I am going to figure that the rule set is going to be almost identical to the New Game but it's not listed in there.
I can see things are in motion around here and it set off like 10 alerts in my feed but I do plan on doing a Normal setting NG+ run tonight, confirmation of the rules would be excellent :)
You are correct regarding timing method as well as timer Start - End.
We have been cleaning up Chapter Challenge to ensure that characters does not take a lot of overhead categories. I highly encourage you to check out the discord here https://discord.gg/2D8hHPr
The categories and rule set finalisation will be announced as I mentioned in the pinned thread here:
https://www.speedrun.com/ng3re/thread/rrj4m
Until then no runs will be accepted till tomorrow.
Remember, Worsel, no mode is called "new game +" in-game, and there's a difference between choosing Default Settings at the start (which makes it ng+) and choosing Base Data (which makes it ng++). Be mindful of what you choose, wince those will be different categories in the near future.
Yeah, but when you go to the "NewGame+" under the Misc tab there's nothing which is why I tried to get some clarification on rules and what not ahead of time. I am going to stream my attempt later, it's gonna be something, but when submissions open up it's best to have everything ironed out ahead of time especially if you give prior notice to "Hey, I am looking to run this category." to a mod instead of "Hey, I did this run, what should the rules be for this? Is this going to be a category? How do we filter this down?"
Over in Bayonetta 2 I had several runners wanting to do emulated runs and we broke it all down, got it set up ahead of time what the categories were going to be, the rule sets, made it all up and went live... and I am the only one doing runs for it lol.
I just want to make sure that it's all good and ready to rock. Like I said, I can see there is a lot going on here in preparation and I am making my intent known.
Also if you said that picking Default Settings at the start makes it NG+ and Base Data NG++ I think it's reversed? Default Settings should carry over any weapons and Karma you already have, Base Data puts everything back to zero and you have to re-earn everything again.
In your Normal run currently on the board you selected New Game, Default Settings. Weapons and ninpo were all available to you but you needed to do the IKG to buy them.
So unless I am overthinking something (And I could very well could be as I struggle with exhaustion from medical issues) then pretty much everything should technically be a NG+ run such as yours posted above and then if you start with weapons and ninpo unlocked and ready to rock that would be NG++, there would be no "New Game" category unless you wiped the game from the system or in the case of the Master Collection on PC removing the saves and system data, making you start completely at zero?
Like I said I may be overthinking stuff and my brain is pretty much swiss cheese today, but I just want to be sure. I plan on running the game with weapons/ninpo unlocked and good to go since the IKG was removed out from the Master Collection and I am forced to contend with the 360/PC version since the PS3 has hard locks at the end of the game from doing the IKG two times in a run.
Worsel: I regret that you’re suffering from the side effects of your meds and hope you recover soon.
Claryfing, as I am asolutely sure of this, since I’ve been running the game almost daily for the past two weeks: DEFAULT SETTINGS (ng+): Your unlocks carry over, so everything is available to you from the start, but you still have to buy everything.
BASE DATA (ng++): Your unlocks AND purchases carry over. Everything is available and purchase, so you’re a beast from the start.
TRUE NEW GAME: You can access it by creating a new user in your console. Everything is locked and unavailable to you at the start, unlocking at certain scarab counts and save points. You have to unlock and buy everything. My latest run, pasted below, corresponds to this category.
Regards!
