I want to start the series of discussion about DH and IH raid to make clear the rules and create categories for both raids.
First things first - game rules. As this game is a "MMO" it can be played only on newest patch. Submission should be with full video without altered sound and splicing (if person alt-tab and sound disappear run should be dismissed).
For Raids only rules. Only with video proof. On submitted video should be on raid timer which are in -> Settings/UI/Raid Speedrun UI One speedrun team suggested to time every run on Iron Horse not by in-game timer which I am against for Iron Horse and same for Dark Hours.
For categories: Any% - any known trick is allowed (for Iron Horse i want to discuss in another forum post) Glitchless% - no game breaking glitches and bugs are allowed: no nego transferring to immune enemies, no super drag or reset drag.
I also want to discuss about Razorback one shot, should it be allowed in Glitchless%. Pros: Sharpshooter's Tac-50 gimmick is a penetrative bullet. Looks better and not that long Cons: Devs initially did Razorback kill encounter in 4 phases and limited the dmg per opening to 25% of total health.
I am pro oneshot bcz it is tedious to do full Razorback.
If there is smth you want to suggest or discuss — post here.
Discard this whole msg.
A little update for Glitchless% I am pro nego transferring for boomer with shocking him bcz it is fun to do, but not oneshot.
Discard this whole msg.
So update for rules. Basic Rules for a game: Only video proof. No altered sound of a game if at any point the sound disappears - run should be dismissed. At the end player should show the leaderboard time in Progression/Leaderboards. For raids: On submitted video should be on raid timer which are in -> Settings/UI/Raid Speedrun UI. You should complete the raid killing every boss.
