Do the weapon respawns repeat themselves? Ive always wanted to know.
I swear, once i get a boost, if i get only the same weapon pad each lap they repeat.

who is AHHH-QUADZILLA
Do they repeat? Sometimes. Actually I've had some that repeat lap after lap and I've had some that change. I'm guessing that's about as random as it gets. Way too few Quakes though!:blarg
are there other cases of track modification a part metropia case?
I have a problem. Yesterday I went to one of my friends hoping for a couple of hours of w’o’’HD online. The thing is that when I entered the lobby even dough I had my ship selected the game started without me and a message that I have to join another game appeared[ in the upper left corner usually the name of the host should appear, this time it didn’t]. When I made a game I did manage to enter the race , but never in someone else’s race. I got a call this morning and it seems that now he doesn’t even sees the the games(lobbies). I know he didn’t had 50 friend in the list so the bug shouldn’t be caused by this, should it ? I don’t know what happens, it never happened before. Does anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas of what it may be causing it and how to remedy the problem? Thanks
Sounds like the new game patch.
The online games auto start now 1.20 minutes after the 4th person to join.
What probably happened to you was you were just a little to late to join that game so it didn't let you join, even though you might of thought you were in it.
With your friend or you not being able to see the name up in the lobby,that can happen if the host has the friends filter applied and the friend trying to join in the race has only recently been added to the host's friends list.
Just wondering what tactics some of you use when neck and neck with someone to barge them out the way.
Do you turn into them/sideshift or keep your line?
Im asking this as im getting bullied a lot and have had enough of it.:lol
I think i have been very brave in sharing my inner feelings with you.:redface:
I think a lot of ramming is accidental, and I don`t know of any really fast pilots who use it as a main tactic.
I never deliberately ram people, even side by side on the ramp at Anulpha Pass. Well, unless they started it. I`ve heard that sideshifting people can work, but really I think it`s better to just focus on your direction.
But mostly when I do get rammed, deliberately or not, I just try to stay cool and focus on my racing line. Back off slightly if necessary then take them with a good line on the next turn. If it`s someone who is slower than you, but tries to win by ramming you off the track or into the walls, and they succeed once and it costs you the chance of winning the race, then my advice is just pick up some weapons and hunt them down like a dog until you hear the magic words. Contender Eliminated. :D
Thanks Lunar
Some racers seem to veer off their line totally to come after me, but i never do as it wastes too much time.Unfortunately i always seem to come worse off. I guess ill have to toughen up a bit.
Interesting you mention that because i think that does actually happen. If you doing the average speed per lap going on the same racing line as the previous lap and going on the exact weapon pads and using them as frequenly as before you do get the same weapons as in the previous laps. Its a case of Deja Vu alot. There probably some math system that'll prove this case to be true, but you right there.Quote:

good question.
i noticed while racing pirhapac that he was always boosting ahead of me, even if i got a boost start.
whats that all about.
^ it may just be a timing thing, i've noticed in the lower speed classes the controller sometimes vibrates a second time after the boost start, but doesnt happen so often in rapier/phantom.
As for always coming off second best in a ramming contest, i think thats mainly due to lag. Maybe you guys dont experience it too bad as your racing ppl relatvley close, but im usually racing hollow people, and when they do ram, it seems they are on a weird line and completely immovable (its not nice being pushed aside by an assegai while your in a triakis ;))
ok in meantime someone come and bring some light in that "mysterious quick start airbrake method " i'll try it myself too for understand if it exist and work for real, and i've another question:
my game stutter and lose some frame only and i reapeat just ONLY in one place in the entire game, in faster classes metropia forward, i reapeat only forward when you pass the last very large hairpin in the " bee like " dark and yellow stripped section just before the start grid section, do you have understand where ok?
and most important this stutter have appeared suddenly a certain day and wasn't there from day one , i'm sure 100% of this because it's very noticeable now and happens everytime i race in that place and first times i had play the game it wasn't exist
what it could be? ( note: i haven't download the new 1.2 patch yet )
no, no, i mean considerably faster than everyone, flying from 3rd/4th on the grid to 1st, and being on the first corner before the rest of us get there. i swear, some matey on anulpha pass reverse was on the long right hander before wed finished the first chicane, absolutely flew off the line.Quote:

i think i'll past the night trying to discover how it could work
ha?for my quick start i just press X just just after "go!"..thats all lolQuote:

Seriously are you guys joking??
As far as i can see im hitting it bang on go, but i have never, ever noticed my ship getting an even bigger boost. Especially not to the degree that some people get.
While racing with wellington yesterday one guy in particular was flying off the line.
ooohh thk im new in this game (.....)but i keep my "just just after go!"Quote:

ok, excuse me if i do a break on the main daily topic, but i've a question:
some times ago i had verified in 2 player multiplayer that when hit an icaras straight on its back with a plasma shot it loses 47% of its shield
today when i'm racing, ( chengou p. ) just after the start i've picked up a plasma on the first or second grid ,don't remeber well, but i've shot the plasma and i've hit the icaras just before me , destroying it ( i know a case over a million, sincerelly i'm not a good shooter )
now, i'm sure 99.9 % that that icaras haven't got any damage before since the race have just start from about few seconds...
sincerelly i'm quite confused now:dizzy
game phisics and stats changes depending if you race in one player mode or against a human in 2 player, or what else?
could some of the programmer come down and tell a word about this , colin? crob?
If you hit it just right you'll see the exhaust flare up. For whatever reason last night I couldn't get my timing right on any races.
Hello,
I apologize if this has been asked/answered before.
Online, depending on race class and the strength of the other racers, if I have an aggressive opponent who has been behind me for a while, I'll sometimes let go of the accelerator and will let them pass. Then, I'll hit them with missiles, rockets, quake, or whatever I have on hand.
I have no reason to believe that the opponent can't hear the "sonic boom" that sounds when I press the accelerator again.... it's just that I've never really heard that sound from other ships in a race and was wondering if it could be heard at all.
Thanks!
Damage done to other craft is dependent on how close you are to that craft when you shoot them.
You notice that the most when you play it cockpit view,if somebody hits you with a cannon for example,the craft will shudder to varying degrees depending on how close the attacking craft is.
If they are really close it is very hard to see where you are going,and you are hoping for a weapon pad pick up to absorb quickly as you shield energy has got really low.
you still responding to me blackwidge?
if yes i tell you, i've done some test about how much a ship lose when hit by weapons, in 2 player i've shoted a plasma right on the back of the icaras at close close range ,i've attached the triakis right behind the icaras at few cm ( i was " playing " alone in 2 player ) and then shot, icaras have lost 47% , try yourself and see
then yesterday i've crippled an icaras in single race mode with only one shot of plasma, 8/10 sec after start...pretty foggy fact
Perhaps it does more damage online to balance out the potential lag?
I have some questions.
Does anyone know how much damage each weapon does? Also I read in this thread that mines and bombs linger for about 10 seconds, is this correct? Will the bomb blow up by itself even if its not triggered by a ag-racer?
When do the acceleration of the craft come into play? Is it only after you come off full throttle and floor it again or does the acceleration factor kick in when you hit speed bumps and/or use the speed bost "weapon"?
Is it possible to use the "pilot help" (the thing that keeps you off the walls) online? I suspect that it is possible but I dont like it. Can I when hosting a game turn it off for everyone in the settings?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone can use pilot assist online, but it limits you to 98% thrust. Plus the quick lines are often close to the wall, so i wouldnt worry about it online.
No you cant turn it off as the host.
Acceleration applies to the ship. You know, how fast it gets up to top speed? :)
Couldnt tell you exactly the damage of each, but an estimate of damage in order goes - plasma / quake / bomb / rockets (if all 3 hit) / mines (if hit all of them) / leech beam / missile / cannon
Mines stay for around five seconds, bombs for around twenty.
It might be nice if bombs stayed for at least one lap - then if you were last, at least it might be of some use :p
I thought your bomb lasted a whole lap.
I swear i come around to see my own bomb blow up moments before i reach it.
That's because a lap lasts around twenty seconds :P
i've a question that going around my head from date
why there's a F7200 ag-sys craft silhouette together with the quirex and feisar one on the FX350 logo? what's the sense?
does anyone else almost always have bad aliasing? I notice this before every race, in first-person mode, while the camera moves around. oh well, still the best game ever.
oh friend! what a coincidence! i've just finish in another post ( the 1.2 patch one ) writing about bad aliasing , white snowing effect and frame loss problems
so for respond to you YES i have bad aliasing problems
This is more of a random HD statement than a question.
anyway DO NOT change your PSN sign-in id (email address) for your PSN account or you may get error 80022D11, which occurs when you try to boot a trophy-enabled game, such as Wipeout HD.
I couldn`t boot the game at all, my HD save is corrupted and I had to start again to unlock everything :( At least with novice mode it`s possible to unlock a LOT quite quickly, but losing all of your ghosts, records and campaign progress is *tests forum swear filter*
this a Playstation problem, not a Wipeout HD problem, of course.
Oh, you can't change it back?
Log in with the old account, shouldn't everything be good then?
at what about you still refering lunar?
I thought that might work, Jay, but this error corrupts your save file. It`s a problem with the Trophy system, I think, not limited to HD. The only way to get rid of it and get trophy games to run is to delete your PS3 user account and the saves. If you backup the save, make a new account, and restore, the problem returns. I could have probably restored the ghosts, but I will set new ones anyway.
I suppose the lesson is: backup your stuff. A save from before the corruption occurred would probably have been ok. Anyway I hope people have been warned not to change sign in email address because it`s pretty annoying.
