I saw that new categories for the DLC were added (and a run is up, which is cool :) ). But I was waiting to see if any rules for when the timer is supposed to start/stop was going to be added. I know you guys are busy so when you get a chance, if the timer start and stops could be specified, I'd really appreciate it. :) It was a bit hard for me to tell on the run that's up because he didn't have a timer at all and the time was longer than the time in his title. >.<;;

Also, is there any way we could have an Absolute Zero category? I read the other threads and Heinki said that it would doable since you're making a challenge and all with "AZ = No takedowns, No augmentations, No items, 100% Ghost, GMDE". I have a few questions about that though if it was added as a category (like the London mission, that alarm doesn't count right? And using the vents with Koller, you technically use the jump aug since it's before your reset... And running to the chopper in Dubai....).

I know you guys want to keep the amount of categories down and all which I definitely understand but I looked at DX:HR and, while it seems a bit more popular than this game (sadly :3 ), I think it would be neat to have AZ in this game since it was in HR.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and any replies. :)

Hey everyone. I'm kinda new to the whole speed running thing and was a little confused on a few things. If I could get them cleared up, that would be really helpful. :)

I looked at the difficulty settings on the submitted runs and it seems like it doesn't really matter if you pick easy (tell me a story) or harder options. I did see the comments in a thread talking about that a little but I just want to verify that.

I also wanted to check on NG+. It looks like almost all the submitted runs are new but there is one that says in the description it's a NG+. Unfortunately, I can't see the twitch vid to check. Is it okay to use a NG+? I thought it wouldn't be allowed but was thrown off by the submitted one.

Thanks in advance for the info :) Again, I'm really new to all this and really appreciate anyone taking the time to reply. :3
