NetherlandsSorry for the late reply. There is already a boss rush category under misc. Since it has gained popularity we will maybe change it to the front page since people enjoy running it.
Nowadays almost none. However, back in the day there used to be glitches that would not be allowed. An example of this is the chaos distortion glitch shown here: And the wrong warp glitch shown here: Both have been patched and to my knowledge no glitches remain within the game that effect speedrunning. So i would say that there is currently no difference between true and glitchless besides cursed modifiers.
The addition of the extended stage on v1.22 would indeed cause every run form then on to be longer. We asked the community on Discord what they wanted and most agreed on making a split for Legacy and v1.22.
In addition, i have also fixed the auto splitter for WoL so people should be able to run v1.22 with that as well now.
Very soon we are going to overlook and make changes to the speedrun categories since this update has indeed big effect on the speedrun community.
As of now we won't verify any speedruns because of this. My guess is that we are done with discussing comming Friday / Saturday and we will apply the changes shortly after. Make sure to join our discord to stay up-to-date with the changes we make.
Currently there are to my knowledge no glitches in the current WoL V1.033B. So this makes Any%(Glitchless) just normal Any%. The only thing it does at the moment is making sure people wont go to older version just to glitch. Something that is impossible to do on Switch / Xbox & PS4 if i'm not mistaken.
All glitches are just not allowed. Because if there was to find a very OP glitch which would get patched later. Only PC people can go back to the older version (again, if i'm not mistaken). Which just makes people with PS4 / Xbox / Switch just unable to beat the WR.
If there are enough glitches we might consider adding a true Any%. But form what i know only 2 OP glitches have been found which have been patched already. Here they are: Wrong Warp: Infinite Laser:
Yes, sprite's can stun the boss before it's first attack. However, this is indeed a very short time frame and most of the time this doesn't happen. Since the boss is stunned like normal i don't think this is considered a glitch.
Start LiveSplit and rightclick it, then choose Edit Splits... Search Wizard of Legend in Game Name:. Once chosen, there is an option to activate the autosplitter. Enable it and click on the tab Game Time and enter 10 splits (one for each floor / council member). Once done close Edit Splits... and rightclick LiveSplit again, go to Compare Against > Game Time. Also make sure you DON'T have the Clarity mod installed since it will not work with it.
Now when you start the game and enter a dungeon LiveSplit should work. If there are still problems feel free to ask.
I usually try to get Double Trouble at 1-1 or 1-2, once i get it i will try to continue the run and finish it. The best you can do is hoping for good map rng once you get DT.
If you think you are bad with DT, try to do runs with it at 2-2 and stuff to get used to the double damage that you do and recieve.
