Re: Reworking record categories (pure, standard, tas)

So what are the features against your taste? Targeting ghosts and sending dialogues to unresponsive reapers are amongst the only things impossible to do without cheating in the unmodified game, hence the second poll option of "changing categories". Features as they currently are make no sense becaus...

Re: 15 min 6 man UW [Standard] Part Two

Oh fuck I deleted the wrong vod from youtube. It's only on twitch now at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/686587362. Wanted to replace the first one we did with this one:

Re: Reworking record categories (pure, standard, tas)

My opinion: 1. Merge standard and TAS: I actually like this, because the current ruleset is terribly arbitrary. However, I expect people will complain that this basically forces people to use the "bad" stuff (e.g. targeting minipets, minimap targeting) to be competitive. First, why is minimap targe...

Re: Reworking record categories (pure, standard, tas)

Are you trying to get me to understand the point I myself made? I only included the possibility of changing the record rules to a differentiation between tool assistance to make things easier and tool assistance to enable doing things that are otherwise impossible (cheating). I myself don't care, bu...

Re: Reworking record categories (pure, standard, tas)

Just a suggestion in case people want to keep a differentiation between using tool assistance to do things faster or with less effort, compared to using tools to do things that are otherwise impossible in the game.

Cheating is what you call that in other games.

Reworking record categories (pure, standard, tas)

We have a recurring issue with tool assistance features being arbitrarily split between allowed for "standard" and "tool assisted". We should get rid of the category all together or rename the categories and make them follow strict, logical rules. My first proposition is to just abolish the "standar...

Re: 15 min 6 man UW [Standard]

The issue with that is that the Standard ruleset just doesn't follow the rule of "no things the game otherwise wouldn't allow you to do". It's completely arbitrary and the impact of the feature or the attainability of the feature without tool assistance play zero role to what's currently allowed in ...

Re: Adding NPCs to party list // rule against targetting in ways other than those provided by the game itself

Ah yes, another completely arbitrary decision to be made for a category made out of purely arbitrary choices that make no sense. Just abolish the standard ruleset all together and only have Standard (currently called pure) and TAS. It would make things SO easy and they would make SO much more sense.

Re: 15 min 6 man UW [Standard]

And about the never ending standard-category-drama: Literally nobody is forcing you to do your records in that category. If you personally feel like its an arbitrary (which it definitely is) and useless category that should not exist, it is up to you to just do PURE or TAS records - NOTHING IS STOP...

Re: 15 min 6 man UW [Standard]

Ah come on fuck the arbitrary shit rules. The sheer existence of a standard category in itself is absolutely laughable and the features deemed allowed in standard compared to those banned to tas follow no logic whatsoever. These records are based on trust and if you truly think that not having recor...
