I have a complaint about the way DROD scores are recorded which I would like to see fixed if possible.
My problem is in inadvertent result of the fact that the DROD engine used for score verification treats Master Walls as impassable walls, though it could appear in other circumstances.
The problem is that if you submit a score which fails verification, it destroys your previous score even if the verification fails. For example, Schik has the 1st place score on the Entrance of KDD 2.0. If Schik were to Play New Game and immediately walk south (assuming he's mastered the hold), it would submit a lower score for verification, deleting his initial score. But the lower score would fail to verify, and he would no longer have a score for that room (until he re-completes it without walking into a Master Wall)...and he would have permanently lost 1st place.
This could potentially come up in other areas, and it seems reasonable that many people could lose scores without realizing it, as this recently happened to me. As a fix, could we please not destroy a verified score until
after a lower score has been verified?
