ONLY AIRBRAKES TO ZONE 100 ? :eek
Printable View
But your friend has more than 59 perfect zones (I don't know his PSN id),
so it seems to contradict Wellington86 reasoning...
However I agree that the 94-15 score is probably valid.
I'll try an airbraker later, I'm pretty sure I had done the first 20 zones perfect
when I got the trophy.
How long has that 1006 zones score been sitting there?
About 2 days, some cheating toe-rag who's found a glitch. Seems a waste of time going for a zone record on Anuaphla pass (still need zone zeus).
Sort it out Sony Liverpool!
Well, since it is a cheat, it doesn't take out the fan in making a record. If it was a number closer to the real no.1, or 50 more with the same record it would be a preblem. I'm sure SL is working on it though!
just pretend its not there... as in no .2= no.1
isn't no.2 dodgy as well? i think it is but i can't remeber... i think it is
*ponders awhile*
edit: ignore me, i'm a fool
Assume that things look good. :P
ps: Don't ask. Thx.
I saw that 1006 Zone score as well, weird. I wonder how they do it. :O
Indeed. As soon as it's fixed, I'd appreciate it if someone explained how it's done... I'm really curious.
Oh man!! ProblemSolver managed to score more points than the cheater xtianoPL!!!
He's really the king of the zone. 118/88 is incredible...
Thanx mate! I'm close to my final destination; 120+ zones and 100+ perfect zones.
About the cheaters.
I don't consider xtianPL and Assphalt as cheaters, because they clearly showed
me that this was not their indention. Only those people who gain a real profit
from using the glitch are cheaters, esp. those who simple "run" the 75 zones
to get the Zeus trophy. I know people who have spent 50+ hours into ZONE
just to get the Zeus trophy.
And honestly, I don't think that being at No. 1 or 3 on the leaderboard of
ANULPHA PASS ZONE, by using the glitch, makes you proud of anything.
Quite the contrary is the case, I guess. The way xtianoPL and Assphalt did
it was right, because there was no question about whether they had used a
glitch or not. Assphalt contacted me straight via PSN and xtianoPL registered
at this message-board to tell about. The worst case would have been if they
had arranged all the things such that one cannot spot the glitch or if they had
gave away the glitch to the public. They didn't.
Yeah, I agree 100%, in fact I wanted to use another term than "cheater"
to name him, but didn't find any... maybe glitcher?
ProblemSolver, what do you think the limit is on how far you can get in da Zone?
The infinity, and beyond!

;)
@XtianoPL: Connavar already retracted his words about the cheaters. ;)
@H3avyM3tal: The absolute limit lays between zone 120 and 130. Two problems
arise; First, running 120 zone would imply to be up for 20 minutes, which is
already beyond anything in ZONE, it drains too much energy, your brain starts
to black out now and then in a discontinuous fashion.
Secondly, another problem comes from the game engine itself. The ZONE craft
starts to airborne a lot on zone 115+. Problem is, the ZONE craft isn't really built
for zone 120+ (1800km/h). A second problem is the wall collision code. One will
experience rather odd types of collision which distracts for a good portion if they
occur.
Under the current circumstances I might be able to do a 125 at its maximum.
I'm also considering to finish the hunt on higher zones on AP upon reaching zone
120+, because ... hmm how should I say ... there has to be a limit, even for me.
A slight improvement might be possible if we could map the pitch to the right
analog stick, because it is impossible to precisely control the pitch using the left
analog stick (steering) or the motion part of the controller at very high speeds.
True :lol
ProblemSolver, I understand. However, since the craft gets airbourn alot in the 115+ parts, wouldn't it be possible to, say, glide over the last part in AP, or would that require you to let the overpass section alone and tackle the zigzag section more? I have to say that getting that far, regardless, seems to be very stressing (a health hazzard?) on the brain. zone 120 means not blinking for atleast 15 minutes (out of the 20 minutes).
I would say let AP rest and move on to other tracks. Don't conquer AP now that noone can compete with you. Conquering AP now would make your record somewhat an overkill, no? Let the competition grow, don't kill it in one fell swoop.
Zone 120... Mental, just ****ing mental. Hats off to you, sir.
The zigzag section is not an option, it's also quite too long to fly :bat over
it. The zigzag section by itself is not the problem, the problem is the sharp
steering angle required from the exit of the corner (the ramp) leading to
that section in comparison to go for the overpass. Quite funny, on zone
110+ you will likely fly off from the ramp until after the second billboard
on the overpass, depending on the take-off point. :dizzy I will do a barrel
role up there and make a screenshot. :D
Within the last four weeks I do only run about two times per week for about
1h (= three runs) on AP. Trying to run for three hours each second day, in
trying to run a 120, would be ... a hazard. I remember Flameshe (jp); the
second person who broke the 100 zone barrier; we agreed upon reaching
zone 110 on the first week of November. He played every day for about five
hours for a whole week if I remember correctly. He improved up to zone 104.
