XLink Kai

I would like to congrat Lunar, for all he has done , helping me to install properly all the stuff for Xlink Kai.
As i ve told to the WZ's Kai crew previously , i ve bought ( 5 days ago) the DWL wifi usb key, and Lunar gives precious advices on Msn and the result is ..I can now play on Kaï ( first fight with Lunar & Lion last sunday night)
And that's awesome, incredible, amazing ... i ve got a lack of words to describe my feeling about racing with my ' old ' friends from WZ.
Even Lunar kicked my ass lots of time winning nearly all the tourney we made , i ve proudly ( :redface: ) get few best lap ...
But you know i am a kind of newbee ( hihihi, yes i am ! ) compared to those experimented pilots but i wanna improve my ' fight ' skill.

3 of my french friends decided to follow my first steps in Kai so we probably could create a kind of championship in a future with all the WZ members.

I highly recommend Kai , even it's the mess to configure it

alright now! I guess this gives me the final push I needed to start coming back to xlink again. I've been away from wipEout purE for a much too long time already! I'll be around by the end of this week, promise! just need to re-establish my piloting skills first, I have a very bad feeling that Lunar is gonna take the chance and smoke my ass once and for all ;)
see you soon!

I can`t imagine you letting that happen ;)

Lion and I have established a new end of night "chillout" race format - flash tour, compulsory shield 1 ship. It works very well - very close racing with constant lead changes and lots of elimination possibilities. It`s "chillout" compared to the usual phantom mayhem anyway.

Speaking of which, I think a lot more of the French Crew will be on Kai soon. There`s going to be some racing on Thursday night, so hope to see you there. :)

for those without zone/medieval open any same-ship flash challenge works.
though the low shield makes for a more interesting strategy to the races...
deliberately messing up a corner so that a quake/rockets/missile is of more real use for example is a lot more devastating when it knocks of most of the shield >:P

what time are you guys racing? (GMT please)

Some time after 23.00, for me..... the usual. I think Assayeah may be planning on a bit sooner than that.

I am still not back at work yet, so just msn/icq me and I'll be keen if awake

The FFF ( French Free Flyer ) Team will be soon on Kaï :pirate , we worked on that 5 long hours yesterday night through Msn but it's more complex that we thought. Your help was much appreciated .
Yes a great thursday night is on the way... Sleh & Vic will be there in my room, if Lion was right we can connect them & me by my unique internet connection fighting on Kaï with worlwildwipers. That might be awesome .

About my GMT time racing it's 24 H / 24H :redface: .... well i wish by that to reduce the gap between Lunar & me ( hihi ).
Unfortunately my Kai session will probably much start around 9 PM till my eyes 'd close definitely or do something like that = :dizzy

Lion if you are there , i am certainly doing something in a few moments as a training , hope you will be around on Kai

As soon as I get my computer up and running, I think I'll give this a try as well. Can you run 8 people at the same time?

You can have 8 people joining a game - but the game would be unplayable. The max for a smooth, playable game is 4 on Kai. On Flash and below you can get away with 5 if everyone has a decent ping, but on higher speeds any more than 4 makes it much too choppy, no matter what the pings are or the upload speed of the game host. When there are a lot of players we split into groups and have a promotion/relegation system after tournaments.

I hope you can get on Kai - and when you have your first race against Arnaud that`s one starting grid I have to be on.

oh just one thing: you guys are playing EU version, no? cuz I still need to get that one...

asayyeah at least has the us version
I can't speak for everyone but I've played a fair bit on kai now and an incredibly small portion of it has been in the EU version, even against other zoners who have multiple versions.

that`s true, but it would make more sense for the Euro to be the standard, so that we get the most tracks to choose from. Also 123 Klan, with its open section, and Burgertown with it`s "bomb alley" are both a multiplayer heaven/hell.

Anthony Vic-Cachou and me are connected now ....waiting on kai for fellow wipers :pirate

WHEW! What a blast!
I wanna thank Lunar and the French Free Flyers for an awesome night of purE bliss! After almost 3 months of not playing, I have totally fallen in love with this game again, and I am sure to be online more often again now!

I strongly recommend xlink kai to everyone who is looking for some crazy amazing wipEout action! GET IT! NOW!

see y'all soon, you guys rock:rock

Yeah Join the WZ kai's crew :cowboy

5 players in the same game fighting eachothers without lag ...
Pure happiness

Lunar , you ve got the crown for the several victories you did
El : you got the crown for getting wiped out twice by me :redface: in a same tourney
And FFF team the crown for beiing 3 in a same room talking strategy ( i.e. be careful Vic , El's bomb is on your route..hihihi)

maybe a special one for me to quit this awesome Kai session after nearly 12 hours in a row ( finished by a venom ascension tourney with 4 fellow US wipers )

Now it's time for me to have my :o bed....

Damn i am MAD :pirate

The best way never have to worry about Pure`s cheating AI - play on Kai. The opposition don`t cheat (of course :)) and they`re much tougher. How else can you race against the legendary holder of most WZ records, and El Habib who has a strong claim to be the best Pure racer out there? If you have broadband internet you can do it ;) It doesn`t even need to be particularly fast broadband. I used to play ok on 512 download and 128 upload speed, though my connection is faster now.

Assayeah makes it sound like I was further ahead than I was in the Vienna/Le Havre/Swindon challenge. I took the Phantom Descension we started with. Then Classic 2 Phantom and El`s mojo was starting to work again.... me, Assayeah and El had 1 win, and 19pts each going into the last race at Vohl Square. The tension was incredible. El ran away to win it, Assayeah was second, and I blew up.... too many barrel rolls/mines in my hopeless panic to catch El while I was battling Vic. After this a Shield 1 Ship/Flash/gamma tour, just me against the FFF (Assayeah, Vic and Anthony). It was incredibly close, Medievil delivered for me on races 1 and 2, then Anthony killed me twice with quakes in the last 2, and Assayeah shared gold with Vic - both of them in Zone.

Amazingly, Assayeah, Vic and Anthony were all in the same (actual physical) room sharing the same dwl 122 connection to kai. When Assayeah hosted, with his 512 upload speed, it was actually pretty smooth, though in normal circumstances 4 probably would still be the limit.

And the greatest thing is we could all choose different ships - me in VanUber, El in Assegai and the FFF guys in Triakis, and each had its own strengths/weaknesses, but it was down to the pilot in the end. Awesome job by SL in balancing the game so well. If only it was infrastructure online..... but Kai works well, and Pure is by far the most popular PSP game on Xlink, because it is so good.

siiigh [daydreams about racing] :D

Now I`m drooling here after I had read this! but I will have a surprise VIP coming to my place:rolleyes:

stevie;)

New session available for tonight ( i hope sooner )
One thing i am sure is i won't be able to play as much as yesterday ( till the morning comes :frown: ) ... i am like a zone ship hitted by a backquake followed by roquets on Citta Nuova... only one difference it's not my shield which is critical....but my brain

Stin ... VIP = Very by Immersion Process which is a regular description for Xlink Kai. ;)
I am sure my 2nd coming from 19th to 24th of january to Scottland would be another great moment, i'll bring my DWL thingy , install it to your PC and we'll have a fight online with our fellow WZ members.
Can't wait to next week:hyper
