lol ca

I doubt you need to apologize. Kicking someone for unsatisfactory performance is a bad reason to kick, except in organized competitive matches, which are usually private / locked from joining anyway. Just ignore him, as the likelihood that you'll meet up again is extremely slim. In the end, it's the other guy's fault, not yours.

it's CA man... no need to apologize

what u want to say "sorry for playing like a noob noobs"?

ive been kicked from random pub ffa for lagging :s

Lagging should be a crime!

warping is a definitive red flag to me.

warpers are either:

1. Stealing someones wireless
2. rudely using torrents while playing
3. CHEATERSSS USING PROXIES AND BOTS!!#@@!@


its that simple. cg_lagometer 1

I can play with 150 ping in germany spain, france....and its smooth as a whistle. no warpage or spikeage at all............ just legitimate lag. IMO germany has best infrastructure just based on my ql ping.

i warp because neighbors use my internet, does that make me a slummer

makes you a chump for not caving their faces in

get a router? make a password? mac address filtering....etc...

the fact u let them? ya thats pretty suspect man. Your SUSPECT.

and u know it doesn't make u a "slummer" cause you dam sure well know wtf a slummer is funny guy.

but I'd assume ur a cheater. dam straight. sorry bud. talk to your neighbors get a linksys router or something.

I can't believe u even had to balls to say this....

me?cheater?whaaaaaaat

your whole exuse that you warp cause your neighbors are stealing your internet is suspect. was that even a serious reply? lol

HELL YEA

embarrasing dude. do u need help to stop them?

i'm sorry but i have a hard time believing you. i was talking to mello your clan mate. todl him same thing lol.

You don't warp with ping 150?
I had often see ppl before the update connecting to Frankfurt with that kind of ping, i don't really see the advantage or challenge to conntect to ppl with ping 20-30 to bore the hell out of the game and anoying the ppl to play a nice game ...

no i don't!

The appropriate response, imo, is to go practice, come back and smash their stupid faces in ;)

that's the way rocky does it.

If someone kicks you into your balls, will you apologize too?

Yeah I hate the noobs who kick players who play bad asdfasd. Let them play how else they can get better - ____-

Don't apologize for anything you gave what you could. If you joined a green server then you followed the design precisely. For yourself I suggest you watch good players play and do what you can to improve your skills. On the other hand, you can simply not give a damn because there are wallers, togglers and people who deliberately derail shuffles to win CA matches. Choice is yours.

Never apologise unless you get kicked for being too good - because then its cool and rubbing their noses in it :D

It would be, if they were your team mates and you cared to keep playing with them, although in that case they probably would not have kicked you, but asked to let an other mate in.

For general public play, ignore them. It's normal to have a bad day, and if one plays public he has to expect team mates may not be top level. It was their problem, really.

Apologizing for playing a game get real...

t3 player on a t4 server . legit kick for me

what always disturbs me... is this cheater community will kick the noob.....but the never the dominating slum lord who is prolly already banned.

its jokes. to me it goes both ways. Competitive matches are just as bad with people tier jumping as they are slumming.

When it comes to pubs my philosophy is that we are all playing this game for fun and no-one has any right to tell you how you should or should not achieve that. You may feel obliged to be a good team mate (even though I'm sure they don't even know what they are talking about), but you don't owe those random guys anything so don't worry about it.

ITS A RANKED MATCH.....

are you another one of these "its just a pub" guys. That mentality is not only clueless but sickening....honestly. why would anyone pay for this game.

If you wanna just have fun join an UNRANKED server....

Pubs are more important then private matches in any game....Its the foundation of the communities integrity and future playerbase. Its where it begins and ends..

you make a fair point in that the ranked matches effect the quality of games overall in all ranked pubs, but I have a few issues here - although my evidence is partly anecdotal.

firstly I find that often if I want to get a populated server that is at my location of choice, it's already narrowing the servers down dramatically because there just aren't that many players.

secondly, the majority of claims that players are too bad or under performing is usually just trite from people looking for someone to blame.

and finally, the ranked matches are just to ensure that people are properly skill matched so that games are even. but i'm sure there are as many t4 people that fuck up t4 games as there are t3 players fucking up t4 games. there's always going to be bullshit, the system really needs more players to work correctly I think.

the problem is new accounts starting in t3.

either they are truly newb and bring their team down. Or they are a slum lord alt and imbalance the server just as much. They are easy to spot as well. So obvious and easy to post a new account. cause barely anyone plays the game.

i mean unless you believe qlranks.com hahahah. but usually u can recognize most names... and the ones u don't are no more then a couple months old with little games played.

ban alts with credit cards or cell phone numbers. ID thinks this will either.....kill the playerbase (LAFF) or that these wannabe hackers will keep getting cards and numbers.

both are lame copouts and are total BS.

