GreeceI never thought I'd have to make a post about this as it's pretty self evident: all runs, including the submitted video, should be in real time in order to be verified.
@Liv regarding the DOA series mod request made by Maiguels, literally going to re-request that both he and I get added as series mods. No person except xShiko has more than 2 different games ran. Except the thing is both of his 2 runs are not competitive in any way, not to mention 5 month inactivity. I know mods aren't always decided by how good of a runner they are, but if you touch 2 games once, you should not be more qualified to be a series mod than someone like myself who has been running a single game, consistently, for two years.
While it isn't necessary to replace series mods to add new games, what is necessary is to have at least 1 active series mod. We had various discussions as a community recently, and we all agree that there needs to be some type of overall series moderation. Games such as DOA1 are only moderated by xShiko and nobody else.
Furthermore, most leaderboards are outdated, and without proper access it is impossible to fix them. Personally, I came in contact with both Maiguels and TheMidBoss (DOA3 supermod). I think when the majority of active mods in a series agree that there should be new series mods since the old one is inactive for basically half a year, that counts, as you phrased it, as "the community itself," especially in such a small community.
Regarding the position being misused in the past, I believe the fact that there is general agreement covers that. If you take a look at the DOA5 lb, I have maintained it for more than 2 years, and it is in a great condition.
So once again, I kindly ask you to reconsider the information and grant both Maiguels and I series mod position.
I don't understand what you mean by doesn't have a time. ILs go by IGT. As for the no video, it had one at time of verification which is what matters. Also next time, please make a forum post instead of posting in a thread made for specific discussion. @Tron_Javolta
We now have a community discord. You can use the link below or the one in the sidebar to join.
Hello everybody, I know it’s been a while since any major official statement from the mod team so I wanted to write up this post as a small update as well as a means of addressing a few issues.
First of all, most discussion now takes place on our speedrun discord instead of these forums. You can find the link in the left sidebar. I would heavily recommend joining it to be constantly up to date, as only major/important discussions get posted in the forums.
Over the past few months, the team was expanded by bringing in multiple people as run verifiers to avoid a backlog of unverified runs. While this has been a great success, we are still looking for anyone else who would be interested in joining. If you feel that you can adequately fill the spot, please send me a direct message in discord.
Another important topic that needs discussing is 50 eliminations. Recently we added a 2.0 version of some categories since a series of patches caused both tutorial and 50 eliminations to undergo major changes. Unlike the Tutorial speedrun, however, the popularity of 50 eliminations has been in heavy decline. As a mod team we discussed two possible solutions and would like to hear your feedback. In the first scenario, 50 eliminations stays as is, and is moved to the category extension board (more about that board below) allowing room to open up for new categories. In the second, 50 elims 2.0 is reworked and removes allowing settings to change. However when the category was first created the majority had asked to allow changing settings, so this second option would need large backing before passing. Regardless, something will be done. If you want to share your thoughts, or maybe have another proposal, feel free to do so.
Finally, the category extension board. Historically, when a new category has been requested I have always asked for a run of it before adding it in. The one time I did not was Lucio Rollouts due to the overwhelming support the category received, and look where it ended up. Moving on with the CE board, Hammond% will be added but Lucio Rollouts will be reconsidered if no run is submitted soon. Furthermore, we are looking into a way to incorporate legacy runs into the extension board as a means to clean up the main board (more information will come once the 50 elims discussion has finished).
Anyway, that pretty much sums up everything. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and we would appreciate your thoughts on the 50 elims topic.
Sorry for the delay, categories have been made.
His run is under PC not console. https://imgur.com/a/WmtSPLz
I'll accept this if you do a run, but just because of the fact that you have to pay money to even do a run it will be a misc category. So yeah, if you do the run feel free to post it and I'll add it in.
To prevent this board from being flooded with empty categories the only pre-requisite for requesting a category is to have done a run of it (offer a video example of what it would look like).
Happy to announce that a Category Extension Board has finally been approved. That means that most categories people want can now be implemented even if they are slightly arbitrary!
Basically, Iif you have any new category suggestions/requests please post them over on the category extensions forum.
Going to post a major forum post like right now, so you may want to read up on that.
This is currently not a feature on srcom. RT and IGT are used universally for the whole board. That means that if I was to change it to IGT then that would affect Full-game categories, which currently take priority over ILs. Sorry.
currently out of town/can't rally check runs
sorry for delay, maybe another mod can do it until I'm back
Thanks dude, the 11.250 was proof to me to keep trying. However, I doubt that I will be able to easily recreate it, especially multiple times a run. Generally, competition is good motivation. I am hoping to push another phase 4 world record but we'll see. Also glad that there is a consistent runner besides me.
Generally, you are supposed to start your hero from "scratch". So no ult charged or having placed anything beforehand.
