Recent Zone Accomplishment

[purist284]

Hey everyone. Ok. So I'm 7 years late to the party. But I just made the top 100 in Zone mode on Vineta K. I realize that the leaderboards are messed up and that there are X number of cheaters at the top of each leaderboard who don't have any business being there... but I quite obsessively paged up until I determined exactly how many cheaters there were (see Exhibit A)...

And then I subtracted that number, 237, from my leaderboard score of 336 (Exhibit B)...

Exhibit B.jpg

Which puts me in 99th place. Woo hoo! If anyone else would like to post a Zone score they're particularly proud of, please feel free to post screens. I'm going to get back to trying to break my own record and move further up the leaderboard.

I am proud of my 8th place on Unity Square with 86 Zones (lol coincident).

...Don't request a screenshot of a Vita game

That is very impressive. I haven't really sunk my teeth into 2048 yet. Will have to quit slacking off... But isn't it possible to do a screen grab by pressing the PS button and Start at the same time? Or maybe you just don't want to use Sony's Content Manager? lol, I can't really blame you if that's the case.

It is indeed possible to make Screenshots with Start+PS, but it doesn't works in most of the games. Good Job Sony

I just edged out my record by a few hundred points. If you'll pardon the poor quality of my camcorder footage, it's here (unfortunately there's no sound for the first half because the music got picked up by YouTube's system):

Better still, I've managed to rank up to 310 (in reality, that's around 73rd).

those ae not cheaters, you can see the top score: kousoku -> 100 zones 79 perfect zones score: 339466.

CRAZY_CHICKEN13 -> 26 zones 8 perfect zones score: 43808.

it's just the zone leaderboards that are messed up...i noticed that if you look at global records, the stats are ****ed up, but if you look your 'friends list record' you'll see the real stats...ofc you need friends who played zones.

i'll post 2 screenshots when i'm back at home, to explain better

I'm counting everyone above kousoku as cheaters, because despite having low zone scores they've somehow managed to be at the top of the leaderboards without justification. So, #1-#237 can all hang their heads in shame. They have no business being where they're at. The way I arrived at my score was to subtract those 237 people from my current leaderboard position (which is now 310) which equals 73. But if I'm in error, please show me.

Cheers

i said: the leader boards of zones scores are messed up, broken, bugged or whatever you like to call it. those are not cheaters.

they havent managed to be at the top, they didnt hack something...it's just a coincidence because LBoards doesnt works, the raking looks like are randomly placed.

back in the days there was a glitch on anulpha pass that did let you reach incredible\not human zone scores, but this was patched in latest version of the game.

it's a bug. deal with it.

for a better raking consultation\update just check wipeoutrankings.com, still a better choice

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on a couple of counts. It's not my intention to start an argument here, but you've made a statement that does not correspond with the facts as far as I'm able to determine and I'm hoping you might clarify. You'd previously indicated that you'd post a couple of screenshots to "explain better", I'm still hoping you might indulge me.

Let's begin where we agree, though, in that "the leaderboards of zone scores are messed up..." I'm willing to concede that the 237 people at the top of the Vineta K Zone leaderboard are not cheating in some way, that there is some bug that has caused them to be at the top of the leaderboards inadvertently. However, the rankings do not "look like they are randomly placed" at all. The way I determined this was to page up from my current rank to the world's top scorer, kousoku. And then from there I paged down to my own score and beyond - all the while checking to see that everything was in order. And, indeed, from 238 down, everyone's score is ranked in order - from highest to lowest. Now, I'm not going to page down 66,000 times in order to prove that without a doubt, but please do check into that before making statements that are demonstrably false. The only thing wrong with the leaderboard for that particular challenge that I am able to determine is that there are 237 people with low zone scores ranked higher than the world's top scorer.

As for your statement that it's a bug and that I should "deal with it". I am perplexed at your tone, as I'm just wanting to share some gameplay and get a handle on where my latest efforts put me in terms of the global rankings.

Thank you, though, for directing me to wipeoutrankings.com. I am skeptical a bit, however, about the the user-submitted nature of the records featured there. Incidentally, my personal best places me at 49th place. So again, I don't believe it's a realistic metric in that sense, but it's nice for the ego I suppose.

Nugget is right though, zone boards are broken

They are not in order either, if you do a zone run and press square at the end to check where your score's at it should be pretty obvious there's something completely messed up there, just accept that the online leaderboards for zone (and a lot of other races/modes) are broken
