you think THAT'S messed up? quakelive is and always has been BROKEN. about a year ago my game was perfect. I was easily top 5-10 in NA duel and getting better every day, and suddenly, with no hardware, configuration, or network changes, I started getting the "warp." it manifests as HUGE discrepancies in what's happening during a game. I duck behind three walls on my screen, and I get hit with rails. I jump over rockets that are nowhere near me, and yet my screen adjusts my model INTO them and I get directed 24/7.
this is why I don't play. I have given up on this garbage game. I changed to totally new hardware, as well as monitor, keyboard, mouse, and operating system. configurations and different accounts, too (including the one here I was actually only using because I wasn't about to get frustrated by the fucking lag.) NOTHING has worked. I am easily one of the 3-4 best players in FFA in NA, and I can outaim KGB in lg fights. I'm about 50/50 with him in FFA games we've played. but now, suddenly, I somehow get pinned to the wall by _tier 2s_ who can't hit 15% LG, and my 45-50% LG just goes straight through.
it's unbelievable, and because of that, people don't believe me, but I have plenty of evidence and I'm sick of that shit. I'm done with the game. it's far too frustrating to play when you can't play well or even enjoy the physics and general gameplay. just look at this video:
tell me what the fuck this is. when I ping a server from command line, I get a stable 40-50 ping on average, say. there's no packet loss. yet _EVERY GAME_ I PLAY, stuff like this happens and I die for no reason. so yeah, anyone who doubts I have serious issues with the game and haven't been able to play at my level for the entire past year, just look at this video and the OP's video. done with this game.
The link for the video seems to be down, dunno if you still have it. http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=2088726#pid2088726
If I remember correctly it was on ztn, you were at GL shooting down at a guy just standing there by shards.

ye i've got plenty of examples where i shoot with the sg and the pellets explode in air :P happened a couple times during streamed matches. there's a whole lot of unexplained weird shit happening in ql
yea bugs like this are the worst because it can happen on lan. I've seen someone in a CA match block a rocket with a rail. Also there's a vid on youtube where strenx blocks a rocket with his mg.
Sorry a friend posted this up, I wasn't a member here but I've just joined up to respond.
I'm not entirely sure what happened. Neither of us were lagging and the server appeared to have no issues. I really have no idea what went wrong :? My connection is really clean, his one I'm not so sure about.
I thought I killed him when I heard the hit beep and saw the message pop up, but he still came flying up the stairs at full speed so I'm guessing I didn't even hit him.. Not sure exactly.
It did give me a frag though, that's one thing I know :)
Actually had something similar yesterday.. I came up jumppad @ dm6 and when i shot a rocket to midlevel when i was at the top of the jumppad the rocket hit something invisible halfway through.
It didnt say it was a kill but it exploded randomly in the air and i even got a hitbeep lol
The invisible person. Isn't that a common bug though? I've experienced this a few times when someone has been disconnected for flooding the server. If you knew where they spawned when they were kicked you can kill them while they are invisible.
Well, I've had that happen a few times. Not sure if it's always like that..
Yeah that's a little strange. I've only had it happen twice, both times on Toxicity when the enemy spawned at top yellow and was disconnected for flooding the server. Both times I was able to kill an invisible person but like you, I didn't get a frag message or anything haha.
I'm not sure if you are confused or if there were multiple bugs on DM6, but with the one I remember you have to gauntlet around plasma area (where plasma is currently), and it would kill someone standing at rail, or something. or maybe it didn't matter where they stood.. can't remember, but I'm pretty sure the video was one of the DC. guys like Mozilla or blokey or something fragging someone who was at rail by gauntleting PG area.
on t4, it was gauntleting the doors @ top I think.
also on dm6, with r_subdivsions 120, you could see the lower 25h @ YA by looking through the RL bridge floor... in QL you can do this on some maps with the new max of subdivisions 80; staring at the wall on dm18 (space chamber) that separates mega and rail...
ahaha thats awesome but so bad...i have wacky shit happen with rl from both getting shot and doing damage all the time, but i've never gotten a free kill like that
there are alot of bugs that i have seen,heard,faced .... :
-insta rail that doesnt make an instant kill
-a corpze with an lg in his hand and firing in the wall (but you cant get hit)
-i once fired at the wall in aerowalk (at left upper rl spawn) and i heard the hit-sound,i kept firing and there was a msg saying that i killed myself with a rocket.
-rockets/rail shots that pass throught the enemy
etc..
