[OFFICIAL] Dullahan Speedrun Team Registration
This thread is reserved for team registration for the Dullahan Speedrun Tournament. If you want to discuss about the tournament itself, please post in the
Official 2017 Vindictus Halloween Party thread.
To register for this event, follow these steps in order (if you already have your Twitch channel setup, skip to Step 5):
- Download a streaming app such as OBS, Xsplit, etc.
- Under “Settings” in OBS, choose “Stream” and enter your stream key from Twitch. Select Twitch as your service. Be sure the server you select is the closest to your location. I'm not sure where the settings are for XSplit, but I'm sure it's very similar.
- Set the bitrate at a level that is appropriate for your Internet connection under “Output.” The bitrate should be around 2000 to 3000 mbps.
- Under “Video,” set the output resolution to “1280x720”
- Download LiveSplit and set a hotkey to Start/Stop the timer. My recommendation would be to use either the F1, F4, or CapsLock button.
- Create a scene that capture Vindictus and LiveSplit (please no webcams, background music, alerts, or chat boxes for this event). My recommendation would be to place the LiveSplit timer somewhere where there is empty space. An example in this UI setup would be between the Quickslot bar and the bottom of the Chat box.
- Submit a Twitch highlight of yourself fighting Dullahan with LiveSplit, starting the timer when Dullahan’s HP bar appears and stopping the timer when Dullahan’s HP bar reaches 0.
- Are you interested in participating? Let one of the streamers who submitted their highlights know that you are interested in joining their team.
- Streamers, edit your submission post to include the other teammates’ IGNs and character classes. (See below for an example submission). Please review the rules for the tournament before finalizing your teams.
The deadline to register your team for the tournament is as follows:
East: Saturday, 10/14/2017 @ 12:00AM EST
Pacific: Friday, 10/13/2017 @ 9:00PM EST
Europe: Saturday,10/14/2017 @ 6:00AM EST
Australia: Saturday, 10/14/2017 @ 2:00PM EST
Four players must be in the submission in order for the team to be considered for the tournament. Incomplete teams will not be allowed to participate.

Yep! You got everything correct except a link to your Twitch highlight. Just show yourself fighting Dullahan with LiveSplit, and your team's good to go!
Edited hope now its perfect +yes
Almost perfect. You linked your channel (which is fine since it's helps me out) but not the highlight itself. Highlights can be made by going into your Past Broadcast page for your channel, clicking the down arrow that says "More," and selecting "Create Highlight." Hope that helps.

I can heal and shoot laser!
Yay! More teams! Like I said for Cutee, if you can confirm that you can stream your run on Twitch by linking a highlight with LiveSplit, that will help me a lot! Thanks!

GL beating that team anyone who applies! lol
Also Nom can you host? and accept this evie as tribute?
No, that's not how it works.
"Note: The submission of your full run is not what will be used for the actual event. This is to prove that you can stream the run, and this helps me set up your team's run along with other players in real time (or with the Twitch delay xD). Here’s an example of what I’m going for except the timer will be exclusive to each team's run: A Link to the Past 4-Player Speedrun"
"Be sure that if you are going to stream your team’s run that you will be able to attend the party. Otherwise, your team will be disqualified. The more teams we have, the more exciting this event will be!"
"The order for which team goes when will be randomized. I will post the order shortly after the cutoff time for team registration so your team can plan. The races will take place from 6:00PM to however long it takes depending on how many teams we have. Four teams will run at the same time. Be sure all team members are ready to go. If a member of your party is missing when your team is up for the run, the team will have to do the speedrun with less players, which will put the group at a significant disadvantage."
Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.
What Mainichi quoted is correct. Basically, the highlight is not what is going to be shown on stream. It is for me to know that you are capable of streaming on the 21st when it is time for your team to compete. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Regarding the prizes for Dullahan, I have reached out to Saygo. If push comes to shove, we can either have prizes provided that Saygo responds, do this event for fun (no prizes) or don't do it at all. I would prefer the first option with option 2 as a back-up, but we'll see how many teams we have by the end of this week. If we have only two teams, then I can just feature the two teams separately on stream. Spread the word in-game too since most players don't read the forums apparently. xD
Excellent! The timer can be bigger, but that's exactly what we're going for. Your team is now officially registered for the event! Good luck on Oct. 21st.
Thanks a bunch, will keep in mind the timer scale +yes hopefully there will be more teams though

Please note that the majority of Aus has garbage internet, us included (0.8 Mbps). So there is no way we can match a "2000 to 3000" bit-rate. We are trying to work out something better for the actual day but no guarantees.
