2 questions;
I just won a race where the 2nd and 3rd place had the same time I think it was 01:38, how come one guy came 2nd and the other guy with the exact time came 3rd? It didn't go alphabetacially for sure.
My other question is this; since you only get one badge at the end of a race, and you obviously can earn more than one, what decides what badge is shown at the end of a race? are they ranked by how hard they are to obtain? or is it decided by the first badge you get?
Regarding your second question, I was wondering the same thing while I was playing last night. Would love to get an answer to that!
I am curious as well. I haven't got a plasmafier yet and took someone out with one earlier on rev VinK but I got the destroyer badge at the end. Wasn't happy.
Sure I saw someone get a Perfection badge which I presume is for doing the whole race perfectly. I got round 3.5 laps of Rev Moa earlier and a missile got me and made me clip a wall. Was disappointed.
might be to do with which ones are 'ranked' higher or are more valuable. i tried to get the badge for winning with the least amount of BRs but got pacifist instead (what a ****ing surprise)
I always get that stupid pacifist badge... it is starting to get a bit annoying. Perhaps I have to slow down a little... :lol
maybe you can race me so that we can both stop getting it. i get it about 85% of the time, its insane
And I get the speed pad badge about 85% of the time...booooriiiing.
NeilSmiths points:
Ive also beat someone even though weve had the same time. Got exactly the same time as another racer, online I was just behind him but this was probably down to lag and I beat him to 3rd place and he was relegated to 4th. We had a laugh about it but theres no clear reason as to why.
It would be nice to know the answer to the second point, I seem to be getting the speed pad badge most of the time as well. I just dont spend enough time firing weapons, I tend to absorb most of my pick ups so I get more energy for barrel rolls!
i think it might be that whoever is placed higher has a slightly faster time but the game doesn't display times in the .001's. I think that's also why in speed lap it will sometimes say 'new lap record' even if you get what seems to be the same time :)
yeah that has happened to me on SL's
Heres a Question, How do (or can) you make custom playlists instead of forcing the music to play by album/artist?
how do you mean? like having your own music in game or doing something with your in-game music?
For instance, I can only select tracks by their album. So Default has all the normal defalut songs like Stanton Warriors, DJ Fresh etc etc.
But When I got o pick my songs I can only listen to Certain albums like JUST Fall out boy or JUST KoRn. I was wondering if I could make a custom playlist and just listen to that. A little Fall out Boy and a Little Korn and a little bit of whatever else I want. Etc.
Understand now?
well if your music is on your PS3 (as opposed to being on external storage) then you just go to 'music' in the XMB and at/near the top there should be a 'creat new playlist' icon. not sure what the song limit is but it's pretty decent. then you just select the playlist in the 'audio' section of the WOHD option menu.
hopefully i got the right end of the stick :P if not then i'm not sure what you mean....
Thanks dude! I cant believe I hadnt tried that yet. I feel like a complete moron!
+rep 4 u!
Thanks again!
I'm not sure of the song limit but I've got at least 120 songs on my wipeout playlist, can't believe you've been forced to listen to the same set of songs over and over, poor you :o
i know i've asked this before but i'm still really annoyed that i have to try and changethe volume mid-race because some of my tracks are inaudible even though when i play them in xmb they are all fine. :angryeldar:bomb
I dunno yeldar, thankfully I don't have that problem, although since the new update I have encountered no music at all during races, it happens quite frequently now :?:
I like your emoticon :p
every so often i get no music durin a race but i had that before the patch so it may well just be a dodgy song or something. really destroys the atmos when you're cruising around a silent ubermall. also makes me race like **** :(
I never had it before the patch but it happens a lot now, it just makes me feel uneasy...when you can hear the ghostly Triakis engine right behind you it's enough screw your racing through total fear haha
I always had little gaps between songs before the patch but now I can clear half a lap before the next track starts.
Whos flying mirage these days? :dizzy Hope someones doing the team proud!
im flying all sorts of ships theese days, and one of them is of course this technological marvel. i love it for its unique looks, and nice handling/speed balance, u should check out my breakdown of the mirage apperance when it surfaces later tonight. it would be in my thread "shipdesign analysis"
guilty :PQuote:

I have one track which seems like absolute silence the whole time I am playing with it on:
Tin There (Underworld Edit)
The others are always too loud for my parents. :g
In my recent online adventures I've often been using mirage. After the patch it felt like the only ship that remained consistent. Getting on for 100,000 loyalty points now. I never thought that day would come. Although I don't think I'm doing you too proud. I generally mix it up between Goteki and Mirage now depending on how serious the racing is.Quote:

Question, or your opinion:
I was in an intense race yesterday, neck and neck...loving the thrill.
Last stretch on the last lap (dont remember the track, think uber mall). I'm in 2nd picked up some rockets shot them. Elimination before the finish line ("Yeah Baby!"), i feel all warm inside seeing the green txt confirming my emilination, only to see the results as his destroyed ship crossed the finish line and HE GOT 1st!
That glorious moment came crashing down, all i could do was laugh.
So the question;
Was it lag?
Or does your ship qualify crossing the finish when destroyed?
thanks for your input everyone :)
If the wreck crosses the line, he finishes the race. Yeldar and I had some fun doing this this past week or so. :) (I finished right behind him when he blew me up, or did I blow myself up I don't remember. :?)
If the Eliminated AG Craft crosses before you. it wins.
Im notorious for doing this. Ive done it at least 6-7 times in legit races.
i like your shield management strategy vartazian :+
That happened to me on Anulpha the once. Think it was someone on here who shot me with rockets (possibly Ih8U) but I still managed to cross the line in 1st place.
Notihing worse than getting shot just before the line though and ending up in 7th or 8th place which has also happened to me (and more than once :rolleyes:)
Never leave anything in the tank when you cross the line ;)
There is worse: a PS3 freeze just as you're about to cross the line and win
Well it's good to know, i was just curious.
i like Vartazian's thought, (which i always practice anyway).
Its actually kind of fun Ive done this countless times (the 6 or 7 when I get eliminated by another are awesome too) but If I know Im gonna win the race and got like 2 Shield left I love slamming into the wall and letting my craft "Explode" across the finish line.
Im suprised AG Systems hasnt booted me off their team yet :cold
Since the patch, I can safely say I had no problems whatsoever with racing online. That is... until today.
People were jumping ahead of me for no apparent reason, stopping, falling behind, over and over again; I got freezes when someone left, enetered or used a boost; weapon pads wouldn't respond unless you stopped directly over their centre for approximately 6.3 seconds* and I experienced many, many strange bomb detonations.
And then I won one. Ubermall, rapier, which is strange because I suck at Ubermall and generally stick to flash online. When I joined it was flash Metropia. This cheered me up a bit and I decided to plough through the potentially tedious races for the next win.
It came, Flash Anulpha Pass. After many 3rds and 4ths, I was literally leaving them in the dust. It was good.
Then they started dropping like flies, leaving the game until I couldn't see myself in the middle of the podium, nor my inevitable 'Successful Pacifist' badge, only 'You are the last remaining player'. You know something's wrong when a game tells you to quit.
It hurt. Am I merely beginning to outgrow my fellow Flash flyers? I don't think so, as I struggle on the harder courses and every first place is usually proceeded by several 3rds. Was I unlucky to stumble upon a room of sore losers, or were they right to deny me my desired 1st place?
*This may or may not be true
EDIT: Online is MUCH less problematic at midnight.
Well since the patch i had my first 1st place tie in a tourney. I congratulated my fellow racer (1 on 1 tourney-Icaras & Assegai)...but i guess he didnt take kindly to being tied since he abruptly left and never responded...
It's rare (for me) to find good pilots that are sore loosers, especially when equally matched. That's one aspect of wipeout i really like, overall repectfull and humble pilots.
Hello DividedXZero, how are you? (Tell me when you want to play)
I remember like the day after the patch, I did an 8 player tourney and I won ...
along with 2 other pilots!! Was incredible having 3 players tied, at least the game is well
made and it shows them all as #1.
Hold back your citicism, this topic isn't about me :P
Any of you noticed that Harimau blue livery's pilot is a white ghost? :bat Or am I just tripping?
EDIT: I realize this doesn't require a thread of its own, can it be moved to http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5273? Sorry about that!
Vista pads.
