New Records

When I said that tower design could be record breaking, I meant it. I once said that I thought 56m was possible, and now I've managed it, with a 56.058 Big smile (see leaderboard). I now reckon that 57 could be done with a few refinements to the design.
Achieving this new record is all down to the pre-rush starting height, which is a staggering 43.3! 2 metres taller than the previous one.
This is the first time I've managed to use all 300 balls. Another first is that I got the event on video -

.

Youtube videos,when they were uploaded,video description,youtube and goofans comments,video quality and when they joined wogfan.(which means DaB didn't join while those records were made)

I'll go over your list and see if I can come up with anything new. Its about time we got some names with the records.

It must because of my way of building

Here's how I build the centre square, if thats the problem.

Fisty's Bog 21 goo and upper shaft 58 goo is still open for you peter.

I might have a go at them some time. Remind me, where did the 58th ball come from for shaft? Do you mean the one on the roof? I thought it couldnt be got.

I noticed I can't find levels to get my goo counts up. I've been trying infesty and blustery day but no luck.

I see what you mean; you've got good scores on most of them. I suppose you'll just have to keep trying the ones where you're 4 or more balls off the record. Like Drool, Blustery day, whistler, tentacle, burning man, SHS, misty, infesty, vane. Also, you should be able to max graceful failure.

Congratulation on the the new 56 meter tower! But I liked your 55 meter tower design better. Tongue

I know how to make the square, just my strands again. I get bored if I work with a tower for a very long time. I try to do it fast and it messes my tower up.

Yes the roof one. Theres only a way to get it off from the anchor and that is by making an ivy stuck on place. Sadly I was trying this for a long time and my hand started to hurt as it didn't speed-clicked. I know ivy can be speed clicked, I saw it while doing the max goo of third wheel. It's power is same as a bone or balloon. The problem is to get speed-clicked.

I've been trying them all but cant get anywhere. graceful failure is one of me hardest level to get max goo as I tried it lots of times. I'll try Drool though.

You should try SHS faster, I got 8 second on it by doing the OCD method of trowing the goo on the hand.

Yeah, it did look better, but it doesnt really matter what it looks like, as long as it does the job.

I get bored if I work with a tower for a very long time. I try to do it fast and it messes my tower up.

It doesnt take that long to make a tower with that design; maybe half an hour. Just make sure each layer is straight before moving on and try not to rush it.

Yes the roof one.

I would think the roof ball is too close to the edge of the screen to get a speed-clicked ball on to.

I've been trying them all but cant get anywhere. graceful failure is one of me hardest level to get max goo as I tried it lots of times. I'll try Drool though.

You should try SHS again seeing as you're 10 off max. Getting 30+ shouldnt be too hard. You could also get a few more on shaft and server farm. Is your total still 1,482?

You should try SHS faster, I got 8 second on it by doing the OCD method of trowing the goo on the hand.

I dont think it can be done any faster, whichever method is used.

Does anyone know if its possible to stop WOGCorp connecting to the net and showing up those clouds?

Edit: @nav, Just seen the new profile you uploaded showing 1,488. Only 6 more and you'll be in 2nd place for balls collected. You cant give up now you're so close.

I made a new tower and set a new record, with a 56.882. While its not 57, I think its as good as, and I've had enough of trying. I'll go higher when nav beats it. Laughing out loud
I think this new design is the best one. Its got a 43.78 pre-rush starting height!
I'll upload the vid of it tomorrow.

I tried upper shaft and had to accept that the roof goo cant be ripped off.

Now my total is 1494 (I'm in second place now! Smile)

I improved: SHS- 27 to 29 goos
Misty-58 to 62. (I killed the 63rd goo accidentally when I was getting the goos to the pipe)

6 more goos left now.

Wow 2 new tower in just 2 days which has passed 55 meters! The structure is stable but It leans to much when it reaches 30 meters for me, and all my strands were same. I don't think I can get to 55 meter, let alone 50. I don't understand why DaB couldn't get 50 with his tower.

One more thing, do you intentionally make the starting point of the final rush a bit bend? I saw it in your 3 towers and also in bucks 51 meter tower

@Mygod, that hosts thing worked a treat, thanks.

@nav, well done on second place, thats quite an achievement.

6 more goos left now.

Left to what, you reach 1,500?

The structure is stable but It leans to much when it reaches 30 meters for me

Any tower that goes 30+ meters is always going to start leaning and will need constant kicking to keep straight. I wouldnt have thought it'd be a problem for you.

I don't understand why DaB couldn't get 50 with his tower.

He made that tower near to the end of his time on goofans. So I think he just wanted to get one on the leaderboard before he left and wasnt too fussed about the height.

do you intentionally make the starting point of the final rush a bit bend?

