Having the speedrun be from starting a run to grabbing crown makes way more sense because there is built in perfect timing already. Is there something wrong with in game time that makes this not a good choice? I'd personally prefer in game time, and the best time to switch over to it would be now before a bunch of other people post runs. (This whole thread only applies to runs where you actually beat the game, I know there is a lobby parkour where this doesn't apply)
the problem with in game timing is that it doesnt account for time spent choosing perks. i would prefer in game time aswell, real time probably has problems with load times and lag
edit: igt changed in patch or maybe misinformation, but it does in fact account for time spent choosing perks
i have reached out to noisestorm about adding an additional timer, but i havent recieved a response
Maybe we'll get better timers for speedrun if the speedrunning community around this game gets big enough + early access just came out so we can have hope for the future
Isn't autosplit exactly what you need to have the timer with reflection time but without loading times ?
In the last day or two new categories have been introduced including flawless%, Island 90%, and multiplayer hardcore runs. If anyone has suggestions for new categories feel free to comment on this post, create a new thread, or post it in the speedrunning discord server.
