Unknown Pilots

[bik3rluke]

Have any of you come across any 'unknown' pilots online that are VERY quick? By unknown, I mean not on WipeoutZone and basically unheard of around the HD community.

[pirahpac]

i know " dark_pegasus" with american flag ..he s really fast!! and a awesome japanese " rosbeef_killer"

[Darkdrium777]

I met a few guys today:
sotilovsky
ogiriasu
Freeman1021

[Aeroracer]

I was on tonight . I know rank dosnt mean a thing but a rank 2 guy in pirahna beating rank 50 guy by like 5 seconds..come on who are they fooling.

I have played many players who i consider are using a secret id to hide there true level so as too attempt to impress new players like me when they win.

If you r are good your rank wil reflect it, if it dosn;t then you look bad to other players, kinda like a smallfry noob hunter.:turd

I cant even be bothered seeking out weak players to make me feel good, instead i play and lose to people like luna and dividedxzero cos i want to learn to compete with the best.

[Darkdrium777]

So I'm a small fry noob hunter, simply because my rank is 28 and not that "beloved" 50.
Hahaha, thank you! :clap

Without trying to brag, I can safely say that I can teach a lesson from time to time to a lot of people on this forum, some who are very good WipEout players too.
But small fry noob hunter as a title suits me and the people on my friends list who are also very good and at a lower rank than I very well I suppose.
People like KIGO (11), Leungbok (14), AG-Wolf (20), ALSARTWELL (21), eLhabib (21), pirhapac (25), TehRedscar (26), AkFurtif (27), Soccermums (27), and others who are also very good friends, probably not as skilled in the game but a great part of this community nonetheless.

You do know that Online Rank = time played online; right? It doesn't mean anything. At all.
I've been playing online with the Zone people almost exclusively since release, and those that at the moment were not part of the Zone are now here for the most part. So no, I'm not going out of my way to beat the newbies, in fact it's their fault if they come into my game because Pilot Assist is usually disabled, to save them from even being tempted to join and lose badly and being frustrated.

[Aeroracer]

dont split hairs .firstly i never said you are a noob hunter or anyone you named, you said that and you know what i mean. everyone you mention goes under their real name so none of you are small fry noob hunters.You are all skilled players

There is also a difference between rank 28 and rank 1 like under 5 races.

You cant actually think that some people dont hide under secret id's to make themselves look better.

we do libve in a nice world but its not perfect im afraid.

oh btw i know how good you are because i watch your videos and learn your moves.(phantom elite vids)

Sorry also forgot to mention some of these players apparently have no trophys either yet they play like an elite. So it's unlikly they could really say they were zone players or speed lap players. As they would at least of unlocked there tracks..

Slightly off-topic, but since online rank as a unit of measurement was mentioned: What I'd love to see in lobbies is a display of the number of online races played (maybe also a win/loss ratio) next to the player's rank, or perhaps in a "pilot details" submenu. That would be a much clearer indication of what I should expect from him during the race.

Also, it might make me comfortable knowing that rank 26 from just over 300 races isn't such a bad result as I feel now. :)

[Constrictor]

Did anyone raced Kaleidoscope## (w/ ## some numbers)? Average online-time, no country flag (he got the Wipeout-flag, anyone knows what that means) , and he's really, REALLY fast. He also joined a few avalon races some weeks ago.

@Darkdrium777: Got the impression that your are very keen in bashing this online 'ranking'?

[Amorbis]

I've raced Kaleidoscope on two occasions. He/she is a very quick Brazilian (I think) Assegai pilot. They said they don't know why they have the 'WipEout Flag' but I'm guessing HD doesn't have all the flags in the world and Brazil is one of those excluded. It would be nice for an official explanation of the 'WipEout Flag' from SL, I've seen it a few times online and it annoys me :?.

I can't name any other unknown racers, there seems to be a big amount of capable racers online these days.

Sounds a good idea, in reality and in practice a bad idea. online ranking based on wins and losses would make wipeout a bit like some beat m up games i have played. People will pull the internet cable if they lose so it wont show on there record, some people will boost each other, some will find ways to glitch cheat, some will even buy 2 psp's and play themselves, (yes i know it's sad, but unfortunatley true), others will hide behind fake id's only using their real id's on easy wins. wipeout as it is, seems really good online with nearly all players playing good honest quality games, i hope it remains that way going forward. We all have an idea of who the true champs are without a need of a table.:nod:nod

[IDReaper]

One more vote for Kaleidoscope, I was surprised and confused when he left me even after eating the fruit of my missiles, THREE times. I never passed him =(.

[XBARNSTERX]

Dalakhany, british , no trophies, top online race ranks and super fast. Racing him once a few weeks ago and havent seen him since.:rock

[Handmadelion]

I got one. l_coln, I bump into that guy all the time and I remember him because he's a good opponent for me being on very similar skill levels. We usually finish in the same areas or together whenever all the pros come out like wolves, and they're hungry like 'em!

And I'll plug vart too, just cause whenever he comes into any of my races I make the oh-lord-hes-going-to-completely-blow-me-away face. And I'd be right. :D

Gotta consider me and the fellow members on that list did have the SL bug issue. Most of our online ranks efforts are all in our secondary account, like me.

[Jambo]

I am only rank 11 or so due to having a terrible internet connection in Uni this year. I shall be attempting to correct this over the next few months!

[Constrictor]

@jan709: wipeout-flag, well the shape is like this <> , it's light blue with anything WO related inside ... When you see it for the first time you mostly will be stunned ... and miss the start some 20 seconds later :?

@Amorbis: thx!

@IDReaper: 3 times missiled?! than he has to be a ghost, zombie or cheater :)

There is another fast one under this wipeout-nation (or small nation - like brazil *sic* ) flag. koatlcezal (sp?) or something.

[guillaume]

There are pilots in this thread as well:

[alterego]

Hi Constrictor, hi all


koatlcezal (sp?) or something.

KoatKetzal from Mexico!

He is strong and very fair....I invite him a lot, but for now....no join :(

read you soon
CdRom

[LOUDandPROUD]

I got one. l_coln

I've raced him many times too. I thought that was the person on this forum that goes by the name "insertcoin", but I just checked and his PSN ID is shown as "radiumx"...I swear it's the same person though. Either I'm wrong or he has two ID's.

I've also raced coatlketzal many times and he's plenty fast.

My most recent frustrations have been caused by brummpahh though. Very evenly matched with me. We have very tight, fun and sometimes aggravating races lol. He just recently signed up to WOZ too and I sent him a message. Good guy. He's only had WOHD for 4-5 weeks and he's already as good as me (I've been playing for 6-7months), so watch out for this guy.

Competitive, "unknown" pilots seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days, which is great, if not frustrating sometimes, as I hate losing to people I don't know lol.

[rdmx]

Alas I am neither good nor active online :S I don't have any alternate accounts under a different name, radiumx is my only account, so this I_coin guy is a completely different fellow. Boy this could get confusing...

[LOUDandPROUD]

Haha, weird...thanks for clarifying. :)

[Darkdrium777]

Dalakhany, british , no trophies, top online race ranks and super fast. Racing him once a few weeks ago and havent seen him since.:rockI wouldn't count on seeing him often :) I know who this is (not me) but he was only using it to infuriate WormwoodMoridin (And it worked :lol) and Wormwood isn't really a newbie, just a sore loser most of the time.

And yeah, I'm keen on bashing the online rank, well rather I'm keen telling people that it's nothing more than a clock saying how much you played online, it's certainly no indication of skill. ;)

He is actually German, his son who is a member here as JJMiller! ;)

If you want to know about him, well go and look for Euro Convention and there are pictures there. ;)

And yes he is fast pilot!

stevie:)

[guillaume]

Mmh Stevie, I think you've thought about Kappeskopp here!

[stin]

aah!, so, it`s a different person then?!

Ok, sorry about that!

stevie:)

Much props to you, I feel the exact same way.I always play with luna, coatlketzal, deepmix, and some others. they're all very competitive and good. hell last night I got lucky and won 1st twice against them. (well 1 race deepmix took a break lol) but yeah, I hardly ever get to beat them, but I think I'm finally getting better after racing with them. Learn from the best, or at least people better than you. lol

uum I've played a lot of people who are really good, lol some I recognize from this forum and some not. I can't remember their names though.

[TheDukeZip]

There's always the people like me that played when the game first came out but haven't played in 8-9 months, but the Fury release gave us a renewed ambition to come back and play. After a few laps on each track it all starts coming back :rock Now if only I could finish those last few cells for Elite Campaign Legend...

Maybe I'll see some of you guys online this weekend

[Aeroracer]

go to you tube and check out Darkdrium 777 ,he made videos of himself beating elite phantom, he made it look easy, i think he filmed all the tracks. hope that helps you :dizzy

[Handmadelion]

Speaking of 777, Code777 gave me some damn good races right after Fury came out. I had to remove my feet from their comfortable recline and sit up properly for that one. And I won't say who won the races, I never kiss and tell. But I will say that guy knew his way around Vineta K.

[khnemu23]

I raced Code777 a couple of days back. Code777 is a really good pilot, particularly on Sebenco Climb (reverse) where he/she beat me by 13 seconds. I won a few races, but I was really embarrassed that Code777 gave me a 10 second head start (not at my request) and came back to beat me by .2 seconds on Ubermall (reverse). :clap

[TheDukeZip]

go to you tube and check out Darkdrium 777 ,he made videos of himself beating elite phantom, he made it look easy, i think he filmed all the tracks. hope that helps you :dizzy

Thanks for the tip, you're right, he makes it look like a piece of cake. Guess I need to work oh Phantom some more...

[yeldar2097]

dunno if he's good at other tracks but i got buggered up the arse by WiPe_aSsAsSiN or something like that today on Vineta fwd

[Darkdrium777]

go to you tube and check out Darkdrium 777 ,he made videos of himself beating elite phantom, he made it look easy, i think he filmed all the tracks. hope that helps you :dizzyNot all the tracks, but the most difficult ones. Though now that I have two camera batteries, you can count on seeing more. :)

[RobCoxy]

I had some pretty good races with a Zeroshift21 tonight. Fast pilot, and very friendly. I'll direct him here ;).

[LOUDandPROUD]

dunno if he's good at other tracks but i got buggered up the arse by WiPe_aSsAsSiN or something like that today on Vineta fwd

Yes, I've raced him before and it's safe to say he's good on other tracks. Skilled pilot, he is.

[RobCoxy]

I ran into Kaleidoscope47 earlier. Damn he is fast! Hard to keep up with him! A nice chap though, very friendly.

[newtype]

...coatlketzal just kicked my butt twice in a few phantom races. The guy knows his lines very well-

[MAMUTH]

yeah I know coatlkezal,I believe he is from mexico. Ive got him in my friendlist...he is pretty good:nod

[IDReaper]

Who is LaIN-85??? Took advantage of me and JJohn while we were shooting each other to completely dust us. Got some first place TT too. Random awesomeness or am I just out of the circle here?

[Hellfire_WZ]

He's here - http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/member.php?u=5033

Definitely a good player, also a tricky opponent on Zone Battle too.

[Vartazian]

Lain is one fo the few people that can give me a challenge in Zone Battle, Hes worth mentioning in my book.
