Continuing this mini thread series, the final non-WR time of the original Boring 4 is in the single digits and is on its way out! Originally, one of the stronger times with just 1.2 and no new tricks, Runway Agent 0:22 was a respectable, though still common WR. Today and over the last few years, it's become one of the easiest to achieve, but has been lagging behind the others.
2.X and a more widespread understanding of how to use the grenades has significantly increased the number of ties, and we're just 9 away from Runway Agent 0:23 becoming pointless, killing off one of the oldest times in Elite history, as well as removing a ton of points from both dinosaurs and newbies. I predict this happens within a few months from now, though following the awareness thread for Bunker 1 Agent, a surge in activity could speed things up even more.
Here's a quick list of capable and/or active players without Runway Agent 0:22:
-Øyvind
-Axel Z
-Pettit
-Silverlind
-Madoka
-Split
-Hitek
-Mellis
-Door
-Alka
-KevinDDR
-Bangen
-Dusky
-Cinicola
-Bozon
-Rodolfo
-Sternis
-Twiii
-Emptybox
And many more! Surely, at least 9 more players can get 0:22.
If you do not already have the WR and are interested in obtaining it, read
this excellent post on how to juggle the grenades. I also recommend watching the following runs to demonstrate how easy the pace is:
Fanny,
Sammy,
Lark,
Quirky.
Want another incentive? There is a mass total of
67 players who have 0:23 as their only points! That's nearly a fifth of all players who have any points at all! Wouldn't it be nice to do a major clean-up of that? Those players, some of whom you may recognize, are as follows:
Aaron Ashley, Aaron L'Hirondelle, AJ Black, Alex Haitz, Alex Roberts, Alex Walfrand, Andrea Egloff, Carter Larson, Charlie Morgan, Christoph Kohlbach, Claude Boucher, Cory Francis, Curtis Jackson, Daniel J Graber, Daniel Kabbaz, David Reavis, Devon Barnette, Faris Ahmad, Jack Archer, James Plunkett, Jameson Blade, Jason Cumming, Jasper Webb, JD Milley, Jean-François Dubreuil, Jim Desmond, Jim Söderlund, Joe Bernier, Joe Grimes, Johan Moulard, John Heaney, Josh Hainsel, Josh Schwarz, Justin Thomas, Justin Webb, Karsten Niederer, Kevin Johnson, Kevin V, Kieran Clinch, Kye Riddell, Marc-Andre Boileau, Marcus Dolejsi, Markus Baraa, Mateusz Johanik, Matt A., Matthew Solly, Michael Gill, Michael Nielsen, Mike Mckelvey, Pawel Szopinski, Philippe Leclerc, Robert Sizemore, Rochus Neeleman, Roger Zylstra, Sam Tyler, Scott Brown, Shawn Jones, Spencer Bullas, Spencer Salomons, Stefano Amodei, Terry Davies, Thomas Eliot, Thomas Finney, Tony Norman, Tyler Hankins, Tyler Miller, Vasilis Paraskevopoulos
Once the final of the original Boring 4 non-WRs goes down, new players will be more required than ever to really push themselves to score points, whether it be with starting on a slightly more difficult level, or grinding for 0:53/0:22/0:17/0:16 right out of the gate. An excellent boost in relevancy with every single point, as well as pushing the image of
elite.
If those who do not have 0:22 are interested in achieving the WR and need some help, please ask the community for some tips and critiques!
