They've always been doing that...

This is the first time I received this message.

Then you haven't been online 30 minutes before an update.

and they announced DH QL final iirc

Who apart from you, the .403. circlejerk and cityy is on IRC?
People need to be informed on the website, just like any other game does it.

nono on that announcement system on ql.com, I think you got the announcer bot blocked or something

I read IRC :C
Sorry brother.

you already predicted my my fail spelling :(((

Terrible troll.

iirc = if i recall/remember correctly

AND NOW YOU KNOW

Oh, so he really was that much off....

they cant control whatever content is shown on streams. lets say they link faceit stream now, and they decide to show porn. what id software do??? ban people behind it and write an angry note?

Yeah, that's also the one of the reasons why they don't want a chat/lobby on site.

According to the devs themselves, they are in a way "ashamed" of the community and cannot afford to moderate it.

The key part in community is communication.
I doubt people who just want to try the game out and get to know it a bit better are going to install 3rd party archaic chat clients with little to no activity.



SHIT NEEDS TO CHANGE.

But pre-teen games like LoL have all that and promote community interaction too.

frmo what ive heard lol is nothing but shit :D

i also wish there would be more community involvment from ids side. all the content here at esr, we could easily spark more activity into the game if it were able to reach a wider audience.

remember, syncerrors kids play(ed) ql, who i doubt he would want visiting this here.

its not that i agree with ql staffs current methods but i doint know what they could do to change.

maybe just add a disclaimer such as "id software is not responsible for the content of these online streams" in much the same way the whole gaming industry uses this clever little disclaimer (including quakelive):

http://cdn.quakelive.com/web/2012072401/image...2401.0.gif

okay. well, maybe they just dont think its good idea judging from what they've seen on qlforums. was never active there myself, but knowing ray, coolout, dutra and fudge migrated from there i doubt the rest are nothing but horrible.

simple. people with 10 or more posts made on QL forums are not allowed to use the chat

not sure i understand u :l

People that post on QL forums are just as insane as Coolout OR WORSE.

Those people (10 posts and more) shouldn't have chat/lobby privileges.

Which is gay because I have more than 10 :c

oh it was as dumb as i thought then :D

It's really good to know that issues that should have been hotfixed in the next days are getting fixed roughly 40 days later.

hardly an update without new maps

more like a massive bug-fix innit

lol, so wrong :)

btw I meant that if the patch didn't include maps (or mods. Content) then it is hardly an update. I shortened the post too much

As a premium subscriber I got exactly.....nothing. Well some maps were optimized but I had 125 fps anyway ("125 fps QL" though, very different from those 125 in q3 or warsow), and next patch is probably coming in december rofl

Yeah I guess bugs shouldn't be resolved and the only changes that should be done is adding new maps. Nobody cares about the duel queue. No subscriber will be happy about freecam blocking nor reduced map loadings. There shouldn't be any improvements ever again : we all only want maps.

ESR class: retard

I don't expect much from ur ESR class, but u managed to outclass ur classmates here... well done!

(It took them almost 3 months to fix the bugs from the last update that shouldn’t be there in the first place…)

Saying that :
1. An update without new maps isn't an update.
2. There was nothing in this patch.
is thoroughly wrong.

The time it took to fix the bug or the need to ship this bugfix in the first place are unrelated. For the record, I agree that the fix should have come as soon as it was completed and tested : id obviously lacks a policy for faster bugfix releases. But bugs happen in every projects; deal with it.

Yeah I guess bugs shouldn't be resolved and the only changes that should be done is adding new maps

did he say that?

Nobody cares about the duel queue.

did he say that?

or this?

or even this?

then what u r talking about? This is what is wrong with that post of urs

Thanks for reminding me I hadn't listened to this today.

Don't worry pal, no one will never know this fad existed in a week or two.
Mark my words :V

I happen to like the guy. :f

Though I do listen to silly shit.

... but i like hus ways and hus daaaanc'n! ... step away from the fad.

the different options for payment (1, 3, 6 month options) should have been there since prem came live, but better late than never I suppose.

...now you save 50% for 12 months, but the price is the same as before... :)))

you're saving 50% in comparison to buying 12 1 month subs.
