I think I crossed Yeldar2097 today - and my connection was TERRIBLE. Made me so sad to sacrifice such a good racing opportunity.
Boo lag.

After so many bad races I deserve to be demoted from XIII to VIII :lolQuote:

Oh the joy of playing at home!! :g A cigarette and a glass of wine next to the sixaxis, to let the tension go once in a while :)
Played with SaturnReturn (thx for hosting these killer tourneys!!), Soccermums, Luxoflux, Chaos80, Andybob35, TarquinFarquar, Tordmulen, Alejess, silverfox073, z1r0rei, Feisar31, ... and sorry about the many others I can't remember right now. Thanks everyone!!
See you all on monday evening I hope (after that, maybe I should return the PS3 back at work... :))
Yours truly, wzFro. :g
yeah i was sorry not to have raced you more ih8you. there's always a next time
great races today with some great racers so thanks to all of you
sorry to have cut loose so soon, i had to go back early due to perilous conditions on the roads.
it's a shame really, i was beginning to feel right at home in my little (big) qirex.
Ah guillaume, you've certainly forgotten a few ;) I've been on yesterday as well for e few races, some pretty very fast ones!
I'm a bit stunned about the racing tactics of a lot of pilots though, it's like a warzone out there.. Lots of shoveling and tossing around, I'll need to find ways of dealing with that asap :P Like right now :)
See ya!
Think we met yesterday for a few nice races. I got the same impression. Also, for the last days I got slaughtered multiple times. I could not remember being shot to pieces this often - never, NEVER! As I prefer contactless driving in real life my abilities to adjust to heavy contact racing in WOHD needs to get improved, I think. Will this help in getting out of this mess?
Sorry about that! We indeed had some good races, and with Constrictor4U too!Quote:

I will not go into rant mode but the war driven racing I find pretty annoying to say the least...
The simple way of avoiding such pilots would be to turbo or br away and stay away but sadly the new and improved quake meddles with that :)
On the positive side I've only had 26 hours on HD so utter speed could be the answer ;)
I played against the elite AI today and it really felt like online with 8 contenders.
So I'm not sure the mess is only due to how pilots fly, the physics engine may also be responsible in some way. Like how a ship can push you from behind and in half a second make you face the wall on one side (sorry if this is bad worded...). If you add the sticky walls and the massive amount of damage you get from both walls and ships, it indeed gets pretty annoying (and makes pilot assist feel like some kind of patch instead of a feature, on a side note...)
Ah yes the AI, they often try to nose you out of their way like you weren't even there, but that is pretty easily overcome by countersteering :) I've not seen them try to shovel you off the track or into walls which some more human 'pilots' are doing.. Maybe shifting in return and nosing them into the gutter remedies this ;)
To sum up how I feel about this, I'd say there are three factors: physics engine, lag, and bullies :g
Totally different thing: I forgot to brag about eliminating Wellington86 on sebenco reverse. :D One long rocket shot at the end of the 'little turns' before it goes down and left, at the beginning of the track. I was just getting out of these chicanes, fired the rockets, and one of them reached Wellington when he was about to pass over the bonus pad. AG Assassin unlocked right there!
So... Thanks mate! :g
I will be online in a few minutes. See you all there!
Wauw those were very good tours with: SaturnReturn, Olouk, oolpro, Wellington, Greenix, Elois3, reachbig7, oeps I forgot who else, sorry!
The last tours were too tough, no getting through for me. 3 quakes and a bomb in the first lap kind of things. Well it was fun anyway.
Fiasco from yesterday: I set up a 12-race tournament and brought people in, only to have the PS3 freeze on me at the end of the first race. Which I had won! :)
So I'm gonna try again today, around 1PM GMT+1. Please join if you're interested in racing/getting the trophy if you haven't already, but only join if you have the time/will to do the whole tournament, and are at ease with phantom speed. Blackwiggle told me only 4 people finished the one from yesterday...
Btw, MarkXIII, there's no way you're gonna quit WipEout-best-game-ever(tm) because of this tourney! (more on that later ;))
Hope to have a full room in about one hour from now! (friends only, host wzFro, feel free to send friend requests)
EDIT: oops, operation cancelled, busy lunch break. Back on monday I guess!
Just made a few really hot races with osama-bin-haydn, soccermums and oolproo. as always, osama showed us some pain XD
haha. some great stuff. nicked a few extra wins at the death, and had a race entirely of bomb dodging corner, after corner on metropia :) cheers guys. Plus a great plasma shot on yourself from soccermums.
Some great 1on1s earlier in the day with djKyoto too... we should do that again! :)
so the plasma was soccermums... I shall remember that XD lol I got a turbo when i eared "Plasma" the moment I absorved it, i was hitted by that nasty plasma... result from 1st to 3rd with 3% shield XD I have to ask my wife again to film these races ;)
:banzai
That was a rather golden plasma down the long side on Ubermall reverse :)
... those were some good races, and you are right... Haydn did show us a lot of pain ...
thanks to everyone I raced with on the last couple of nights, and sorry to whoever sent me a PSN message after I went offline last night - it was deleted by a child before I could I read it so I can`t reply!
@ alterego - either I have got slower or you have been practising, Team Italy is looking strong ;)
I`m on online now, who wants to play with me?.
stevie:)
It's Monday now, and lunch break is on its way! :)
Hosting a 12-race phantom tournament at around 1PM GMT+1 (about an hour from now).
Please join, details are a few posts before this one.
See you on the tracks!
EDIT: Tourney over, thanks everyone: Aka-Sho, imre92, JJPAP, Luxoflux, oolproo, Wotan998 & Zoth-Ommog!
I didn't do so well but the races were fun and intense anyway. Trophy earned as a side bonus!
Yeah, great fun. Some really close races, where there wasn´t room for any mistakes. See you.
Well, I scored my 50th online kill the other day, so I'm going ignore online racing for a while and concentrate on the last few cells of the Elite Campaign.Quote:

