    Default Your best moments in HD

    Should this be a different thread to the worst moment in HD thread, I don't know, but if it needs to be moved please do.

    Thought it would be cool to start one about your best moments.

    Doesn't have to be about winning races or fast times, could be about anything from meeting someone or eliminating some poor sod.

    1: The night I met Greenix was one of the funniest moments I had, never heard of him before but he was super fast and kept beating me. We got chatting and it turned out he was the cheekiest bleeder I had met on line (closely followed by Yeldar) , we were comparing race times and he was a bit faster than me on most tracks. Found a couple that i was faster on and said he didn't have a chance at beating them just to wind him up, to which his reply was 'give me a couple of minutes'. The cheeky ****er!!!! Well I gave him a couple of minutes and he beat the times WTF! It just turned into a slanging match after that but I was laughing my arse off all night.

    2: Greenix again. Continuing our battles on the track a few weeks later, the usual banter was going on between us. He was getting the better of me more than I care to recall and i was getting a bit pissed off. Then on Vineta K rev on the last lap he shot past me as only he can do. I was thinking here we go again. Then I got a quake in the tunnel near the end.... BAM!!...Got him! I saw him labouring a bit at the top of the hill, picked up a Cannon and fired one shot and eliminated him. Very funny moment Pay back. I was practicaly hysterical at this moment and couldn't see the finish line through the tears. (little things please little minds)

    3: Joined a game with Asa and Rapier Racer one night, hadn't played them before but seen them on the forum, so was a bit nervous, wondering if I was going to make fool of myself or not. Couldn't believe that I managed to win two races in a row against them!! I turned to mush after that, but it didn't matter as I had done OK against some very, very good pilots.

    4: The day I downloaded HD and joined this forum of course.

    Anyone else like to share some good times from their HD/FURY careers?

    Good thread KGB - makes a change to concentrate on the positives rather than the negatives.

    Some of my best moments are as follows -

    1 - Avalon - Last time out was the first time I've fully participated in one. And what great fun it was. Top pilots and great fun in the chatrooms as well. Without the chat it wouldn't be half as good.

    2 - England World Cup Qualification - this was the first time I'd raced against 7 other really fast pilots and what a learning curve it was. Again, what made it was the banter in the chatrooms.

    3 - Getting the WR on rev VinK zone (now sadly gone). I started about 80,000 away from the record and slowly got to within 30,000. Thanks to GTP_Rorschach (who kept beating my score and motivated me to do better) I managed to get to within 20,000 and then 1 day had the record breaking run. Thought it would last longer than it did but massive respect to Kingheim for breaking it.

    4 - The day I joined this site. I didn't find it until Dec or Jan and then seeing a lot of names who I'd seen as global leaders and inspirational to me were quite happy to chat and share tips. And also, what a welcoming friendly place it is. After my previous experiences of online gaming Wipeout has proven to be a real joy.

    5 - The anticipation of Fury. Those few days before release were pretty cool and never seen the site so busy.

    6 - Hearing Zone 100 cleared for the first time. Sweet.

    1. Ever since Tordmulen told me about Team Nordic, this has been my third child
    All those guys are just bloody great - on the track and outside the track, as well. We´ve had an awful lot of hillarious weekly Nordic Sessions. Of course it´s about winning (no doubt!), but just experiencing the chat-room surrealism is more than enough to make your evening. (No one beats Soccermums or Zoth being in a funky mood ). If the chat-room had some kind of "print-function", I would publish it as book. Or maybe not.
    2. Enthropic Decay. My WO-brother, Zoth, and I, have had several great matches vs. you guys and girl (!) from WO-zone. Great racing all of you. And great meeting you as real virtual persons in The ED Headquarter.
    3. All The Organizers; the people who made an effort arranging events, which are making WO an even better experiment for all of us, especially:
    Kanar´s Avalons: I remember one specific friday morning in the spring. Coffee, cigs, kids institutionalized, wife at work and - for the first time this year - a beautiful sun bashing the windows. Kanar almost asleep, but talkative as ever. I´ll put a picture of you on the wall one day, Kanar
    Astral League: Always a pleasure attending The Astral. Big thanks to Epsilon (where are you?!) - Nyctalopian and Kaori, as well!
    The Doubles Ladder: Thanks to Feisar31 and Yeldar for putting this up.
    4. The Inventors. Thanks for making progress a bit easier for me to all of you guys, who are not afraid of sharing videos and new techniques.

    I see myself Posting alot on this thread But I think one of my favorite moments was a 1 on 1 race with yeldar, he pulled ahead of me where I proceded to Quake, Rocket then missile him in less then 4 seconds.

    The Resulting FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU from my chat box notification afterwords put me into stitches.

    Well first of all for buying the game all the way back in November had to be one of the best decisions of my life. I've had so many great races and met so great people that it's hard to pick my best moment.

    Recently i hit zone 106 so that could be considered a great moment.

    Getting a full transendence was also a satisfiying feeling. Beating zico and zone zeus gave me a huge feeling of accomplisment, one i'll never forget.

    Setting personal bests, beating the very best racers out there (on rare occasions), meeting and chatting to old and new zoners alike, all of these are my favourite moments

    my best moment in HD was last night playing in single race with problem solver and olouk and TarquinFarqhuar, and other players of similar high skill levels.

    It was my first time i got to play with some super elite players and i really enjoyed it.

    problem solver kept parking up on the track to wait for me and as i flew past he would shoot a rocket into my ass.lol.

    Got to say the first Avalon meet I played in was pretty good moment. Joined Kanar's room on Moa reverse, by the time we got in the tunnel, first lap, no weapons, I had been eliminated!!!!!! Welcome to Avalon . Always feels like a real happening when I have played in them. Kanar's the man.

    ... aww.

    Thanks guys... Well I just tried to set up a wipeout "All star game", opened to all, one time a month. A scheduled/ranged event, with several host spots available during 3 days. "Setting a date, gathering pilots, and race"... And you all realized this dream. The so-called avalon is nothing more than a friendship party, where you can have a good bunch of races, all over the week-end, with pilots from all over the world. Of course my best moments in HD took part with you all, during these events. And when Asa, kaori and Leungbok came at my place to share this crazy passion in "LIVE"
    As Blackwiggle said recently, Sony should support more its game (and SL polish his beta-testing policy LOL), and sponsor some events like the upcoming world cup. We can see clearly that WZ and HD are growing quickly, maybe an official offer will be better than some initiatives took by some poor lost boyz like me.
    My life has changed since last month. A hand hyperephidrosis, a detox (lol) and the fact that my wife simply don't play videogames slowly kept me away from world of wipeout. I must admit I haven't practiced for the next week-end. I'm definitely not in the mood for speed lapping at the moment, last times I played I finished rage-quitting all alone after 5 or 10 minutes lol. It will be a real nightmare for me to just finish the races... But as promised, I'll be up to run the show with my friends. We'll host again several rooms all over the week-end, just for the joy of racing together again . By the way if you're interested to be part of the host crew, feel free to pm me or post in the event's thread). Gah, maybe I'll find enough motivation to practice a little this week.

    Another moment for me.

    Every single Groan I hear when I eliminate an opponent online. Their destruction is like a turbo boost for my Craft!

    I now have a new found appreciation for zone battle!

    I hated this mode when I first tried it, and steered away from it. But on a trophy hunt this weekend, I'm now hooked.

    I'm by no means very good, but I like the mix of tactics and timing! Really great mode once you get into it.

    There were a lot of great online moments in HD but I'll stick with the most recent one.

    This one is starring JJohnEames, myself and a nice Plasma last Saturday on SC fwd phantom:

    I was on 3rd, final round ?, ~3 sec behind JJ - I think he was having a good fight for #1 w/ oolproo (?). Anyway I had a plasma but no one anywhere to shoot at. Though I jumped and BR'd over the hill before the looong straight down the tunnel and just shot the plasma. Ok, normally the chance of a hit or direct hit is nil. But this time the Plasma went perfectly straight, with a little right spin down into the tunnel where JJ just tried to take the corner up to the chicane. But he never got there The Plasma gained on him with every second and just as he started the right turn he got hit and destroyed .... Well, I passed and finished 2nd. My estimate is that the Plasma flight time was between 3 and 4 secs. It was so nice to watch, esp. when the Plasma really found the target and did a prefect job. It was like wel - yes - Yes - YES - YEESSSS!

    JJ appreciated getting hit with a 'beautiful!' after the race . I have to second that . Indeed, it was beautiful and my best Plasma ever. It's a pity there is no replay to enjoy this again, and again , and ... btw, I just received a destroyer badge for this. This should have been a 5 times Plasmafier - at least.

    Every time I set a new record that is better, same, or near one of you find people. Gets me all happy inside seeing our names together on the global rankings.

    Default eliminator

    At several occasions, in Eliminator modes, (human) ennemies and I ended destroying each other at about the same time (like, using missiles on each another).
    It cracks me up each times it happens
