I should point out that while I think I've experienced this, and I'm sure I've read it works this way, I may be entirely wrong about it. The fact that the AI always seems to get a stronger boost than the player suggests it does work this way (obviously the AI can hit at exactly the right time), but I wouldn't mind if someone else confirmed it.
ok, excuse me if i do a break on the main daily topic, but i've a question:
some times ago i had verified in 2 player multiplayer that when hit an icaras straight on its back with a plasma shot it loses 47% of its shield
today when i'm racing, ( chengou p. ) just after the start i've picked up a plasma on the first or second grid ,don't remeber well, but i've shot the plasma and i've hit the icaras just before me , destroying it ( i know a case over a million, sincerelly i'm not a good shooter )
now, i'm sure 99.9 % that that icaras haven't got any damage before since the race have just start from about few seconds...
sincerelly i'm quite confused now:dizzy
game phisics and stats changes depending if you race in one player mode or against a human in 2 player, or what else?
could some of the programmer come down and tell a word about this , colin? crob?
If you hit it just right you'll see the exhaust flare up. For whatever reason last night I couldn't get my timing right on any races.
Hello,
I apologize if this has been asked/answered before.
Online, depending on race class and the strength of the other racers, if I have an aggressive opponent who has been behind me for a while, I'll sometimes let go of the accelerator and will let them pass. Then, I'll hit them with missiles, rockets, quake, or whatever I have on hand.
I have no reason to believe that the opponent can't hear the "sonic boom" that sounds when I press the accelerator again.... it's just that I've never really heard that sound from other ships in a race and was wondering if it could be heard at all.
Thanks!
Damage done to other craft is dependent on how close you are to that craft when you shoot them.
You notice that the most when you play it cockpit view,if somebody hits you with a cannon for example,the craft will shudder to varying degrees depending on how close the attacking craft is.
If they are really close it is very hard to see where you are going,and you are hoping for a weapon pad pick up to absorb quickly as you shield energy has got really low.
you still responding to me blackwidge?
if yes i tell you, i've done some test about how much a ship lose when hit by weapons, in 2 player i've shoted a plasma right on the back of the icaras at close close range ,i've attached the triakis right behind the icaras at few cm ( i was " playing " alone in 2 player ) and then shot, icaras have lost 47% , try yourself and see
then yesterday i've crippled an icaras in single race mode with only one shot of plasma, 8/10 sec after start...pretty foggy fact
Perhaps it does more damage online to balance out the potential lag?
I have some questions.
Does anyone know how much damage each weapon does? Also I read in this thread that mines and bombs linger for about 10 seconds, is this correct? Will the bomb blow up by itself even if its not triggered by a ag-racer?
When do the acceleration of the craft come into play? Is it only after you come off full throttle and floor it again or does the acceleration factor kick in when you hit speed bumps and/or use the speed bost "weapon"?
Is it possible to use the "pilot help" (the thing that keeps you off the walls) online? I suspect that it is possible but I dont like it. Can I when hosting a game turn it off for everyone in the settings?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone can use pilot assist online, but it limits you to 98% thrust. Plus the quick lines are often close to the wall, so i wouldnt worry about it online.
No you cant turn it off as the host.
Acceleration applies to the ship. You know, how fast it gets up to top speed? :)
Couldnt tell you exactly the damage of each, but an estimate of damage in order goes - plasma / quake / bomb / rockets (if all 3 hit) / mines (if hit all of them) / leech beam / missile / cannon
Mines stay for around five seconds, bombs for around twenty.
It might be nice if bombs stayed for at least one lap - then if you were last, at least it might be of some use :p
I thought your bomb lasted a whole lap.
I swear i come around to see my own bomb blow up moments before i reach it.
That's because a lap lasts around twenty seconds :P
i've a question that going around my head from date
why there's a F7200 ag-sys craft silhouette together with the quirex and feisar one on the FX350 logo? what's the sense?
does anyone else almost always have bad aliasing? I notice this before every race, in first-person mode, while the camera moves around. oh well, still the best game ever.
oh friend! what a coincidence! i've just finish in another post ( the 1.2 patch one ) writing about bad aliasing , white snowing effect and frame loss problems
so for respond to you YES i have bad aliasing problems
This is more of a random HD statement than a question.
anyway DO NOT change your PSN sign-in id (email address) for your PSN account or you may get error 80022D11, which occurs when you try to boot a trophy-enabled game, such as Wipeout HD.
I couldn`t boot the game at all, my HD save is corrupted and I had to start again to unlock everything :( At least with novice mode it`s possible to unlock a LOT quite quickly, but losing all of your ghosts, records and campaign progress is *tests forum swear filter*
this a Playstation problem, not a Wipeout HD problem, of course.
Oh, you can't change it back?
Log in with the old account, shouldn't everything be good then?
at what about you still refering lunar?
I thought that might work, Jay, but this error corrupts your save file. It`s a problem with the Trophy system, I think, not limited to HD. The only way to get rid of it and get trophy games to run is to delete your PS3 user account and the saves. If you backup the save, make a new account, and restore, the problem returns. I could have probably restored the ghosts, but I will set new ones anyway.
I suppose the lesson is: backup your stuff. A save from before the corruption occurred would probably have been ok. Anyway I hope people have been warned not to change sign in email address because it`s pretty annoying.
