cheating the ZONE

[superpj1]

Paul said that they'd identified the problem and that it would be fixed in time for the fury pack.

Thanks for the news Insertcoin did they say if they would remove the Zone Zeus trophy to the people who used the glitch ?

[blackwiggle]

Like my nieces boyfriend that thought he was doing me a favor by beating Zeus with the glitch while I was out.

I came back home and he said "There's a surprise" just before he left.

I didn't know what he was on about but realized it must of had something to do with HD as that's what was what he was playing when I came back in.

They left and after a quick check saw that I suddenly had Zeus trophy.

I know he's good at zone ,I've seen him blitz my previous PB,so I wasn't that bothered.

That's until I went into records and saw level he got to 76,just made it I thought,then I looked at the perfect laps 7 .

You Fuc9ing little **** ,you used a glitch to fu9k up the game I cherish most.

Ropeable would be a understatement on my feelings about this,I was onto KIGO like a shot,[Swapping swear words]

I was on a high after finally beating ZICO,I only had ZEUS to do and I was hitting the high 60's previously.

That's why I haven't posted Transcendence.

Because I haven't achieved it yet.

Now I have to beat 76 to have a legit zone score in the records.

Thanks you little

[MAMUTH]

im sure you can make it 75 or 76 is not much of a difference, once you get into it, you will beat it.

Unwanted BR's have been my undoing.

As it is I have to wear sunglasses to somewhat counteract the change of screen colour changes that just blanks me out if I don't.
Mainly due to a huge screen size.

Quite a ridiculous sight as my niece said .

Probably her[well meaning] idea to prompt the boyfriend to do it.

@blackwiggle: Oh hell, I can feel for you. No matter what, the essence of the
Zone Zeus trophy is fukked up beyond repair.

It's too late.

Days before Fury gets released someone released the video to the public.
Anyways, it's SL fault. Yes, it it. Why? Because there was more than enough
time to fix the problem.

I'm done with Zone Zeus in any way. I'm done because SL dropped one of
the best trophy on all of PSN.

I call for a replacement!

The best trophy I can get would be the satisfaction of reaching 120 on AP

Even if this will never happen as long as I can't see anything past 75...

[silverfoxy]

The amount of glitched scores on the AP leaderboard is a joke.

Its obviously gotten out how its done. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what it is, I don't know exactly but I've heard the odd whisper here or there.

The 50,000 trophy for 4 zones in the upcoming one should be increased to 100,000 and made a silver trophy as some sort of compensation.

[Asayyeah]

I remember Syncopia from Pure zone mode : there's 3 mini jumps, easy to master on slow speed but truly hard to stay on those if you reached past 45, problem is there's open area around those mini jumps i sincerly hope there's not that kind of AP glitch ...
Except that can't wait to race Corridon12 ( was my fav zone track on Pure)

[blackwiggle]

Problem Solver will be buying the Schnitzels if you beat him after 1 month in the Fury records.

That could be rather expensive Problem Solver.

@Eloï:

I think SL got enough data to finally build a trophy for ZONE that really
shows off. Zone 120 wouldn't be a good choice, I think. A new trophy
should also care for perfect zones, perfect laps, boosts, the score, ..., and
ratios thereof. I mean, ZONE is a deterministic system (one can calculate
the optimum score etc.) and given the known data one can really build one
or two very interesting trophies for ZONE.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna have a trophy that only the top10
will get, hell no! Trophies should be build in a way that one starts to dive
deeper and deeper into the 'thing' such that one may finally get the
trophy because (s)he knows what it takes to be in the ZONE. There is so
much more than just simply the total amount of zones reached.

@silverfox073: Arrgh, I still have to answer your PN. Got a lot of things
to do lately. Stay tuned.

@Asayyeah: So you will be back? You suddenly somehow stopped zoning.
Why? Same holds for Wellington. But I think Fury will turn this around, right?

@blackwiggle: xD
Yeah there will be lots of guys from Pure that wanna show off what they
got. Hell, it's going to be awesome!