Ranking in QL is measured over performance. You can be number 1 in your team with way more points than all of your teammates and still lose in order to get better skill rating.

I assume you don't care about ELO in CA. Nobody should care about that.

ya...elo in CA makes no sense at all.

unless its ranking clans.

which i don't see why this doesn't happen.

get a CA clan tourney going make quake more popular. wtf.

ITS A RANKED MATCH.....

are you another one of these "its just a pub" guys. That mentality is not only clueless but sickening....honestly. why would anyone pay for this game. At least you didn't start preaching that no game can be perfectly skill matched.

and of course not.....but at least we can take the ability to manipulate the matching themselves out of the players hands. WHich i will guarantee more competitive games then we have now....and a feeling of fairness.

If you wanna just have fun join an UNRANKED server....

Pubs are more important then private matches in any game....Its the foundation of the communities integrity and future playerbase. Its where it begins and ends..

ranked matches are serious business.

when compared to an unranked match...of course it is.

shit in real life fights break out on the ballcourt. this is a competitive game man.

and ranked matches are the most competitive. Those who wanna disrespect the game and honest players....by manipulating shuffles and slumming servers with fake accounts. should be banned.

IF U JUST WANNA HAVE FUN GO TO AN UNRANKED SERVER!!!

I see that you catch a lot of flak for telling how it is, CooloutAC. You are a little dramatic at times, but I completely understand your frustration. I fully agree with you about ranked matches being important. In fact, I think it should be obvious, but apparently many players turn a blind eye and screw others over. The truth is, whether you're pro level or noob, there is no reason for not spectating when somebody drops, off balancing an even match or manipulating the shuffle to gain an advantage. Saying that it's only a public server doesn't mean anything. Saying that you're a subscriber doesn't give you the right. Saying that the mode is meaningless and the result doesn't matter is simply not true. When people do this they are cheaters. It's that simple. By the way, watch out for the alias ASMODEL. He intentionally goes around off balancing matches to win. When asked why his reason is this: "I'm premium". Such entitlement for someone afraid to show who they really are.

leave asmodel alone!

After theese words im kind of dissapointed to see you have a 10% quitrate.

most players have 50% dude. wtf are u smoking.....

that means that dude is crazy legit compared to most players.......

Retribution the problem here is the only people that are left are certain types:

1. Fail programmers
2. Fail game developers
3. Fail web site designers
4. Fail wannabe hackers (stealing credit cards)
5. Naive ignorant gullible rednecks with no sportsmanship or sports experience
6. Naive ignorant gullible little wetbacks with no sportsmanship or sports experience.

I get flack cause most normal people in society stopped playing this game years ago, and the only people left are losers.

The beta was promising...but ID made it clear they didn't care to the point of sabatoging their own game and catering to the cheaters. I don't think they though even this measly wacked bunch would stick around. They even have cheaters running their forum.

A cheater to me is anyone who quits games....stacks teams.. and .fakes his skillmatching. who cares about bots if they are matched....but if they sink that low naive to think they don't bot from time to time as well....

noone needs demos. all we need is credit cards and cell phone numbers to weed out all the bad apples. WHICH IS 90 PERCENT OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY HAHAHHAA

You and your awesome quit rate.

Apologize for something you dumbfuck!

Ask Mitt Romney if he would apologize, lol

GW and palin said they'd never apologize for nothing lol.

it's quake live.
No need to feel surprised for stupid bans without reasons.....
the worst community EVER.

Ban all the quitting team stacking alt account slum lords and call it "harassment" /wink.

Ban all the strongest players on the servers, ban who caught you cheating/ team stacking/alt accounting/slumming, ban players because of the bad connection ban players with no specifical reasons /wink

some of the reasons you would ban for are asinine.

you fake troll.
