Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

A perfect lap gives you 2000 points.

[Jav]

And a BR costs 15 energy, not 15%. Otherwise you could BR forever

Same with a perfect zone. 10 points, not 10%.

Bit pedantic, I'm sure nutcase knew what I meant.

[mikrucio]

why does the mirage ship look so crap?

[QjonPL]

Because it's demotivating the opponent

[Nutcase:259]

Points, percentages, same thing?

Mikrucio: Lol who knows, with a name like mirage u'd think it might be subtle, but instead it looks like a praying mantis with a fat ass

[Jav]

Bit pedantic, I'm sure nutcase knew what I meant.

I know you know how it works, and I wasn't trying to be pedantic. But see below.

Points, percentages, same thing?

I wish! Because if BR's were 15% of your energy at that moment, they would only cost 7,5 if you were at 50 energy, and only 3 if you had 20 energy left! Etc.

[SaturnReturn]

What you refer to as 50 points, everyone else calls 50%. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else refer to 50% at that time being 100% of 50 points, or similar. We all talk of total initial energy. Face it Jav, you're just thinking too far outside the box. Get back in here with the rest of us.

[Nutcase:259]

hadnt thought about all the percentage malarkey, thats far too much maths for one evening

[Jav]

Ugh, that's not what I mean, but I'll just leave it.

[SaturnReturn]

We all know what you mean. I just confused things with a poor and needless explanation.

[Darkdrium777]

I'm fairly sure that the shield calculations go into the decimals (That's why sometimes you can end up with 0 energy on the HUD and still be alive, and scrape a wall and still be alive after o.O)
So the correct scientific way would be to say:
Barrel rolls take 15.00 units of energy (Because I think it goes into two decimal places, but it might be just one I can't remember.)

[Woopzilla]

The smallest damage I've noticed is probably 0.5. I'm sure the maximum you can ever scrape a wall is twice before losing 1hp... I don't think I've ever managed three scrapes before dropping by 1.

I've seen 2 scrapes = 1hp many times in my uploaded videos, but never any more... or perhaps they're just that much rarer?

[mikrucio]

All I know is an accidental barrel roll at zone 90 is not ideal... Lol
Not ideal at all

[Colonel]

No but it always bloody happens doesn't it? Every f_ing time haha

Anyway I'm glad we're all chatting about zone, it really is amazing.

[ProblemSolver]

... The Vineta K thing really pisses me off, I'll fluke a BR every few laps but every time I miss it, it just feels like points going down the drain.

If you have issues there, you may perhaps approach the jump
from the right, on low speeds, and / or just pull the craft up a lil.

[JJPAP]

Okay, this is not the most important question ever, I admit, but I couldn´t help recognizing (this evening) for the first time, hmm, that looking at my friends list - at the PS3 - a lot was playing Wipeout HD, but one was playing Wipeout HD Fury (drr1984, I think it was). Never seen that before ... Wipeout HD Fury ... Hmm.

[SaturnReturn]

I've only ever seen that for people that own the Blu Ray version. It could be something else in addition, but that's definitely one case.

[mikrucio]

yes the DISC version of the game (which i have) says that on the status.
even if you have fury with your PSN version it will only say wipeout HD.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Anyone here used Turbo at the small dip on Modesto Heights Reverse only to hit that bulge(the wall on the Mag-Strip,which leads me to another question) and get another opportunity to Barrel Roll?
And the Mag-Strip only affects the track itself and not the wall?
