Wow! :g Great races on kai yesterday. I raced Asayyeah, Rapier Racer, Dag, SPK, q_dmc12, MrX. Hmm... maybe I forgot someone, or made other mistakes in that list. If so, please correct me.
I had some really wonderful fights with Dag (screw you Dag! :D), in which my ship sometimes got so excited that it burst into flames. :bomb
Thank you guys for a great evening!
Back on Kai tonight lads, hope to see you all online :)
here we go Charlie :) something 's telling me that tonight will be a good one ( like yesterday where i got a good fun with my Ag , doing some new scary records ...hmmm that 22.47 koltiwa phantom :dizzy
Dag won't be here borell but be sure his 'ghost' will be flying somewhere around us tonight :nod
Hey, played some kai last night and some single player games(single race), very bad news, I'm sure you know but haven't had the heart to admit. Complete bs. Barrell rolls not working when anyone is near on any lap. You need a good lead to get them, not to mention they still don't work every time. Don't tell me I'm not doing it right when I can do it on time trial by myself no problem. Not only does it not work, you slow down because it did not work!! Now this needs to be out of the next game. Don't give us a cool feature like this only for it to work half assed. Either this was programmed in(if it was I will be the first to call the person an grade a A-hole), or more likely there is too much going on on the screen at once or it is a bug. Either way, I'd like to know why exactly this bug occurs. Now if there were any more downloads, this serious error could be fixed, and should be the first thing to be fixed before adding anything else. There seems to be something really stupid in every wipeout game no matter how good the rest of the game is, and I don't mean minor errors. It's time to get it right next time.
Wipeout 1 ridiculous wall non scrape
wipeout xl running into invisible ships, brake tapping speeds you up(what!)
wipeout 3 turbo scrape on wall(stupid)
wipeout 64(gee, lets take out the time trial races, and not give any decent weapons to the person in first place)
wipeout fusion Let make it like a car game, that's what the fans want.
wipeout pure. lets not listen about the floaty feel even though they were infuriated at fusion, they won't notice and if they do, screw them. Oh, and lets make this really cool feature only work some of the time.
I don't think you guys will be seeing me on kai,Unless time trial works better that is. this sort of bullshit infuriates me too much. Doing the move perfectly to get the turbo only to slow down instead. This is the sort of stuff that should be in mario kart.
Now I feel better.
sorry Al, but Barrel Rolls work normally in kai/multiplayer, in SR just as well as they do in TT. I`ve played probably over 60 hours on kai and never seen this bug happen. It`s only in single player single races that this barrel roll bug occurs, the same bug really doesn`t exist in multiplayer. I`m sure the other kai players will back me up on this point. Check out Arnaud`s videos if you don`t believe me - you`ll see all the ships in a pack barrel rolling madly all round the track, honestly. It`s possible your timing could have been affected by lag, but really I`ve never seen this, though I`ve seen it lots in single player races of course, and it is annoying there.
I was testing with 2 psp's putting one ship ahead of the other and trying it that way. I'll have to give it a go with other people. I did play single player most of my testing, and that was complete garbage, with barrell roll not working most of the time, even when I was leading. That is good to hear. I didn't play kai much and probably made a bad judgement based on a few runs, but last time I did on time trial, it wasn't working every time(not as bad as single player though). I'll give it another shot tonight hopefully someone is on. CAnt play for long though.
Maybe ( but honestly i don't think it is) SR kai is also affected by that buggy BR you mentionned but we are so rarely racing SR : less than 1% for my total playtime on Kai. The reason is simple we're enjoying much more tournaments cause we don't have to wait to host again after the end of the SR: doing SR and you simply have too much time wasted by connecting & loading.
So when we will be racing next time we ll choose a tour at mini 4 tracks in it. After spending time on few tours, you will be able to tell us if this happend or not ( doing BR or not).
But i think the possible explanation maybe there : i am convinced that downgraded psp affect the whole game when playing on kai.
Not only those who are getting at 333 their psp but also those who are choosing 222 or 266 ( those last 2 affect less the game but always have a slightly incidence on it) and from time to time the user of 1.5 experimenting himself bugs like screen moving strangly or not getting any weapons or even not doing BR.
