Ei, they do that to me. I enter a Phantom race then wonder why I'm going to slow and see it's only 4 laps :(

I often start the game, then when the timer hits between 2 to 5, someone joins, or someone leaves, very annoying.
Also, people are always quitting on me in the middle of tournaments so that I can't finish it.
For example, a 6 race tournament on flash, 4 players (including me) by then start of the 4th race there will be 2 left, assuming we get to the 4th race at all
race with people you know/recognise as no DCers from previous races online
or make sure there is at least one woz pilot - they won't DC .. in general ;)
i wasn't in the mood of racing but i spent one of my greatest night with pulse online.
Al motivated me to play for fun 2 of the 4 tracks from his April tourney in Usa : Metropia white ( remember Sox ? :D ) and Amphiseum white, i asked Stevie to join us and we started his dangerous tour 6 tracks ( 3 metro, 3 amphi)... 1st track big fight at 3 and Al didn't watched carefully his shield = BOOM at lap4 ! we did good racing , funnily enough i took Goteki and on those 2 tracks that ship is an ace ! I agree with RR & Sox : the flying Got' is the supership online :twisted : 2 big tours won !
I wanted to change from tracks and started a new set of tracks , Tears-of-shreds ( sorry for mispelling ) joined us : this pilot is very fast , i won the 1st tour at 4 tracks but he beat us on the last tour i created : congrats mate. :clap
Lol, yeah another dutch pilot is coming up strong. His forum name is 'Muse' I think. He should also go to the European Wipeout Convention 2008! I hope to see you all this weekend online.
Greetz Mad-Ice
Thanks guys. Had great fun racing yesterday. :) (Oh, and I most probably will be coming to the convention!)
I think tonight, I'll stay up late, slap a Phantom room up, and murder some of my US comrades. Maybe catch a couple game journalists cutting their teeth too. =p
Thanks Asa for interesting one lap race, 'Supreme G' for kicking everyone's bottom in O7, KANDANG for two nice starts, Frances_Penfold for keeping up and JABBERJAW for _few_ Metropias. :)
I'm sure there was someone I forgot...
Hi to Lunar and to Supersox and Jabberjaw for the fun flying to night :)
Sorry that I am so inexperienced with Phantom speeds-- I usually only race Flash and Rapier but am happy to join WOZ'ers at whatever speed they are playing.
Clearly, I need to practice Phantom more :eek
Damn you Francis Penfold for that Arc Prime finish :naughty ;)
I did just the same thing to another WOZoner the race before, so what goes around comes around! Sorry I disapeared after that, had to go, and when I came back I think you were probably in a tour. I`m not Phantom-ready either, but getting better thanks to AG Sys on Rapier. :)
I am having absolutely horrendous luck lately connecting to games/hosting them. Probably 75% of the time I'm "left in the lobby" (if indeed the game actually starts when I'm hosting...).
Anyone else having this problem? If not I guess It's likely something with my network.
I see mostly Assegais and AG-Systems whilst online but I always use a Piranha unless I meet the odd FEISAR, then I use Qirex because:
a:) It is faster
b:) I have a good skin
But I normally win anyway!!
Sorry Sox for not staying much longer but i was already racing for 3 hours last night and i needed my bed.
Again very interesting racing, i am amazed to see the skill-level of everyone which keeps increasing constantly : that is great
Thanks for the nice single races tonight q-dmc, technicolour and TRO2097 (I think that was your name). Good fun, great sport. :nod
Good races there tonight, but congrats to AmaZing to Medusa for beating ASA on Tech De Ra! :lol
Honestly, your game is actually improving and keep going! ;)
More to come tonight, hopefully.
stevie:g
Good races once again, Asa! I started out kinda slow because I didnt have a proper warmup, plus I'd spent the day playing the original Wipeout. Hope to catch you online again tomorrow. :) Oh, and one more thing: Bombs on the Tech de Ra bridge are a nightmare! >_<
lol True , Medusa and you completely ruined my precious race ;)
Also thx to the Muse and Emwu23 for being fast and furious :)
I need to watch few stuff on TV with matey Stevie and we possibly go back online later
Edit a sec later : sorry for the bomb , yours from Amphiseum weren't bad too ;)
I finally got online... as Northern_Raven
and used my Cocibolca-themed Assegai
and I finished in second place on Moa Therma Black :D
And guess who was first? ;) Sorry couldn`t resist. :paperbag
Your ship looks very very slick online, Kansas, look forward to racing you again.
btw did you find that race very laggy? My screen kept freezing for a second too. After a Phantom De Konstruct at 15fps with 1 freeze per lap I decided it was time to quit online. :dizzy
Welcome to the great online mode Kansas : silver on your 1st race that sounds promising!
We raced many SR tonight with Stevie , Emwu23 and Sox in phantom but i also played on slower class with various people which is always good to fight unknown skilled pilots.
Btw i liked the way Emwu hosted Vertica : he started with weapons on , immediately followed by weapons off where we were all close.
Hats off for Pavel who was the 1st to play weapons off :+
Yeah, it was interesting but, I`m not enjoying it because of my poor ability due too drunk to play! and I will cut down my drinking habits and concentrate on my racing.
Hopefully be online today or tonight but not for ASA cos, he is still in his bed!:sonar
stevie:D
Live for the moment, Stevie!:g
I'll be on in a few hours.
Thanks for great racing yesterday:Asa,Stin,Supersox.
Also thx to KiTTun and Muse and few others I dont remember.
LOL thanks all for the races, emwu, sox, asa, stin...I nearly had a heart attack on Tech de Ra! Only the second time I ever got ahead of you, asa! There was one time on Kai...flash...a long time ago.:sonar
Sorry q_dmc, I found your game just as my battery was getting low and I was getting locked in the lobby all the time.
I'm on half term now so I'll be on as much as posible
Hope to see you all online!
Who are those n00bs I was beating with the ugly stick last night?? - Nah, just kidding - thx for the races guys!!:clap
well since me and my friends have pulse now, and have been playing wipEout for some time, we would like to know how many USA players live around CT and are interested in having sort of an ongoing mini-tournament series of meetings. This is obviously still in early development but if we can find enough people it could be pretty cool to do in reality. i'm thinking weekends only, prizes, and other things as it comes to mind, let me know what you think
Thanks for that tour, Frances - my heart is thumping but I have to go to sleep now! 8)
That was you? Nice. Whoever was in third kept fighting me for second and that allowed you to get away from us. :oQuote:

See you around again soon :)
Thanks for the races KANDANG, apologies for my crappy racing and disconnect after the first race in the tourney, I got a connection error :\
I had nice sessions with Supersox yesterday.
Muse joined us later and it was great fun.
We finished up playing tournament with James_sp.
Thanks everybody.
btw:Supersox thx for showed me how I suppose to race Qirex
on Amphiseum Black ,hehe that was good.
hehe gg swift. no worries, i think the rest of them quit that tourney too after the first round.Quote:

**Update**
not too sure where to post this but,
14 wins, 0 losses 1 dc tonight and when i updated my profile
i got a -3 points deducted. help!
opponents played against included:
swift, bloseth, brica, e-kami, de_1337 from the top 40
very decent guys on the ranking tables, so it's not like I got free wins.
played against zargz yesterday but points remained the same.
sorry Kandang, i was in a 7 races tournament with you and another racer i don't remember the name (something like "freedom30"), and got through a strange bug after the race on Outpost 7 : endless replay (fullscreen with no menus) of my ship with a weird slowdown effect and just ambient noises. I could even hit your ship that was still on the track, frozen before the last chicane. Couldn't get to the 3rd race after the countdown !!!
I think it's DL packs related…
At least it's not firmware related like Pure, because we really don't need that again ;)
Thanks for the races Asayyeah, TearsToShreads, James_sp, T-Rex29 and bill29; was lots of fun racing really good pilots :D
Oh yeah this is fantastic and we are still racing atm
I must reckon i had so much fun and the races were pretty balanced against all of us : everyone has been leading and winning.
I remembered especially an impressive finish with your son Trex : the new generation of french pilot kicked my arse on Tech de Ra white with the smallest margin : 0.01 sec !!!
Tell him he rocks like everyone who was racing this afternoon :clap
The muse and I are now racing weapons off : same ship and it's pretty close !!
Wow and now Gemini Dam engaged : the most awesome track by far from Pulse, imnsho ( :D )
The races this evening were fantastic! Everyone seemed to have equal chances, although one on one Asa is still unbeatable. Gemini Dam is indeed a great track, I still suck at it though. Cheers to all you talented racers, hope to see you again later:).
