Hello heisters!
Following much deliberation, using both the results of the forms and internal opinions of the moderator team (obviously leaning more into form results), we have come to announce our two new verifiers! We'd like to welcome @ILLEST & @Y5ET with open arms to the moderation team as our two new verifiers, both on the main leaderboard as well as the CE leaderboards. Illest is a former competitive halo player with a hunger for FPS game speedrunning, and Y5ET is a certified Payday fanatic, clocking in over 2500 hours in payday 2, as well as 130 hours in Payday 3. We look forward to working alongside you both, within the short, and long, future!
Alongside this announcement, we'd also like to announce our ruling in regards to the timer debate. We're happy to announce that runs will be moving away from IGT timing, and move towards frame-based timings (rounded up/down to the nearest second). The new timing method shall be done using a youtube frame timer, and be timed from the first visible frame following the black fade-in to a heist, to the first frame the HUD disappears at the end. It will be a lengthy task to retime all current runs, so we politely ask for your patience in regards to this feat.
Thank you :) <3
Hey heisters!
Following recent discussion, both between runners and internally between the moderation team, we would like to hear your opinion regarding any potential avenues for how runs should be timed. This poll is aimed at trying to fix this issue, and see where community consensus lays.
This poll is open for 1 week (ending 10th of Jan, 00:00 UTC) so please let us know your opinion before then! <3
Hey Heisters!
Following some recent misunderstandings with the "Every runner must record their POV and submit it alongside the run in the run submission description" - the rule has been rewritten to clear up any misunderstandings. POVs are allowed to be within the description of, for example, a youtube video - however it is preferred they are given in the run submission description on speedrun.com. If your run has POVs available on youtube, but not on site, we'll edit your submission to include these POVs in the run description. :D
Also, we've seen quite a few runners submit their runs (both coop and solo) with the "Time" field filled out. For the purpose of our leaderboards, this field isn't something we care about - as our timing method is "In-Game Time" (IGT). So please, only fill out the "In-Game Time" field when submitting a run, thank you :)
As well to add, you can join our speedrun discord server: here to stay up to date on any news regarding the leaderboards!