Yes, its so you can build up in a straight line; you wouldnt want to start on a flat surface. Every top 10 towers like that (even yours) except DaB's. His tower must've been leaning at an angle before the rush so had to compensate for it.

@rainy, thanks. Its been ages since I last saw you on here.

@gogeo, you will! Well, I should get back to work on the tower again Wink

Yes 6 more goos left. My main goal was to reach 1500 so i'm trying mostly max goos now and not much moves and time.

Whacking is a bit hard for me again as I didn't play for a few days. It's okay now but my tower leans too much. Counter-weights doesn't help me much even. But I'm sure I can fix it somehow.

Did you ever tested Grape vine virus which me lead to more balls? Pavke said more was possible on it.

I don't get one thing though, Why does a speed-clicked balloon vanish when it rips of a strand but bones doesn't disappear? I was kindda wondering it while doing misty.

No, I haven't. Pavke wanted to keep the method secret for some reason.

Dont know. Maybe to do with the bone weighing more.
.

I've gone through your missing names list; can you answer the questions:

Chain max goo: Kopa has earliest vid

Welcoming Unit max goo: Matthew Richardson has earliest vid. Why do you mention Pavke?

Whistler least move: you say Pavke - where'd you find this?

Volcanic Percolator Day Spa least move: Lagmastersam has earliest vid

Beauty And The Electric Tentacle least move: I presume you think it was Marius from reading Troutwhale's vid description here: "Getting the OCD again using slightly less dubious methods. Thanks to Marius from the official forums for showing us mortals how to do this and for being absolutely insane."
When he says "how to do this", he could be talking about the OCD, so its not certain.

Burning Man least moves: Lagmastersam has earliest vid

Second Hand Smoke least move: Kopa has earliest vid

Second Hand Smoke least OCD time: You wrote "Pavke gave the idea of this being completed in 10 seconds OCD to Kopa, so it might be Pavke". Where'd you find this?

Water Lock least moves: LTumbleweed has earliest vid

Product Launcher least moves: AluxiousE has earliest vid

Graphic Processing Unit max goo: dwerdwer has earliest vid

Road Blocks max goo: dwerdwer told Mygod that he did it first

Graceful Failure least moves: LTumbleweed has earliest vid

Deliverance least moves: you say Pavke - where'd you find this? LTumbleweed has the earliest vid saying its based on Marius's strat.

Observatory Observation Station Least time: you say Kopa - where'd you find this?

So, the only one we can say for certain is that dwerdwer did road blocks. All the rest rely on earliest vid, which isn't a definitive answer. I'll need to ask the uploaders if they know anything. Can you and Mygod post any messages that you sent and received so I can see them to make sure I dont ask the same questions.

I'd guess it's the dampening="0.1" (a forcefield with a high dampeningfactor can give you a similar glitch) combined with the lower mass.

Joined: 09/17/2012

Welcoming Unit- Ignore Pavke, Matthew got it first.

Whistler- My mistake, Kopa got it first. I saw when he uploaded his profile and he was the fastest to get 0 moves..

Beauty and the Electric Tentacle- Marius still got 0 moves on it, so its Marius.

Second hand smoke least time OCD- Its in Kopa 10 second run of SHS video first comment. You can guess Pavke got it than posted that comment. So Pavke.

Deliverance- Sorry again, Marius got it first.

Observatory Observation Station- Kopa uploaded his profile first showing he got 32 in that level and DaB said it was a first video of a old one so it might be Kopa (Though I couldn't find any 32 second video on Kopa's or Pavke's channel)

@Goomatz, So as long as a goo has a dampening factor it wont disappear if it rips of a strand? So than ivy cant disappear if it rips of a strand than.

Tumbler max goo:
dwerdwer has earliest vid (1 Dec 2008); Marius earliest profile (28 Oct 2008)

Chain max goo: Given to Tao (aka 城市野生动物 (Urban Wild Animal)
Mygod found some old screenshots from 27 Oct 2008 showing Tao having 39, plus he topped the leaderboard on 30 Oct 2008.
Kopa has earliest vid (30 Dec 08), but there are two other people who upped a profile with record before him:
Marius ~ Tue, 12/02/2008
Jairo ~ Tue, 12/02/2008
Kopa ~ Wed, 12/24/2008
dwerdwer thinks that it was done first by either 城市野生东西 (Urban wild things) or 桃太郎3 (Momotaro 3).

Can one of the mods find out exactly who ron is; whats his username? Take a look at his 3rd and 4th profile towers. Should he get the cheater badge for that.
Edit: found out it was dwerdwer.

Joined: 09/01/2009

Haha, that's too plain cool to mark as cheater. It's a fairly old profile, with no Goofans user attached, so I'd say it's not a big deal. I don't think the profile is doing any harm, so it's prolly ok.

Joined: 06/04/2010

I didnt know it was possible to upload profiles without an account. I asked about his cos he could have the record for GPU max goo.
Could you tell me the usernames of Jairo, Cycl4mate & Marius.

Where are those messages Mygod and nav? PM them to my youtube channel if you want.

Joined: 09/17/2012

Wow that list you made must have taken a lot of time. I didn't think of looking into Marius's profile closely enough, and not even Cycle4mate or Jairo (though I knew they were very good players). Jairo,Marius and Cycle4mate made many records with their names, I don't think you will need their username to update Wogfan. And I didn't post any message to anyone, I just found it out by myself.

Joined: 09/01/2009

None of those three profiles have a goofans user linked to them, either.

A lot of profiles were imported from Soultaker's site a while back, and thus there's no goofans user with that profile (Since those people never were actually on goofans). I don't think it's currently possible to upload a profile without having an account here.

Joined: 06/04/2010

Wow that list you made must have taken a lot of time.

Yes, it did take a while. I checked all the names I recognised, plus some of the other high ball count scorers like ron. That one was a lucky find.

I don't think you will need their username to update Wogfan.

I wouldn't, but its good to know it so we can see all the other info on the user.

@Mygod, Good find; I remember seeing it now. Also, fixed that link.

Here's something strange I've found. There's a player called 0001 that has a profile with the time for SHS as 6 seconds. Thats 2 faster than mine! What do you think of that?
I dont suppose this one has a user either MOM?

If profiles were imported from another site, then they might not be accurate. Wont the dates just be for when they were ported over?

Joined: 09/17/2012

I don't think it's possible for someone do it in 6 seconds, I thought 7 was the least. Also 0001 isn't a speed-type person, you can see he completed the levels very slowly. Also, why isn't kopa in the wogfan team on the YouTube Chanel or the site? He was a part of the wogfan and has a few records.

Joined: 09/01/2009

I dunno; that profile has a lot of Goo Balls collected, too. I was under the impression that you needed a screenshot or video to claim a new record, anyway, so I'd say just ignore that profile. There's no Goofans user attached.

All these people building new towers has got me worried that I'll be knocked out of the top 50, and then I'll no longer have more badges than anyone else. Tongue Ah, well. I haven't been playing World of Goo to keep up, so I'll just get what's coming.

Good job on your new badge, Mygod! And your tower that's taller than mine... Smile

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure about the problem in the wogfan database, I can give you access to change the details if you like well to peterB anyway.

Joined: 06/04/2010

why isn't kopa in the wogfan team

Simple answer, I dont know.

the tower got so unstable at last so I have to rush earlier and got this 41.32m tower

It doesn't look that unstable. I think you could go a lot higher, so get to it. Smile

so I'd say just ignore that profile

I will; it must be a cheat.

@weed, The problems not with the wogfan site. We're just trying to find out who set the records on that list. I'm sure all the answers are on the 2D Boy forum, but we cant access that.

@Peter,you know there are18 balls in the fly away little ones ,but you only got 15,why?So give me some time and I will beat you.
And ode 7moves is possible too.
What about HTIC?Can the balloon detach the balls?
Now I only got1378,but I think I can get 1400 even 1500

eeee

Joined: 09/17/2012

18 in fly away little one is possible, but in a way impossible. For now the max you can get is 16 (i'm still waiting for peter to do it Tongue)

Ode 7 move is definitely possible also, peter gave the strat to me to do it but I need to practice whacking again and i'm busy getting the last 6 goos till I reach 1500. Hopefully in 3-4 days I can achieve it and go back to moves and time.

No you need another balloon to detach it, its impossible to get all the goos in HTIC.

Peter,For some reason everyone is challenging you to beat your records. Why cant they try beat my 11 move record of ToG and get 8 on it? Sad

@mygod, Congrates on your new tower and badge! It looks stable as peter said it. Have you tried counter weights or whacking the structure? That should make it steady for a few seconds and you can build higher.

@MOM, Don't worry, Only peter has 6 badges and he needs to be a mod to get be the same as you, other have mostly 3-5.

I'm gonna play a bit more wog. I was trying to tool assist fly away little ones.

As for the records your asking the wrong person I got into wog late and didnt join the community till later, sorry guys. I think I did set water lock 0 move though.

@gooballs, nav answered everything.
I'm still not keen on fly away; maybe weed'll get it done. Same goes for ode.

Why cant they try beat my 11 move record of ToG and get 8 on it?

You should be happy no ones interested; at least you'll keep the record.

I was trying to tool assist fly away little ones.

Instead, try doing it none-tas and set the record. Someones gotta do it.

I think I did set water lock 0 move though.

Thats good to know. Now only 14 left to go!

Hey Mygod, did you contact dwerdwer by his youtube channel?
