using 85 but voted 105 :P

going for 105 because thats how i play :D
100 (current?) and 110 are also fine i guess, the rest isnt really suited for a stream imho

i think 110 is a bit too high for stream.. 105 is perfect.

somewhere between the lines of 110-115

its fine as it is, if stream would be wide-screen then i would vote for 105 or 110

agreed here. It makes a big difference.

4:3 aspect ratio should use 100 imo.
16:10/16:9 should use 110+

i play with 90, but 100 is the best to go with for the stream. makes it look a bit faster paced, without sacrificing visibility or making it look arcadish and shit.

something else about the stream, try to tone down the banter out of the game. it gets pretty cringe worthy tbh.

i agree it looks that way faster.

what is banter?

banter - das Wortgeplänkel

the random stuff they talk about that isn't related to the game, either during, after or before the game.

It's 2good's fault imo. Joe actually knows what he's doing, but 2good only just muddles his way through most of the time. Can get very boring, confusing and tedious at times, and ultimately brings the quality down. But on the other hand 2good does speak from a players point of view, commenting on strategic pro's and cons and calls the item timing. This is a real benefit to the viewers.

In general, they both do a great job!

In your opinion

In my opinion, your opinion on this opinion is just your opinion.

Erm, it's Joe who constantly brings up random topics/stories which are long winded and end up being little more than "I saw a fox once".

Anyway, I like it like this.

That's him being polite. What do you want him to say, "stfu infecting me with your banal sense of humour" ? Man, 2good reminds me of Halfwit from big brother, dribbling on nonsense bs due to nerves in social situations.

Each to his own - that's one of the things I love about this stream.

What I find far more cringeworthy is the usual commentary: "He picked up red. Okay, now he picked up mega. Oh, there's a fight. Okay, he killed him. Now he's picking up red."

Either you like the OT banter or you don't. But having Jay on board to time the items for us, talk about the angles of attack and generally offer the player's perspective just sets this stream above everything else I've seen before.

Play by play is so utterly pointless usually because it's of the POV you are watching. Seriously what's the point of play by play casting of what you can see?

It would be much better if that part of the casting was of the stuff you can't see.

Your opinions are relevant to my interests.

surely it depends on widescreen or 4:3?

playing and watching are 2 different things. i think its best watching demos or live under 100 (95) when watching because its easier to see the opponent player at far distance.

btw the picmip should be 10 and fullbright set to 1...

105-110 fov best for 16:9/10 widescreen

100 fov for 4:3 screen

cg_forceenemymodel tankrj/bright

dont y' all agree?

keel/bright

keel/bright indeed :> tankjr makes it all look weird.

yes, but keel instead of tank.

On the FOV based on Aspect Ratio, yes definitely agree there.

make it to keel/bright, y' all ... -_^

cheers

just turn off the fucking music lol

hehe, gg

No ;'(

Instead of taking the fov that gets the most votes, I think you should average the fov by votes for each value, so that the total user base is happier. (though if everyone votes dishonestly there'll just be a lot of 120's and 90's picked.)

Right now the average fov is...

105.3 = [ 120*2 + 115*3 + 110*36 + 105*24 + 100*32 + 95*2 + 90*2 ] / 101

woot


i voted 110, so i'm shooting myself in the foot by advocating this, but it's democratic

Different kinds of Democracy... Doing what you suggested makes sense, but means that no one is "completely" happy, whereas taking the option with the most votes means a smaller portion of people are in complete support, even though the majority get shafted.

...doesn't mean much for a FOV poll, but it's a semi-interesting topic.

100!

105 imo. 110/100 seem to be the most common, so 105 is a good middle-ground.

Tell him to change his graphics too, it makes the stream look blurred! picmip 3 < 1 for viewing QL

yeah, if they used fox' video settings i think it would be an absolutely massive improvement to visibility.

ye, the well theres a picmip poll too, so hopefully get things changed by Thursday!

yeah, hopefully to 16 :p

considering there are non quake players watching, i think a lower value is better.

why? then the newbies can't see the items that the player playing can see in his view, and actually see less of whats going on around them.

my opinion is that the distortion of the pov will confuse them more then not having the benefits of a fish eye view

1.) most of these players play with fov 90-100
2.) with higher fov, everythings gets smaller and harder to recognize

voted for 100, but I have nothing against 90 though
more like cYmoZz said here, with higher fov it becomes difficult to see

higher fov might make individual objects harder to see, but it makes having a general clue what's going on, what the level looks like, and where the player's running easier to figure out, especially if you haven't seen the map or game much before.

play with 90, voted 110 for the stream

please go back to 100, imo 110 was terrible

110 is a bit too high.

100 or 105 is fine.

It's perfect how it is. Stop putting important things to ESR votes!

100 is a good balance between the highly popular 110, and a lower value like 90 which is preferred by a lot of players plus anyone new to Quake that may not of made any changes to their fov yet.

Why does anyone think people who don't play Quake would prefer 90? It's just an a made up value that used to be default in some games. Having a zoomed in view can be really disorienting if you haven't seen the level (or game) much... and the votes are averaging around 105.

90

for myself 100, but for stream i'd like 110

judging from the poll i'd say 105 is the choice here!

.

110 very bad..
use 100 plz

Yes, the setting yesterday (I guess it was 110) was not very spectator friendly, everything around the crosshair was microscopic, bad for spectating over stream.

103 imho ;) 120 is way too big. i can tolerate 110 but thats about it.

for me it should be max details

we picmip it out for playing but it would be great to spec it with gfx sets maxed out

fov 110 is ok for spec

110

It's nice to see everything but not too much without looking major distorted you know?
