Little Big Planet

[Rokku]

I keep getting random lag spikes. I wonder if I should put my PS3 into a DMZ on the router or not.

I've done that Rokku and I don't get many/if any lag spikes anymore. The only issue i keep dealing with is the fucking long ass time it takes to rewind while making levels. I spent some time yesterday making some cool objects & chairs (which is why i couldn't take your invite >_>; lol) but rewinding takes so damn long...Ugh, I will be on more Saturday if you want to Co-Op, I was just tooling around with switches etc while studying. I love the 8bit calculator someone made in the Beta version, I want to try and make it. >_>;

From the Official News Site:

The LittleBigPlanet servers have been experiencing significant problems throughout the past 24 hours affecting the online game experience. We are working round the clock on the solution to the current issues and we expect the service to improve very shortly.

Offline Play and Create will still function properly during any disruption.

Please accept our apologies for any frustration this may cause for the time being.

I always appreciate when something, ANYTHING, gets posted to let the players know it is being addressed. So hopefully soon you won't need to do anything unusual to avoid those spikes. The rewind thing was hideously counter productive in the beta. This time around, since i rarely can connect at ALL to the LBP Servers, i can create just fine. It is when i do connect to the laggy mess that things get unbearable.

Not really complaining, i am more than happy to wait it out. I have Dead Space and Fallout 3 to err... keep me calm.

FYI, if you invite me, know beforehand that I'm about 30% through the game (not a lot of time to play =/) and I'm not that good! I think all my dying annoyed Rokku to death.

[Doombear]

Haha! Thanks for the warning! If my 5 year old can handle most of the co-op stuff, i would think you can =P FYI - reading that the servers are back up and working flawlessly. Finally, hope that stays true.

[Tyche]

Yeah, I was just playing, they are working fine.

Nah, lol. Just because I've got 100% ace and yadda yadda doesn't mean I get annoyed by stuff like that, rofl. It's all good, I enjoy playing regardless, it's not like LBP is some high stress platformer or something. I died at a really bad spot on a fluke, or we could've tried that 2 sackperson area.

Server worked great all night, seems like they got it under control.

[Octavious]

I'll be playing with a friend on Saturday, if 1-2 more ppl want to tag along for the 4 person areas. :D

[Pyro]

So far the only multi character areas I haven't been able to do with just myself and multiple controllers are in The Canyons with the big green flaming "serpents" and the first area in The Collector's area. Still have the second and third area in The Collector's area to finish up. So at some point if a few people wanted to gather up and do those that would be awesome. That's all that's in the way of having 100% of the prize bubbles.

[Katlan]

Can you get all the items in the first world w/o another controller? Just started to play it last night, had a blast, but me and my friend were also pretty drunk at the time so I need to play more over the weekend to really explore. I will say that the music is awsome so far, nothing like making your character dance to the theme's lol

Tell me what time to be on at, or give me a call, and I'll be on.

[ChooChooTrain]

If anyone wants to play after 1:50 CST to 5:20 CST on LBP Co-op or race.. Add me to your friends, Marblebag is my PSN ID. Always like to play, not the best player but i've beaten the game, not 100%~

One thing i noticed once servers finally went up the other night... the max number of Publishable levels is 20 o.O I thought i remembered them saying it would be 5, and if they decided to, they could give a person more. 20... is... nice.

[Pyro]

I think the five was just for the beta.

Yes, you can get all the items for the first world with another controller by yourself. Like I said, I've still got to do the last two levels in the last world but so far the only ones I couldn't do by myself were the serpent one in The Canyons and the first level in the last world. I am pretty sure I could do the one in the last world but it might require tape and rubber bands.

I thought every person started with 5, and the more the levels you published got hearted, the more publishing spots that opened up. Did they scrap that idea? I haven't played with publishing levels yet, but since you had your level up from the beta, if they kept that idea, it'd explain why you had 20.

[Hiryo]

Looks like the servers are back up, trying out Graelinn's level LOL

[Doombear]

Mine are quite short Hiryo, but let me know what you think =P

[Boyiee]

This is the first game that has ever made me CRY laughing so hard.

Played online last night for hours, with the same guy for a while, typically 3-4 people that stuck around the whole time.

Doing the harder, short obstacle levels together was fucking hysterical. Several levels where we are all running forward then randomly we all blow up, amazing. Watching them try and get over an obstacle and missing 5 times in a row or something, or going up a giant elevator and punching or dragging one off of it lol. Amazing.

I'm really confused how people get such crazy outfits though, changing the colors of certain pieces... I get the idea of using a sticker I think to change its color, but this one guy was able to change his headband to like 5 different colors and I could not figure out how he got the entire headband changed where I can only get parts of things.

[Katlan]

Can you grab ppl in a lobby, or only play online w/ ppl on ur Flist?
