I just recently came back to attempting speedruns of the game (PC current patch), and I've noticed a huge difference in load times when entering the haunted house. current WR has a load that's only around 5s, but my loads were anywhere from 10s up to almost 14s. Personally I think with this we should add loads removed as a timing method, so PC players are only competing against pure gameplay rather than load rng and hardware advantages.

I was just wondering if I am allowed to use the hotline in runs to be able to skip puzzles. I see no reason why it wouldn't be allowed as it is a feature in the game that does punish you for using it with a time penalty.

There has been an issue recently with moderator inactivity that I hope we'll be able to solve. There are a few reasons why we need one or two new moderators

1. The current super mod and mod have been inactive for 12 days and 1 month respectively.

2. There was a forum post made over a month ago that was completely ignored, asking about the same situation.

3. We would like to start adding in custom levels, so people will have a reason to play the levels.

4. We also need more active mods to help with the mass uploads from the community channel everyday, and I can't do that myself because I can't verify runs I submitted.

One of the people who would be most fitting for the position of super mod is MaranTheLemon. Maran is a good fit because he is widely liked by the community, and he is currently the admin of the community discord.

It has been brought to my attention that the cutscene glitch at the start can be used to completely break the old timing method.

DrPancakeFace explained better than I can at the start of his WR run

From now on all runs will be timed starting after the initial loading screen.

I just started playing this game an hour ago and while playing 1-8 I discovered if you slam through a block and pause at the same time you can restart the level with that block already broken.

This forum will be used for anyone wishing to advertise their MOTW submission for possible up votes. You need to at least have a run on the site otherwise your post will be removed.

It was brought to my attention by Jukes. We've been talking about merging the 2.1 runs and pre 2.1 runs together again, as there are currently only 4 times on pre 2.1 that haven't been beaten: Restoration, The Dark Within, The Warmind, and A Rising Tide. Out of those the only mission that we think can not be beaten is The Warmind the rest can either be tied or beaten. We are asking for your thoughts on it before we make the change or not.

Hello. I'm sure you guys are more then happy to see Destiny is having even more drama (Yeah me neither).

Well I recently made some major changes to the full-game leader board. http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/full_game

The reception for this fix was amazing, everyone loved it except this kid http://www.speedrun.com/user/xxshadowxbossxx

Since the change he has been trashing the leader boards saying we ruined them, but his main complaint was that we merged the Crota's End solo runs together instead of separating them by class. http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/full_game#Raids

As you can see under the Crota's End solo tab Shadow is now rank 10 when he use to be rank 1 under the warlock class.

http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/d2x4l Here is the link to where this whole mess started. The main reason for the change to the leader boards was that we had so many categories we had glitched out the full-game leader board (For some reason we had two Misc tabs).

If you actually decide to read all of that you may have noticed all posts that weren't by either me, or him were people saying that the leader boards are much better this way then before.

Just to make him happy we decided to put it to a vote.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11511959/r

As of writing this 100% of the people have voted that they want to keep it, but that,s not enough for him.

Then we told him if he wants to give his ideas to the community then he should join the discord, which is where almost 100% of the discussions for the game happen now, but he refused to join.

At that point I realized there was no way of coming to an agreement with him so I decided to stop the argument there before he decided to bring this issue to the main page forums (I apologize for posting here but I've run out of motivation to even try)

He then decided to post another thread

http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/b5t58

where he was essentially mocking all of out mods.

Some of the posts got deleted I'm assuming one of the other mods did, or him after realizing how rude his post was.

I again apologize for having to bring this issue to the main page forums but I'm essentially arguing with a brick wall at this point, and I just want this childish arguing to stop.

The same rules apply to this vote like they are in the death warp vote.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11511959

Alright so we have decided to end this issue with a vote. There are gonna be a few rules with voting.

1. You must be a runner of the game.
2. If you do not run the game or moderate the game you will not be allowed to vote
3. Once you vote post in THIS forum that you have voted, and say what choice you voted for.
4. If there are votes in the poll from people who don't run the game, and those votes change the results of the poll the whole decision will be nulled and no changes will be made.

I hope this will resolve the problem. Voting will close on Nov. 1.

Clever, Jukes, and I have decided to remove the SRL/Exclusive Gear category and treat it the same way as we treat the Pre 2.1 runs and made it a different version in the Solo leader boards. You will no longer see the SRL/Exclusive Gear category in the main leader boards. We also decided to change the category back to SRL Gear since the rest of the exclusive gear doesn't make any major difference to the majority of the levels aside from A guardian Rises.

We hope this change is a compromise that will be a win/win for both sides of this argument.

New movement tech has been found by Ehroar Involving the Sparrows side boost and the Titan skating.

I have recently been experimenting with finding a possible Ch.5 skip which could save around 4 minutes. I have recently discovered that on section 2 where you have to pull the levers to raise the steps, if you raise them up in the opposite direction so the closest step to you is all the way up. You then climb the stairs and jump into the archway on the and walk around the arch. I have been able to clip climb to get on top of the section 2 entrance but haven't found a way to get any closer to get into the level exit room.

We will post all challenges in this forum.

I was thinking that we should add a misc category for the SRCOTW so people can have a leader board for their challenges so people other people can see them. We wouldn't have to keep making different categories since this is for fun. we would add in a variable so you can select the challenge like for this week the variable would be #1 and next weeks challenge would be under variable 2 which would be #2 and so on. This is just an idea since no one would see the runs unless they look at the forums. what are your guys thoughts on this?

This forum will be used to direct any complaints about the page.

p.s. If you ask to have SRL category removed your comment will be deleted.

Hopefully we won't have to use this forum much.

If anybody including the the minor mods want to add a new category make a forum asking first and me and FleshCrunch will decide weather we should add it or not.Thanks in advance and hope that we can resolve the issues that we've had recently.

I was so hyped to see your run live. I can't believe that you got a deathless run during a marathon along with getting a 6:04

I was watching Jukes' full game run and it looked like he was doing overdrive tapping to the extent that it had before the SRL update?

Has this happened to anybody else? I was on sub 10:10 pace on Xbox One.
