Pritstift

There was also a small update for behind enemy lines in the last days from my side:-). Still hunting to get below 12 min again.

I think the decks shown are the decks Irysunna used for the speedruns of him and his team? The 11.29 of Mo was done without the use of stampede bug.

I really dont know what is wrong with you xD. Your argumentation is illogical and a bit childish. But i think we cant change this and we have tp accept players like you. I just want to add one more point. It is right that we had a talk to Kubik - we were asking him if it is possible that somebody gave OUR replays to a member of your team because we were wondering that you are able to do similar times shortly after we did. Kubik clarified that this was not happening. So you know what is the difference? We accepted that you found a similar/maybe same tactic for new guns of lyr speedrun and we not started to flame you in the way you are doing right now. So we started to improve it again and again. You should also think about that there are maybe different ways to do it faster. So how you want to know that we have the same tactic like you? This is just speculation - also from our side. As soon as we have improved the time again and we think this is the maximum we can do - we will share it to the community. Maybe you can use this time to accept that there is/was a fair competition.

Asgard57 it is nice that you are willing to write something in this forum but it should make sence. Lets have a closer look at the history: 1) From October 2013-2019 the record for guns of lyr was 06.48 min. 2) The first team that was able to beat 06.48 was our team and not YOUR team. Btw we used a new tactic that was developed by ourself. For sure we are sorry for this. 3) The first team that was below 6min was our team and not your team. The first team that was below 5 min was our team and not your team. @MephistoRoss@Kubik@MrXLink - is it possible that you can show a time list for guns of lyr speedruns for which both teams were involed? Team "Germany" including Pritstift, Treim, Lebovin, Tomate, Wanky, BehaaaveBaby (replay times): 23.01.2019: 06.41 - beat old record - YES!!! 24.01.2019: 06.20 - improvement 25.01.2019: 06.10 - improvement 25.01.2019: 05.59 - first time below 6 min - YES!!! 26.01.2019: 05.49 - improvement 26.01.2019: 05.30 - improvement 26.01.2019: 05.29 - improvement 26.01.2016: 05.12 - improvement 01.02.2019: 05.04 - improvement 01.02.2019: 04.58 - first time below 5 min - YES!!! XX:XX:2019: 04:XX - we will see (also without your replay) So please stop to flame here. The Devs (no Germans) can also confirm this. You can write something here but stop to lie and to write things that are not true. You have to accept that there are also other goood players that are able to compete with you. BTW this players are not just Germans. I think for you and your team it is a new experience that there is a team that is able to beat you also in 4player maps. Do you know how we call this in Germany? COMPETITION. BTW we also able to play all other 4player maps fast. We just need the time for it. I want to clearly point out for all of my teammates that we never used any cheats or even server hacks or sth. like this. Our times are the result of good ideas hard training and skilled players. I am sorry that the RUSSIAN speedruners cant accept this. It is also not ok that you try to involve the developers of Skylords Reborn in this. The whole team never would give out replays of other teams. To finish this : It seems like that you and your team are just sore losers.

I think it is time to update the all time Rankings again :-) ? In January new all time records were created - old records were beaten - competition is going on. I think this is really good after a long long time without any speedruns. I know there are still some small problems with ingame time. But i dont think this is a big problem because the showed times in the rankings are slightly slower (and not faster) compared to the time of the recorded replay?!

