What will the name be for 100% of Level 100 online rank be?

[blackwiggle]

It's getting close....well Sinus 1 is ,current 44.2% of level 87 named Savant VII.

Who want's to guess what level 90+ is called ,post your reply here.

Then what title to you get for 100% at level 100 ? [apart from obvious "The person without a life"]

I'm thinking "Wipeoutous Maximus" ,or possibly just something tame like "AG-GOD" or "AG-KING" for the 100%/100 .

[Constrictor]

Don't know for 91 up but 100/101 will definitely be

'Division by 0'

or

'Guru Meditation Error #00000012.48454C50.' (plz decode this!)

or just

'UberDeity'

[Darkdrium777]

No-Life.


Haha that was to easy xD sorry ;)

Seriously I have no idea. Supreme Master. Or something like that.

[blackwiggle]

The levels only go up to 100.

Pre FURY it was 50 ,it didn't take long for people to reach that.

[eLhabib]

hmmm, maybe Master of Irrelevance? :P

[Asayyeah]

Brain-xDSL-Maniac


(...) "AG-KING" (...) .
Sorry This one is already taken by our best overall Wipeout pilot, i met him him twice irl , an indication it was in USA ;)

[Vartazian]

"Stop playing"

or

"Go Outside"

[SaturnReturn]

I like eLhabib's suggestion and vartazian's 'go outside'. Both funny. :D

Maybe they'll name it after the first one to get there, like they sometimes do with people who discover diseases. They could call it...Sinus1tis.

[Aeroracer]

@i changed my mind so i deleted my rude list as its disrespectful to players who like rank....:nod

Slightly OT.

Does anybody know for sure?

Do you get a higher % level advance when playing Eliminator or Zone Battle than you would if playing single races?

It just seems that since Sinus1 doesn't race Phantom,and according to the original explanation on how the level % worked [higher % advance at higher speed class],he would have to have played and won a hell of a lot of Rapier/Flash single races to get where he is.

I've only played 3 eliminators & 1 zone battle online since they became available ,so I wouldn't know myself.

[KIGO1987]

or KIGO, prince of profanity himself

Ive already have been given my tag.:P

[Koleax]

Oh my gosh, you guys are ruthless. I love it, lol.

Well whatever it is, sinus1 will see it in German, so I'm thinking Uebermensch. ;)

[djKyoto]

Pre FURY it was 50 ,it didn't take long for people to reach that.

Still havn't here. lol

[blackwiggle]

Me either :)

Very slow advancing past level 45, that's why I'm wondering about the eliminator/zone battle % given.

I'm sort of guessing that it would give a higher % advance as the races are longer.

Wait to hear from Vart ,he seems to play a lot of eliminator,even in single races :P

[Vartazian]

Personally I find that playing Single Races is the best way of getting rank. However racing alot of people at your rank level doing quick zonebattles will REALLY munch through your Rank. Youll go up very fast.

Unfortunatley nobody plays ZB

[blackwiggle]

Ok,Thanks for that ,I thought as much.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'd guess something like Wipeout God, or Wipeout Disciple

[leungbok]

Or something like "wotan" or "pirahpac" :P

[Rezatron]

Someone should msg Sinus1 and as what his online W/L record is. Mine is something like 4500W and 2000L and i'm "only" level 53. I know ranking gains are based on a formula, but he (she/it?) must have over 25000 wins at least(!)...

[JFthebestJan]

my stats: lvl.55 / 2815 online events / 1339 won / 1476 lost (2nd-8th). i believe playing tournaments is better 4 fast rank-progress then playing just single-races, but im not sure. i don't play eliminator or ZB that much, so i can't say anything about rank-progress in those modi. btw. "sinus1" (good player) is playing wipEout almost 24/7. :D

[Kyonshi]

Its going to be named

"I left my job and girlfriend to attain highest level in WipEout HD and all i got was this lousy Rank 100"

[DISRUPTOR]

Probally something like 'Sore Finger Master" :p

[blackwiggle]

He thinks he will be at level 90+ sometime early this week,so we should know what that level is called.

He should do,I saw him log on yesterday and he had put in a good 5 hours and was still going when I went to bed.:eek

But then again,he basically only plays online,no interest in the trophies if you were to look at them,he's only about 38% game completion.

[IH8YOU]

Level 100: Born-Again Virgin :+

[TarotCardKiller]

If you look in Options/Game Guide, it states, "rise through the ranks... from 'Trainee'... to 'Legend'." I'm assuming level 100 is Legend.

[leungbok]

Was level one "trainee" ? I don't remember :?:

[stinkleroy]

Yeah Leung it was :)

I'm thinking rank 100 should be titled 'Gollum'...surely after that much time indoors that's who you would resemble ;)

[JJohnEames]

@ Tck: I think level 50 was legend, (correct me if im wrong). They probably havnt updated it in the game guide.

[TarotCardKiller]

If level 50 'was' Legend before, I think they changed it to 'Conqueror' (spell check)

[JFthebestJan]

If you look in Options/Game Guide, it states, "rise through the ranks... from 'Trainee'... to 'Legend'." I'm assuming level 100 is Legend.

in german it states from "anfänger(trainee)" ... to "unsterblich(immortal)".

[Golgofier]

A legend is immortal, no?

[JFthebestJan]

who said this? trainee is "anfänger" in german; legend is "legende" in german; immortal is "unsterblich" in german. i guess rank 100 will be "immortal".

[Aeroracer]

i would like it that cetain high ranks are rewarded with maybe.. for example new ship skins..maybe rank 100 has glowing gold ship or something..it would make players want to pursue rank more and give incentive to play more..meaning more games and more fun or all...

[mic-dk]

A legend is immortal, no?

If a legend is forgotten, it dies. You know, just like the... eeh...

That is a good idea Jasmin, a reward for every 10 levels or something, probably a bit late to implement it now, maybe next time. Not sure how many hours it would take to go from 1 to 100 but it should have some reward for doing it.

If they patch it again will they make it to rank 150?

[OBH]

Rank 100 title? OBH of course :g
jokes jokes jokes

Love stinkleroys "gollum" idea! thats brilliant! :D

[ProblemSolver]

@jasmin-jade: Quite unfortunately, SL did - n o t h i n g - within this regard.
The lack of personality is a killer and it somehow kills me every day a bit
more. I mean it's so easy to do something, but I think they didn't wanted
to do anything about it, to not get in touch with the fans too closely. :| You
remember Warhawk? Warhawk's developers, Incognito, crafted the names
of some of the most successful public beta-tester onto their crafts!

[2007-08-20] US PS Blog: Ode to the Warhawk Public Beta (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/08/ode-to-the-warhawk-public-beta/)

[il_mago_di_Doz]

ProblemSolver, I didn't know that because I don't play warhawk, but that's awesome!
Plus, it would be SO easy for SL, in fact I think that at least 95% of the best WOHD players I've seen online is here in the zone... Is there a little hope for the future in yuor opinion? Don't SL members care about their fans? :(
Greetings to every top player in this forum by a new pizza's member. Cheers :) :pizza

[ACE-FLO]

SL often visit this forum! And have always kept us informed of developments right here, at the zone! Caring? Too strong a word! Informing - is better!

And thanks Il mago ... I'll have a pizza for lunch, now that you mention it! :)

[blackwiggle]

Well SL did implement one of my suggestions regarding the level icon getting a more golden colour as your level got higher.
.
That happened with the FURY update.

It wasn't exactly how I described it,I meant the level icon you see next to your name on the online board,not the one you see when you look in the badges section.

Maybe this online lobby icon will change colour to gold when you hit 100,it already gets larger the higher you get.
Guess we will find out in about 3 weeks as that's how long I reckon it will take Sinus1 to get it.

If it is something special I bet the online boards will be lighting up like a Xmas tree with everybody trying to get it.

[leungbok]

Ohhh :eek
Now that SL follows your suggestions, can you talk about a replay and video mode working pretty the same as the photo mode ? ;)

[reach-big7]

mad wiper:hyper

[Koleax]

Now that SL follows your suggestions, can you talk about a replay and video mode working pretty the same as the photo mode ? ;)

But they don't follow his suggestions exactly, so they'll end up doing something like a replay mode without the ability to save replays. :paperbag

[blackwiggle]

I posted that suggestion ages ago,it was in one of Darkfearytales polls I think,about what would you like to see in the upcoming DLC.
It didn't seem like a huge change in the game and would be easy to implement.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it in the FURY.

But then again SL might of planned to do it anyway ,guess we will never know.:P

I wonder just how many of other aspects of HD ,or any previous version of wipeout for that matter, have be influenced by ideas brought up by wipeoutzone members over the years.

As we know they do read the forum, even if they do not actively participate as much as we would like.

Colin berry's last visit was today and Paul Tweedle's 13th Oct :D

[ProblemSolver]

Now it's clear to me; reach level 100 and you don't have to watch all
those ads again.

"What will the name be for 100% of Level 100 online rank be?"
Advert-free I

xD

[blackwiggle]

That post just proves a often wondered point.

Are there any German comedians?

NO :lol

[breadhead]

I think it will be like Comic Book guy from the Simpsons as he's about to get hit by a nuclear missile:

"Oh I've wasted my life"

[xtriko]

It will be "Noob" lol

[JFthebestJan]

the name 4 rank 91-100 is immortal. :]

close

[leungbok]

Hmmm, i was wondering about that ? Is it possible to become "immortal" only with venom races ?

[JFthebestJan]

atm. i prefer racing rapier (online). i guess it doesn't matter what speed class u r racing online. when i race flash or venom it seems to me, that the rank-progress is similar to rapier and phantom.

only the "makers" can tell us how it's functioning.

[leungbok]

I wasn't refering at you particulary :) Just another nonsense about those rankings IMO. ;)

[Danterich]

Now sinus1 is beyond level 100. He reached level 101 (OVERLORD) already!?!
Will he ever stop playing this game??

[shapealot]

its called OVERLORD :mr-t

[Lance]

Does he have minions, now? ;)
