Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.
well in that case you have a lot of rank deleting infront of you. also if you really do it. everyone will keep their skips secret. we will see a decrease of rank1 videos because they are too afraid that the rank is getting deleted
come on @heinrich5991 i know you only wnated to do the right thing but. you have to admit that you dont really play in a high league. so you might not fully understand what it means to get a successfull tryhard deleted
you cant just go ahead and fix every map, its often hard to tell whether a rank got cheated or not, in this case it was obvious and since it skipped like 90% of the map, i dont think its a bad decision
@Im 'corneum that's completely true. perhaps we have to make it clearer that you should report large skips and that ranks with them will be removed (?)
I hate dont like these rules who mod said no need fix this map , no one will spend time to skip it and when they cheat they delete rank and fix the map
To give my 2 cents on the verification 9.0 bug/skip, since the map has been around for such a long time (it's both solo and oldschool), things like this should never be changed or edited later down the road
The skip was difficult to pull off and should be respected imo, it doesn't matter if it breaks the top5 or not
18:45
It's disrespectful to change a map without the mapper's permission and to everyone who as already finished on it, especially since it's been out for so long
I still stand by what I said about it only being possible for a few days after release, after the map has been out for x amount of time I feel like it's wrong to change it
It's another aspect of the game for some people really - when maple and I used to speedrun often we would spend lots of time looking for any possible skips
I'd like to say after ~2 weeks a map shouldn't be changed for any reason, UNLESS it's a start line skip or an unfair skip intentionally placed by the mapper, as learath said
19:07
And I believe that oldschool maps shouldn't be changed for any reason period
@Im 'corneum this goes both ways.. you speedrun a map the normal way expecting it to be "done" and then your perfect run gets beaten by a skip cheating everything
draw the shortest line from the start line to the end line without going out of bounds, how much percent of that line is actually a significant skip? the parts it skips could take 20 seconds but still take half the map
19:33
I'd really prefer to say what we deem significant at that point
I feel like there should be a line to decide whether a not a map is oldschool as well - I think a good bit (if not all) of the ddmax server is basically oldschool at this point
i think this skipping is just part of the game cause it let you think out of the box. before fixing those skips talk to players with a lot of experience cause i don't think they will like it.
20:05
and it think is that you can't fix the bugs cause it will fuck up the top5. you never know when someone used it or not, mappers should just know about it and prevent people cheating on their maps. the cheat can be fixed after certain time, but if you say the period. nobody is planning to cheat on it till that time has passed. but that is still the best option i guess
but there are almost 300 skips in all kind of maps. skips most of the community doesn't even know about. So that makes it unfair if you fix only 100 maps, because you don't know them
@jao You compared skips to bugs saying that they're a part of the game we shouldn't keep.. but I have a hunch a good portion of the community would prefer that they stay
20:42
There's such a small percentage of people discussing it right here - I think a broader scope would be helpful
The skip of @RonIn is just very good, it would be a waste to remove this. You know as a mapper that when you make such an open map, that there is a possibility that they skip parts. So better reject those then at the testing. And leave all maps like this.
Personally as a mapper, I'd find it fun/interesting to see which ways players could break and twist my map, to get the best rank - I wouldnt want to fix it
20:50
Mapper's choice is fine, but I still think there should be a statute of limitations
@deen we got a situation here, you don't have to read it but I / we were wondering what you thought about legit skips, even if that means you skip 80% of a map. Because there are now some people who want to fix all those maps (except old school). But there is also a part of the community who thinks it is a part of how ddrace works.
but bugs and even glitches in the code are very nice for brain maps (Justice1+2 for example)
And playing maps normal is boring, find creative ways and use ur brain is way more funny