I know you have a 1.5 psp that could come from that.
I won't be online tonight (ermmm i will if Al is ok but not too late ) then let's be ready for Friday Session with Dag starting around 9pm GMT tomorrow
Hi guys, actually i have started a special training with my friend, he likes Zone Ship and one other...
When he will have enough money he thinks to buy a DWL.... :g Enjoy another french player (...maybe if no problem become!)
:+
That is very possible. I am going to try a tourney one player tonight to see if this is the case in tourneys.
at what time will you be ok playing today cause i can be free from 8 to 11 pm GMT , this is maybe a bit too early for you Al ?
It's not possible that the occurrence of this bug is varied between the different versions of Pure is it? I've not experienced it on Kai but on single player against the AI it occasionally happens
haven't had the BR problem on SR/Tourney on kai and it does happen in single player alot. What i do is instead of pressing lrl / rlr on the d-pad slowly, i rock it back and forth (keep doing it quickly/furiously) n it works. :nod
try it and see what happens
I`m going to try to get on Kai later, so will test with you Al if you`re there. Honestly I`ve never had any BR problems in multiplayer, it works like TT, but in Single Player Races I`m very familiar with it :(
I agree with you Asa about the firmwares. It all runs best when everyone is on official Sony firmware at the same CPU speed: either all players above or all below 3.0. In the early days of Pure on kai, when everyone had the same firmware, there was hardly any lag or weirdness at all.
I can`t make tomorrow night or saturday sessions unfortunately, you will have to find someone else for plasma target practice ;)
Starting Friday session in the next 20 min , see you there those who can ;)
hey if anyone is still interested in kai, just head over there
I will be on kai tonight but last night I was looking for my stuff for kai for nearly two hours! So this morning and I found it after 10mins!
Must be the drink thing!
stevie:)
Lol Stevie : when i see ya asking me last night on kai : ' you know where's my DWL stuff is ? ' i immediately thought : ' damn he is pissed as a fart even cannie see where is plugged his own Dlink' :D
Seriously speaking last night was a great night on Kai
We immediately started a descension at 5 with fellow pilots Tom, RR, 513 (Borell), Dag & me : absolutely smooth as silk racing ( like you said Tom) : perfect condition racing
Then a quick classique2 ( still at 5) where team Le Havre has been defeated :frown: severly by the 3 other hungry pilots : good job guys :+
Stin, zoolander and MrX dropped in Kai
We joined Al's khara descent SR ( his fav track) for a fight at 6 and then at 5 : Al beated me twice : congrats Khara's crown is for ya mate :cake
We finished the night playing at 5 then 4 with MrX ( winner of that alpha tour : bloody him ;) , he shooted my poor AG on my precious track = BR)
I must recognize everyone improved their skill , special mention to 513 who was really fast as a bullet on few tracks
See ya tonight around midnight guys :cowboy
In between those races I luckily beat tom. I was having a great race and hit that middle pole turboing at the split on lap 2. ship went straight up in the air for about 5 seconds without respawning. It took me two laps to catch up. Quick question, best route for that track that you can ride on the suspended really thin bridge for a while in the delta league? Do you ride on it the whole way?, jump off and turbo?
Meeting you on kai, Asayyeah, is usually only a matter of meeting you in the chat room, on the track I barely ever see you! :) So it was a delight to get into some fights yesterday, if only for a lap, or two. :D
Most frustrating moment spent with Dag yesterday: Racing down the track at high speed, I spotted a bomb. With extraterrestrial reflexes I barely managed to steer away from it. When I'm on the side of the bomb, Dag shows up from behind and as he passes me he hits me so that I am pushed into the bomb! :bomb On top of all, my shield was low and my ship explodes. Grrr... :mad: I had my revenge with the plasma, though. :g
Unfortunately, I cannot make it tonight... some friends here in Bern call for my attention. Even if I make it home in time for the session, I will most probably have beer induced problems with racing. :beer
Indeed, that was a fine race we had Jabberjaw. If I recall it correctly, you quickly gained on me with some barrel rolls, but then I caught up to you and went past after you hit that middle pole. I then had two, for my modest skills ;), good laps and we passed the finish line with barely a second in between our two ships. Great fun! :)Quote:
