Loading times are killing me.

Are the servers getting hammered or what?

 

[runlikehell]

I played last night with LiquidMetal and it was silky smooth.

Tried playing with two of my mates today and after every level one or both of them would be stuck at a loading screen until I kicked and re-invited them but it didn't fix it every time, I gave up in the end.

We also tried with them hosting instead of myself and had the same issues. Can't figure out what the problem is (if it's our fault and not the servers getting hammered) as the three of us are in the UK.

:b yeah LBP1 LBP2 AND LBP.me all linked up maybe doing it i know icant get on LBP.me right now

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

just realised they didn't remove the 100 layer object exploit. i am a happy sack ^.^

 

[Snuggles]

two more questions

1. Does anyone happen to remember which LBP1 has the lantern light object? I need it for my level but I seem to have missed it.

2. How would you go about making a flickering light?

 

[Ranger X]

Yes the servers are completely hammered. There was like 60 000+ players at the same time this afternoon. Might be even worse now as it is rush hour in North America.

1- The lantern (medieval) is from Pirates of The Carribean. Chinese lantern is one of the chinese levels. Christmas lantern is Christmas pack (duh).

i was just about to ask about this

 

[GeoramA]

The servers have been fucked all day. It took about 5 minutes to load up a story level when I was logged in this morning.

I'm just playing the story missions offline for now.

 

[Snuggles]

Thanks Ranger.

And yeah, even LBP.me isn't working for me either. Damn, the guys at Media Molecule sure have their work cut out for them. Hopefully it can be ironed out soon and it won't be a long term issue, cause I'm dying for some co-op.

 

[ashbash159]

Just finished the single player and I had tons of fun.

It's kind of surprising how much improved LBP2 is over LBP1 when you pop back in to the single player levels of the first game. I certainly forgot and thought they were way better than they actually are.

I also thought that overall the game was too easy but I had a lot of fun despite this issue. I can't wait for more people to get creating and make things that haven't even been thought of yet!

 

[Lion Heart]

Crazy, I bought it launch morning and it had 5,000 players online. A couple hours later it had 12,000. No wonder the servers have stalled, I can't do anything right now.

 

[Ranger X]

Actually, there was problems at first when LBP1 came out. It's like they NEVER can be prepared for the load. This happens in all online events many games --- I never understood why. I mean, if you think you will have 60 000 peeps, put servers for 90 000! It's better to exagerate at first and REMOVE some service later.

 

[CozMick]

Just logged into LBP1 and there are 15,000+ players, LBP2 has approx 55,000+ players.

Surely that amount of players shouldn't bog down the servers as it's doing now?

Well, looks like it does uh?

 

[CozMick]

Well, looks like it does uh?

Unfortunately

And I'm starting to think that my LBP1 profile is the cause of the "Sackboy head not moving" problem.

Created a new profile, didn't import anything and it works fine.

Is there anyway to export my LBP1 content from LBP2?

Please say YES!

considering the people who can't get online right now 55,000 players is surely just what it's trying to handle right now. i wonder how long it'll be until a fix

Also i'm trying to make a shmup, whats the best way to get a floating object to move up and down a set distance repeatedly so that it is an obstacle, without using pistons.

I mean considering preorder numbers what were they thinking. It seems pretty ignorant to know approximately how many people will try to play the game online in the first days and still not to prepare for the first wave. I mean it's not like I care because I am still waiting for the game, but after finishing the story some people will most likely just give up on the game if this won't be fixed in couple of days.

 

[jump_button]

Dont forget LBP.me who know how many are on that/trying too

 

[paperheart]

I Aced every level in the game. Then, I looked at the trophy list, and saw that you have to Ace 10 levels in a row. Well, I know I'm doing the beginning levels for sure.

 

[jayb]

If they could get the infinite loading problem fixed, online play would be great. Once I actually finish loading/connecting to an online player, it's silky smooth ... which is a big improvement over lbp1.

 

[Ranger X]

Please say YES!

Why would you want to do that? It's not like your LBP1 stuff disappear once it's imported in LBP2.

 

[MThanded]

Game got!

Try holding the PS button, turn the controller off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on. That fixed the infinite loading screen for me. I do it every time it happens.

 

[RoboPlato]

Finished the story mode and I loved it all the way through. This is definitely a game for anyone who loves gaming. Tried out a few community levels and saw some good stuff already. Can't wait to see what else comes out of it.

 

[Madman]

Probably a sequencer with movers in it that have high acceleration and dampening

 

[deadnoob]

Does LBP2 have online level building with friends?

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone remember where to get the green bubble skin for costumes? Also how did the creators add eyes for normal sackbots?

 

[NeoUltima]

Don't have LBP2 yet, but LBP1 did(2 ppl only). So I would assume so.

 

[Phenomic]

So I haven't picked up LBP2 yet however I played it last night and I'm dying to pick it up now. Curious about something though and I'm sure this has been answered probably already. How do the games link and connect with each other via Media Molecule levels and how does user generated content work between the games?

I know all the DLC and content from 1 transfers over to two. However, can my friend be playing 2 and I play 1 and still play with each other online? For LBP1 levels only or something? Or do we both have to be playing 1 to get online for 1 and 2 to get online for 2.

whats the name of the level?

 

[Corto]

The game is just beautiful. Also having connection troubles in game and in lbp.me site. Had to play on my own through some single player levels. I could spend a few hours on those little mini games levels on single player. Really addictive to best our score/time on those!

 

[Hot Coldman]

So bad. I wouldn't mind, but there was an AWESOME MvC2 game floating around during beta.

 

[Hazelhurst]

Sony should partner with Skittles to help market LBP2. The colors.

Funny to see GAF playing that SFII level, it's like a hilarious version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. I had a blast playing it with my son. LOL

 

[TurboLibre]

A couple of questions regarding enemies:

How do you arm them? I know how to make a basic emitter that throws out the occasional bomb, but I can't seem to get a real attack going.

The next question has to do with sackbots. I was playing around with some of the circuit board stuff and managed to make a setup where once a timer ran out, he was set to use one of three random "attack" charges. Problem is once the timer ran out it was done, I couldn't manage to find a way to reset it so his attacks were always on. What am I missing here?

Thats what i'm trying to figure out. They also seemed to be able to stick material onto sackbots in the story mode (the meanie horns and single eye, as well as the LED eyes for normal sackbots).

Oh man, got into that game with my brother online last night. Just throwing a leg up and kicking the other dude in the nads is hilarious.

Also, after he beat me he did this flying jump and just sat on the ground.

It was awesome!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It really is, it's in world 3. Best minigame ever.

Isn't there a way to substract a number from a counter? This way a counter that was "on" with a certain number of increments could be back to "off".

 

[rollingstart]

someone need to explain how the grapple works. fowl play was a disaster because it just wasn't working for me and now I'm convinced I'm doing it wrong. it seems so random; sometimes it reels in, sometimes I swing, other times I just stop, other times I swing slow. I've tried holding a direction, not touching anything and just letting momentum carry me, but nothing seems to work consistently.
