Public Gauntlet

Risk of Resources hosts a competitive event most weeks where participants attempt to complete the same seeded run with a specific character loadout in the least amount of time. In addition to the action on stream, scores can be seen on our website. This is integrated into a lobby system, hooked up to the game and updated in realtime.

Additionally, to ensure fairness between players, minor gameplay changes are in effect.

The most extensive, yet least noticeable are a multitude of changes to the seeding (i.e. random number generator) system. While the methods used in the base game are generally sound, there are a large number of edge cases that can cause outcomes to diverge based on prior actions. However, in most all cases identical probability has been maintained.

More significantly, in order to support a variety of skill levels and encourage risk-taking, death is no longer permanent. Instead, a penalty will be applied to the player's current time (score only) and they will be revived shortly after. Information on scoring can also be found here.

Other minor tweaks include reduced requirements to enter the final boss arena due to overreliance on equipment otherwise. Generally, the use of lunar tiered items is also not allowed. Time does not pause in hidden realms, and certain exploits have been fixed.
