Speedrun Verification and Integrity is compromised
Misuto posted a topic in [Don't Starve] General Discussion
So two things right off the bat, The vast majority of the players do not care in the slightest for speedruns of Don't Starve. That is a perfectly valid opinion to have and this is definitely not the post for you. Second, this post will contain a link to a YouTube video of a speedrun, if you aren't interested in that feel encouraged to not check the links, as these videos are not being posted for the sake of advertising but because they needed to be for the speedrun site. Also note, that the primary video that we will be talking about is a seeded speedrun, which is currently disallowed via the category rules. If anyone is interested in a real random speedrun then I can post a comment linking to it later. So here I discuss on speedrun.com the problems that are currently facing the leaderboards. The tl;dr version is this, Based on the current requirements for recording a speedrun, it is impossible to confirm whether or not a player has seeded his or her run. How can we change the recording requirements or perhaps even mod the game in order to force a truly random world to be created? (Also posted on reddit) -
DragonFly Speedrun - Losing My Mind
Splits posted a topic in [Don't Starve Together] General Discussion
I am so annoyed i have many failed attempts of the dragonfly speedrun and i always die at the final fight. In every video i've seen, they use the wall strategy and it works perfectly! But idk why in every run i do df ends up spawning the lavaes on the wrong side of the wall !! This is so annoying cuz this means that most of the time i just die 30 mns into the run on the last phase of the dfly So i'm looking for a way to make her NOT do that because im litterally going crazy. Video of the dfly spawning the lavaes on the wrong side : -
Recently on stream, I destroyed the current world record for Best Ending Vanilla. We collected all 4 things and escaped in under 10 minutes. This run is mostly a dead run as there are only two runners (including myself) who sometimes check back in on this category. 9:42.56 World Record Run In light of this run, I feel like we need some rule changes. Presently, only Wilson runs can be submitted. However, in this run we never craft, we never eat, we never go insane, and we get hit once for trivial damage. Basically, character choice (in vanilla) does not matter. I feel like if it were opened up to any character more people would try. Also, given the insane luck needed for this, I really feel like some kind of multiple no reset run category should be the main run for DS. Rather than resetting and hoping for a god tier lucky world, it'd require consistently playing well and mitigate some of the luck. So something like 3 or more world hops in a single save file.That would also make splits more useful, a split for each full world hop rather than each thing. What, if any, rule changes or category additions would make this a more popular speedrun game for you to watch or run?

Hello! So, I'm having a hard time with Tallbirds at the moment... When they stop chasing you, tallbird will go back to their nest... in a straight line. The only way I found of getting rid of a chasing tallbird ( considering I don't want to kill it ) is to enter a path with a nice angle so it'll get stuck on the ledge. On my last attempt this failed and I had to drag the tallbirds down an island and they eventually gave up. Problem is, they are stuck there. Since they are trying to get to their nest in a straight line and the path between island is a diagonal, they keep moon walking on the ledge. I tried to get close to them, they do that taurus thing, but they turn around and keep moon walking. If I attack them to get them to follow me, they'll kill my baby bird and of course, you all know how unfortunate that would be. 1. Am I doing something wrong? 2. Considering the tallbirds don't respawn, shouldn't they make sure they don't leave their island at least? 3. Could they change their AI so they can get back to their nest from everywhere?

Hey! I enjoyed playing this game so much that I made my first speedrun ever for any game. This game is great and I hope people enjoy watching my speedrun as much as I enjoyed making it. It did get me thinking though, Klei, any possibility of adding a level timer? I think that a leader board of fastest times would be awesome. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks!
