Petition to fix the leaderboards

[Colonel]

I'd like to start a petition to fix the WOHD leaderboards. Hopefully if we can get 100 or more "signatures" (I'm aiming for 200), Studio Liverpool, or Sony PSN, will listen and fix them. If not then at least we've tried. I understand it's an old game, and that Sony have more pressing priorities these days. But the fact is that broken leaderboards detract from an otherwise exceptional game, one that many of us still play far too much for it to be healthy :g.

So if you'd like to add your name to the list of signatures, please PM me or post in this thread:


Your PSN ID
Your real name


I'm going to send messages to all my friends on PSN, plus post on the different Wipeout facebook groups (I knew that site would come in handy ;)).

If anyone has any suggestions or comments at all regarding this, then just shout out.

Cheers,

Adam.

Fantastic idea ;) I'll send messages too to the wipers on my friends list. I think this could work :D

[Jav]

Good idea. PM sent!

[Ragsus Maxima]

Just a silly question. Aside from the PSN ID and the e-mail adress, should we send you our real names?

[Colonel]

That's a very good question Ragsus, and I'd be inclined to say "yes". I've never started a petition before so I'm somewhat of an amateur.

[Ragsus Maxima]

Everything has a first time, they say. :P

But anyway, there are petitions and petitions; some of them just require a nick and others will request some more data.

Great idea! the leaderboards are very annoying and 1 of the reasons i dont play much anymore.
Count me in!

PM sent Colonel. good luck!

[Colonel]

Two things have occurred to me:

1. Asking for an email address is unnecessary. All I need is your real name, and your PSN ID.

2. At the moment it's a bit of a "Don King contract" i.e. just sign here and I'll fill in the details later. So I'll type a draft of the petition in the first post tonight.

Many thanks to those who have already signed up. novide asked if I'd be using an online petition site. Not sure about this, might just do it manually and send it to SL's email address / mail them a hard copy. Any suggestions welcome.

Been liaising with SL over the phone. Relevant employee out of office today but I should be able to speak to them tomorrow. I'll pretend it's a TT: No messing about ;)

[Jav]

Nice one, Yeld. ;)

[Flint Fandango]

Great idea, it´s worth the effort!
PM sent - I really hope this will have a chance of success, mate! :+

[yawnstretch]

Excuse my ignorance - but what's up with the leaderboards?

[Jav]

Updating, they are not. /Yoda

Irritating to see a time of less than five seconds on a track that obviously takes AT LEAST 30 seconds per lap. Doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the game by itself, though, but the satisfaction of attempting to beat a good record is lost.

[Colonel]

Indeed, but I think the chances of getting all the glitches in the boards fixed are slim to none. I do like to think however they might get them updating again.

[Ragsus Maxima]

From these guys, I'd say the odds are quite scarce, but with the arrival of Wipeout 2048 maybe they'll think about this more seriously.

[yeldar2097]

Still out of the office. Not sure why it has to be this particular person but ok.
I shall speak to them on Monday.

[Colonel]

Good effort yeldar, best of luck.

By the way. sorry I haven't posted the draft petition yet, been kind of busy with one thing and another. I'll get it done this weekend.

omg awesome news! i wonder now if the times people had set in the period that they had not been working will re update? otherwise people will have to o over the records all over again :L not that im fussy, you dont understand how much i want the leaderboards self updating and will happily try to match my records but others may not :P

[goddessloviatar]

Totally, utterly brilliant!
I started reaching an acceptably mediocre skill level when the boards broke, cant wait to see if my online rank goes up or down!

[Reezy]

Great work Gadaffi, excited for this new patch!

[SaturnReturn]

Well done. Good effort!
