Non-working leaderboards [please fix it!]

[Lance]

ahem... leaderboards? Anyone? Anyone?
I believe there is already a more generalised problem mentioning thread elsewhere. Maybe two.

[karsten_beoulve]

there's voices that the leaderboards are working now.... can anyone check? i'm at work for many hours from now

[novide]

nothing changed...

[invernomuto]

looks like *new* times get correctly updated on the global leaderboards, but I need to verify this myself (tonight, I hope/guess)...

[Dark_Phantom_89]

nothing changed...

Same here, it's been a week and still no update...

[brummpahh]

For those, who understand german language, that's
what i wrote in the german ps3 blog:

"Besonders gut gefällt mir, daß seit Fury das Leaderboard,
spricht die offline/online Bestzeiten und Rankings NICHT
upgedated werden. Von offizieller Seite ist zu diesem
Thema nichts zu hören. Prima, so kann jeder seine
Leistungen schön für sich behalten.
Weiter so, wir Wipeout Fans sind begeistert ! "

I'm pi**ed and angry, SL, Sony or to whom this
may concern. Fix it.

[Koleax]

Just as long as everyone knows I am not ranked 148,000th in my Venom Anulpha Pass TT.

[blackwiggle]

Glad to see your improving ,keep practicing

[amplificated]

I'd just like to throw my considerably light weight into the subject in case any SL representatives get around to perusing the site. It's pretty annoying not having the leaderboards update.

done.

Got some new records, but still !%#*@ nothing.

[jimsin]

The broken leaderboards are forgiveable - the complete silence on whether anything will be done to fix them isn't

[Koleax]

I'm starting to get the same problem with Connaver's site. It'll take most of my times, but not my Venom Sebenco (R) TT for some reason.

[Rezatron]

Koleax, please check the records you added today for Multiplayer Venom Moa Therma and Ubermall (#1 and #2 times...?). I'm sure you have entered them in error.

On Moa, you beat Yeldar's time by 6 seconds (and his best lap by 6 seconds). The Ubermall time is believable except the best lap time stands out... (I would check the Ubermall time myself on the leaderboards but I can't get to my PS3 ATM). Be careful as there isn't alot of checking going on, it's up to you.

[Koleax]

That claim came sooner than I expected! Much sooner. I imagined people paid closer attention to the TTs and SLs.

You can verify both times on the game's server, when you have a chance.

If you still doubt it, the Ubermall time is the very same I used to beat seanywauny, so you can ask him.

As for Moa Therma, I guess all I can say is that yeldar isn't as good as you thought he was. The best lap time should make it clear that I was lucky and had either two or three boosts on one lap. Honestly, I thought that'd be more believable, since that time is globally ranked something like 35th, whereas Ubermall is 15th. You guys must just not race on Venom much.

[leungbok]

How many br on your entire race and per lap, Koleax ?

[Rezatron]

You can verify both times on the game's server, when you have a chance.

Yeah I did, good job on those times. You're a really good pilot (I played you a few times). The Moa times stood out on Connavar's site but it turns out alot of similar times exist on the official leaderboards and his site is simply out of date.

The problem with his site is 99% of players only enter their own times. Once in a while someone (chboing?) spends a ridiculous amount of time and enters all the other records I think this was last done on 7-31-09.

Sorry but online times are stuffed now,well online play is basically stuffed ATM.

I've never had so many weird occurrences regarding online times since HD came out.

Ok,I'm not the fastest Phantom pilot but by the same token I can hold my own with the fastest and I know when something is amiss.

4 times today I have had races and even if I was to account for lag something is definitely wrong.

For instance what just happened a few moments ago,I'm racing Phantom A/P reverse,I'm in pole position at the start,nobody overtakes me and yet before I go to make the first right bend I am 15.7 seconds behind ! WTF !!!

I'm no slouch when it comes to this track,and I was never headed nor hindered during the 5 laps and I had at least 3 turbos and did at least 8 BR's during the 5 laps.

Yet this invisible racer gets 1st place and a time 15 sec faster than mine,which I suspect will be at least 5-6 sec faster than any TT time ever achieved by Piraphaic or Leungbok.

I've had 3 other races like this today and quite a few last night,each time this has happened there has been at least two racers from the USA in the field ,strangely they seldom seem to be seen on the online board when back in the lobby,or at least one of them has disappeared from the field.

Other times I have joined a room,get on the board and nothing happens,I have to quit the game as things have frozen [it won't let me quit the race,no buttons are working] or it says I'm leading the race when the race hasn't even started.

I'm suspecting that the various servers are now so out of whack with each other that all online game play is about to come to a calamitous halt.

Something is seriously wrong,as such all online [multiplayer race ] times that are coming up as new world records by more than .50 sec should be considered extremely dubious and highly unlikely to be even remotely correct.

[Koleax]

I can't say I've ever had that experience, blackwiggle. I was just racing yeldar on a bunch of phantom races and I tried to look out for anything unusual, intentional or otherwise, but I kept pace with him enough to see that he's an excellent racer.

How many br on your entire race and per lap, Koleax ?

Ubermall? Probably 3 per lap on average. Boosting over the hills through the two buildings is the big shortcut, as everyone must know. On Moa it was once during the whole race, while boosting over the last turn. You can have a lot of turbos on Moa on not let a single one go to waste and throw you into a wall.


You're good too, Rezatron. I remember you were the only real competition in one of the tournaments I've raced so far.

[blackwiggle]

The whole HD/FURY online has gone weird.

Even "Players Met" is stuffed.

I'm not sure if this is the game or some 3.01 update problem.

Next time you first sign in have a look at the last few people on your players met list before you start the game up,then start up HD/FURY and just go into the lobby,don't join any games yet,now take a look at your Players met list again,got a few new additions even though you haven't met/raced anybody new yet?

If not,join a race and then check the names you just played against the ones on players met,I guarantee you you will either have additional ones or at least some different ones from the people you just played against.

I mean I just checked mine out and I have Yelder as one of the last 3 people I have played,I haven't raced Yelder in at least 4-5 MONTHS.

Online is stuffed ,and in more than one way.

Ubermall? Probably 3 per lap on average. Boosting over the hills through the two buildings is the big shortcut, as everyone must know.

Your ubermall race time is totally feasible, congrats !
But for moa, a 6 seconds difference with Yeldar with only one br per race (so no shortcut, i suppose) is really very stunning. Yeldar is one of the best pilots and is able on mp race to perform many shortcuts and brs like in tt. Beating him by one tenth is a feat, by 6 seconds is
I'm curious to know the amount of br Yeldar made on his second rank, if he remembers.
