Hey guys!

Just writing to mention that the GOTG leaderboards have been updated as of 28/5/22.

Changes:

• "We Got This", and "We Got This.. Probably" difficulties have been removed, it is now preferred for any runs with these difficulties to be placed under "We Do It Our Way!".

• Regarding Individual Chapter runs on New Game, a rule has now been put in place allowing abilities to be unlocked. 2 initial skill points are allowed to be stored at the start of every chapter (to be used at any time during), and any skill points unlocked during the run can be used. Other skill points are allowed to be stored at the start of a chapter - but only 2 of them must be used. Chapter 1/A Risky Gamble is an exception to this.

This is to make things fair between all players, leaving any skill to the actual runs themselves. Runners in NG ICs will need to play through the game again if there are any chapters with less than 2 skill points unlocked at the start.

• An optional FPS variable has been added. Runs were previously set to be locked at 60 FPS if playing on PC, now runners who wish to play on a higher frame count can submit their runs under "60+". Framerate counter is still required. If playing on an last-generation console, runs can also be submitted to "30".

• In the misc category, you can find an "All Chapters" version of Full Game. I have found that at least one chapter has earlier skippable dialogue when playing through Chapter Select, and have been thinking about adding this category for a while.

All 17 chapters (Prologue up to 16: Magus) must be played through Chapter Select for this. Chapters played can also be submitted to the Individual Chapter board. As a result, the IGT timer has been enabled.

--Edit-- (28/5/22)

• Leaderboards have been updated to have New Game (now called Any%) and NG+ as required variables for full runs - not individual chapters though. I feel this makes the board look nicer. All runs currently submitted have been updated to these boards.

• The custom Flark% difficulty has been removed from Misc categories.

Edit (22/10/22):

Made some more changes to the leaderboard.

• Rules now have been given categories to make them easier to comprehend (and look better), with some differences: the video rule in Main Rules has been extended to include a minimum for video quality and frame rate, as well as about Twitch highlights and copyrighted music, and the mention of outfits has been removed - all outfits are allowed anyway.

• The Full Game (All Chapters) category has been removed, I thought this may be a good idea but have since realised the most-likely slim time save is not worth it.

• New Game+ no longer requires all abilities and perks to be unlocked. As long as you can start NG+ from the main menu, and have the Guardians' final, story-based abilities unlocked, you can submit runs to the NG+ category.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoy the updates! - Rose
