Hello, I present you my new league, the Die Hard League (thanks kanar for the name).
It's a kind of Avalon, but with weapons! It's forbidden to absorb any weapons, even to cancel an auto-pilot!
In order to prevent your reflexes to press O before a pad for example, you will need to go in settings paddle before an Die Hard event, and put the Absorb function on the button... Select? :naughty R3 since update 1.30 :D


Next event, thirsday 16 april, 20.30 GMT +1 (London) or 21.30 GMT +2 (West Europ)

This looks like an interesting idea. I doubt I would survive more than a second in the AGS or Feisar but I like to give new stuff a try. So count me in for the first one.

That is very interesting, what happened if I accidently pressed a `O` button?, that means I`m disqualifed!

stevie:)

It's why you have to set your paddle : absorb = Select button

I imagine that with absorb assigned to the select button, the O button would return to its default. So if you press it accidentally on purpose, then you will immediately self destruct and respawn in hell. Either that, or nothing would happen, it's 50-50.

No no, the O button don't work, no function on this button. We've test this tournament last thursday with leungbok, Wotan, ExpitariuS, Bonake, Epsilon Darkdrium & Xtriko, good racing, no cheats, and "contender eliminated" twice par lap!

great idea! this means that other people will be eliminated and not always me by myself :)

This will leave no room for BR's :) in the other hand, it sounds like my usual day to day online failure.

Whats this league features, elimination styled events?

kanar
23rd February 2009, 11:32 AM
No BRs, no absorbtion, more explosion... new racing to death gameplay. Great idea. I'll do my best to join one of this event in a near future.

This definitely seems more like my kind of event :D I'll never make it because of the time difference but still, it sounds fun.

yeldar2097
23rd February 2009, 12:47 PM
is it that BRs aren't allowed or are they just inadvisable?
would be fun to try and do BRs like normal :) lots of elims woo!

LOUDandPROUD
23rd February 2009, 12:56 PM
My understanding is that BR's are allowed...just not advisable.

kanar

exactly. BR at your own risk!

Kaori, this idea sounds really fun ... something like a merge of Killzone2 and Wipeout, a 'bloody' aka 'shreddy' feast ... i applied for the usergroup, please accept, and see you on track latest in March.

Maybe a port to Pulse also? ;)

The problem is you can't respawn in WipEout Pulse.

Wow, joint 3rd, cool! I was amazed by how well I survived in the Icarus. The only thing I didn't like was canon. Having to wait to fire off all the rounds before I could get another weapon was making me impatient. Plus the fact that I kept driving into walls while doing so :lol

Sounds fun, as i am making a bad habit of being eliminated all the time i shouldn't be out of place in this. If you have another one i would like to join in:lol

It'd be good to see you there kgb, as I felt a bit out of place against all the frenchmen. Especially as some of them had headsets and seemed to be talking some strange alien language. At least I assume it was alien because it sure wasn't english.
