The Wipeout HD Cup

[kanar]

ah ah welcome there brainbeat. And good to see you back btw.

Ok novide came back with awesome cup wallpapers, added the link 1st post and in the temporary signature below.

Next important step in the next few days will be the confirmation PSN PM. Just to know if there's no MIA pilots already. Your nationality & your timezone will be asked in this pm, in order to send you back some kind of Pilot ID card (jpg file) that you could exchange with your opponent. You'll be free to give me more infos like your fav ship, track, availability... any relevant info you would like to share. But nationality & timezone are the only requirements.

Mates comin' over to fix my ps3 in 2/3 weeks

[Constrictor]

Better late than never ....

I'm in. Olivier (and the kick-ass trailers / teasers) did a good job.

[kanar]

really glad you're joining us mate . Fantastic to see the entire zone mobilizing, slowly but surely, for December. And yes teasers are outstandings; could be easily taken for official ads...

I think it's even better than an official event. I've never heard about any official online competition on any videogame, reuniting in the same tournament board almost ALL the pilots in the online leaderboards and all the legendary pilots, past & present.

That's just awesome. 9 weeks left

You might want to ask if they have the FURY DLC as well.
It can't hurt to know the percentage of entrants that don't have it.
That info could head-off possible problems with those rare beasts "the Zone Battle Experts" who might complain that the person they are drawn against can play ZB.

[kanar]

true BW, one more necessary info yes, Fury or not fury.

[RJ O'Connell]

Put me down as entry #214.

[kanar]

errrr I'm running out of superlatives now lol, RJO!!!! awesome! OlD GuarD FTW

Would like to advertise here as well about this:

Everyone that can, should join the VOIP server and use it actively. I believe it to be good for the community! And more fun when playing online.

Also it will be good to have when this big event starts.

[kanar]

Yep ON, just checked briefly your thread and it sounds good for sure. I'm planning to open a special PS3 "wipeout HD cup chatbox" in the next few weeks, as another way to pass the infos or arrange scheduled meetings, but this VOIP system could be a nicest addition to our communication set. Shame the ps3 vocal chat doesn't work on this game btw.

[ONlock]

Not to go off topic, but this VOIP really is depending on that people wil actually use it.

If it could help you guys, I could make a "Wipeout HD Cup command center" room for you? As talking with each other is much more easy, than to keep everything text based.

Just a thought.

[kanar]

not at all off topic, as communication will be the key here. Tbh I would like to see this mumble broadly uploaded and used by all here, in order to compensate for the broken wo hd vocal chat. But I see, at least for me, some issues that I could hardly deal with;
First I'm speaking english like a dying mad cow. And when I'm available here or on the ps3, it's always for a few minutes as I'm always on the move. But I admit I'm not a good example, & I really would like to see this vocal chat used by everyone at the cup.

But our real, only way to keep contact with everyone during this event will be the ps3 directly, with pms & the upcoming wipeout hd cup chatroom. Even this way, we'll have some communications issues with some really busy guys, as Mad-Ice for ex. Hopefully I had his phone number to tell him about the cup, cos' his ps3 is turned off for ages now.
I'll try mumble asap mate btw.

[UB3R~JKP]

BTW Kanar, my PSN is: UB3R-BR3NDAGE

[kanar]

thanks mate, I modified that in the list. Btw I thought you guys may need some kind of chronology of what's going to happen until december , just to clear up your minds.


Oct 25 ---------------------------------------->> End of nov. or before

Confirmation registration process : I'm going to send you all a confirmation pm in order to validate your registration. You'll have to answer & share some basic infos (nationality, timezone, fury or not fury) then I'll send you back a cup ID card with these basic infos registered. You could for ex. share this card with your opponent, during the 1st contact. As it's a huge number of data to process, I'll begin next week, even if registrations are not complete yet.
In the same time, we'll try to sort out the seeded player list.

early dec------------------------------------------------------------>>dec.20

As soon as we'll have all the -confirmed- 256, we'll draw lots. The board will remain secret a few days lol, time for each raptor to add as a friend all the pilots in their managed board.
Playstation home wipeout museum ceremony will take place mid. december, and boards will be revealed during the party. Then, a few hours laters, you could check the board here at wz too. And finally, a few days after (48h max), you'll get a psn pm roadmap for your 1st round.

[Nutcase:259]

Ohhhh i havnt seen the wallpapers, very nice i like satturnreturns icurus one, with the wings

[OBH]

Id like to make my reserved place and official one please Mr. Kanar sir

Mates coming down with the tools and pieces needed to fix my ps3 next weekend. Get in there my son!

[kanar]

Jeez I wish you the best with your technician mates, really hope they could fix this little bastard!

[mikrucio]

im pretty sure I registered for this! Can you double check Kanar?
thanks mate.

[kanar]

eh eh mikrucio, found you under number 146. Huge list so far lol. A warm welcome to Elois-13 btw, Ace3 just confirmed me his participation.

[Laeke]

kanar, thank you for the PSN PM. I do not think I will attend, way too rusty for one, and not sure if I am able to hold my short attention to WO until December.

Nevertheless, I hope you will have fun and felt it was the polite thing to do to come here to reply.

Cheers to all.
