We're at a point now that the game should just be made as fast as it possibly can be. New people aren't really gonna be coming back to this game for speedrunning reasons. Only people who already ran would be coming back to speedrun and most of us have access to SRL things. I say merge.

Recently a sequel was announced on Bungie's Twitter for Destiny called Destiny 2. Will we have to wait until we are closer to release to add this game to our series or are we able to get that done soon?

That adds a lot of different categories that people won't run. It adds clutter. Just run everything on the lowest world tier. It's not like it's unfair to do that or as if the run is any different.

I'm gonna be honest with you. I forgot I modded for this leaderboard. 1.4 did change a whole lot of things and I think it'd be safe to just go ahead and wipe these leaderboards if it's ok with Trushade and the others.

There is a filter tab. Use it.

No because that takes all time spent in the entire mission.

We should just do both and actually use the RTA for RTA. RTA being start to finish no pauses no matter what. In-game being with cut out death screens and just generally how the game is supposed to be timing things. The inconsistent timers have thrown my perspective of the timing in this game in the trash. I no longer trust it.

I have an answer for this. Just have an alt account for NG runs. you're guaranteed to start with 0 glimmer and there's no worrying about spending all your glimmer and needing it for a real character later. You wouldn't make a new account every run but you would just use that 2nd account for NG only and not care what else is done to it. If you have PS Plus or Xbox gold you should have no issues with using a 2nd account and not being able to do some things.

Never saw this till now but you can't repeat the entire no time to explain quest or any mission to my knowledge. Unless you just mean the alt ending for Paradox.

So today a discovery was made while we were comparing a few different Nexus runs. Doctor Wonker and his group's 2:37, a 2:40 by Redeem and a 2:41 also by Redeem. Now, the death screen that says 'Darkness has consumed you', Aka the scoreboard and the wipe countdown that the game gives you when everyone dies to get to that screen are not consistent and offset the in game timer.

So first of all, the wipe timer that sends you to the darkness consumes you screen can either be 3 seconds or 5 seconds. Already, we have an inconsistency. I am not 100% sure if this is something that happens in solo too but it does happen in runs with 2 or more people.

Next, Scardrow and his group did a '2:35' Nexus run just earlier today. I took it upon my self to time this again with livesplit. The timer started when they spawned into the strike and paused when their death screen showcasing the scoreboard appeared and immediately started again when they respawned, then finally ended when mission complete had appeared. This however left me with the time of 2:33 instead of the '2:35'.

So not only is the wipe timer to see your death screen random as to if it will be 3 seconds or 5 seconds, but on top of that, the screen showing off the scoreboard also throws off the time shown at the end of the mission.

This means we have a dilemma. People can complete near perfect runs but have a level of RNG that was never intended rob them of the record despite their run being better in every way and having a faulty in-game timer give them longer time. It's like Destinytracker all over again adding random amounts of orbit time.

So the way I see it, we can do a few things: 1. Ban death warps. I say hell no to banning death warps on a grand scale like we banned the warp in King's Fall. We're trying to be fast here, not the same speed with a fake speedtest. 2. Have all missions the involve using a death warp be time in RTA instead of the game timer. I feel like this is the most simple option. To just include every second of the run as a part of the missions' overall time, death screen and all. 3. The more complicated option, manually cut all time spent in death screens out and use a timer on screen as your official time.

I'd hate to be a really strict mod and allow less fun but it's not cool to work really hard for a time just to get unlucky with the amount of time a death warp adds and lose a record time just because of some faulty in-game timer that serves no purpose to anybody but us. We could just be like other speedrunning communities an just use our own timing as the official one. I know the Borderlands speedrunning community does this. The time played given on the character's progress sheet is innaccurate to the actual time put into said character.

I know this went on for a while but this was a issue that could not be skimped on when it came to explaining the situation. There will be a video posted about this by either Ehroar, ModernTryhard, or me sometime this week.

You can kill him before he teleports you into the shade-like dimension. I was doing this when I ran the mission long ago.

Today's hype train has pulled into the station and you know what this means... NEW STUFF TO SPEEDRUN AND NEW GEAR TO PLAY WITH!

So just so you know, when all this stuff goes up I will be on at the very moment of release and will be adding all replayable missions to the leaderboards ASAP on top of making videos. No need to worry about when the stuff will go up, you'll be able to start posting times right away. If anything significant gets nerfed in the big patch we'll be sure to talk about what we wanna do with the leaderboards. Whether it be to archive all the old times like we did with the pre-2.1 times or whatever we come up with it won't be long until all is ready.

RISE OF IRON HYPE!

Typically you just have 2 friends stay in your fireteam and not do anything.

We can do spindle whenever now so why not have it on the site. Just have the end time be what was left on the timer.

There are supplements to not having Year 1 heavy loader gauntlets. Year 2 exotic gauntlets. Typically where ever you need to reload heavy (usually ghorn) you have time to swap armor and not lose time. I.E. Black Garden, Eye of the Gate Lord, etc. If there are supplements there is no need to not allow specific stuff that isn't obtainable anymore. We can't do old sparrow boosting at all so we added new leaderboards. We didn't just ban sparrows outright.

It's different with something minor like year 1 heavy loader gauntlets which effects few missions as opposed to something major like SRL gear which aids the main mechanic of the game. That being movement. There are ways to make up for not having heavy loader but not ways to make up for not having SRL gear.

Personally I'd go by RTA but the issue with going RTA is load times being inconsistent due to this being an online only game. The IGT is still important though.

I added Jukes as a mod.

You just go off to the side onto the rocks now. You only have to start the spawns by making it to the other end of the bridge, you don't have to make it up.

It's doable but quite a bit slower. Still faster than just boosting along normally like the average player does.

I've wanted that to be done. Clutter is the reason duo was combined with fireteam.
