botched ranking online?
just talking to yeldar about your "online rank"....some ppl are 22 plus already...people not from here and what not. not saying they arent good but how in only two days do they move up so fast....i know there are a lot of factors. i may be wrong so im not accusing but i think there could be some people possibly boosting for rank points kinda like doing an "eliminator" mode with their friends in races

I'm already on rank 20 and I've haven't spent too much time online. I did spend the best part of yesterday racing but no more than I usually would. The people who are the higher ranks will have just been playing a lot, at least that seems to be the most likely case. For all we know they've been racing non stop since the patch launched. Even if you lose a race you get some points so everyone can get to a high rank with time.

Wotan is playing a lot for sure. The others, yes probably stat padders.
But in a game like WipEout where the rank is just some icon or some text, it doesn't matter as much compared to games like Killzone 2.
Don't worry, you will be rank 50 eventually, and you can beat the padders anyways so it doesn't really matter xD

ya its just always bugged me how ppl have to exploit things just to have a status simple that they know dam well themselves they dont deserve. it actually just happened in Worms as well, im in 1st place globals for Pro scheme. and the 2nd and 3rd place guys were stat boosting each other to try and take my top spot, then i called them on it and they stopped as soon as i rolled them both online

Yes i played a lot during the last two night (sleepless) . i think everybody can obtain rank 50 . It just necessary to have a lot of patience .
So i'm not interested by this ranking . I still prefer TT and SL ,which are more revealing of the skills of each .
Edit: i'm curious of what happenned when everybody will have 50th rank

Has anybody some of the single race records have been badly corrupted just like Pulse. Check out the single race reverse track records. 15seconds on Moa Therma for a total time, WTF!

ya i noticed that, if you join a game to spectate depending on how long you watched you still get a global record, i was being placed way ahead of my capabilitys as a pilot like 1 minute 16 on some, didnt know that they were actually kept as records though. This needs sorting quick

I'm a little confused looking at the rank system, whats it for? it doesn't seem to prove anything just that you've played more than the other guy? some one shed some light on it please.
Also with this stat padding i raced seb climb (flash) todayi'm rank 8 online and rank 3 multiplayer track rank it was set to 6 laps and the guy in last place who i lapped was rank 21 online. So again what does this prove? just seems a little pointless?

sure who knows, maybe if you're rank 40 and you loose against rank 25, then you'll loose some points ?
no one can judge this system yet as we dont know for sure time will make everyone rank 50 ... so just wait and see.

where exactly does that bother you if people likes spending their times on multiplayer pirhapac ?
stop making fun of people just because they arent as good as you or wotan seriously ... its getting boring!!
they like to play multiplayer.
they arent as good as you
they dont like sl or tt
they just play for fun ...
they dont care beeing rank top ten or anything.
So why making fun of them ???
let them live in peace ffs
that said, it's obvious that if you wait everybody to be ranked 40 online, then you'll get faster to rank 50 ... looks like the ranking system is like that

About this leaderboard, I know it has about 0 actual meaning except showing who
plays the most, but I'm very glad it exists as it incites people to play more,
and it attracts new players as well, no doubt some of them will be top class
very soon!
We want Wipeout HD to be as popular as possible, right?
That's the only way to keep getting DLC and future Wipeout games.

I wish this ranking system would work in a different way, like in SF4 for example. You gain more points if you win against a higher ranked player, less points when you win against a lower ranked player. You lose just little points if you lose against a higher ranked player, but a lot of points if you lose against a lower ranked player.
If done this way, the rank would really reflect a player's ability. The way it is now is really only there to attract new players...
I played a guy today who's rank was 21, never seen his name before. Then I lapped him, twice, on an 8 lap Sebenco phantom race (no guns, PA off). In short, the guy was a noob - but he had rank 21. Shows you it means nothing at all.

I have to admit I'm not a fan of Street Fighter IV's online points system. It does give an idea of how good someone is but can be a real pain if you're up against a really cheap fighter or something. It would be OK for WipEout if implemented properly. You can't be cheap in a race so it would fit in quite nicely, however I feel it might put some people off. I have to say I quite enjoyed not having any ranking at all, much like old PC games. Your skill was proven and not represented by a flashy badge.
