edit software they give you won’t upload to YouTube unless it’s less than 10 minutes. (Its old) once I figure out how to upload videos of my Speedruns I will be posting regularly.
Yeah, none of his runs have a video. they should definitely be taken down
How is a run allowed that doesn't have a video? Just an image of splits? I haven't ran this game, but don't all other games require video?
