Yes lance, but you don't think that with rapier you're already familiar with wipeout gameplay ? After, i agree, you have to learn the way of racing at phantom speed with new trajectories, new turn's strategy etc. And in all the wipeouts too phantom is for experts, not for assisted guys. I'm not elitist, but it's a satisfaction to be able of racing well at phantom speed by his own skills, no ?Quote:

This does not change my position on Pilot Assist, which should be available as an option but should not be counted for official times in the records.
yes, i totally agree with you :+
thanks Kanar and Leungbok for some great Avalon racing tonight, and for the tour of the reverse tracks.
Kanar, the reason I said I enjoyed that Moa Therma so much was that on that race my custom music was playing Xpander and there were 3 of us chasing each other so closely for the whole 5 laps - it was a perfect moment! ;)

I think we've proven which nation is better, thank you very much. :D
By one point. Wow :O
I only had a handful of avalon races with you guys last night - unfortunately mdhay and I had some synchronisation problems it seems. He couldn't even see my lobby, and when he entered kanar's lobby, I couldn't enter any more, always got an error message... :(
Ah well, next time! I'll be racing in the next couple of hours, if anyone is interested.
great avalon's sessions last night with (of course) Kanar, Mad-Ice, Kaori, Lunar, Asa, El-Habib, Mdhay, Evolite, lots of guests and a new french prodigy Mr-Hypnos (member of the french site wo-arena). Thanks mates, more to come this WE
I saw a weird thing last night - when returning to the post race screen (at least I think it was that screen, the first one after the race) for a millesecond I saw a different set of options. There were three instead of two, and one of them was called "spectate". I couldn`t see which button you were supposed to press as it was too quick. Then it went back to the usual options. I`m fairly sure it was the post race menu and not the lobby, but it was all over in a split-second and I only saw it once. I don`t think it was sleep-deprivation, adrenalin-overload, or the mushrooms, but you never know!
subliminal teaser, maybe ;)
Hey Lunar, I saw that too (for 1 or 2 secs, this spectator mode, after a race). But my online universe was first located in korea lol (I'm in France), during one or two hours we played ghost laggy races lol. Anyway thanks to all for the show, it was my first connection, what a blast, online mode runs fantastically well (even the korean universe!!!) I'll probably be back for more around 15h00 GMT+1, I saw that I needed a lot of training!!! 3 races per track, phantom, no guns, DNF... thank god there's a respawn lol, I need that for the moment...
& let me introduce the "rapier racer rule" (I saw you last night lol) : if rapier racer connects, guns will be turned on!
Too bad I missed it, I had no internet connection for the PS3 yesterday! Let's hope for today, then.
I think we all know what the official score would be if i was included in them;Quote:

I guess next time ill take into account these stupid daylight saving that you guys in the east are having and im not this year:dizzy
If KANDANG came into the picture im sure he'll over take me in the tournys. Seems like the only comp atm is a few:g
Man, imagine a superteam consisting of KANDANG, KIGO, blackwiggle and I (oggob and bomber_rock can be a sub). We'd kick the sheep anyday :+
:D Very good rule!Quote:

I cannot even find the bloody lobby!
To Stin, kanar, El, Nadia, and some others(sorry brain isn't quite up yet), my many thanks.
@kanar, I didn't know I was about to take part in Avalon, I'll be ready next time though.
Nice Avalon races today! Damn eL you are fast!
And oh, sorry I had to leave, but I really needed to cook myself some dinner!
damn I'm still in korea or what lol!!!! I'm going to turn off my computer to get more speed connection, that's weird. too bad stin can't wait to race u!!! I'll be back @ 18h00 gmt+1
I found the lobby! eLhabib is superfast, indeed.
Supper is ready so had to quit unfortunately.
Lol. There always that dJAmZz guy also. heard he's pretty good. Im yet to race him though.Quote:

Not my ship of choice also. Just using different ships at the moment so i can get that silver trophy for unlocking all the ship skins, i need to get 8000 points for every ship, this is taking longer than i expect. But NZ pilot are interesting to verse againest.Quote:

Anytime, Kanar, Avalon rules!
eLhabib you have some crazy skills. We've had some good races today. I've been able to see lots more skilled racers. I'm really enjoying this no weapons thing, evryone gets a fair chance at winning. I'll see if I can join you a 1800 today for some more fun.
Sadly enough ( can't write funnily here ) i remember from Xlink Kai sessions that weird bug affected few racers on our biggest evening ( ermm biggest for Pure underground multiplayer : 10/12 pilots :D)Quote:

ok guys. I'll be ready for 22h00 gmt+1, after a crazy afternoon. I need training!!!
kanar! We rule!!! The Legend of the Drunken pilots!
lololol
lol xtriko, yeah I think I went too far tonight with Jacky danny lol, couldn't negociate the turns & the reverse & man I suck lol. need training. I'll post the new records in the arena thread. see you tomorrow! -straight-, no more alkaolic lol
Great races, Asayyeah! Sorry I couldn't stay longer, the wife and I had to run some errands.
Looking forward to seeing more of y'all online-- haven't had much time recently and have been focusing on single player. But I want to get online more even if I still have a lot more practice to do :)
Thx to everyone for those cool online sessions, avalon & sr included :+
Awesome races last night in kanar's avalon. huges thanks to Mad-ice, Asayyeah, Kaori, Xtriko, Lunar, Guixsilver, El-Habib, Hunk83, Amorbis, Dag , Mdhay, Lude22tvi, Giufa-online, Pirhapac, The Muse, Avenger 2197... and of course Kanar "the genius".:+
Thanxs to asa and xtriko also a surprise guest who I participate is Yoshikamitsu who is an excellent player!:eek:+
Sorry, I had to go to my precious bed!
stevie:)
yeah, awesome races last afternoon, & last night... I'm still a safety car on this game (drunken safety car yesterday lol), but I really hope/dream to be competitive soon. As Flash said, this is not pulse here. But I have to adapt. I'll be back for more today, probably for 15h00 CEST/GMT+1 (france is gmt+1?). Last avalon day, phantom, all tracks, 2 no gun races & a third, apocalyptic one with your favourite bombs & plasma stuff!
lol aah don't do that I'm guessing the majority of players who play this like the Avalon thing cos of the lack of weapons which is what makes it so good (not my personal opinion) for some people. So changing the way it works for one person... :dizzyQuote:

sorry guys I was fighting a strong headache since this morning. Rapier racer, I love guns too sometimes, & I would be pleased to race a real plasma guy like you. I'll be online @ 20h00, for sure this time. Yeah Jabberjaw a real online TT mode or team racing would be great.
TT race like Pure had would be great, with options for one turbo per lap, no collisions etc. But perhaps this would need a new records table to keep things fair. I also like Avalon racing, it`s great for learning the tracks as I am doing at the moment and it can be very tactical, but I think racing with guns is what really gets me most excited. :pirate So RR if you`re ever looking for a willing plasma victim I`m ready! ;)
Thanks to all who were there saturday night. Kanar named you already, so thanks again it was great fun!:+
