    Hello together,
    as the cretor of this thread I have acutally realized that I totally underrated the efford some players put into the game to achieve these speed run results and the competition some of you have within the speed run "functionality". Therefor I totally agree now, that my proposed idea will destroy the game experience of speedruns.
    Therefore I will try to turn the discussion back in the direction my idea was based on.
    I, as a player without a "group", am dependent on other players who are willing to play 2 or 4 Player maps. And if I open the game and look for expert game lobbies to play in, I only find RPVE, Guns of Lyr and Dwarven Riddle.
    In my opinion the reason for this is that RPVE can be won without any knowledge and for Dwarven Riddle and Guns of Lyr some 100% working strategies are existing, so that the winrate of these expert maps are nearly 100% if you have at least 1 Player in the team who knows what to do.
    Even if it was formulated differently my main purpose of this proposal was to make working strategies (not best speedrun strategies) for expert maps easier accessable so that more players dare to play these maps. Especially if they are not premade and rely on communicting by chat. For my feeling, Kubiks view on this is "look at youtube, you find all necessary information there" but I think the number of open expert lobbies show, that this is not enough to resolve the problem I described. (Side comment: Another disadvantage of youtube is, that you only see the view of the video recorder. But sometimes you are intersted in whats happening on other positions of the map, for example another players position.)
     
    Therefore I like to propose a slightly adjusted request:
    Is it possible to show a working expert replay (maybe replays which have been voluntarily shared by players or maybe random replays  which are significantly slower than the speedrun results) in the lobby creating screen? (see Screenshot)
    The only requirement these replays should fulfill is, that they have been recorded with the proposed numer of players for the map and all players have survived until the end.
    With this kind of feature I think that even players who dont have an own group to develop strategies can organize each other. "Hey lets play it the way as it is shown in the actual replay" and they have a chance to do so and they dont need to worry that they ruin the experience of others due to their lack of strategy knowledge.
    I surely would favor that these "examplary replays" change once a month or a week, so that players can follow different strategies.
    I am highly interested about your opinions on this Idea

    Hi Kubik,
    the appearence is not important, the functionality is the key.
    I think, we will find voluntaries who will share some replays and I will try to set a good example.
    Here is my "King of Giants Expert replay" i just played 5 min ago.
    The other Players, Zelman21, YczachaY and IronManOne agreed to share it.

    Hello together,
    today I spend some time looking at the PvE Rankings. And i was very suprised/impressed about some teams which were able to finish maps within only a few minutes.
    It would be very interesting to watch the replays of these games. Therefor I like to request a feature adding the game replays to the Ranking page, so that everyone can watch how the impressive Map times have been achieved.
    It would be nice if this feature can be added.
    Best Regards Urmel
