High Score on Daily Climb

[elron]

I just had to say that you gotta love the friendless c*** who hacks the high score board for the daily climb every f***ing day. I hope he realizes what a piece of s*** he is and what a loser he comes across as to have to hack something so he can be first without any skills in games or life. He needs a tattoo that says "I'm a loser" across his forehead.

Good. That's off my chest now. Love this game!!

People still care about public high scores? Bruh, leave those to the arcade cabinets.

To quote a certain Klingon, "if winning doesnt matter, why keep score?".

Im with the OP tbh. I play most daily climbs not least since you do get interesting runs in that mode most of the time but also because its nice to see how your run compared to other people. The fact that you have no way of knowing who just hacked their run devalues the whole concept of that mode. Obviously the people posting scores in the millions are cheating, but are some people being more subtle about it? Ive had near perfect runs where I have killed every elite and boss without taking damage and won the majority of my encounters in one or two turns and yet have never reached a score over 2000. Oh well, its a fun mode but its a shame the leaderboard is rendered irrelevant.

For one, I still have to see a single player board without hacked scores

Then, there is a reason the StS community doesn`t care about Score:
in this kind of RNG games, the Score is just a tally of how lucky your run was

Ultimately, look at how the score is calculated

There`s a reason why you never went over 2k
and that`s because "gaining points" has nothing to do with "playing well", you just need to do a bunch of arbitrary crap

the leaderboard is irrelevant.