[blackwiggle]

PS you are a self described ZONE ADDICT.

Fair enough.

But IMHO you have began to rant about ZONE .

I'm becoming to be worried about you.

Has ZONE consumed you?
Not Healthy thought's ,enjoy something ELSE.

From reading your posts it seems a addiction/fetish/urge ,both brilliantly observant but equally disturbingly manic.

As one gentleman to another.

Take a break from ZONE

[ProblemSolver]

@blackwiggle: I tell you, with the appearance of the glitch my life has
become sort of useless. I was quite close to finish everything.



Granted, I'm just a bit too enthusiastic about the game, but that's just
because I do generally spend too much attention to detail, and because
I love it! But I can differentiate between all the technical things and
all those that cannot be measured. So despite I have some rants over
here I can enjoy the game as it should be + 1.

Atm I don't play that many different games simply because I use my PS3
mainly for Linux. The PS3 formatting tool only allows to split the HDD into
10GB + remainder (50GB in my case). And since I need more than 10GB
for Linux I've spent only 10GB for the GameOS. xD Hence, I have only my
most preferred games installed; WipEout HD and Metal Gear Online. But this
situation will change drastically over the weekend. I'm about to restructure
my entire PS3Linux and I will throw a 500GB disk (a Seagate Momentus
7200.4 (ST9500420AS)) at the GameOS.

Anyways, ZONE is my 'daily fix' simply because of doing some runs with the
music loud is ... uhh ... p r e t t y awwwesome.

Last but not least, most of my posts should be read 2 times.
But this doesn't mean that I don't feel a bit sad about how everything
turned out with the glitch. And yes, I wanna have a replacement!

Addicted? Hell, yes!

[LOUDandPROUD]

Wait...there's an easily exploitable glitch that will allow me to get Zone Zeus with little effort? Looks like I'll be achieving Transcendance as soon as I get home from work today then! Finally! Woo-hoo!

Just kidding, everyone...LOL.

[ProblemSolver]

You did it like that! I tell the world!

[blackwiggle]

Looks like the world already knows.

I went through the first 130 pages of the ZONE records [1300 different scores] and found 122 of them that MUST of been GLITCH scores.

So 1 in 10 basically.

[Darkdrium777]

Nice. That's what happens when you wait too long. Fortunately nobody knows of Sebenco. And you never will, if you're reading this you ****ing glitchers.
This reminds me of the days on RFoM, the matches we spent glitching to go out and shoot the teddybear on the rock (All just for fun). Then people started using this glitch to cheat and win games, so they were all removed... Damn these people. Now we can't go and see the teddybear...
Same kind of thing, people discover some fun things to do (Admittedly the Zone glitch isn't fun, but the Vineta-K stuff is, a little... Fly Icaras huh?) and then the abusers come in and ruin it.
We had already a lot of glitched times on the boards, now we have more. There are two game modes left that are not glitched: Speed Lap and Time Trial. Sadly, none of these I play so much, Single Race is my main (Pretty ****ing useless as 90% of my very own times are glitched, thank you spectator mode; AND most of the tracks have glitched times on the first two pages), and then Zone for a "relaxed" experience (Look at the situation now)

Note to SL: I'd like to be able to delete my own glitch times and resynchronize with the server so they don't show up there anymore.

[IH8YOU]

With the "select boost" trick - even Speed Lap times could be considered glitched.

Time Trial is the last "level playground" in my eyes.

I favored TT over SL before this glitch business in the first place.

[Wotan]

Time Trial is the last "level playground" in my eyes.

Maybe ... , but two of them are falsified . Both moa have glitched times ...

[pirahpac]

yes right mate : moa tt phantom 1st is glitch, sol sl 1st is glitch, moa rev ( .....),and now chengou sl flash......yeah...( and i dont talk about single races yeah.....pfff)

[silverfoxy]

Those single race times really annoy me as well. I'd have a WR if they weren't fecked. Ho hum.

I think I've worked out the glitch on Seb rev but my lips are sealed.