I cant agree in this point. Most of our tactis were developed by ourself - we did not create just simple copies of existing tactics. We developed tactics on a higher Level - we invested a lot of time and trained for this a lot. If you share all the tactics to the community everybody will simple copy it . I think for speedrunning you should start to understand the mechanics of every single map by yourself. In this way you may can create better tactics and you will also be able to compete against the existing speedrunning teams. If you know a good strategy for a pve map you can repeat it again and again until it is nearly perfect. As a consequence of this the situation is much different compared to PVP. In PVP every match can be different - so in my opinion it is no problem to share tactics here . Depending from the single situation in PVP you can decide which tactic or card combo you may like to use in the match. Also showing the deck can be critical for the Top 3 rankings. Just one different card can make the difference here. It is not always possible to hide a strategy by adding stupid cards in it - for some speedrun decks i am using every single card because it is mandatory. If you understand the mechanics of a speedrun and the map an experienced player can read the strategy the other team may used just by checking just the deck. I can say this from my own experience - lot of tactics were copied from me and my team mates in this simple way. You also can recognize this right now - if we would show our new decks for guns of lyr speedrun everybody would get a good idea how we are able to finish this map so fast. Motivated players should better reflect for themself how this map may can be done faster and they should invest the same time to train possible tactics.

I have the same opinion like Kubik has. I understand that you are interested to see the replays and to see what we are doing but we trained lot of hours for this and so we need to keep up some secrets. But if you may need some advice how to play a Expert Map fast you can contact me. In future i am also willing to share some replays to the BF community. Still need to play it perfect in my opinion. For 2 and 4player maps it is the decision of the whole team not just one person. I think when you have a basic understanding of the maps and a feeling how a speedruns works you can work out some crazy tactics with your own team. If you just want to watch be patient until we or some other players will reveal some replays to the BF community.

We will share for sure.

We will respect what you are doing and that they dont want to share the replay. But i have to mention - this rpve and not expert pve maps - so dont share replays makes less sence for me here. Every month you may have to use a different tactic. Some principles will be similar but really secret?! Treim shared a lot of replays to the community in the last years and he still is most time in front for rpve. For my part i am planning also to show my/our special tactics for pve one and two player maps :-) Just need time to play it in the best way that it is ok for a replay to share.

First try late that evening - 1Player LVL 10 MOTM - 23.07. For sure much room for improvement:-). Improved time to 22.09.

Hello Mephisto, if you want you can add this new solo speedrun of titans to your list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaCIwuObrr8 Thx to RadicalX for posting the replay on YouTube.

Good to hear that we will have rankings back soon. I still will support the speedrun scene but i think i will mainly focus to improve one player maps and rpve motm. Two player and four player maps are mainly based on a strategy with feeding. I recognized that strategies that include mainly feeding are boring for me and less fun. Its more fun to try some fast tactics without feeding on 2 and 4-player maps. So every player has a specific task/strategy and you need to play much more efficient. Also there will be more different ways to finish the maps fast. But until now to get the fastest times in 2player/4player rankings - feeding is required. Would be nice to have a separate list with times that were performed without the use of decomposer (for sure amii monu and enlightenment could be also a criteria). Instead of just seeing the deck every player has used it could be also interesting to see the timings of the players e.g. time required to get T2/T3/T4. This may could revive the pve speedrun competition for existing maps.

Some of my favourites: T1: Nomad Frost Mage Forsaken Windweavers T2: Shadow Phoenix Fire Stalker Shadow Mage T3: Ashbone Pyro Magma Hurler Cultist Master T4: Batariel Bloodhorn Giant Wyrm Fire Dragon Overlord

If this is fixed in the way you are suggest MaranV then wall hops will be impossible for pve speedruns. Would be nice still to use it for pve wall / gate hops in the way it is. But for sure i understand the general balance problem for pvp.

It is 11.58 now - you have to check Treim :-). I am finished now with this map ^^ Will try some other maps to improve.

Hello MephistoRoss, in the last days i was able to finish Behind Enemy Lines Expert a bit faster than you in past. Time is 12:16. Is it possible to count this run time for all-time rankings? For now i dont want to share the replay because i want to keep up the "real" competition for this map. All i can offer are the following two screenshots (see attached). Treim also checked the replay and can confirm that this was a valid and complete run. What do you think about this?

For Slavemaster the time was 11.52 for Treim and me. for ocean speedrun i was "undefeated" - fastest time i have in my replaylist is 15.44 - same for oracle - fastest time i have in my list is 19.09 (may close to the end of the game there is the chance that i improved this times).
