#SPEEDRUNNERS GAME OPTIONS PATCH#

This last patch was quite literally based around speed giving Quickness/Alacrity buffs to a lot of specs. They need to either hire people who can do what they can't, or at the very least, figure out what their balancing strengths are and do that. So if all they can bring to the table is a buzzsaw and poor understanding of the class, then for heaven's sake, don't try to balance in a way that requires a surgeon's level of precision. To even make such balancing work requires the precision tweaking akin to a surgeon with a thorough understanding of the class's anatomy and they are bringing a buzzsaw to classes they don't understand. We've seen the result, is balancing this way makes things worse for most players. Just a pipe dream, a game of whack a mole that wastes development time instead of spending it on changes that will improve the experience for most players. Maybe in a game with simpler mechanics, but with how this game's combat works and the people they have to do it? (sure seems like not many people) It's just not realistic to balance that way. I've been mulling this issue over reading different takes on it and I think this point cuts through to the heart of it. There is absolutely no chance you will ever balance a healthy variety of comps to have the exact same theoretical dps with the exact same likelihood of achieving said dps, therefore every fight will always have one perfect comp that every world record attempt must use. If a stacking comp would result in even 100 dps more than any other comp you have no choice but to run it if you intend to set a world record. Conversely, in speedrun play you must run the composition that achieves the highest theoretical dps, even if achieving that is a long shot. In standard play you are generally expected to run builds that reliably clear the content in a timely manner, thus the meta defining builds for standard play will be the easiest builds, not the ones with the highest theoretical dps. There is zero connection between world record attempts where even a 0.01 second time saving can be the difference between getting the record and not getting it and normal play where you only strictly need to be averaging 10k dps per player to win.

Speedrunners on the other hand are keeping games alive and often times focus on unkown titles or series of past eras. Publishers who usually are sensitive about bugs, glitches and general errors in their program codes are not patching out some of these errors when they are vital to speedrunners. From built-in timers to game modes games begin to incorporate methods and techniques of speedrunning. Even some games themselves acknowledge the speedrunning community. With the ability of streaming speedrunning becomes more and more popular. Speedrunning as an activity in the gaming community is relatively new. Speedrunners must have a passion for their games which is driven by a willingness to become part of the game itself. RNG (short for random number generator) might push a runner to new limits or kill a run entirely. Especially when a certain part of a game is unpredictable.

He or she must have a back-up plan in case something goes wrong. In order to beat world records or personal bests the runner has to know the game by heart. Speedrunning is the art of playing a video game as fast as possible. Speedrunning – beating a game as fast as possible
