Non-working leaderboards [please fix it!]

[XBARNSTERX]

Yes they all can be beaten.
Jf messaged me saying he'd beaten his anulpha venom record without bsb. Anulpha reverse can certainly be bettered, a possible 8 brs on that track but tricky to do.
Metropia reverse on venom and flash can be beaten, possible 6brs on that track,
Ubermall has been beaten on venom,flash.and rapier.
Vineta k i'm not sure about , i havent gave that a try yet. Sames goes for vineta k reverse.
Akfurtif earned top spot on phantom on that track which shows it can be done on phantom.(vineta k forward)
Moas been beaten,
metropia forward can be beaten,
ubermall reverse on venom and flash has bean beaten

Think thats it , they can be beaten. I've said yet again

Fairness ??? I don't see the problem if a player keeps his tricks for himself and don't share with anybody.

You got me wrong. I meant, like I have written, fairness in the sense that
everyone plays under the same rules. So there are times on the leaderboard
which do not comply to the current rules of the game. And it isn't of any
interest whether 'you' can break these BSB times or not.

Problemsolver, That's great if you can beat your zone records anytime !
I'm unable to do it on tt/sl. I know i can improve my pb, but it may takes hours or weeks.
Can you improve too your speedlap records that easily ? You were recently working on tech de ra, no ? Atm, you must be close to 21.00, there's no bsb problems to solve there !

Watch Connavar's page. I'm down to 21:55 with Feisar, and I can do a 21:45.
Sure, I can do better using Icaras and or Harimau, but I don't want to. My one
and only issue is pulling all those barrel rolls. I did only two on TDR for
my current record. I simply haven't spent 300h+ into Speed Lap to be quick
enough on the barrel rolls. I'm still questioned how you pull the one over the
little crest (within the downhill section) on TDR? Are you using the analog
stick or not? Likewise with Talon's Junction Reverse, where I did a 21:96 on
Feisar with only one BR. If I could pull the second one more consistently then
this should be enough for rank 1 (21.72 your time). So I'm not a Speed Lap
guys just yet, but I can be fast, and I lack only the BR-thing to essentially
catch some of you guys up there. I think you did 2 BRs on TJ Rev. and 3 or
4 in TDR. One BRs more on TDR and I will even get your time (21.01) riding
a Feisar. So teach me how to do the one over the little crest. I tried virtually
everything like nose up/down, sideshift + nose up/down, ..., but nothing.
I guess, I'm simply not fast enough doing the BR-LRL/RLR sequence.

The BR you're talking about is impossible...unless you're leungbok

My success rate - 0%

Back on track: This thread is SO necessary

What I don't understand is why some tracks update almost instantly and some don't update at all....

[RobCoxy]

Most of the BR's some of you pull off are bloody impossible!

And Rezatron, I was SOOOO close to getting a 1:49 on MP Ubermall Flash earlier in the week, but i went and fell off the track which lost me around 3 seconds ! BTW, i dont think that track's board updates...

[ProblemSolver]

@yeldar2097: 0%? lol
Does he use another input device? Doesn't sound like a DS3 judging
from the video. But what ever he uses, he is about three times faster
pulling the rolls than I do. xD

... What I don't understand is why some tracks update almost instantly and some don't update at all....

You may perhaps get a trophy solving this puzzle.

[yeldar2097]

I think leungBRbok uses pad and motion for pitch(am i right?).
He's just REALLY REALLY fast with his fingers. Like, REALLY fast.

[ProblemSolver]

Didn't he played Pulse as crazy as HD? xD Was a good training for the
BRs, I guess. No?

[XBARNSTERX]

@Rezatron, ubermall updates so your ok.
metropia, chenghou, sebenco, anulpha dont , both forward and reverse.
the reverse of the fury tracks dont update.
And two of the pure four dont update, think syncopia and pro tozo. if not pro tozo then its mallavo

[leungbok]

Yes yeldar, i use the directional pad (i play the old school way since the first wipeout) and motion control (pitch only) at 100%, and yes it's a ds3. For the sound i don't know, maybe the triggers (lot of sideshifts^^) or my cam sound.
Pbs, for my talon's junction reverse i only performed one br for my 21.72. I can do an other br but this one is hard, i work on it to improve this time some day.

[ProblemSolver]

One BR seem more appropriate when considering your time on TJ Rev., right. I
can do three BRs on TJ Rev.; one when going into the loop, one when going out
of the loop down the straight using the boost, and one out of last corner (never
saw anyone performing this one). But I currently don't know whether the second
one is worth a thing. The first two are easy, even I can do it! xD Only the last
one is a bit more difficult but nothing against the one on TDR. A 21:5x should be
possible for me on a Feisar using the first BR (with boost) and the third one out
of last corner. But tell me, how man BRs have you done for your current record
(21:01) on TDR?

@SL: Please fix the leaderboard, ASAP! (on topic again xD)

Maybe some tracks update or not according to the number of entries they have (too many entries = update failure) ? Or other explanation, maybe the records are not updated when the server is overloaded. Maybe they need faster servers.

4 br are possible on talon's rev : first one using the boost at the begining (nose up and turn while br-ing - hard to control but cool to do when you don't touch the wall). And the 3 other br you're talking about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6bNFt2E6zc )

I did the same brs as on my video for tech de ra (my ghost is 21.01) = 4 (another one is possible to perform at the end to crush the 21.00 barrier, but hard to do because of the last chicane).

The piloting techniques should be discussed in some other thread, preferably one about piloting techniques.

[karsten_beoulve]

I just set the #2 world record on Multiplayer Ubermall Flash (1.51.xx). I just needed to write that in this thread ... it better update!

i was in that race! there was no chance to catch you!
i ended 3rd IIRC with my best time too

[novide]

I hope SL will fix it soon. I am not so fast, but the leaderboard is a good
motivation for me, to become better...

[ProblemSolver]

Thx that some of you guys made also a post about this topic on the PS Blog.

We will keep them on their toes!

[G-Hob]

Is it normal for the top 10 times on a track to be the obvious result of glitches where no speed pads were hit and the total time is less than a nimute for a 4-lap race?

I noticed that on one track last night.

[yeldar2097]

No, lots of the single race times are messed. Pretty much all of them in fact.
There are a couple of speed lap/time trial times that are buggered but nowhere near
as many. All the rest (AFAIK) is fine except for the obvious Anulpha Pass zone scores...

All I can say is: thank **** for Connavar's site.

[ProblemSolver]

I wouldn't be surprised if the leaderboard issue is 'out of hand' of SL, in
the same vein as the account problem last time around;

... we believe we have a fix for the problem with logging in with certain accounts.

We know this one has been going on for a long time and apologise for that, but it has involved quite a lot of work by many people some of whom from outside of Studio Liverpool. A real team effort. ...

[blackwiggle]

It's not just the leader boards not updating.

If you check your personal records you will find that not all times are being kept on your console.

For instance,say you had 4 progressively better times for TT or SL on one particular track at say Phantom speed.
Those four different times should be kept on the console in personal records,if you go back a day or so later and look at the times you will possibly find only 1 or 2 of those time still recorded,the others would of disappeared, and it will be almost certain that the event times on your console that show this happening to them are the ones that are not updating with the online records.
