cheers CG - these two trophies look like they are gonna be very hard !
update : i have now got Airbraker-which i thought was gonna be the difficult one, has anyone gone on to do Zone Zeus (75 zones) with just the airbrakes ?Quote:

Don't forget you can adjust the air brake sensitivity, a lower % = more sensitive.
You want to get as many perfect zones as possible before you start losing it and have to make larger adjustment via D-Pad or stick, so play it like you did Airbreaker for as long as possible.
Turning the music and HUD effect both off tends to help.
It's pretty safe to say that most people did Zone Zeus on Anulpa Pass forward, as Syncopia wasn't available till the FURY pack came out.

at the moment i'm up to zone 58.
i will turn the airbrakes down as i have them at 100% -i think that will help a lot :+
i dont know if you remember but i use full motion control so i have turned that down to 40% which seems to be helping
thanks for your advice
(Leech beam)
I agree. It does not slow your opponent down at all and it "lets go" far to easily. I say absorb and start looking for the next red X :pQuote:

i love to use it, and it's not bugged if u have a lag-free room!
Leech beam works best on people in front of you that you know tend to barrel roll a lot, then if you hit them with it, it can make them need go for the next weapons pad instead of the next speed pad [they tend to be close to each other], so you can grab the next speed pad and either get ahead or at least level.
It's the one weapon where you need to know your opponents likely moves to be effective if your running in the fist 3, otherwise you might as well absorb.
The most effective use is on some poor sod that has just regenerated after being eliminated, usually eliminating them a second time.:twisted
Or somebody you have just watched getting smashed with some other weapon or run into mines/bomb.
Interesting reading blackwiggle and Jan, makes me want to practice using them more. I usually just absorb them in races, but in Eliminators they're much more powerful. They're a waste of time against the top Elim players though, because they're never without the ability to shield for more than a few seconds a lap.
Yeah.... i'm endangered species:coldQuote:

Is there a WOZ IRC? Because there definitely should be.
on some lap times in the records i have a little white star next to it....
perfect lap?????
cheers
exactly ! ;)
cheers mate
I just gotHD the other day after playing pulse and pure for so long, love the game save for one thing. What the hell is up with weight of certian ships? For whatever reason they changed the collision physics so now you can push people out of the way and bully them. I had my piranha run off the track by a fisar for christ sake. Can anyone explain to me if there are heavier ships than others or how to deal with such garbage mechanics? thanks
I've read some comments here or on others videogame forums and it seems that wipeout HD have a great reputation for players who discovers it !
They often download it because of the welcome back offer and because friends advice them to do.
It's a shame how wipeout HD lacked of visibility at first release ! We, longtime fans, were sure about the quality of the game, but maybe the mass market also had some chance to elect it as a must have :?
I hope the welcome back offer and the buzz around the releasing of vita and 2048 will attract bunch of new players. Fusion's sales must be crushed !! :banzai
@turbovec - Those ramming issues are essentialy due to lag
@leunbok; i'm still in the proces of convincing my friend, from dead nation and infamous i got him to infamous and doubting :D, and now he's leaning towards wipeout :nod
@turbovec; IMO that's just the other ships that have a designated path and would like to stay on that path, if you're on it, they will keep pushing until you get of their path (this is for single player though)
as for my own; WTF is zone battle?! i simply don't egt it, watched youtube vids and all, but i keep losing badly..... get to the zone ASAP, what's the best strategy to do so? barrel roll, get maximum amount of pads u can and boost when bar is full?
Cipher
in zone battle you want to get to the requierd zone first you collect energy when you go over speed pads that can be used as a sheild or boost you a couple zones. i suggest that you quickly use your energy in the begining of the race to get ahead of the peloton then save up your energy from the pads so you can boost many zones in rapid speed. it might take awhle to grasp it (still hard on me ) but its rewarding ill tell you that
@turbovec and @Cipher: I'm not sure about single player, I rarely play it and the AI is far behind lol but in online multiplayer the pushing is due to lag as leungbok sad. There is a thread somewhere in here about that.
The idea is that the other player has already been at that point but you see his ship let's say a second later. So when you ram it, it doesn't budge because he didn't when he was there, and only you are affected by this.
@edenpriest the early first boost is a nice tip, ty :) though i am quite good at avoiding barriers :p
@Chet_BG i don't experience lag, so i wouldn't know :p
@JFthebestjan i read those quite some time go, but they don't really contain a strategy except for barriers =/
thx all for info :)
Cipher
I know it is possible to listen to customized music while playing the game.
Is it possible to change the main menu's music?
No :g
YES; turn on the radio :D
ps3 itself not, but i wouldn't get why you'd stay in the menu for the lolz xD
Cipher
hehe, nice job ! ;)Quote:

Yes it can still take damage.
The only mode where you are invulnerable when absorbing a pickup is Eliminator, but then you also do not recover energy in that mode by doing that.
Strange question: Is there a possibility to update leaderboards manualy? My doesn't seem to update automatically :/
i don't htink so, but unplugging your internet and plugging it back in might work, i'd guess it would refresh the list =/
also have a question, how the hell do you get gold on detonator elite?!?!?! i barely managed to get bronze, but gold... jeez...
Greetz Apple-Guy
No it's not possible to update leader boards manually.
The bigger the online load, the longer it seems to take to update.
Detonator Gold [in Campaign ] is a bit of a pain to get, mainly because of the ability of destroying the bomb on some tracks.
Because it randomly appears any F*** where on the track, this can lead to it appearing in places that are impossible for you to shoot the bloody thing.
I had it once appear on Anulpha Pass at a place that was at the beginning of the place where you choose to go below or take the overpass, except it was much higher than the overpass, you couldn't have shot it in a million years.
I'm pretty sure Darkdrium wrote a tutorial on detonator mode, might be worth a search back for.
Otherwise this is a decent sized detonator mode thread that has answers, some from Paul Tweedle from Studio Liverpool among it.

Sorry, im sure this is a really dumb question but I have had it happen 2 times now :P Is it possible to *bump* someone out of an online tournament? I have had my "network connection" error out twice- pulling me right out of the tournament and both times I was winning by a loooong stretch. Im sure it's just my internet connection dropping but it just struck me as odd that I never have it drop at any other time (and the crowd always seems really pissed right before it happens :P )
Apologies in advance for not browsing through the thread before asking this but, does anyone know of any possible solutions or shortcuts to easier, more consistent BRs? I can pull em off more often then not(with dpad or stick) but i just wish there was an easier/thumb friendlier way lol.
@blackwiggle; thx
@triphyr3 i don't think so =/, i haven't seen such option yet
@4tonmantis if you enable sixaxis, you can just shake your controller to do a barrel roll, but there's quite a bit of delay so i stay with the stick =/
Cipher
@triphyr:There is no bump/kick player option in online. And even if there was,it can only be done when in the lobby,not when racing.
@4tonmatis:It is based on personal preference. If you feel comfortable using motion sensor, go ahead. If you find the analog sticks less awkward than the D-pad or vice versa,use it.
@4tonmantis If you by mistake heard somewhere that it's not possible to race with that on higher speeds than Flash... it's not true :g
btw. I don't know is there any delay for BR's... maybe it looked like this on my video, but nobody showed himself with hands and playing using Analog Stick/D-Pad.
Thanks guys - i didn't think that was the case it just struck me as odd. Then again im not sure how things were for you guys tonight but it was all kinds of weird online tonight :P i ended up "racing" in 2 tournaments i was actually waiting on and spectating (so of course i was DNF for all of the races because I wasn't actually racing ).... anyway, thanks again for the answer.
@zero3; i saw someone's youtube vid, and the delay was quite bad, i did try it though, but i couldn't bare with the delay on BR's, so i remain with the stick going left and right before a barrel roll xD
Greetz Cipher
@zero3 til recently ive been using harimau over my usual ag-s in phantom simply for the higher speed with great handling and to maybe help put up better times on SL. since the top spots are usually icaras on alot of tracks im convinced higher speed plays a fair role in better times, but im really digging harimau atm, it just feels perfect to me plus im happy with the results so far ;)
also the BRs on some occasions i find have quite a gnarly delay, at times ill mash out LRL at least 3-4 times(w/dpad or stick) whilst airborne and the BR just doesn't wanna come out or sometimes the ship will fly through the air and just as it lands the BR activates lol. idk maybe its just me but ive had more BR troubles in hd than any other wo game ive played
Some people just have a knack for doing BR's, I'm not one of them.
I'm pretty sure Subtotal uses full motion control for all his racing, so he's the one to ask about doing BR's that way, how he had the patience to learn how to race HD/FURY like that I don't know.
Don't forget that i'm too a full motion pilot :P
Just a quick question guys I thought the ads were removed ages ago but im hearing about Honda ads now. Were they added back? Im from NZ so never got them here so which country's get them now?
