    Exclamation Non-working leaderboards [please fix it!]

    I wrote the following comment on the EU Playstation Blog entry
    'WipEout HD Fury Coming To Blu-ray'.

    Quote Originally Posted by ProblemSolver

    Why? We at WipeoutZone.com (the core WipEout community) follow a deep
    competition which is based on a working leaderboard. You wouldn't believe it,
    but a non-working leaderboard diminishes the enthusiasm of a lot of WipEout
    racing fans and essentially turns down the competition.

    Additionally, some leaderboards contain (known) glitched 'records'. And there
    are also some 'records' on the board which can't be broken anymore since they
    are the result of the so-called boost-select-boost trick (prior to version 2.0).

    I (we) wanna know if STUDIO Liverpool is working on a solution and whether we
    can expect any results soon?

    Thanks in advance.


    /PS
    I hope my question isn't left unanswered.

    id be happy if they just let us know that were doing something about it. i used to do SL/TT everyday now i only really race online because i have a hoard of records not updated. like you said the motivation to put in the hard work isnt as strong anymore knowing your times wont be on the official leaderboards. i think you'll all agree its nice to see your name up there with the best

    fingers crossed

    Good work PS and Constrictor. Fully signed! Let`s hope we hear something before the Blu Ray release if nothing else. If people are going to be sold the game as having a leaderboards feature (which is standard in all racing games nowadays) then the leaderboards ought to work, or at least there should be some communication as to what is happening, imho.

    I love how here people never listen those who are experts on speedlaps when they say that BSB RECORDS CAN BE BROKEN (example : my 20.15 anulpha phantom was beaten by Ak-furtif without bsb )
    It really becomes boring to read all those complaints.

    There should also be something about voice chat... Honestly it's a legit case if you say you got tricked by the advertising as them saying the game had voice chat, but really it doesn't (or does so terribly, I personally can't even use the thing as it doesn't work.)

    Thanks to ask them to solve the boards problems

    But people who use bsb spend time to perform this trick.
    It's not an easy way as a glitch, they deserve their ranks!
    I mean it should be rude to delete their times
    So i would like Studio Liverpool to allow it back without the 3 seconds delay (which make it still available btw but harder to perform)

    We can also see it as a way to perform much better time even after good lines on the tracks.
    Personnaly i mean it adds fun (and i'm not good with that trick)

    Please don´t turn this thread into a thread about voice-chat or BSB
    What PS´s saying is very important to all of us:
    THE (lack of) UPDATING OF THE LEADERBOARDS!
    Indeed, what´s going on in the moment is very strange: Some PB´s update straight away and some don´t (own experience). (Just to clarify: I´m talking ´bout "Multiplayer"; I understand it´s the same **** regarding other parts of the game).
    I´ve got hope, though. As far as I remember, we had the same problem when HD was released. It took time, but finally our PB´s were updated.
    I have fate in SL considering this as the biggest problem at the moment

    Even though ill never get a record time in anything, specially Wipeout, its annoying as hell the leaderboards not working. Im so tired of looking at my records and only seeing times from when i first got the game.
    The worst thing about the whole farce, is that SL dont even bother to try to fix the problem, and dosent seem to care much about the wipeout fans.

    2cent from a noob

    I have to be honest, even though i prefer connavar and co's site a thousand million times more, the broken leaderboard has detered me massively from playing.

    shallow in some ways yes, but hey ho.

    I agree with PS totally please fix it.

    While Connavar's site is working, i can live without the official's leaderboards. My ego don't needs that the wide world sees my races time, i only care about real wipeout's fans !

    I'm entering my times on Connavar's site regardless of whether or not those times get updated. But yes, i've slowed down my TT/SL play due to this problem since I don't want alot of my records to be "lost" so to speak. Hopefully when this gets sorted all these lagging times will be accounted for!

    I record all my times in a notebook before entering them in Connovar's site and i've noticed that Multiplayer Talon's Junction (all speeds) is updating fine (perhaps we can start a list?). Most others are not, i've got about 50 multiplayer records that need to be entered. The thing is you can see these MP times in your personal records but it won't give your best lap, only speed pads which makes entering those times half baked.

    I really want to update my entries on Connavars site, but I can't tell the difference between Single Player and Multiplayer races in the "Personal" tab (which seems to contain the latest records)

    I fully sign the need to kickstart the update process!

    I know what you mean; I´m doing exactly the same, hoping the problem will be solved.
    BUT, although I definately trust the honest people of WO-zone, I imagine uproars in the future if it´s not possible to cross-check the records with a working SL-leaderboard.
    AND: Wipers dedicating a lot of time playing WO and bettering their records deserve to get their PB´s recognized: aka They show up on the SL-leaderboards.

    We must be patient . I'm sure SL will fix this problem later . The most important is to keep our motivation on beating our scores again and again . Leaderboards are just a "bonus" .

    What bothers me the most is that those guys and gals at SL are able to pull
    the hell out of the PS3 but aren't able to maintain a leaderboard server. If
    they can't maintain it, they should skew it altogether. What's the problem?
    I'm fine if we could update our records to a public leaderboard server straight
    out of the game. Would be cool if our records could be transmitted to
    Connavar's 'Website for Global Rankings', just for example.

    And I love how people never pay attention to written English and claim to
    know better. I wrote; "... there are also some 'records' on the board which
    can't be broken anymore ..."
    . Can you see the difference? kthx

    You got a reply on the PlayStation European blog ProblemSolver. It appears your concern is being "communicated" to Sony Liverpool.

    If only it was the same for every "concern."
