Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

If you get the boost of speed between the BRs, you've touched the ground, even if it is only for a fraction of a second.

What I'm trying to do is to avoid any confusion: you cannot do two barrel rolls during the same jump.

Like I said, grab a turbo, head to Ubermall forward on the long straight and take off from the hill before the finish line. You will only be able to do a barrel roll once, and will not be able to perform one again until you've landed on the ground (Which means getting the burst of speed).

Not a question, but a confirmation:

In case anyone was wondering: Plasma destroys bombs (And most probably mines) on impact and keeps going after (Unlike a missile or a rocket, both of which are destroyed on impact).

Yeah, this just happened. :D I fired my plasma, the AI fired a bomb, it destroyed the bomb and hit him! :twisted

if you do, then you have 'touched' the ground, if you don't, then you can do 2 :)

Nonsense! As we all know, you only get a whooosh with a Wotsit. Don't they teach you kids anything in school these days?:lol

Random question - In online play, has anyone else ever felt like they were rammed and pushed through the track? I'm sure this happened to me the other day. Not over the side, just clean through it; was very strange indeed.

it could be, it could be, since A: plasma isn't a solid weapon, composed by parts and mechanism, like rockets and missiles ; B it is the most powerful weapon

Yes, several times. On Pulse, I sometimes get it in grid mode (but it's easier to catch up than on HD).

Just my 2 cents about the 2 brs story : that is possible to chain 2 brs but you ll have to slightly touch the ground between the 2, otherwise it seems impossible ( at least to me)
I can chain 2 brs on the final straight of vineta frwd ( thx Christian to show me the light ;) ) but i know i touched the ground.

Like Xavier said on a jump you can t BR twice in the air or someone will have to show me the vid ( zico's one you mentionned Christian, the ship clearly hits the ground between BR N°2 and 3)

Yes i believe you Arnaud & Xavier, it's a word battle in fact :lol let's called that chained br, then. ;)

I was on the wrong end of this last night; heard 'Plasma', started dumping mines and got blown off the track anyway.

EDIT: 'this' being plasma cutting through mines

less of a random question, more of an update on my previous random question a few pages back.

i previously mentioned losing all progress in campaign on my friends ps3, looked into it i had no problems with accounts or anything...just all the data gone. so i've almost re-completed the campaign...but it'll take forever to unlock all skins.

so i have no idea how it happened, but it did and it's bad.

You are not the only one Emerald , Stevie's son got the same erasing datas problem , although he can go online.
Maybe it's due to long inactivity or simply another weird bug...

i hope it's not a bug, i don't want that to happen to other players!!!

maybe they fixed it in that recent mystery patch.

Patch that we still have not got, by the way.

i've a question that spin around my head from some time

the AI ship does recharge their shield?

i remenber in pulse you can quite spot sometimes a ship in the mean it still recharging, and you can see the purple effect, but in HD i have never saw that

Yes they do absorb weapons they pick up.

are you sure? cause i swear you i never have seen any absorb a weapon

this, with the fact that respect the old wipeout games and the psp ones ( i cant talk for fusion which i don't own ) there is a very high elimination rate in races, did you noticed this? at least 1 craft get destroyed per race , almost everytime, when there aren't 2 or even 3!

Yes I am sure :) People get eliminated often because of heavy weapons fire and ship to ship damage.

ok friend, but i talk about the AI ship gets eliminated not people ship
bytheway then ok:+

Yes they do absorb, and I was talking about the AI ships as well. ;)

You should let the game idle and when it is a weapons on race you will see them absorb if you're lucky enough.

Is there anyway to contact studio liverpool? ive been searching the wipeout websites no e-mail in any of them:(

how can we reach them?to send sugestions or asking to solve some bug in the next patch?

How long have people ghosted at the start of online races? As in, when did this first become a feature? I know it's been that way for a good while now, I'm just wondering if this was brought in with a patch, maybe the latest one? It occurred to me again today as I remember I always used to get completely mugged at the first sharp left on chenghou if I even tried to take the corner properly, but that doesn't happen any more.
