creep and gosho , nice runs !!

now that you have degyptianez it would be a shame not to try cliffez and goldbhop

david, xj is open submit there too :D

remove the tech surfs and this will be the best speed map of 2024
very good atmosphere , design and gameplay (if we exclude those surfs ofc xd)

@rawe what map u got?

Is it possible to add section for jumpstats demos? (Longjump, Countjump etc. etc.)

I think 1v1 KZ and RTV timeout are great functions.

But I'm not exactly sure about the new Skill Rating.
There are a few ways to compare skill imo

1. Amount of WR demos (XJ and Cosy style)
Pros: You showcase who's dedicated.
Cons: Not a real representation of skill. Also top5 will depend on map pool - if from a thousand maps 900 are blocktime with special techniques (jump bug, tech shortcuts etc.) then expect Cupe / Shooting-star / Xsi to be permanently in the Top 5. On the other hand if those 90% of maps are speed/bhop maps , then they'll probably never even get there (due to their playstyle).
So to make this way of comparing skill work , you have to balance map types in map pool.
And also , when most maps get optimized , newer players will be demotivated to even try , because they'll probably never get a WR until they get somewhat closer to that skill level. (takes years)
Which will bring me to:

2. KZ-Rush points system.
Pros: Allows demo submission of non-WR runs , turning maps into a ranklist.
(for example if you have a 1:28.50 demo on goldbhop , you'll be at Rank 2 for that map , whereas in XJ you'll be ranked nowhere.
Rewards a player for nochecking maps in public server.
Cons: Currently unbalanced because of:
I. 100aa - it should be a separate top, because 100aa is different movement. A separate points system specifically for 100aa, and whichever is higher - appears on your profile. (if you have 12k on 100aa and 5k on 10aa - your VIP level will be for 12k a.k.a VIP4)
II. Difficult maps - it should be reworked imo , because passing with checkpoints hfr_hb_toffifee gives +1 XP , and that takes a lot more skill than nochecking kz_shrubhop_ez (+16 XP). What I suggest is adding a multiplier based on map difficulty. The map I mentioned is the 9th difficulty - Death. So passing it with checkpoints should give 9 XP. While nochecking it should give 9*16 = 144 XP.

3. Playing in real time (cups, duels etc.)
Pros: Shows truly how consistent your skill is.
Cons: Cannot push it to the limit like in demos due to the random nature of the game (fog1/fog2 coinflip).



Can you share how exactly the new Skill Rating is all calculated? Then we will be able to give more decent feedback.


Btw , since 100aa is available on all servers , I suggest turning the only 100aa server into Cosy speed maps server. If you need help with that write me a message, and we'll see what we can do.

nice maps

It's just mercy from tasi that any of you even get to have a WR. And therefore you should be forever grateful for being both mogged and spared annihilation from the king of bunnyhopping Tasi!

and this was p0ker's idea , I don't take credit for it :D

one of the biggest punishments for a cheater can be having to watch all of tasi's demos in 1 sitting (3+ days of kz content)

new map is very nice gj

@vespeR , XJ admins said outside is clean and he's a talent! They also said that having 90% x 290 prestrafes consistently is possible from a human , and that I should just get better.
Truly one of the players of all time!

@vespeR , i think he meant they can chose between 1 and 2 fog.

Pepi went from calling cheaters out , to asking them for help when targeting a player.
Cringe

I was about to say what pepi just said :D

"I mean if you are not trolling"
-Biggest troll in KZ currently

@Kpoluk , I sent you a message.

About nonsteam - I think just allow it. Its true that people have a thousand accounts already due to the game being less than 1 eur on sales. And people cheat on their mains without getting caught too , and pollute the server and demo record lists with cheated runs. (Won't give examples to prevent witchhunting , but all active players know who I'm talking about).

Also who is David38? Any aliases? Never heard of this player before.
