Hello, if you have been following this speedrun page (unlikely due to how little players there are and how inactive it is) you may have noticed some changes recently.
I have contacted the moderators and i am attempting to somewhat revive this page. I am, however, changing the direction of it. To clarify, I will not remove any previous speedruns from the previously established categories (any% main quest, main quest new character, and vateshran run) although vateshran run is debateable. I don't want to erase any history so if my little project here fails it can be restored to how it was.
My new direction: I plan to essentially centralize this page as a group dungeon speedrun page rather than a more traditional main story quest speedrun page which most elder scrolls games have done previously. My reasoning is that, because the demographic of ESO is quite different, main story quest speedrun is severely less popular for the playerbase, especially the endgame playerbase who is most likely to end up trying to speedrun things.
The most active part of ''speedrun community'' you'll find in ESO is actually not on speedrun.com, and exists within the endgame discords. These are scorepushers who attempt to get the highest scores in 12 man trials and 4 man/solo arenas. This is quite competitive still, although activity has dwindled since update 35. Since there exists a leaderboard already ingame, and world record scores are already tracked in ESO-U's World Record page, I instead focus on a different niche with much more potential: dungeon speedruns.
There are 50 4 man group dungeons within ESO, and these have no formal leaderboard or scoring system. I personally believe this has a very high potential for speedrunning as it's largely unexplored (in terms of speedrunning), and relatively accessible for most of the playerbase as an endgame, in most cases it's the hardest content players will do. This leads me to believe it's an excellent opportunity to create some great competition and opportunity to improve strategies in these dungeons.
There already exists a few speedruns where people actually try to get the fastest runs in these dungeons (which I will submit mself) These are on youtube but not collected in any way like I plan to do here.
Again, to any older players who like how it used to be: I will keep the older categories, and if my project fails to attract any attention I will likely restore the page to how it used to be.
If however, this page attracts more attention, I might introduce the trial and arena speedrun categories although these are harder to quantify with speedrun.com's UI due to records being based on score (Still, the fastest runs are usually the highest score aswell, could just make a rule to complete all score objectives)
That concludes this ''announcement''. Also I might move the dungeon categories to ''individual levels'' as it's a bit weird having to click on each individual dungeon in the categories.
Have a shortcut video of mine on every map, corresponding to the video. kek
you already did that, but fine bc i cannot edit speedruns LOL.
autoclick would mess it up lol. Just have ping >190
Why is thunder so against autojump? it's fucking annoying to play with? Nobody will use it anyway. I don't even have any ideas of shortcuts with autojump, It's only useful to jump over 1 block without touching it.
how about we put in more than 1 second time saving shortcuts first being used? :P Wallbreak (created by: me. somehow not found before early 2016...) Sideship (once again created by: me (first to make a video anyway)) Pauli's leap (couldn't find an older video, if you have the first ever one with pauli's leap pls post) Claw leap, or superj whatever you want to call it. (created by captainclaw98 as far as I know) Itj Exploit ( by ravenclaw, fixed. couldn't find a better video)
that's what i could come up with. make a seperate thread?
Autojump is a nuisanse anyway. it's really annoying bc it jumps all the time. it doesn't make the game ''easier'' and it's never going to be used. I can assure you of that.
I just saw you afk in a lobby. guess you're not back yet : P
I can't do the exploit aswell. I ussualy go through the hut and leap around the spike nowadays.
shouldn't it be ''a FYI? because it's an abbreviation.
is it possible then to get a 48 run with dubj?
I have seen a ''complaint'' on one of my shortcut videos wich states that they cannot do the shortcut because of their ping, Would it actually be a possibilty to ban these shortcuts from the books? Would not be happy about that.
(talking about this shortcut I made. )
Is alright, fatty, also I changed my name from Stonerack to Lucht corresponding to my new ingame name. Also, when I searched for my shared WR with m3loca, I couldn't find it on the website. Since when did all the old WRs get removed or something?
Could you change my name to Lucht? That's what I go by now. If not possible, Lucht.
I don't really have any connections anymore, so what mps can I join to speedrun? :3
you didn't add my first world record you bully.jkjk I had pirate bay 1:16 kitless with m3loca.
EDIT: found it
Change name to Stonerack pls? I got WR on Dragon Escape and i changed ingame name :3