The adrenaline really was pumping especially in that last tournament I was in where Yeldar had a really unlucky last race (thanks KGB :D ) and I stole the victory by 1 point...
Excellent stuff guys, that made my day! :beer
GREAT races, GREAT pilots, PERFECT tuesday afternoon! Cheers Guys!
Indeed, superb all the way guys! At first it was so tough to get through with the Icaras, but when I switched to Goteki45 again, everything changed! :banzai
i'm gonna get kgb for that.
quake, missile, mines, boom: story of my life....
good session all the same (your fish still isn't cool though greenix)
Come on folks redstar1993 hosting now. Help a fellow wiper out even if you have the trophy! % more racers needed. Send friend invite to redstar1993 and see you online!:banzai
Hey guys, anyone who wants to race for bling brigade (or just help... please), get your asses online now! we have 4/8 players already
just finished an epic day of HD, carrying on from the session greenix mentioned earlier.
thanks to all those who partook in my experience, you're almost certainly in my vids:)
My PS3 froze, sorry guys. :/
Good races with acrooklyn, yeldar, Constrictor4U, TarotCardKiller, SaturnReturn, JJPAP (Is that how it is?) and others I can't remember. ;)
EDIT: So that's why I couldn't find this thread, it's in the Pilot's Lounge... :? WTF
Just wanted to say thanks to Yeldar for hosting some fun races earlier. Other participants were TarotCardKiller, drMannevond, Z1rOrEi, acrooklyn, Toastor and subtotal. As my title indicates, this particular round of races were special for me, as they produced my very first victory on Phantom...and against some elite pilots! :rock It was only on Metropia forward, which I know isn't a difficult track, but still! Oh, and I was even able to snap a photo of the results as proof (also to print and frame haha), using my camera phone, which I've attached below...lol.
In addition, shortly before the online races I just spoke of, I finally got GOLD on Chengou Phantom Elite within Stage 8 of the campaign! What a day! :hyper
Man does it feel good to be back online! Had a couple of ace races today with Greenix, DrMannevond, Yeldar, reach_big, oolproo, and some others I don't remember (sorry :paperbag).
Yeah, I definitely need some practice again (haven't played for over a month!), but the fire is definitely still burning ;)
That was great fun! :hyper
Great to race you again eL, I've missed our races for soo long :( But now we can blow the crap out of each other all over again :D
Welcome back to the tracks bud
Thank you great races :D
see you on the track soon!
Stevie and I shall be online tonight, we will race under Stevie's account i think so, cause i haven't brought my ps3 with me in Scotland.
Or maybe creating a new account on his ps3 but exchanging accounts in between online races is simply not possible ( or not easy at all).
Looking forward to race you, pilots, under the Scottish flag :P
Have fun guys! Unfortunately I will not be there. I had a few races online which were really good. Especially with Soccermoms, every tour it was 1 point difference. What a fun we had. But a strange thing online the last weapon pad on Moa reverse did not work and the last weapon pad before the last tunnel in Vineta K has disappeared. Huh?
Okay, enjoy the time together Stevie and Arnaud, I know you will. Cheers, thumbs up for Stella.
hi all.
i want to tnx all my mates for the fun we have togheter during this evening in a long single race tour ;)
may the velocity be with you!
read you soon
cdrom
had a couple of awesome tournaments hosted by epsilon, pure carnage!!
several times i ended up facing the wrong way, greenix's harimau was bullying me, it was epic.
thanks to everyone who participated :) got MORE vids to show you (pushing 120)
Btw if you meet online someone called Scot-asa during this Scottish weekend that would be me ;), i dont remember my password of personal account so i needed to create one new at Stevie's place in order not to boggus his online stats.
Watch out guys, don't trust Scot-asa's trophies i can be dangerous :P
Which is something you need to get sorted IMMEDIATELY. I can't stress this enough.Quote:
