starting the timer as soon as you gain control to your character is my suggestion
isn't that already mentioned in the Don% rules? it says "The Timer starts when you have control on your character"
or maybe i'm just dumb and didn't understood your question at all kappa
upd nvm i got it now
I don't know why but the timing should include the start of run like any% instead it is timed for the don% segment. always confused me OpieOP
well now there is an actual don% on the leaderboards, but it's called Story+Don%. imo there should have been two sub-categories for don%. one is single segmented (the current Story+Don% on the leaderboards) and the other is multi segmented (the current Don% on the leaderboards, which requires you to load your Any% save file). that would probably erase the confusion between the runners on to how actually do Don% properly
for don%: i think the reason timer starts as soon as you have control of your character is because you don't really have to go to the compound to get the underboss promotion. you leave your safehouse and for example go straight to NJ to take out the Straccis, instead of going to Corleone compound to watch the cutscene. you can watch it later, after you take out all the families and return to the compound to get the don promotion. so you'll watch 2 cutscenes. one being the underboss promotion, and other — don promotion. (if you don't understand what i mean by that, check out znake's don% for the don's edition)
about adding another category: it's up to the mods, but i think it's not necessary. i'm only using the street sweeper in my don% runs, and it works perfectly, so not sure about why you want to have all your weapons upgraded before starting a don% run.
Ok, I did some changes, and please don't be confused.
Story + Don% is now Don% Story + Don of NYC% Segmented is now Don of NYC% Segmented
And for the old Don% & Don of NYC% are now: Don Rank & Don of NYC Rank, officially as miscellaneous categories.
