hello guys
i want to ask which ship is the best use for time trial in meltdown ?
i have 2 tracks there which they are horrible driving me carazy
viena k 5 laps and that other one is one on the up left
thnx
Use the ship you are most comfortable with. There's no "best ship" in WipEout HD, though for time trials if you want look at the leaderboards and use the same ship as the person who has #1 world record (But really you can do it with any ship)
Practise is key, do speed laps until you are able to do near perfect laps with all the barrel rolls and never slowing down (Letting go of the thrust button.)
Then you'll beat the campaign no problem.
Hi
I achieved campagin legend long time ago my best ship is icaras (silver)
Just need finish two stages in meltdown on skilled diff.
I have them finished on novice only (gold)
Barrel roll doing me problems in vieneta k
Well I had noticed this a while back, and last night while i finished my dinner and let WO run its demo showing the tracks and so forth, i realized how prevalant this was.
From various structures like the Tech de Ra dome, the Auricom ad in (Amphesium i believe), parts of the track, an active ship shield, and even Assegai's outer skin structure.
Why the hexagon, honeycomb design?
It's a constant throughout the game.
Is it its functionality and versatility in design?
Easy to work with whatever software they use to Create wipeout?
Is it technically needed? (Since it's not everywhere and used for everything, yet used a lot though)
Or is it just a personal preference of SL?
-Thoughts, comments, opinions... :)
Hexagon madness started in Pulse ;)
True...i forgot about that, but in HD i can see it so much more than in my psp screen. ;)
And that makes sense, considering many HD/Fury tracks are derived from the Pulse game.
But why the hexagons?
Because they have six sides. :g
No idea, maybe it's to have a more "futuristic" feel. Look at the Pulse site, it's pretty awesome IMO.
yeah, i've seen it. I was just looking for theories as to why that shape was chosen for so many design aspects. It is a nice different approach to our standard over use of squares and rectangles.
Look around you, lots of squares and retangles all over the place.
Frame around your computer screen, stair steps, pc towers, billboards, books, filling cabinets, ceiling tiles, calendars..etc...etc...
I'd like an architech's point of view... ;)
That honeycomb structure is prized for its weight to strength ratio.
Actually my PC tower is the Antec Nine Hundred, which has plenty of hexagons on it :D
Yes, but you see what i mean. The overall outline and even the front is sectioned off into rectangles. :)Quote:

have you ever listen about geodetic domes?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_dome
quite futuristic and charateristic kind of structure, the engineers still study the real applications of these structures, i've watch a documentary on discovery last night about the plan in the near future to cover the entire city of austin ( i think was austin, i'm not sure of remenber well ) with such dome
believe me, when SL tell us that they have talked with futurologist and they have studied various fields to develop the game environments , they don't say lies
Got AG Assassin yesterday... won't be online for a while
Why can't you change back to the original SL opening video? And why isn't there a proper opening video? :(
PS. That Austin dome thing, that was on Mega Engineering, right? lol that's cool... yeah, those things are all over Tech de Ra, there's one in the Amphi as well
yes :D it was on mega engineering right :+
an yes that domes actually are the idroponic greenhouses of tech de ra, since it is in fact an idroponic farm where around has been built the track
and a couple of them are on amphiseum too, the climate would been not much different since it is in nevada...and i think nevada of the 23th century...umm
Does anyone know how to get the timer when starting a game online to go to 15 seconds or so because I can't find how to do that.
When you have 4 or more players, just leave the game idle and you'll eventually get the 15 second countdown.
Hey, has anyone noticed this: The Modesto Heights starting grid, that pointy thingy above the track, it says 2197 on the bottom like in the Pure Vineta K... thought it was 2207 now 0_o
@farside..as far as i am aware, you got to win on phantom speed only elite seting..rapier wont work for that trophey..:hyper
2197 is the start of the FX-300, or WipEout PurE. Modesto Heights is a track from WipEout PurE. It is probably the inauguration date.Quote:

they are only timed I've run into a fe left by players lagging behind but they seem to stay around for about... 20-25 seconds like someone undoubtably said.Quote:

I've since gone through on Phantom anyway just to make it honest but the trophy is definitely screwed up.
well that's not good, still......*rushes to finish it before an update fixes it*
Anyone tried this?
In Detonator, just after you clear Stage 14, pause and go to Photo mode, then go back and unpause: The camera won't stick at the start line like it usually does, it'll follow the ship through the dark! :hyper You can see the EMP pads, a little bit of the sound waves on the billboards and that's about it. But it's cool to look at... just did it on Anulpha Pass
Useless question: why Icaras Fury (FX450, perhaps?) AG ship doesn't have an hull made of futuristic composite materials like the others, but rather of the plastic-looking alloy used for hulls of HD ships.
Short R&D budgets, perhaps?
Not sure if this mock-up of a potential disc-format Fury has been posted yet:

(Yes, that logo at the bottom is a bit of mockery!)
Nice! I'd love to see that product on sale.
Nice fake. That would be the worst cover ever.
Love the State Farm Insurance logo...LOL.
Indeed. that was a nice touch.
On time trails. Is it best to use the turbo straight away at the start on the first lap to get to max speed and save time.
I don`t think so. On a lot of tracks you really need to save your turbo for a shortcut where you can save a lot of time, or there are more beneficial places where you can get speed with the turbo in a slow section or reduce airtime. In a Triakis, though, which takes 3 laps to reach full speed, you could have a point ;)
Does anybody know if something is being done with the records not updating? It's getting quite annoying not being able to distinguish between an on-line race and a single race.
don't know anything about that...hope so...
is anyone else getting MASSIVE bouts of what seems to be 30FPS slowdown action? I know there has been some slowdown in places since fury but today on several occasions i went for at leat 1/2 a lap with the most juddery gameplay i've ever experienced in WOHD. it's quite good fun actually but i was a bit surprised at the time...
Not such a question, but some my records are now updating now (ie. no double syncing issues).
woohoo! good news there :+
oh... so i'm not the only one whos having problems with the records table... lol it doesnt update my new records :S it sucks
Im getting it a lot as well. Hope it improves soon.Quote:
