he wasnt at qcon with 403 for ctf so you know he sucks.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOLOLOLOL

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at that thread you posted on the QuakeLive forums of the guy complaining about people tierslumming










If you find it hard to aim on CS:S (lol), then FPS' really aren't for you.

dunno if this is level but anyway;

"If you find it hard to aim on CS:S (lol), then FPS' really aren't for you. "

I do find it pretty damm hard compared to what im used to on different games.

I read ya post and thought "well, it can't be that hard can it?"

I don't even play CS:S (I actually play CS1.6) and without any experience on how to play the damn game, how to control the gun's recoils or whatever, I jumped on a DM server with the shitty default config (seriously, it's so bright my eyes wanted to cry) just to see how I would fair.

Saying that, what the fuck? CS:S deathmatch is just about the easiest shit I've ever played. Maybe it was the server I was playing, or maybe all CS:S players are just retarded, but the game couldn't be any easier if you gave all the players an aimbot... I demo'd it just for shits n giggles.

I will add, the game is shit. Not really the most groundbreaking piece of news in the world, but still. Even if I was playing with a fucked router, it's hit-reg is worse then QuakeLive (and that's saying something). You can aim at someone's balls and get a headshot if you're lucky (and that's not spraying), and on the opposite spectrum you can shoot bang on someone's head or quickscope them perfectly and it won't register (lol). That's not to mention the painfully slow reload time and the movement which is about as slow and sluggish as old people fucking. Truth of the matter is - it's a game made for people that can't walk and chew gum

If anyone really wants to see the lolz of how shit the game is... demo attached...

edit: ok esr had a hissy fit, so I'll just speedyshare it for anyone's desperately bored :p

Just not really a fan of any source games for FPS multiplayer expect TF2. Used to play CS:S when it first came out on those stupid breakfloor maps just for the novelty but the sludgy feeling of movement just put me off after a while. Too used to the sharp movement of 1.6 :[

cs 1.6 = good

Public CS:S is like shooting fish in a barrel

that isnt public its from some random night cup i played in once

The fuck? Those players look clueless lmao

who the fuck do you think you are?

suck me rikk

you make me sick motherfucker

rofl why you recording public deathmatch? :D

At the time of recording i was reviewing the VX2260WM on the overclockers forums where i bought it, it was my first LCD i would then use for pc gaming. Came upon the demo in my folders a few months later and decided to record it :)

ahh :D

its not you its the game. its easy. counter strike is an easy game unless you are retarded. i remember playing that game at the highest levels possible back 5 years ago and just destroying it.

counterstrike source sure... I've always thought it'd retarded easy mode. 1.6 is where it's at

lol? i mean ... dude?!

Go back to the quakelive forums.

.......

the complaint is tierslumming? I'm not sure I follow what exactly your complaint is.

the only thing i found interesting in this thread is that 'revenant' is playing ql... oldschool

yeah, he played at quakecon too with clan id, very nice to see him play again. Remember him playing for IV back in the FRAG4 days =)

He's been playing it since closed beta and was also at QC08. He did some contract jobs for the ql team and now he's hired on board with them full time. :)

This is fucking hilarious, why do you care so much? So pathetic. Almost as pathetic as when raythenoob called me a machine gun hack on qzctf4 and threatened to get me banned.

explain tierslumming plox

In ye olde days before XboxLive fags, there was a time when all gamers played together in perfect harmony. People considered better players simply better and they learnt to adapt by either getting better or finding ways around it.

Since then, in an attempt to pander to the breed of 90s kid, tiers were introduced to stop them getting owned by better players because they're ulow consolelolfagz that think everyone is haxing just because they're better then them.

HOWEVER, upon inventing tiers, little did the scientists and mathematicians behind The Great Tier System realize that people could just make new accounts (known as alias' or 'newb accounts') and could pretend to be low skilled by loosing to Crash 153 : -2 (or recently, just putting 'Beginner' difficulty at the start screen of QuakeLive's new account), jumping into a low skill tier server, strafe jumping around the server stacking up on MH's, RA's and every quad that spawns, raping everyone in sight whilst occasionally typing "LOLUMADBRO?". This is done until they get bored of the owning tedium and leave the other lowly peasants to awkwardly walk around DM6 spamming grenade launchers.

i would love the ability to spam grenade launchers.

I think that's only possible if you get the achievement "HullotharImfromXboxlive" - another system the creators of The Great Tier system made which encourages players to keep playing with meaningless achievements occasionally coupled with a reward such as a new weapon, coloured hats or a DLC badge that only you can see

FUCKIN A! My biggest problem with Quake Live :D

i don't understand what you're trying to show in the screenshots?

Thought you quit QL?

All this energy should be directed into getting better, instead of raging at a winnerjoiner.

exactly what I thought...how much time did he put into complaining about this?

i think i need more screenshots and a couple of irc-logs before i make up my mind!

I guffaw'ed.

I would agree that this is a bit excessive, maybe even pointless what the OP did. Though I think the whole tier and matchmaking system is as well. I'd much rather see static servers with unique names so players know which server(s) pros or higher level players play on and which ones less skilled players are on.

On the other hand, if you are going to setup a system and insist on using it, and having guidelines or rules regarding it's usage. Then you should make sure you have the ability to enforce it, for everyone.

THANKS FOR THIS IMPORTANT INFOS

have you tried militia?

OLOLOLOLOLOLLO

Who cares? Everyone even mildly average is better than Incubus and I was glad not to see him in real pickups when those were still around in Quake Live. He is playing in the proper skill range.

Not enough screenshots to convince me. I need at least 2 or 3 more..

My only response can't resist ROFLUMADBRO

isnt.403 the team with Slasher and DjWheat

youre still going on with this? heh, wasnt funny for a second, and youre doing it for months now..

trolled enough to make you reply

nice.

yea, pointing out to an idiot, that hes retardation is anoying means you got trolled.. strong logic there...

While I don't really care about this issue, I find it somewhat hilarious that someone is so concerned with their stats that they play on noob tiers.

if I did not tierskip I would only have 20% acc :(

>:(

This is amazing work. You are on the right track here and we support you fully.

It's just a ploy from Incubus, I wouldn't doubt if Incubus put raythenoob up to this as some kind of attention-seeking ego-feeding proposition for himself.

Yeah all the aliasing is ridiculous in quakelive and that is why id cannot be accurate in their publishing on how many players that play quakelive is because of all the aliasing.

True enough though, of all trolls Incubus is just as guilty as the others so he can't say shit.

So what I got out of this is that Incubus is gay (which I knew already because lol@Q4instagib), but so is OP. Maybe you two should just get it over with and fuck?

but then you'd be the only virgin left :-(

man the fuck up..

lol at nearly 6k posts in ql forums.....just fuckign sad

Ray, I'll give you your advice:
You need to disconnect yourself from INCubus. It will only hurt you.

Yeah so many do it can't single out incubus, it's just that incubus is not even subtle about what he does. So he definitely asks for it, especially when he is a king at talking shit on the servers to the people he is stacked up against.

Having tons of accounts does fuck up the game and skews it on many levels, id needs to find a way to work around that.

that's nice

wow this incubus guy is good


fuck you ray

What ?

I didn't understand ANYTHING.

Should be pretty easy to figure out he's saying this guy (who is now a ql forum mod) is unfairly privledged by id apart from the rest of ql's userbase because of his multiple account's. That and his 'tier slumming' (according to OP) 'sets a bad example' for what QL shouldn't be. I do agree that tier-slumming is bad for QL and can shun away user's from the game who feel like they don't have a chance but that's really QL's fault for not creating a better match-making system with more controls over where people can play. Or atleast inform people in some quick way about unranked servers which will have skilled players on them, then other ffa servers that will be restricted to less skilled players only.

mimimi there is some guy owning newbs mimimi



seriously, get a life

Stand corrected, compare DaHanG and Incubus, I see incubus being on SK or EG soon.
Incubus stats-->
Capture The Flag
3,146 2,886 2,730 260 92% 87%

dahang ctf stats--->
Capture The Flag 793 714 527 79 90% 66%

Dudes over at EG need to have a bit of job insecurity looking at them numbers, that's some pro mofo' stats right there!

Incubus completes 2 more percent and wins 21 more and yet has played thousands more games, that's some stellar gameplay!

looks like all ctf stats. dahang is a dueler isnt he?

looking at his duel results, he's a better ctf player

He's one of the best at both.

Once - because of curiosity - I joined a US CTF server (where I had about 150 ping with some nasty spikes btw). The other players changed map to ctf4 (!) and pressed f3 forcing me into a game.
My team quickly left (except one), and since I never quit, I found myself (almost) alone against this guy and some other players.

Anybody who plays Quakelive knows that no human have any kind of chance against a good player with 150 ping (even if he was pretty far from being a pro). Besides some lucky shoot, with fluxing 150ms, you are dead before you spawn, and I'm sure he knew that it's gonna be a rape right after the first few seconds. I was asking for "maybe 1 over:)" several times but he just quickly capped 7. After that he got my flag and went up to the pad above the base and he was railcamping there for more then 15 minutes (!) before capping to make it 8:0.

Posting any kind of thread about a obviously deranged and retarted egokid,
- who vote and plays ctf4 (??! again ctf4!),
- who is a QL moderator and a friend of the QL admins,
- who is a honorless statwhore,
- who is .......................... etc,

is just sick and sad, Period.


TLDR: dude, you should care less about this kind off ppl, just ignore him the same way how QL staff ignores the community!

TBH if he's a mod and really does all this shit that's pretty lame but that's what I've come to expect from many mods or admins in regards to games. Lots of them lack class. Anyone with enough free time to volunteer as a QL forum mod probably needs any ego boost they can get!

TBH if he's a mod and really does all this shit that's pretty lame but that's what I've come to expect from many mods or admins in regards to games. Lots of them lack class.

you just described the usual esl admin tbh

Yeah, true enough personal threats on forum is bleh even if it is about incubus, kinda surprised the forum admin approved the forum. but with the crazy 95 percent wins being 8-0 you got to poke fun!!!

he has ~4000 games. hard to avoid someone like that in the minuscule NA CTF scene.

the hard way suits me fine:)

ctf4 used to have its own community in baseq3 and that transferred over to quakelive. Jones is a former NBS player (nuttin but space, explains his rail)

On that note incubus sucks, i raged him numerous times when i go slummin

OMFG DIRTY TIERSLUMM TROLLS

All of this seems like envy to me. Ray just lost to INCubus too many times.

Ridiculous and shouldn't even have passed the forum, but should a game allow a person who plays a team gametype to have over 90 percent of his wins 8-0? That does raise an eyebrow about the game and the skillmatch system. It just makes one curious how that's even possible.

It's possible about the same way that rich people make money. For example, Trump makes bilions and any hater can say unfair or that he is doing it some horrible cheating way. Meanwhile, Trump is good at what he is doing and can make a lot of money as a result of his work. Kind of the same thing with INC, the guy is good and he knows how to play well. Why does he have to suck or even out every single team just to make random noobs feel good? If I was was as good as INCubus, I think I would be doing the same thing . . .
I just find this thing by Ray ridiculous. And there is no reason to pick on INCubus imo. The guy just plays and how he plays it's his business. I don't whine when I play vs INC. And I have no idea why others do.

he knows how to play well vs. people who dont even know what the fuck a railgun is. he isnt a good player, and VERY undeserving of those stats. Trump is good at what he does, and gets rewarded. INCubus is the equivalent of a thief who keeps being let off by crooked cops, and therefore makes a shitton of money.

Well, Kitten, whatever you say. You and Ray just have too much free time in front of the computer. Especially Ray, since he has all this time to look throught INC's matches and take screenshots of everything. My main point was that you guys need to care less. Buy a pro and play with those you know, or just join a different server if two of you hate him so much. It shouldn't be that hard to solve that problem.
I highly doubt that something will stop INCubus from doing what he is doing now, which kind of makes all of Ray's work pretty useless.

i dont even play QL anymore. i just despise what iD is doing with it, and this is a MAJOR problem. everyone knows its not just INCubus, but he is the most well known (aside from maybe q_adrian). there are things to do to stop tier slumming, and ways to avoid it, but sync avoids them intentionally so his good friends can destroy his game.

If you despise what id is doing, then what's the problem with destroying the game?

i dont despise QL, or any quake game, i despise what iD is doing (essentially destroying the game, or at least,destroying what "Quake" is left in the name). Big difference. I actually quite like QL, when I can get a good game, and I dont get pb kicked for no reason, or my graphics dont bug out, or I dont have 100+ ping etc. etc.

you just said "i dont even play QL anymore"

FYI id = ql

i dont play cuz im not at home

id is a company, QL is a game. therefore id =/= ql

I'm pretty sure he knows the difference between a company and a game, he's been a secret shopper

QL cannot be modded, and will always go through id. By supporting QL, you are supporting all the decisions that id makes.

no, not at all. i can like california but not arnold schwarzenegger (or however its spelled). i can like a game but not the developers. they control it, but they arent it.

You just got done saying that you don't play the game. You don't play it, because you hate what it's becoming. You hate what it's becoming because id controls every aspect, and they have no idea what they are doing.

Supporting it supports them, and their decisions. Much like the US political system, the only way to win is to not play.

i said im not playing atm. i dont play = im not playing. i "do play" QL. It can be fun at times. I would like QL to become what everyone wants it to, but I know its not going to happen because iD is fucking retarded. So I play the game, but I dont support the makers. I also dont "support" the game by paying money, because it would be a waste of however much it costs.

the US political system has nothing to do with this, or me, and i dont really care how fucked up that government is or w/e.

i dont even play QL anymore.

(c) you

clearly it was a little mistake. big whoop? youre wrong, so you pick out one little mistake i made and keep attacking it? me playing QL has absolutely NOTHING to do with how i feel about iD.

You don't have a right to complain about id while you are sucking at their teat.

yes i do...

Nope. It's not bad enough for you to quit, but bad enough for you to try to say you do to justify your complaints. You even came here to complain about how much you hated the QL forums, and you're still participating. When you got made fun of for your whining, you tried to say OH, THAT WASN'T ME, I WAS JUST SAYING IT FOR A FRIEND.

Seriously. Either vote with your wallet, or shut up.

people complain about stuff i write all the time... i said i wrote something for a friend when i wrote something for a friend. i agreed with what he said, so it could have been me saying it, but it wasnt. i was agreeing.

i dont hate QL, i hate the people who make it. i dont hate the forums, i hate the people who moderate them. theres MASSIVE differences.

Except the participation and support of one directly helps the other. As far as id knows, you're happy with their decisions.

as far as they know, i love what theyre doing. that doesnt make it true. im one person, they could care less if i quit, and quitting wouldnt solve anything. so i try to squeeze in as much fun as i can while complaining all the time :)

Good, so you agree that you're supporting id.

no, i admit that i play QL....

you are playing this way too defensive.

vedic isn't a person you can have a normal discussion and he won't change his opinion, nor will he stop replying. So either see this as a game, go aggressive and wait for him to slip up or contradict himself (he will then insult you or call you a troll).
Or simply don't argue with him, not like many here respect his opinion, anyway ;)

not like many here respect mine either :(

:D

well, most don't like your "CA-quakelive.com/forum attitude"
I don't care about that, and I would even support this thread,
but I just can't stand behind your anti-id sentiments because you can't afford a premium slot

it has nothing to do with money... it would be the very last thing i would do with any spare $$

whats a CA-quakelive.com/forum attitude?

You play id's game.

i live in a country run by a retard. doesnt mean i support said retard.

It does if you voted for him.

no shit. i dont vote.

That's the spirit! Now you just need to apply that to the current situation.

i dont vote for iD. youre a fucking idiot, dude. its completely possible to have SOME affinity for a product while DESPISING the company that produces it. so just shut the fuck up. please.

You're voting with your wallet. Each page hit is ad revenue, and validation of their work/decisions.

then theres absolutely no way to win. if i hate the US government, being in the country (even against my will) screams that i love the country? fuck no. playing a game means i love the company? fuck no. just shut up man, youre getting annoying.

The only way to win is to not play - you seemed to miss that part.

i didnt miss it, its simply not true. i dont "win" the game of life by not playing, and going into apathy and dying. that would be losing. the only way to "win" the game of QL is to get something to happen. even if its futile, the only way to "lose" is to stop playing. if i dont agree with what iD is doing, i try to change their stubborn fucking minds. then i win, and so does everyone else.

You're not doing anything by playing the game. You're only validating their decisions. Whining on ESR doesn't do anything.

In order for id to come to terms with their failure, they need to know that they are doing it wrong.

and clearly they dont learn by people not cooperating/supporting them, because thousands have left QL already. but they werent subscribers, so they werent important. iD gets money from ignorant people, and theyre happy. someone needs to put some sense in their heads, and the only way to do that is by fighting them and hopefully winning. leaving, or not supporting them, is forfeit and it is loss.

They abandoned community interaction just before QL closed beta. There is no communication anymore, aside from your page views.

Do you really think that you're getting a message across? How long have you been complaining, and how much has changed? How much as gotten worse? You have absolutely NO power, as you've given it to them.

internet die-fied. newayz, even if theyre incapable of changing their attitude, the wrong thing for me to do is stop trying to get them on the right track. shoving shit down their throat until they can eat it normally is how its done.

You're not trying to get them on the right track - you're not doing anything but helping the problem. What exactly is it that you think that you're doing? What do you have to show for it? Can you name one thing?

that doesnt matter. i give suggestions, and i try my best to fortify good suggestions and bring down bad ones. whether or not it actually accomplishes anything is secondary. this isnt even part of our argument. im right, youre wrong, give the fuck up

It does matter. You're doing the opposite of what would help your position.

You have no right to complain, since you have every ability to take your business elsewhere. It's obviously not as bad as you make it out to be, or you would have already done so. You're just a whiner.

everyone has every right to complain if they dislike something. making ideas, helping ideas, trying to change something is exactly the right thing for someone like me to do. if i left the game, nothing would change. if i stay, theres a greater chance that something would change. the only way for leaving to make a difference would be if everyone did. and not many people will, because they just spent money on the game, and theres nothing else to do.

You're helping to cause the problem, so you have no right to complain.

explain to me how im helping cause the problem?

You're helping id make bad decisions.

by only supporting good decisions, and putting down/attacking bad ones? explain that one, genius.

You have no control to - you can only support through participation in playing. Your interaction is either supporting everything, or supporting nothing. Whatever you THINK that you are doing, you're really just lying to yourself.

you have no control. whatever you think youre accomplishing with this argument, youre just lying to yourself.

Shutting down your arguments seems to be working.

i dont feel/see it working/...

I wouldn't expect that you would.

It's funny how he explained his point to you, you reached a dead end since his arguments came together coherently, followed by you reiterating your original idea.....again and again. It's actually funny since he didn't catch up on it and explained the same (pertinent) standpoint every time =)

Hey, welcome to 3 months ago. It's too bad you didn't make this comment when it happened, so you could look back at it NOW, and see how retarded you are.

It doesn't matter it was 3 months ago. Your stupidity is timeless.

I might have cared to troll you back 3 months ago, but old posts only call for wasting your time.

The country analogy is flawed - you can easily stop playing a game, but you can't easily stop living in your country.

yeah but its not meant to be perfect; thats what an analogy is for: to get a point across. he got his point across, and cant seem to comprehend that hes a fucking retard -_-

It's flawed because this is the aspect you were discussing - whether participation implicates support. You can opt out of participation in a game easily - not so in the case of your country.

i know that, but the point was unrelated to countries or w/e. i cant leave my country but i can leave the game, and yet i dont want to do either.

As good as? I like how you set the bar low. It gives more realistic expectations. Anyway, still think he is playing against the right players. He is really that bad.

Just troll his profile matches and see the games and the people he plays with and its pretty easy. It's right like a boxing trainer he picks the right games to play to get his stats.

But id needs to come up with a system that will allow people to change their name and to tighten up the aliasing. And no game should actually allow a person to win over 90 percent of his game by 8-0--it just makes the game look bad, something is just weird looking through someone's match history and seeing all of them 8-0's its funky.

Of course you can see all the uneven teams and the nobodies, so yeah its more like quakelives fault for not promoting his skill level.

the point of this thread was to show that he is abusing the skill ranking/tiers. he knows how it works, and knows how to avoid it. he doesnt play against "anybodies" because "anybody" could kick his ass. so he pwns "nobodies" for a morale boost because hes so fucking terrible at the game.

everybody would agree that an alias-blocking system would be amazing, but nothing is happening because sync is a good friend with a few tier slummers (who are all forum mods), so he stops it from happening. he makes his close friends happy at the cost of thousands of other players.

Pwns "nobodies"?

Oh please. So he just statwhores and noobs keep on joining his matches all day long for the last 2 years, every single day? And they all know that they'll get statwhored and just join to keep INCubus' stats nice? Meanwhile INCubus is so terrible at the game, as you said it.
Well, let me tell, those are some pretty awesome noobs, I would like some of them too.
Geez, Kitten, maybe INC isn't that horrible at the game if he joins and wins pretty much every match and people are still willing to play with him . . .

If you and Ray want to complain about something, then complain about skill matching but why pick on a decent player? Both of you have been banned from Quake Live a number of times, and I can see that you are pretty bitter about it. But really, you guys shouldn't been whining about Quake in the first place.

Another thing, Kitten, just take my advice, disconnect yourself from INCubus, it will only hurt you.

Right... so, INCubus?

and noobs keep on joining his matches all day long for the last 2 years

you had me until that point

same here.

Trump does it for the money. You do it for?

I HATE THE CROSSHAIRS IN QL!!!

Description:
I am here on ESR to tell people the truth about .403, the club that plays together and protects an individual called Incubus who has racked up the title of biggest tierslummer in Quake Live History.

lmao

True enough the post should be about tierslumming and a better alias system rather than singling someone out by name on a forum.

Having a system where someone can use a cvar as an alias that wont be ranked and having the official name ranked, and the alias serve as an offline mode would be nice.

Pretty common sense though people generally want to win so they will generally pick a game they can win.

tier slummers generally drive noobs away. ive personally made at least a dozen new players quit, before they even played 10 games. that was with an alternate account (that has about 10 games played). INCubus has over 3500 games played, mostly against noobs. Imagine how many have quit because of him.

Sync knows (or should know, because its pretty fucking obvious) that INCubus is driving people away from the game, which loses iD/QL/whatever a lot of potential money. He is destroying his own game indirectly, and quickly, by not handling tier slummers.

well this thread is worthless but i am enjoying INCubus posting anonymously pretending its not him

LOL, well if you like to think so, I guess I can't change that. Thanks for the compliment :)

My point in the previous post was that there are still people willing to play vs him, since in those matches that I have been with him I haven't seen anyone vote kick him. Meanwhile, when jones would play FFA, after one match someone very often calls vote kick jones. Well maybe because INC isn't that kind of person that could be just vote kicked off the server, idk . . .

jones is trash anyways, i don't see what the big deal is.

Jones isn't trash, more like you are a fail troll.

Anon-a-troll fails to troll the one who isn't even trolling this time.

Nice.

Oh noes those poor newbs!! Really who cares about some loser who wastes his life beating down lower skilled players in a video game to make himself feel good?

You know who cares? Only a bigger loser like OP who wastes his life stalking people during games and taking screenshots of every possible thing.

But on a more serious note, I really don't know why Ray cares so much about INC. Ray is a pretty nice guy when INCubus is not mentioned. It kind of seems that something happened between them . . . I don't even know what to think about it all or how to explain it.

from what ive gathered, he thinks that all the mods arent worthy of mod-ship because theyre all retarded/assholes in some way. yakumo and INC are the least worthy in his opinion (and mine too, kinda), because yakumo is an ass-kisser and cost ray his chance at becoming a mod. INCubus is the biggest tier slummer in the game and is allowed to do it with no penalties. so Ray picks those 2 out and does his best to ruin whatever reputation they have and hopefully get rid of their mod status.

just my assumption.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

I find it pretty ridiculous that he wants to ruin reputation of two mods, just because of some disagreements that were between him and those mods. I know that Ray doesn't have good opinion about any of the mods, even about those who are more or less on his side. (or were at some point)
I don't think this rebelion will lead anywhere besides maybe couple more threads with a lot of troll replies.
Also imho, people who became mods totally deserve it and they are all pretty reasonable and unbiased. . . And Ray becoming a mod . . . well, Ray is pretty biased and I think it would be quite disastorous if he became a mod. Because it's like if he likes you then you can do whatever you like, but if he doesn't like you . . . well this thread that he started shows what he wants to do with those who he doesn't like.
At some point Ray even managed to start a fight with Ordus. And from the experience that I had with Ordus, when I needed help with some QL issues, Ordus is a very responsible person who does a great job in QL support. And after all these scenes in QL, Ray comes here and keeps on whining about INCubus . . . That's like 0 self-respect imo . . .


Damn, if Ray figures out who I am, then I'm going to be next on his hate list. Right after INCubus, if I'm not already there :(

WHO'S THAT ANONYMOUS?

IT'S INCUBUS

Nope, try again.

Pretty obvious, mate.

Pretty sure it's not btw. Different IP from a different ISP.

ray can be a pretty cool guy. and him disliking INCubus and yakumo isnt just some little disagreement. he thinks that they arent worthy of being mods. I agree, and think that most of the mods are a little biased (and a couple of them are really biased). A while ago I thought Ray would be a great mod, because I was on his good side. Then I said a couple tiny little things (jokes, really) and he went apeshit and hates me now (i assume, from what he said to me; could have just been a little misplaced venting. who knows). And if he was a forum mod i would get banned for nothing, even more than I do now.

INCubus is the least worthy of any respect or power. He abuses it like nobody ive seen in QL. He abuses his friendship with sync and can make as many aliases as he wants, and tier slum as much as he wants. How can you give someone with the worst attitude towards this game, power over other people? and special privileges? it makes no sense.

Yakumo is just a kiss ass and hates people who actually do work (me, ray, boxxy etc. etc.) on the forums. I dont like him cuz of personal stuff though. he has a couple good guides, which help a lot, but is pretty biased about everything he does.

you like triad. your opinion is irrelevant.

The thing is that Yakumo gives TONS of feedback to the developers. You guys have no idea really, I mean **boatloads**. He play tests every square cm of the game and gives in depth reports.

He must be solely responsible for like 20% of all user feedback. He was also on the forum constantly and made those guides as you know. Id should probably send him some cash for his services.

So when they were looking for moderators, Yakumo was a no-brainer.

he *can't* say that loud, it's obvious you and Yakumo are doing a nice job, but he would be exiled from ray land, that's obvious too

well, from all I can gather, id did good in not making ray a mod :D

hes prolly responsible for more feedback/whatnot than that because nobody in iD cares what anyone else says (people who arent mods, pros, focus testers etc. etc.)

i know hes useful, and i dont think hes really that undeserving (prolly the most deserving out of the lot), i just dont like him ;D

Trust me, we have no more influence on them than anyone else.

Sorry m8, but I just can't believe that at all (even if I usually respect your opinion)
Most of the ppl I know, and most of the responses I read on different forums / chat on the Internet (like about 70-80 percent), says that QL is going in a wrong direction in many aspects., and as an online game: its not growing from Q3 but shrinking.
There must be a endless source of positive feedback, because they just keep going for years after years ignoring all what we say or ask for.

ps.: and pls don't get me wrong , I'm not talking about the whiners

exactly this. if iD cared about the game, or the community (rather than a select few of "lucky" individuals, like pros or mods or focus testers), they would sort through all the garbage to find the good suggestions, discuss them, make official statements/polls, and implement them if the demand was high enough.

The only problem with that is that, for every good suggestion, there are prolly 4 terrible ones. that doesnt rule out sorting through them and finding the good ones though... so that proves that iD is neglecting the community, and the suggestions forum might as well not exist.

No, this is not what is happening.

I know plenty of persons from all the groups you mentioned that have been very critical of ql's direction.

I don't believe there is some stream of positive feedback anywhere, as positive feedback in general is always more rare than negative/critical feedback.

im sure all those groups hate where QL is going just as much as the players, but they are the only people with any influence/power/force.

there are thousands of good suggestions in the suggestions forum, and thousands of terrible suggestions. as i said, if iD cared at all about this game and teh community, they would take the effort to sort through it all and make some attempt at getting in touch with the community and telling them the kind of suggestions they like to hear or whatever. but they dont, and instead neglect the suggestions forum, and go about ruining the game.

sync takes the time to post in completely useless threads, and answer questions on ESR(!!!), yet he cant make a decent response to a decent suggestion/request, no matter how much people beg for one. that kind of attitude, and the attitude towards tier slumming/whatnot, is whats killing QL.

the tier system doesn't work when the amount of active players in a given game type (outside of 1v1) can barely fill a server or two.

STOP WHINING IGNORANT FUCKS

gays are gay.

incubus wasnt at qcon playing with .403. for a reason.

was he scared that you would beat him up?

maybe but even drank as fuck we raped dat team

Let's hear about that reason.

Just make an account Incubus brah

Yeah taunting people about being scared to play, looking at the game browser you can always know incubus is on the team of the stack always or his famous 2 v 1 bit, incubus is just as scared to play as the people he accuses of being scared. I would take a shot in the dark, as well as incubus wearing a different tag every week, he probably assumed that 403 did not have a chance at winning so the reason being that simple. Like his public gameplay, he always has to be on the team that has the top players because he needs to make sure he can keep up his phony stats so he can talk shit. I'm waiting to watch incubus in some duel tournies now that he is in that *ip clan. Incubus joins a duel tourney and plays I will forever shut my mouth :D

first intelligent post by stunt.us ever prly

One thing is true though, you get into a disagreement with Incubus after Incubus opens his mouth and says something stupid, incubus will troll you and follow you around server to server to try to bait you, he's punk like that.

Oh lawdy, now talking in 3rd person.

For everyone saying that QL can't moderate the number of accounts you have -- Yes they can, gg.

I used to play here at work with 6 other developers. I got talking to a mod (about INCublasphemy, oddly enough) and I just straight up asked him if there was a way to check. He said yeah of course we can. He then proceeded to tell me that I had 7 accounts and listed their names (I don't have 7 for anyone raging right now).

Long story short -- they know. They just choose to do absolutely nothing about it. Everyone knows INC is a personal friend to some of the right people and that's just the way it's going to be. Kinda sad that it came to that but until he gets tired of his ego-fueled reign of tier-slumming carnage, everyone just has to deal. When they started charging people to play it actually got better in a way in that you can find a pub without him in it every once in a while.

Oh well, good luck guys.

If you post or I believe even log into the forums from each account (not at the same time obviously), of course it'd be easy for them to know. As far as I know, mods don't have access to anything regarding the actual game page. Unless the forum logs names/ips of people that logon to only the game.

guys i once played a game of freeze tag and i was much better than everyone and one guy called me a tier cheater and then i pummeled him and he said wtf and ragequit am i a bad person omg i don't want to be like incubus ffs help

Says your location is "incubus' hell", my question would therefore be: would you eat it ?

OMEGA ULTRA IMPORTANT THREAD BUMP

good on you

"Incubus if you're reading this, i promise you're going to pay for ruining my own and other people's lives on the game you obsess over with your stats. I hope one day, after i'm done with you, you realize what a fucking prick you are for stacking teams to ensure a "win". "

Hint: this guy is aged 30+

another hint

only thing incubus is going to gain from his stats is 150 pounds. i saw incubus in a game once going like 90-1 and then some guy joined in and killed incubus 10 times in a row causing him to ragequit. was funny as hell.

who mad?

It's quite odd though, when i'm tier slumming random newbs ask if im incubus, and A LOT of newbs too. So this fucker really does slum a whole lot.

Good work Sherlock to bad I don't give a shit.

What's really funny is when I tier slum, I spam a pb kick bind that's similar to what INCubus has and the poor newbs go: "Omg, a hacker"

if I ever tier slum I just use machine gun

God bless America!
It's funny what shit and extents people will go to just to feel like they are better than other people at something... Must be quite a sad life... :D

god blessed this

what good is a meter when it folds in the middle?

light sure looks excited about it :(

Maybe he hasn't tried its practical use, yet.

FYI he does more than just tierslum in QL ...

lol incubus is one of the biggest tools in quake live. the fact that he loses 150 games to tier 1 noobs is even funnier haha.

thanks to this and similar actions by copycats, the NA ctf scene is dead.

Good one Ray

NA ctf scene is dead?! I'm not surprised considering all those aspiring pros are getting owned on SILENT NIGHT which as we all know is a staple competitive map whereby skill tier matching is incredibly important.

Looks like an exciting christmas you had there m8

Hahaha, I was in that game. I didn't realize all those people had ties to id. The whole lot of them are trash.

I'm a pretty shitty player and even I can work over incubus and the rest of those clowns.

so according to you it is not ok to play on the same server with people you know?
Cause judging from your first screenshot I wouldn't say sync and his family are tier slumming, would you?


Or even worse: Play against your own kids who are worse than you.
I'm glad you brought our attention to that, bringing one's own children into the game should not be tolerated, atfer all this is quake and not a game that people play to have fun!!!!

mmm cheese

he needs to get a fucking life tbh. who gives a fuck about stats?

my division 8 title is all I need.

winning 100 - 2 is boring anyway. Sometimes when i duel rizzah i win like 93 - 3 and its boring as fuck.

I care about stats.

Wow. I didn't know people cared so much about trash players. Can we at least get some yuka drama back in here or something? fnatic vs cooller and avek again perhaps?

i remember leading up to summer 2009 how incubus and his friend lollercopter used to team up against others on space ctf and call noobs names. One very annoying thing both of them do is at start of game, they'll continuously press the ready button till everyone presses it. They used to trashtalk a lot but incubus stopped once he became a mod. The old school players know incubus for what he really is, a loser with no life whose only claim to fame is his padded stats. I personally put him right up there with gragor and q_adrian, 2 other losers who care more about stats than good gameplay. Incubus is pretty bad though 1v1. He's ok with rockets and he's a great camper, but vs lg he's garbage.

yeah,tell us how it is !

The fact that Id is continuing to support incubus' tierslumming shows just how corrupt the development team is. Lol and then they try to fix the skillmatching system without actualy taking care of the real issue; tierslummers.

somewhere in clearwater, fl, incubus is crying a bit right now
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...#post97435

he'll have to play guys at his actual tier for once, which he usually avoids cuz it's not a 100% guarantee for a win

2 weeks later and still the same story. That is ofcourse because the skillcap was reversed by Id in CTF. And so the slummers rejoice once again...

In this game, Incubus is pitted with Xfer and Indian_ both competitive players in their own right. The opposing team, 4 noobs... Is it really so hard to implement a system that keeps higher tiered players from stacking teams? Or is it just that you're unwilling to cater to the noobs. We know the answer already.
http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/matches/in...f796/ctf/1

A noob with an 80-190 record should not have a skillrating putting him in tier 3. Tier 2 at best.

Case in point: Umbilicalchain
http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/summary/UmbilicalChain

This dude went 0-24 in that game i linked to above.

He's been playing for almost 2 freaking years!!! (check his join date) and he still can't win a teamgame more than 1 in 3 games on average. And he's playing against someone who beat down KGB yesterday. That shouldn't happen, no matter how many people are left playing CTF on US QL servers.

The way people move up and down tiers is fatally flawed. Way too much emphasis is put on points and not enough on actual accuracy/kill/death percentages where the true test of one's skill is gauged.

But hey, don't listen to reason, keep listening to guys like Incubus and watch the game fold right before your eyes. Mark my words, its' no longer a theory, it's already dead and buried for North American players. You waited too long and catered solely to the pros (with your stupid secret focus group) instead of listening to the playerbase that would keep your game alive, the dreaded noobs that you despise. Don't make the same mistake with european players, cuz thats' all that's left now.

while you have valid points, why do you care so much? you dont even play QL anymore. why hold such a massive grudge against incubus? all he is is a tier slummer. there are hundreds of others like him. did he fuck your girlfriend or something?

Kitten, it's principle and it's personal. I just want to see justice done. Syncerror created a monster in him. Both are responsible for the mess we see in U.S CTF now. There is a reason everyone on U.S servers flocked to CA. Incubus, lollercopter and av8r tormented that playerbase since early july 2008 already. Check all 3 of their join dates. All 3 got special invites from Syncerror and all 3 were given special priveleges and all 3 went on to abuse the system (av8r focused on n1gger binds). And just look at the result. Europe doesn't have these problems and we can't blame the playerbase for it because it was packed after ql went out of closed beta. Clan EQ's mission was destroying noobs. Maybe these names sound familiar:

All of these guys are at the top of the CTF ladder (if there was one) and all of them were found in those lower skilled games for that first half year. The only one who continues abusing the system was Incubus aka inc_ aka incubeast aka power aka ted_, etc etc. Jones, blatrix, Andycreep got balls and started playing solely in pickups and high tier games in late 2010.

Then there was clan LQ. Again another clan comprised mostly of people once again invited by Syncerror in july 2008. Avenged was/is the 2nd worst stacker in quakelive history ,

If you were playing in 2009 on US servers you'll remember those days. It was hell on earth for anyone who hadn't picked up q3 and the devs, EQ reguarly played with .403 during those days(especially av8r and incubus)(you can see incubus playing with his .403 tag in the videolink above). And Syncerror DID NOTHING. Now they're (the devs) trying to fix the problem they were a part of. They gave these guys the right to have more than 2 accounts and enabled the stacking/tierslumming by not cracking down on it.

...and really that's just a small portion of the abuse that went on during those days. There are so many other people involved, from gamescasters to leagues, etc. a soap opera would look mute in comparison. But its' starting to crumble and you'll start hearing more stories like this and what really goes on behind the scenes.

YOU got played by the people you call friends sync. In the end, when this game fails, they'll just move on to another game and think nothing of it, or return back to q3, while you're left scratching your head wondering what happened.

i dont play or like ctf so this isnt a big deal for me, but it is reasonable, just not a good enough excuse to waste your life trying to "ensure justice is dealt" while knowing full well youre achieving nothing, and nothing will come of it.

one thing i want to make clear, though: anyone can have as many accounts as they want. only people who make alternate accounts to escape a ban have their alts banned. i have no doubt that youve made alts, and so have i, and so have thousands of other players. i have about 10 accounts. i know people with 30+. none of them every got banned, except me, and i was banned/unbanned with no explanation.

Im glad I wasn't mentioned. prolly cuz I never played pub ctf!! PUB CA ftw.

lol

#care

10 years ago, there was no such thing as skill tiers. everyone would have to play against everyone, and only during the course of the game will people notice if they're good or not.

people are spoiled by tiering systems. and even tho they are a good thing. there will always be the occasional tier slummer.

idd, but the tierslummers are abusing the system, whereas they wouldn't have had a chance 10 years ago either - incubus and whoever are spoiled too

i whined enough myself in that respect - whats the use for either of me or a random midskiller who can beat me 20-0 in duel?

tier 1, the real beginners, are already separated
now it's the question: what system will deliver the best experience for the rest of the pub players (i don't play pub ctf/ca/tdm anyway, but it's kind of an important question)

indeed, you really have whined

I totally agree with that. Most of the people that were invited during closed beta were those that already had 10+ years of experience in quake. And they got that experience while playing without any still matched system. Also I'm quite sure they weren't just sitting on the forum whining and gossiping about better players. They went and practiced.

u mad roxolana? you dating incubus now?

lololololol

darken left her for me, so she cried, and inc was there for her.

Dont worry, I'm not dating INCubus. And, no, my darken didnt leave me. Kitten is just trolling.

no he isnt. hes totally serious. darken left roxolana for kittenignition, and she was sad, so she went crawling to incubus because she needed the attention.

oh really? then why are you in a clan with incubus, roxolana?

http://img695.imageshack.us/i/roxytheliar.jpg/

The first match you linked that I played in (bullet #2) was a Tier 4 Premium CTF server, I was the first player in the server to join. I regularly jump into Skill Matched (Tier 4) Premium CTF servers on Stonekeep and just wait for people to join in, to give them an opportunity to earn my Premium Award.

The last screenshot was the first server online hosting that week's DevPick (the Drop Damaged Health DevPick). I'm sure both myself and Gillz have demos if you're interested. :) DevPicks aren't skill restricted, and again I was one of the first to join the server... since what we were doing was testing our newly launched DevPicks.

You are a well mannered gentleman.

your skillmatching system needs major overhaul. how can you explain ssurfer's tier?

tierslumming isn't really the issue in quakelive, it's the ability to create tons of new accounts that really messes stuff up.

As stated before the ESR admins need to filter out postings, posts naming specific individuals despite some truth in stack joiners shouldn't be allowed, and advent-type bs posts talking crazy about Japan and nuclear issue and some how idiotic idea to piss people off--those posts need to be filtered out. People want to win and despite the fact incubus will always join the team the winners are, he is not the only one.

No.

Go to their account pages and click on "ignore" (right next to "buddy").

lol and incubus just accidentally happened to be in your game, despite the fact that you've only played 7 games in the past 4 weeks (on that account, i'm sure you have many alias'). And i'm sure it's also coincidence that he was on your team. but i'm sure it was an accident i'm sure.... lol.... face it, you knew damm well teams weren't balanced when you started that game, Those guys with 11% accuracy didn't have 80%+ accuracy in warmup and watching them walk, not strafe around the map, should have been clue enough.

and this is the result of those unrestricted devpick ffa servers:

And that's because when I first started playing all I played was FFA and was a total noob who couldnt even strafe. That's why there are only 5% wins for my FFA games. But now I'm FFA tier 4, which is more or less skill matched for me. So I dont have a problem with it now.

yeah this makes sense, because if your tier was judged by your overall stats then you would be stuck in the same tier forever, after enough games... would take hundreds of straight losses to go down, or hundreds of straight wins to go up.

wow, that ssurfer guy's tier is wacky. tier 2 with 88% wins? and that dbcooper with only 300 wins with over 4000 played and he's in tier 3? incredible. i don't understand why they can't fix the tiers better. it can't be rocket science.

You realize that it shows your IP address when you post anonymous? Your attempt to show an outcry at ssurfers tier just makes you look silly.

i wasn't trying to hide the fact... i want people to look at Ssurfer's stats. The 20 game supposed skill level system is only true for new members (it doesn't apply to older accounts prior to the update), something id tends to leave out of their update changelogs, if you can even call them changelogs... (with how vague they are and with the # of ommissions are excluded). That is the reason why SSurfer's skill is still wrong and why their claim that skillmatching in ffa, etc is fixed is also wrong.

Anon on a roll

omg tier this tier that who cares :D

incubus is a pussy. I smash him in all modes if i can see him. But usually he ends up in tier 2 games where i can't even join, even if his fucking profile says hes tier 4 for everything. This is wtfhax.

i was able to join a your skill higher server through buddylist
thought it was locked?

They got rid of that after many people complained about there not being nearly as many servers to play on. You can join them through regular server browser now.

someone is mad

if you only knew how good this game could have been had you, incubus and co. not scared off so many new players at a time when the game could have grown immensely. But in the end you'll just blame it on the noobs instead of taking personal responsibility for your actions and so long sync gets his next contract, he won't care and move on to rinse/repeat. Sad state of circumstances.

you, mr_green, tucker_ and incubus are just repeating what clan eq (lollercopter, av8r) did in 2009. Keep decimating the us ctf playerbase, you're destroying your own game.

they weren't reallly clan eQ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yep, mad

If good players only played people who were in their "tier" they would only play pickups/tourneys.... and well that means they would play about 2 games a month.

they can find games in tier 3, no need to dwell tier 2 games. or you trying to tell me they can't find any tier 3 games either? in reality, tier 4 consists of the largest group of players.

I will give you some slack though, the largest issue regarding ctf especially consist of:

1. new ql players start in tier 3 ctf
2. moving up and down tiers is based on wins/losses rather then skill.
3. games can start uneven (4 vs 2 for ex..) unlike ca (makes stacking easy to do)
4. tier 4 players can still play 2 down in ctf. (recently saw alac, blatrix, etc to name a few in tier 2 games)
5. ctf maps are fairly large causing isolation of noobs (no help from teammates)

there's so many other issues in ctf that we can mention, but until id fixes them more of the same will ensue.

...but back to you, you're no different (stacker), you just have a consience every once in a while. Incubus on the other hand does it every single game, without exception. That's the difference here. That's why incubus is on a seperate echelon with guys like gragor, q_adrian, avenged, and lollercopter. They have no conscience. And they don't care. You on the other hand, i've played with you and you will switch once in a while, but please, don't act as if you haven't stacked teams before (w/ savior when you guys were friends in focal point) because iv'e seen plenty of it.

Now if you want to continue debating this with me, try to do it with some real facts. There's a reason ql is where it is (see link), and the failed skillmatching system is one of those reasons.

Guys like incubus are enabled to slum because they can. Take that away from them and "they would only play about 2 games a month" as you said, albeit a drastic comparison but i get your point to a degree, but don't agree with it entirely because so many players are lumped in tier 4 ctf these days (just browse some profiles on ql of players you know used to belong in tier 3 (in the 5 tier system from last year) and you'll notice they are now in tier 3). Tier 4 games are actualy more commonplace than tier 3 games on us ctf servers (that used to be the opposite last year as you remember)

"and you'lll notice they're now in tier 3" - typo, meant tier 4

oh and here are some other similar voices regarding ctf on north american servers.
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...ers/page22

read sergeantrock and vaxwarp's comments. Both are from within the last 24 hours.

9 out of 10 NA ctf games end in 8-0 or 8-1. That has to change or more and more players will continue flocking to CA leaving no other chance for team based competitions (since NA tdm is dead). (Europeans are lucky to be mostly devoid of all these problems, although not entirely).

Nah, i really don't want to continue debating this. Why debate with some butthurt baddie who can't appreciate playing with good players once in a while?

If you get tierslummed on public servers you are nooby noob anyway. I would be embarrassed to complain about that :P

incubus has a habit of following people around. I never said i have a problem playing good players. There's a difference between playign someone like jones who will ensure teams are even (the new jones, old jones didn't care), and playing someone like avenged, yourself, weirdwolf, tucker_, etc, etc who just care about stats and stack teams.

No need to make up an argument, when the simple issue here pertains to new players being pitted against top players over and over again, especially ones named incubus who have no sportsmanship skills whatsoever when in reality, they should be allowed to build up their skills before taking on some of the most prolific names on quake live.

I understand the 20 game skillmatching system, but again it only pertains to new accounts, so older active players who have played 100's of games are continously stuck in tier 4 with no refuge other than starting a new account, which does nothing from stopping the same cycle from repeating itself, especially since they aren't even safe in tier 2... So they leave CTF as a gamemode all together, and then you have what we have today, a lack of ctf players, especially in north america, where tierslummers are more rampant then anywhere else; i could name one who created an account this past week (phuc_nguyen) to do just that; slum and nothing else...

Again, simple concept; id enables tierslummers by negating the obvious issues in ctf and/or taking 3 years to fix them... (it's been 2 so far, but not one fix for this gametype has been adressed, while tdm has at least had some weapons balancing fixes and what not.

"i could name one who created an account this past week (phuc_nguyen) to do just that; slum and nothing else... "
LOLOL, I know where that came from. :P I think I even know who's alias it is.

But back on topic.
"My frustration with him lies with the fact that he continues to abuse the system (and new players) ffinding loopholes to be able to play in tier 2 games) and that sync has enabled him to do so and that they refuse to adress ctf as a gametype,(see passages below)"
Read again my real TDM story. Just replace "In like a minute joins some other player about my skill or (how it is often happens) better." with "In like a minute joins INCubus."
And no, INC can't join and play in Tier 2, that's simply impossible.
And broken/dead CTF is the fault of new players, who have no clue what's going on, and skill rating system that sticks them in Tier 3. And yes, broken skill rating is just horrilbe and should be fixed. But blaming a good player for "abusing" it? Oh please . . .

But I'm serious. Those new players . . . they are just driving me nuts.
Here is another example from like maybe a couple of weeks ago, idk. InstaCTF. Skillrating is like around 85 and it's in Palo Alto (Cali). Some guy joins from KOREA, with 180 ping. And again, same story: doesn't know the map (where are flags located), can barely move around the map, can't aim (duh, 180 ping, I bet he is also playing with like 25 fps). So he joins the team and presses F3. And I'm like: "Omg, really?" And I see those wierdos all the time, not only in Insta.

i lolled hard. CTF really does need a permission slip to enter into doesn't it. ..

I had a convo earlier with someone today that really puts all of this into perspective, and something kitten has brought up before. You can easily attain a 100 sv skillrating in space ctf (ask gpig, seanage,etc) by playing that gamemode and railwhoring your way to victory a half dozen or so times (especially before the map was changed). That 100 sv skillrating is then applied to all other maps. But in reality some players can't play anywhere near a tier 4 level if their life depended on it, on non-space (non-space ctf) maps.

Take mellowtab for example, he's always a good example being that he's the poster boy for tier 3 ctf. Put him in space ctf and he'll manage to frag a couple people here and there; put him on courtyard conundrum and he'll end up going 0-27. Thats' part of the problem here, the skillrating system does not take into account one's personal skill level based on map type.

Oh and as far as why you are seeing more asian players; japanese servers are down right now. hf?

phuc_nguyen - LOLOL, I know where that came from. :P I think I even know who's alias it is

i'm guessing incubus himself since he hasn't played dating back to the 25th, but phuc's account was created on the 26th. Blizzard is a step ahead of id in regards to making people register their accounts via email/txt msg's. Again, you can see the length incubus goes to, in order to slum:, it's doing nothing but damage to the playerbase.

to name a few... he prob has 100+ accounts

I know that Ray will email me and flame me for this. But I really do think that it's not tierslummers who ruined the game.
For example, the reason that TDM is pretty much dead. (And even though I dont play CTF as much as I play CA, the reasons are similar) So, a tier 4 TDM game, (I can't never see tier 5 TDM for me, so can only join tier 4) I join and see: 1 noob vs 1 noob. So I join one of them. Then another noob connects. And when I say noob, mean those guys just started; they can't strafe, dont know the map, don't even have their weapons binded (scroll through them), and I'm not even talking about timing items, that's totally out of the question. 2v2. We start the game. My noobie falls into lava/void/acid/etc, runs around with gaunt and trips over all nades, meaning his and the other team's too. Other team does the same. I the only one who knows what is going on, so in about 5 minutes lets say I get 15-20 frags and 0 death. So me and my noobie lead. And of course about that time one of the noobs starts crying on the opposite team and quits. In like a minute joins some other player about my skill or (how it is often happens) better. Rapes my poor noobie and frags me a couple of times. I lose map control, since I'm not that great, and as a result in like 7-10? minutes he and his noobie leads. Then my noobie cries and disconnects. And so I'll lose if I'm by myself vs them two, or might win if someone decent joins my team in the last like 5 minutes.
And now who's fault is it? Mine, for playing in Tier 4 TDM when I'm tier 5? Or a guy's who's better then me and also can't find a skill matched TDM just like me and has to join tier down? Or is it the noobs' fault who got a QL account like from 1 day to 1 year ago, have play-time of like 5 hours total, and stick their nose where they are not supposed to be?
And in my humble opinion, I think it's just ridiculous to blame a higher tier player, just because they can't find any other game, and can equally win in their tier and in tier below.
I think it's mostly fault of those who just started and can't play and they join team games, completely ruining the teams and then disconnecting.
And now, Ray and INC, well, let's just say that Ray has different reasons for not liking INC, since according to Ray INC is the one who ruined Ray's QL experience. And I think that that should be discussed between Ray and INC, if INC is willing to listen (which is probably not) and if Ray will admit that (which he also wont do). But I just think it's ridiculous to blame players with 10+ years of experience in Quake just because they can't play in their own tier and end up tierslumming. (Oh, and I wont lie, once you get enough experience to tierslum in like at least tier 1 it does feel good XD )

not gonna flame you, it's a bad situation all around. I don't blame tier 4 players from playing down (if tier 3) because there are simply a lack of games these days (ql population has drastically decreased since last october as my alexa screenshot proves, but some responsibility has to be placed on abusers (incubus) whose addiction to stats has led to an exodus of players (in ctf and in general). My frustration with him lies with the fact that he continues to abuse the system (and new players) ffinding loopholes to be able to play in tier 2 games) and that sync has enabled him to do so and that they refuse to adress ctf as a gametype,(see passages below)

and yes incubus ruined my ql experience. He stalked me 5 months straight in almost every single game i played during that time. Others have attested to his tendency to bait people, which is exactly what he did. I was still new so i had no idea, believe it or not, that he was finding me through my friendslist (since he sent me a friend invite when i first joined ql in april 2009, yes he sent the invite). See thats' one of his tricks. When he finds a new player to ql he sends them invites so he can find them in games and own them... then later when i figured it out, i removed him outright making it much harder for him )especially once i started my own clan (PIP) of 100 people and had a legion of people helping me fight him in games), but it didn't take away the negative experience i had for those 5 months. Now just think about how many other people have had to put up with guys like him. This game (id) does almost nothing to curtail repeat offenders (it took months for tommeh to get banned, despite numerous posts on the forum, heck i even saw tommeh teamkill (on silent night in 2010 using nuke, with SPONGE in the game, and nothing was done!!!!!!! ).

yes i'm sure it feels good to tierslum... it doesn't make it right however... and it certainly isn't helping to revive ql's playerbase, it's doing the exact opposite, albeit in small enough numbers that the majority of us don't recognize (again, i point to my alexa screenshot, don't negate the obvious, ql is going downhill, the naysayers as diplodok likes to call us, are not inflating it. The trend is decreasing without a doubt, id can't hide that fact anymore, no matter how many population awards they hide from us.
http://img816.imageshack.us/i/qlfails.jpg/

btw: there's only 4 tiers (as id suggests) although we all know duel has like 8 levels now, and other teammodes have only 3 (have yet to find one tier 1 player on ql (in teamgames) (by checking their profile), so until someone finds one, i say there's only 3 tiers not 4).

oh and lastly; you said: " I think it's mostly fault of those who just started and can't play and they join team games, completely ruining the teams and then disconnecting.".....

.....you should know that all new players are grouped in tier 3 to start for 20 games now, so the reason you see them in your games is simple, id put them there. So ofcourse they're going to disconnect and rage because they just started and have no idea what they're doing. It's id's fault, but once again they won't admit their mistakes (like the recent shotgn nerf, which they reversed after the fact, did they even test it at all?, answer no, because noone in na plays tdm enough to give good advice). so no i dont' blame you, but you could haev just disc'd yourself especially after realizing you were in a tier 2 game... then again it comes back down to stats and people caring about them (and their disc %). Stats

New players should start in tier 2 and the ability to play down should be limited to one tier. That would stop guys like incubus period, IF, IF, the range for tier 3-4 didn't sway from 50-65 and 65-100 (which is ridiculously broad) as a mid tier 3 player will raise the sv_skillrating in a tier 2 game high enough making it possible for a tier 4 player to ultimately join once it reaches 65 (a vast majority of players have a skillrating over 50 because its' damm easy to do as it's (the sv_skillrating) based solely on wins/losses right now instead of skill) and all it takes is for a noob to play on the team of a tier 4 player and winning.

It takes on average about based on my tests) 15 straight losses to move back down a level (drop 40 sv points) but only 8 to move back up to as high as 100. (Once you reach a rating over 65 it's very difficult to ever drop back down below 50 unless done on purpose and over a long period of time (and as i've shown, people like ssurfer can still maintain a tier 4 rating in ctf despite his 30% overall win/loss. That's why the majority of players end up in tier 3, because it's too hard to maintain an sv rating to stay at tier 2.

Once again, id knows about these problems, and despite their excuses (the player base is too low) and attempts to hide those facts (hiding awards/leaderboards), it shouldn't stop them from at least attempting to adress the problems in ctf, especially when they could (at the very least) start by cloning some of the positives from ca (not allowing 4v2 situations). There's a reason ca is flourishing as a gametype and its' not simply because you can +back with rockets all over the map, but because games don't end up 8-0 85% of the time.

There have been so many good suggestions made from people like wobbo, imiol & rexcramer that adress these problems and how they can be fixed.... (now, not suggestions made by some players like v_maru_v , who are looking way too far in the future (since 20 tiers aren't possible right now for obvious reasons, if ever)),
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...ing-tiers-)

... but none of them have been tried in ctf, not one. Which is quite strange considering the fact that sync and co all love and play ctf primarily as a gametype.

I know the problems in this game, i've played over 10,000 ql games, but like kitten, i'm silenced so the oblivious masses can continue to post on the forums not knowing the reasons for their frustrations. (why they're getting owned, i call it job security for the moderators and the appearance of an active game). If everyone knew the truth on how things are, less people would stick around and frequent the forums (id's lifeline at the moment). Then again, all id has to do is fix these problems and more people will start playing again. But its' been 2 years and there will be a point in time when the majority of us just give up, especially those looking simply for a 2nd method of payment (paypal) and those here on esr who have been asking for GTV, Ladders etc etc.

ray, just stop. All this whining is doing the exact opposite of your goal and making you look petty/desperate.

nothing desperate about it, for all i care ql dies and goes to shit, oh wait...

I just get down to the nitty gritty, consider it whine, consider it what you will, but i'm thorough and i know what i'm seeing in this game.

i threw up the towel long ago, nothign has changed since. The same people are still abusing the system and the same developers are still turning a blind eye to it.

if you dont care, then stop posting this shit. if you dont like ql, ignore it. go play a different game. its none of your business anymore.

nou

everytime i give you credit for anything i regret it afterwards. You just follow popular opinion or so you think. Ask the avg noob outside esr what they think abuot the skillmatching system, you'll see it's vastly different than what the pros here think.

you give me credit? thats funny. ive only ever seen you be a dick ever since you went crazy last year or w/e.

i dont deny that the skillmatching sucks. i have experience with it. its horrible. thats not my point, though..

you say you dont care about QL. you say you hate QL (somewhat). you dont play QL. so why are you here, saying these things and doing these things, for a game you dont even like? its not like anyone who matters cares, so its not gonna change anything.

my advice for you: pack up and go home. leave quake live. go to a different game. you dont even like ql, so why stay?

Because id is failing quake.

p.s: i have no beef with you

but why do you CARE? you should be happy that id is killing quake because you seem to hate it so much

Don't put words in my mouth. i haven't said i hate quake, i said i hate who's running it and how they're running it, words you've said yourself almost verbatim. I'm a lifelong devotee to quake 1/2 but id's actions of late in ql have put a bad taste in my mouth and given me serious doubts they can continue the franchise into the next generation of gamers.

Also, if this was happening to your beloved clan arena, you'd be just as outraged. You have no idea how bad the ctf population in north american servers is. it's dreadful compared to last year. Again i point to the fact that no fixes have been made to this gametype...

...all because 1) everyone has either resigned themselves to the fact that they dont' believe id cares about ctf, 2) that id has put europe's needs above those in the u.s due to it's higher population of player or 3) taht they don't feel they can do anything.

Certainly if everyone resigned themselves to those facts, you wouldn't still continue to see outrage on the ql forums. My argument however, is two fold, but directly correlates to this cause/effect model; that people are leaving ctf as a gametype due to 1) tierslummers, 2)uneven teams, 3)lack of games, 4)lack of fixes towards the gametype, etc , 5)broken sv rating system and that 1) caused 4).

But one thing that id has slowly changed, is the rule that you can't have more than 2 accounts. That wasn't the case last year, when anyone having found to have more than 2 accounts was banned/warned. Now its' swept under the rug, especially when people starting finding out that, for example, guys like incubus were allowd to have unlimited amounts of accounts. This once again illustrates how he's protected.

Id knows he's slumming by their own admission and they know it's causing people to quit the game. There has to be a reason for that. I'm not a conspiracy theorist so i'll leave that theory to someone else, but it isn't a good business model for id. Unless, and this is part of my battle, they truly don't care about CTF anymore or the NA playerbase in general, and that is the question that will reveal itself soon enough, which would speak volumes about the future of this game and the direction its going. If they put all their money towards european tournaments for european players than why should NA care anymore about id or this game? They might as well pack up and move back to q3, oh wait... inb4 whally says, see i told you so.

If you can just think outside the box for a second, you'd realize that too. For example, if they put all their efforts towards duel, you know ql will continue to stay a niche game and never grow to the orginal size most hoped for (a revival of q3's early years). Seing the marketing trend of this game (no advertising), my money is on it staying small and relatively unchanged. Some people don't want to invest any more time and money into something that isn't going anywhere kitten and that information is vital for them to make that decision. Why train for teamgames that won't be featured as an e-sport when the focus is squarely on duel these days? etc etc

You have your battles, i've seen you post plenty of them here and on the ql. forums, this is mine. I don't see why it's any different. Soon it will have been a year since the last playoffs on bibsql.com and then maybe you'll understand why ctf is on its last leg unless something is done to revive this once robust gametype on north american servers. There were plenty of warning signs.

Again i point to the posts, that you will remember, made by people like imiol, rexcramer and wobbo who made the best arguments for/against the current state of CTF and the fixes to be applied to it. The subscription model didn't cause people to stop playing CTF, they stopped playing CTF because CA is more friendly and balanced. Those fixes can easily be applied to CTF if enough outcry to save the genre is created. If i end this thread, nothing will happen and noone will be held accountable. Who wins? you? me? anyone? no. the dominoes will just continue to fall in a new direction....

It can easily be said that 8 or 9 out of 10 ctf games end up in 8-0 or 8-1 games on NA servers. That is a broken gametype... An increase in the playerbase alone won't reverse that trend, People will still be able to start games with 5 players on one side and just 2 on another. You certainly don't expect people to even the teams, you know just as well as i do that that rarely happens.

Rome wasn't built in one day, but it certainly didn't take long for it to fall either.

youve said something pretty damn close to it. its true ive said the same things, and i stand by them, but youre just wasting your time. if you think that quake live is failing, and id is failing, and you dont even play quake live anymore (i dont know if you do or not, though), then you should just leave. play quake 1/2 or whatever. youre not getting anything done by doing this.

your attitude is another really annoying thing. i dont even play quake anymore because of a shitty computer. and i definitely dont play CA anymore, but you wouldnt know that because you went crazy and pretty much abandoned all your old friends.

im not gonna reply to your whole thing, so whatever. i guess i dont have any business here, so i give up on you. ill stay away from you from now on. go waste your time, it doesnt matter to me anymore.

but i have realized exactly whats going on with ql. i know everything thats wrong with it, and everything thats right. and i try to have fun with what i can, and i dont get pissed off at the people who break the rules, because we've all broken the rules (especially the two of us...). i know that simple rules, like swearing or aliasing arent as big as what inc/etc. are doing, but its just an example. you arent perfect, and im 100% sure youve slummed too. youve prolly made people quit the game as well. im pretty sure i have.

anyway, glhf, im done with you.

Tell this guy to stop caring too

tell you what, i challenge anyone here to ask the people on blue what they thought of this loldsn/foole stack last night:

or should i say incubus/lollercopter stack
http://img845.imageshack.us/i/funfunfunfunamiriteid.jpg/

i seriously doubt they were having "fun" but i'm sure games like that are helping overpopulate the ctf servers. They must be flooding over by now. Last night, there were 4 ctf games (in all regions). 4! verizon wasn't lying. and 3 of them were out of the u.s, (only virginia was habitated).

ahahah. That last picture is golden.

omg playing vs better people hurts my stats!

that's what incubus said!

Sorry for bumping an old thread. But I'd like to wish Ray luck with his crusade against INCubus. Hopefully Ray will achieve his goal. (And Ray, please, keep me neutral in this thing. The only thing that you can expect from me are off topic stories to entertain you. I'm done taking sides with you guys.).

no man, dont be sorry, its totally worth it

motherfucker

that bitch... i hoped this thread was finally fucking DEAD

aw :(

didnt read

I guess that the only thing worse then raging Raythenoob could be raging INCubus. Thanks a lot you two :(

no one cares about that shitty scrub incubus

Besides of course Ray, who stalks and takes screenshots of INC's pro tierslumming stats, and me who got stuck with Ray.

But, w/e Ray can go ahead and fight all he wants, I'm pretty tired of this crusade against INC, and tired of pleasing one and then the other. And then they both rage at me. I'd rather go please Darken, at least my efforts get appreciated there.

at least ray doesn't pretend to be a good player, he knows hes probably on balance the worst player ever since he has 9 yrs playtime on ql.

i don't know who darken is but i'm guessing he has below 20acc and plays freezetag or some shit

Yeah, sure. Go ahead and think what if you like.

Looks like he could give Ray a gg


:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I know it's kind of funny, cause INC isnt the only one who tierslums, Dark used to do it too. (Now I tierslum of Dark) But the crusade is against INC only . . . . So go figure.

Don't forget the diff between incubus and everyone else in NA is that incubus has special permission by syncerror to have as many accounts as he wants, etc. Thats' what sets him apart and that's what makes syncerror liable for incubus' actions. Actions that are forgivable to some, but when you look back, you'll understand he set the trend with lollercopter. A trend guys like herc, mythz, av8r, etc continue to follow to this day. It has helped eviscerate the na ctf playerbase.

See, what syncerror and co did, smartly so, is remove the ability for people to replay old demos (pre-live ql) , many demos of which i had showing incubus harassing players, using racist language, teamkilling (when he's losing and blamign it on his teammates) and ofcourse tierslumming, something he has really perfected as an art.

to kg: about 40-50%. Which is a lot considering how few are left. That's based on about 3 stackers, 1 or 2 tierslummers per game, and 1 cheater / 5 games (depending on server/time,etc) out of a 10-12 player server. Like i said, it's a terrible situation. And CA is getting to be just as bad (they have way more cheaters than ctf has). NA is really becoming strictly CA since FFA and duel are also starting to dwindle in players.

i haven't raged at you, but yes i have questioned your loyalties. Not hard to do considering incubus was someone you also raged against on pip like everyone else. He's not just my problem...

But yes, Give darken a big kiss for me.

to ceaser: i'm not the best or worst, i'm just an average tier 4 player but i do have some epic days. For me it all comes down to concentration. Sometimes when i'm feeling it (after 20 games=takes me a while to warm up O.O) i'm able to hit almost every rail making me quite dominant at times on vortex portal but i certainly can't do it every game like foole/loldsn/jones/imitated. I really don't know how they do it... oh wait....

I thought that the point of PIP was raging at INC, flaming everyone and everything, and posting nudes on our 18+ forum :(
damn, I miss that place.

Dont worry, I will kiss Darken for you. :P

this thread is filled with sadness and despair

meh

I have come to the conclusion that all of the NA playerbase cheats and tierslums.

I don't think I could possibly give any fewer fucks about this

Lots of people slum. Its stupid, its boring, and they're only fooling themselves and wasting their own time.

haha someone told me i was always mentioned on this website. I think rays a good guy. The main problem is people use the "its just a video game" mentality to act different then they would in real life. Even ID themselves it seems and this is their livelihood. its jokes...

but tier slumming def ruined the game.

quake has been completely dead for over 10 years. ql resurrected it and the beta was great for a year. then the subscription model, and the rude people pwning public servers drove 80% of them away from the game.

now even starting in May alt account bots have just been pwning quake adding insult to injury.

autobalance in matches would be nice, one reason valve games like css are the most popular fps games on the pc. and quake is forgotten and uknown.

alt accounts and allowing people to up tier and down tier at will make any skill matching a false advertisement and a facade.

and the selfish attitude of most of this community.

REAL LIFE professional sports programs that are shown on tv should have been ID's template. there is no diff, those who say so just want an excuse to act dishonorable towards other people safely anonymous behind their pc screens...... thats all it boils down to.


and to the guy who quoted me...... yes I play quake because its easier. The myth that quake is unpopular because of its learning curve is jokes. and propoganda for a self fulfilling prophecy. its basically a lie. Even cooller plays quake because he can make more money with less competition. he played profesionally CS but he just can't compete as well there.....

i suck at CSS and am amuch better at quake. check my stats i have more frags and wins. in CSS that would not be so..... take it how you want it buddy...

you suck at css and quake, you're the worst player ever. you know nothing about cooller's past, gtfo


"quake has been completely dead for over 10 years."

lol retard

no one gives a shit about tier slumming here, gb2 official forums and cry like a pussy

stop getting so blatantly trolled :|

hes not even a troll, although he will say so now

hes just a fayyyyyyyyg

use the ignore function, it's there for a reason

i dont like ignoring, ruins the point of esr :>

so stop turning the influx of quakelive forum members into self-proclaimed martyrs. if everyone ignored (and seldom made fun of) them they'd just go away. now you're making them think they're on a mission from god.

its just a video game

- QL's activity is pretty good during free events.

- When (and only when) a lot of players are connected, this simple solution is greatly improving things:

So the fix to the tiering problems (and many many other issues) seems obvious...

Cooler used to be on a pro CSS team. But he prefers quakelive.

explain that? because he can't make as much money on CSS, because the competition is too great..... quakelive is "easier" for him. He has more success with quakelive.

well when it comes to pub matches. I feel the same way lmao.

Look who's back to his old tricks

i'm sure you and celestial had fun pwning noobs on that tier 2 server. Let me ask you, does it burn at night knowing how much of a loser you are? Cuz thats' not really a win you know....

inb4 i get 70% rail on a tier 4 server all the time, with 44 rail kills too,... riggghhhhhhtttttt

That's a tier 2 server no doubt about it. So don't even try it.

btw: kind of funny how often i see you and celestial together. And even funnier that celestial is apparently canadian. Give lollercopter a kiss for me. Also, don't bother replying anonymously, cuz ... you're not.

Ray

I thought you might lol at this one

I know that I actually did irl when i saw this comeback by fudge

(mind you i think fudge is a retard but retards can have their moments I suppose)
