super phantom would be awesome!!
it'd probably involve having to alter the floatiness of the ships otherwise everything would go a bit mental...
still, one can dream
again though, it still baffles me that everbody who has serious complaints still continues to play the game everyday...even when its not enjoyable for them
i was just playing and i remembered tht night Al. you guys are right...the handling is Fed up, i played offline with feisar for a while, and im currently online playing and feels like triakis in a feisar body. Something is seriously wrong with the innner game engine. and im getting sick of SLs screw ups, i don't understand how so many ppl stand behind them at this point. They have had ample time to fix some things and still havent. WOHD has just become one big disappointment after the next . You can deny it all you want as this point but we all know where this game is going *TOILET*

You do realize that there are hovering racecraft with Osama Bin Laden's christmas wish list strapped to them, usually by a certain crazy frenchman who somehow hasn't been abducted by the magical men in white coats because of his skills?
What've you been playing?!? F-Zero Vs. Mario Kart?!?
Speaking from experience - if you're about to walk away - back up your game save data - (to a memory stick, USB or what not) and delete ALL save data (yeah, every ghost, one by one painful as it may be) - then download the game again from the PSN store - you're allowed to do this free of charge 4 or 5 times.
Play 1.26 for a while - and bask in all it's glory - just click "cancel" when the game launches to avoid updating. This will tell you, "yes, you WERE that good - no it's not in your head"
Once you had your fill of offline fun - update the game to 1.4 - and YES, it's nowhere as good as 1.26 - that said, it worked so much better, I can tolerate it again. At 1.4 the game is 100% better than it was when I was on 1.3 - but still 15% short of 1.26.
im not going to walk away from it, its just a huge dissapointment right now, and im not the only one who thinks it
1.3 not as good as 1.4...you must be out of your mind haha...i hope your only talking about in game added features and not the internal game engine...which they basically raped with 1.4
You are allowed an infinite number of downloads on up to five activated PS3 systems. As long as you have the same PS3, you have an infinite amount of downloads for any content you bought.
1.3 is what broke my wohd and it was when my gameplay went to poop. 1.4 is better than 1.3 by a wide margin. 1.26 was the last good version before all the new features got added ( at the expense of precision gameplay ). But again, im saying that the game itself may be getting broken over time. Reinstalling made even this version besrable, so i obviously had other problems in addition to the "standard 1.3 / 1.4 issues"
The more my FEISAR feels light and responsive around corners the more I'm convinced the handling issues are just psychological, or a desperate reach to say the game's terrible because it isn't exactly like Wipeout 2097, instead of the game ACTUALLY being broken.
It might depend when you are playing and who you are playing against [local/not that far away/united nations] that the problems occur more often,if at all in your case.
Some seem to be lucky and not have any [or very few] problems,others get them all at one stage or another during a long session of online play.
Very frustrating when you do get the problems.
Others might get the impression that you can't play the game within the top ranks,where in truth you are being hampered by Vista pads,non functioning BR's and lag [with the Vista pads being the worse]
Well I have been playing with players that I know from the Zone, that I know are from EU/AUS, been in rooms from Europe and Japan. I can't say there are no issues at all. Barrel Rolls aren't coming out sometimes. I can live with that, I can still win without doing every single possible BR. And the BRs in Pure were hit-and-miss as well, and when that game was at it's peak there wasn't that much uproar.
The only real major issues I'm having have been around since 1.26.
Weapon pads about a second and a half to respawn, and when I'm following someone close and I desperately need to absorb something to recharge my shields, I have to slow up to allow the weapon pads enough time to recharge. Honestly that's worse than some jackoff camping on the same pad the entire race. The weapon pads take too long to respawn. I haven't gotten a single so-called Vista pad but at least you'll know which ones to avoid and plan accordingly. The recharge times for a working weapon pad, though, are a f*cking joke.
And if I haven't made myself clear about ship-to-ship collisions in online, let me restate again that it is hot, salty garbage. It's the most overpowered weapon in the game. And that's why I hate that people are saying the pick-ups are overpowered now, I have been able to recover from being hit by mines and rockets etc, but if I get pinned against a wall by three different pilots I can't come back from that. I just can't. If SL fixes this in 1.50 and doesn't address any other issues I will be so overjoyed anyway.
I'm still not sold on the ship handling bugs that are apparently so drastic that they're turning the nimbler ships into barges around corners, though.
I also have been in ships which handled differently ( worse ) than the ship i actually chose. many times i have returned to the ship select screen to find that it is on egx NOT ag syst as originally selected. On the whole, I think SL are getting there albeit somewhat slower than expected. Keep at it SL, patience is a virtue and we are all getting very virtuous....