Two days later I have set a 106 and shortly therafter a 109. But suddenly he
stopped playing WOHD alltogether. :cold I guess he overpaced his action in
trying to run a 110, but I don't know for sure. One thing is also interesting;
non of those persons who broke the 100 zone barrier (like Flameshe,
Ave_Fausto, and B-MARRI) have ever really improved their results for over
four to five weeks now. And I don't think that Ave_Fausto simply drop the
ball on AP, because he, like Wellington, is a very good zoner. I congratulated
Ave_Fausto for reaching zone 100 and told him to keep up the good work ...,
but he never replied. :(
Honestly, I feel a bit bombed about myself on the current score on AP. I
think I've messed up the competition on my very own. :bomb However, it was
already my indention to leave AP for quite awhile after reaching zone 120+.
Perhaps I should ask SL to reset my score after I have reached that pretty
sick zone, such that the competition can grow by itself, I don't know....
If you ask me, I don't need the score and I don't need a HUD showing
the points or whatsoever. What drives me is the feeling you get upon
entering zone 100 on AP ... when you become one with the ZONE craft.
And only on AP you can go that far. I mean all the other tracks are quite
nice, too, I love them all, but the feeling doesn't hold for quite that long
on these tracks. ;) For example, VINETA K, once you are into the flow at
zone 60 the show is over about 10 zones later. :?
The ZONE mode has to be improved / extended. There should be a way to
prolong the time to run at a certain speed. I envision a multiplayer mode
for ZONE; will do a thread within the next month about it such that we can
talk together. For example, imagine to run in tandem trough ZONE by having
the possibility to transfer energy between the crafts. Or a mode were the
zones do only increase if a certain synchronization condition is satisfied,
for example, both craft have to run a given amount of time without touching
walls. It would be awesome to run with some good friends together in ZONE,
sharing the same experience at the same time. dream on boy....
Haha so breaking the zone 100+ is hazardous...
Have you tried Anulpha reverse too?
And another way to reach high zones would be new tracks (DLC)!
Yeah an online zone mode would be fantastic!
I got a lovely msg in my PSN inbox when i went online just then;
luxtonx,
It was very clear to me, and my friends. that you where obviously cheating! Your race line was awful, how you where achieving such lap times is beyond us, you cheating swine, we hope you rot in the pit of hailsham for eternity!!
My soon reply;
It is very clear to my that you are a stupidcnt, and you are obviously very **** at this game. There are faster racers out there quicker than i, check the global records, dumbcnt.
As eloquent as ever KIGO :lol
Why thank you.
Just sent the message then with an added sentence at the end;
"BTW its called lag, not a poor racing line. Idiot."
There called dexamphetamines, they help you concerntrate in all fields not only Wipeout zone mode. In France there probably called 'Le Concerntration Pill'. People who have ADHD or ADD, have this as there prescription medication to keep there abnormally high brain wave patterns down.
Hmm, my brother has ADHD, but you seriously don't want to take any of the pills he takes. My mom once took one accidentally. She became really hyperactive for most of the day and couldn't sleep at night. I guess it works the other way around on "normal" people. :hyper
Zone is the mode i like best in WipEout HD. My best Zone score is 78, but it's not even in the rankings because i had a higher score during a run in which i only got to zone 68 (a major crash ended my otherwise perfect race al little too early). I'm now trying to beat this score to get in the top 200. If it weren't for these glitches i would be in the top 200 already (last time i looked it was 202).
I'm a bit disappointed that the 1.26 patch didn't solved the glitch, and also the
the leaderboard for ANULPHA PASS isn't fixed. :( It's now over a month ago that
we know about the issue. I did everything to get that problem fixed (wrote a
full-fledged bug report, etc.). The Top10 of ANULPHA PASS looks so ugly!!!
To alleviate my frustration I nailed 81 zones onto VINETA K.
Have faith! And fantastic performance on Vineta-K!
Now how about the other tracks? :)
How exactly does this glitch work anyways? You just get stuck somewhere and it doesn't respawn you?
It's so sad that Sony can't fix this bug. Shame.
not exactly. being curious myself i spent the better part of an afternoon playing around with AP, different ship variations etc, and studied the leaderboards a bit.
was able to recreate what i believe to be the glitch very few others have experienced "accidentally". How is beyond me really...
I will gladly share once it's been patched to avoid public castration and hanging on this and other forums lol :bomb
A new attempt;
[Reference] Thread: V1.40 tomorrow! Post: 164
Let's hope.
what do you mean by "you have one month"?
what would you do if they don't do anything? boycot the zone mode?
you can't live without it, you know that!
He's kidding of course :)
What I would do? Well actually, I had a pretty nasty idea on what I would do
if SL wouldn't care about that issue within the next few month. My idea was
(is? xD) to create 10 different PSN logging accounts that have some words
in them that will give a nice little sentence / message if you would read them
on the leaderboard from top (rank 1) to bottom (rank 10). And I can assure
you that the content of that sentence would draw some attention to a lot of
magazines. :g xD
