Re: 2021 Category discussion and process to get community feedback

b.) It is crazy to me how people can at the same time complain about the ambiguity of Standard and then ask for a new category that needs to define what a "glitch" is. Obstructing arrows? Right wall blocking? Speedboost balling? Glitchspotting melees? That is a rabbit hole nobody will ever leave ag...

Re: 2021 Category discussion and process to get community feedback

1. I don't oppose the existence of a "standard" category, but if it exists, it must be called TAS. Anything that involves usage of tools is inherently tool assisted. The third category that includes things that could not be done without hacking will have to be named differently with a name reflectin...

Re: second-based records

Trust Trust is a great thing, but that does not mean we should be naive. There is a reason we currently require full video coverage for PURE and standard records. So my suggestion would be to incorporate some kind of Hash validation values into toolbox that can be printed out alongside the instance...

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

With the first option, TAS wouldn't restrict anything. With the second option of a rework where the rules make sense, TAS would allow every tool usage that could be replicated by frame optimizing the game.

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

That is the case for virtually every single popular game on speedrun.com. I don't know what more to tell you but is exactly the case. https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnredblue https://www.speedrun.com/sm64 https://www.speedrun.com/oot Scroll down to the category and then click on rules. Especially for of...

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

But what if it allows you to see Griffs health to quick target and heal them. I wonder if we should allow this tool assistance in a category not called tool assisted or if we should count it as tool assistance. It's a hard decision and can't make sense unfortunately. If only there was a way to decid...

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

Of course you can, and these are not arbitrary decisions. The whole point of separating Standard from TAS was to separate quality of life features most players enjoy playing with from an indiscriminate 3rd party tool free for all. What those 3rd party QOL features are was a subject of long debate w...

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 becau...
