Hey, this will be a long post, so sorry for that.
First of all, I think that the Discord link on this site is expired. I wanted to ask these questions in the Discord, but I cannot join. Here is also fine since my questions are speedrun related.
All my questions are about adding pages on sr.c for different categories/mods. I would like to see if other people also would be interested in these ideas, an open discussion. I am fully aware that adding these categories/mods may lead to dead leaderboards and a mess on the site. My expectation is that all 3 ideas are going to denied, but it never hurts to ask for a game that I love.
Question 1: Glitchless? (BL2 Main Leaderboard) Some glitches that are being used (weapon stacking and infinite ammo with Vladof rocket launchers, just to name the 2 major glitches) change the speedrun significantly. The playstyle change that these glitches have on the speedrun is not fun for me. I like the luck based farming and more skillful shooting. I was wondering if other people also would like to see a glitchless category. (I sold this very poorly xD)
Question 2: TTAoDK: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure? (Own Leaderboard?) I remember asking about this 2 years ago somewhere, but I never got a clear answer. Maybe there are new people that would like to give it a try. In my opinion there are enough differences in this "game" than the original. Start in the adventure at level 1, 2 skill points per level up, more/different sidequests, bosses with loot pools, slightly different enemies (armor on orcs) and some other slight changes like starting chests and seraph crystals. I already did a run 2 years ago. You can watch it here.
Question 3: Roguelands mod? (Category Extensions/Own Leaderboard) 4 weeks ago Joltzdude139 with the help of some amazing people made a roguelike mod for Borderlands 2, Roguelands. I believe that 90% of people here already knows what it is. I really enjoy playing it and I think that it would be a fun speedrun. It's fun and pretty fast for a BL2 speedrun. There is even a version with less levels for people that don't have a lot of free time. Players may not like it since it's very rng heavy, but I really like rng in speedrunning. Today I finished my first speedrun with Zer0. You can watch it here.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Q1: We already have a pseudo glitchless category called "Current Patch" that you can find here.
Q2/3: We are willing to create new categories if you can get multiple other people to do a run and be ready to submit. TTAoDK would take a little more effort given it is an entirely different game (kind of).
Also I changed the discord link, try it again :D
Thank you! I will look into the "Current Patch" tab soon.
I still can't join the server. I tried everything that the internet has said. It might be that I am banned, because I got hacked 1,5 years ago and never tried to join again.
I'm back. I just wanted to say that I did a run for both Roguelands and Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure and want to share it so maybe someone else might want to give it a try.
The TTAoDK speedrun was done at BSG Plus, 2 months ago. Here is the Rogueland Mod run. It crashed on the final hit of the secret boss, but that boss won't be needed to complete any% runs. Note: There is Roguelands & Roguelands Mini. Mini has 9 rounds per difficulty. would love to see more people give these games/mods a try. I will keep playing them from time to time so there is always an "active" runner for these games ;)
