Could you imagine a Zone track in a Eliminator game? ...

Syncopia Reverse would be a lot of fun, I guess. xD

[Xavier]

It's probably bugged... like the 'Photos Taken' for some people is in the tens of thousands.

I have this problem too... I took one photo to get the trophy, yet somehow the game thinks I've taken 217 photos!

What is the "favorite team" section of the statistics menu based on?
In my game's stats Qirex is my favorite team. But Im like 55 hours with Auricom and only 11 with Qirex.

[blackwiggle]

There are a few stats that seem to be just randomly filled with anything,they have no basis of truth to them.
Photos taken,time in air & favorite craft are 3 of these.

What is the "favorite team" section of the statistics menu based on?

according to WO-HD my favourite ship is apparently also qirex.
so based with this knowledge:
1: most probably, it picks a random ship for you
2: it might be whatever ship you have most loyalty points pr. minute with. i leveled up the qirex quite fast getting zone zeus and eliminator. i think it was the ship i hit 100k fastest with. so seems probable.
3: others have theories about a relation between arcade perfect or elite campaign legend,this i can say without doubt is incorrect. because then i would have either harimau or goteki-45 as favourite.
4: also first to unlock all skin, and diciple doesent match.

so its either 1 or 2 a far as i could tell. unless someone have more info on the subject

I noticed that too and posted a similar question here a while back. It seems most people have Qirex as their favourite ship for some reason. My main ship is actually Goteki 45 with far more time/laps/records.

But... I then played lots of eliminator to get all my ship loyalties to 100000 (I'm a bit of a completionist) and my favourite ship changed from the bugged Qirex to... Feisar. Compared to the Qirex stats, Feisar has less points per minute and less laps. So I really have no idea how it changed to it. My highest points per minute is with AG-Systems, my first 100000 ship was Piranha, my main ship is actually Goteki 45 with more time and thousands more laps.

I thought it was just bugged but it does seem to change... even if it's still wrong.

[drell]

Maybe related to ship used for campaign? But then how to explain change to Feisar...
I would not care if mine stayed Qirex

[LOUDandPROUD]

Hmm...seems to be correct on mine. The ship I have the most time with is Feisar, hence it is also listed as my favorite ship. Makes sense to me.

Question for the wipeout proffessors......

In single play race and multiplayers race...when computer says during race new lap record which is all the time , does this mean it goes in speed lap record.or is this not recorded anywhere.

[SaturnReturn]

I was wondering the same thing a while ago. I haven't tested it, but I assume it just means a new fastest lap in Single race mode. I've never actually had it in multiplayer.

[Aeroracer]

I just cant see the point of it if there is no way to see what this new single race/multiplayer race new lap time record is..

I dont think it would go into speed lap chart as you could like have 3 turbos in a lap so it would make you better than a speed lap racer who is only allowed to use one turbo...

[SaturnReturn]

In multiplayer tables I think best lap is recorded. But it does still seem a little pointless. It could count as a speed lap if you only had one turbo in that lap. The game would only have to differentiate between that and 2 or more turbos when it decided to record the time or not, but I don't think it actually does.

[Aeroracer]

Well thanks for answering my question Saturn..

[Woopzilla]

The multiplayer race 'best lap' seems to really be your best. I don't think it's related to the total race time listed next to it either.

I've just updated a few multiplayer races of mine on the stats website and noticed that all 6 of my new records had the exact same best lap as the old records. Coincidence?

It seems to record the best lap you did when you set your record and then keeps that as your best until you set a new record + new best lap. I guess in my case the race result was faster without me beating my lap record. But yea, it still is a little pointless if that's how it works.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but a qucik search didn´t help. However, I have 2 questions.
1. While playing zone sometimes you get a bit of energy back. When and how much?
2. Haven´t played online that much. I am now rank 26. It appears to me that you get to the next rank quite fast, though it seems I need clearly more points to get to 27. So, by the time will the distances between two ranks grow more and more? Maybe every five ranks the (imaginary) points you need become more..?
Thanks in advance

[Woopzilla]

1. You get 10 hp back everytime you complete a 'Perfect Zone'. A perfect zone is 10 seconds of not hitting the walls/damaging your ship. It won't work if you just go 10 seconds though, it has to be from the start of a zone level to the end of a zone level (zone levels increase every 10 seconds). You can however still barrel roll during this time and lose 15 hp for it without voiding your perfect zone.

2. Yea, the distances increase. It's like an RPG. The distance between 99 and 100 is probably the same as the the distance between 1 and 30 (Just a random guess, I have no idea how much it takes).

[Autechom]

Thanks a lot for the quick respone!

[blackwiggle]

A few things to keep in mind that effect level progress.
You level increases faster with speed classes.
You gain a high % level growth if you win a race against players that are higher ranked than you.
Eliminator games seem to give you a higher % increase if you win,possibly because these races seem to take longer.
You lose level % if you quit a game ,It seems around equal to 4-5 races won,not only that but it seems that you level increase seems to stall for a while before increasing again.

[Koleax]

What if you quit an Eliminator?

[blackwiggle]

Same as quitting a standard race,you lose % and your progress stalls for around 4-5 races.
