official Leaderboards for Mount Races and Adventures on Speedrun.com

[ziozu.3514]

Hi,

This is for everyone who likes to go fast, like in the Griffon, Rollerbeetle and Mount Races, aswell as the Adventures.

Are u annoyed of only being able to compare your times with your friendlist and/or u want to know how others can be so much faster. Or do u think its unfair that people cheat or get an unfair advantage because of lags, but still get on the leaderboard with it. Or u don’t like that there are people who kinda sprint into the start.

On

www.speedrun.com/gw2/

(in the Misc Slot u will find the Categorys

·         Griffon Races

·         Rollerbeetle + other Mount Races

·         Adventure Races

·         Special Event Races and Adventures)

is finaly a Leaderboard for Mount Races and Adventure Races for those who like Cold Starts or those who like to try hard and do Warm starts. This Leaderboards will only be filled with verified Runs, which means, there will be no chance for cheating.

Everyone can look up those Runs, to compare with friends/others, to learn different strats or just to watch nice and interesting runs. This is the best place to show everyone what you are capable of.

It is for Try Hards, aswell as for Casual Racer. There are clarified Rules, so there will be a fair competition and open Leaderboards for everyone.

I wish u all good runs and a lot of fun racing.
