Ranks and Mechanics changes

Hey everyone,

Starting today, all mechanics have been given a new status which will either be "Reproducible", "Nerfed" or "Exploit". With this change, our rank calculations now include records that use nerfed mechanics. This means that so long as you do not use mechanics we deem to be exploits, you will retain your rank and points, even if that mechanic gets nerfed.

We are also going to begin allowing you to submit kills that use exploits, so each category will have a "for fun/any%" section which shows the absolute fastest, most game breaking way to kill a boss! To clarify, these kills using exploits will not be ranked and will be displayed differently.

We also know that some kills have not been submitted because of the previous restrictions, however we are now accepting submissions for any old kills you have uploaded! Just please mark them with the correct nerfed mechanics/exploits when submitting. If you want the date changed on your submission to reflect the achieved date, please note that we will only adjust it to match the YouTube/Twitch upload date. Leave a note in your submission or open a ticket in #⁠mod-mail to let us know about this request.

We know you might have some thoughts about this and we will be replying in #⁠discussion to answer any questions or make some clarifications about the update.

We expect the powercreep of the Combat Beta to overtake some of the older, reinstated submissions, and the Leaderboards to naturally correct themselves (showing more reproducible records) in due course. However, for now, this is likely going to be a much different leaderboard to what you have come to know!

Many thanks,

PvM Records team
