Probably someone had an account with your nickname before and renamed it before you registered yours?

yeah i am thinking the same :)

But how can i get back my France flag on it ? Do you know? thanks

Here

pm sirax/szr

does not work for me. I messaged all of them over the course of 6+ months, many times. stayed online to see if I ever get a reply. nothing.

not saying it cannot be done, but I've really tried and never had it changed :D

wanted my flag changed from Hong Kong to Australia (the reason why I had HK was purely for fun when I created the account)

so, yeah. maybe it would be good if QLRANKS checked if the flag was updated every month or something. or every 100 games.
but perhaps that would be too costly CPU load wise.

oh, and I'm also a donator to QLRanks!

Let me try to help you out




Is it enough France for you now?

hurts my eyes

Enough bro :D

ALLONS ENFANTS DE LA PARTRIEEEEE LE JOUR DE GLOIRE ESSSTTTTT ARRIVÉ !!!

I suppose you're 'murican? That, by extension, makes you euro trash as well

thats quite lenghty thinking for a monkey

I suppose you're human? That, by extension, makes you a primate as well

When did you become so hateful x(

yo thanks for all your answers !

BTW I also wanted to say i donated 13 euros For QLRANKS on old account but i never got my name into the donators , its like i spent this money for shit and nothing , i tryed to message them all and i never got answers .....

I really dont know what to think about it ..........

Never mind :)

FRANCE FRANCE FRANCE :)

I am 100% polish so yesh i = euro trash

france and canada basically the same, but canadians are nicer - i'd stick with the canada flag if i were you and people will automatically like you more.

I was trying to contact admins on irc I have the same problem. I would like to get different flag on my profile, What do you think if I delete my ql account and register again with same nick will the flag change on qlranks for the one I choose at registration?

Probably not, no. The names even keep the same rating after an account was deleted and recreated.

What could be the solution? I really would like to be displayed on my country's top 20 list at least if im not making it ever on the worldwide top.

The best solution would be to stop caring about the ranking.

yea, I certainly would if I could play without getting booted by a bot from every populated server (except mine and a few rare other), while non-paying creatures who can't even move properly(!) but have 500+ "eyo" are having fun on those very same servers.

gg

ranking != rating
I don't think anyone uses the ranking as a mean to discriminate between players.
As for the server which have a rating lower limit, I personally think that's fine. It keeps away those who are too bad and would be kicked anyway. It has the added benefit of blocking new alt accounts too.

Blocking new accounts is something I could support perhaps because faking breaks the system and new players shouldn't go near veterans...ever.., but allowing the kicking of players based on some third party utter bullshit (yes, it's even bad for a joke if it's not about duels or perhaps teams who would only play with the same lineups) is just ridiculously stupid imho.

Do you believe there is no relation between an individual's skill and the rating he is attributed?

What I was trying to say that the math of the ELO system just fails with public team based games, and while it's very good for duels indeed (or teams who retain their lineups) it shouldn't be allowed to be used for kicking players from all gametypes.

I help a lot of beginners and I generally swap to the losing teams because of the quitters (a group of people who ruin games since day one and should be the ones who gets punished imo) or I also need to go to spec because I give up my spot to others on my servers or because of said leavers from the other teams. As a "return", my win ratio (which is the main factor in the ELO system) is very low, so I can't play since many months because of third party system what puts people 500 or more ELO above me who were literally learning from me how to strafe last x-mas. It's rare when I have the time to play at the evenings when most of the servers are populated, so this new ELO trend denies me of playing Quake when I would like to.
Yes there are cases where there are no relations whatsoever, and when the use of such system is unjust.

People call it Elo but the team games on qlranks are using Microsoft research's TrueSkill system designed specifically for team games.

You can get more info on how it works by going through sirax's posts such as this one ,his other posts on that thread, and his other posts elsewhere on esr.

I swing around 1400-1500 "ELO" in CTF which I play since CTF exists (already lmao tbh), and (obviously) I have zero problem playing against 2K "TrueSkill" people any day, and more that that, there are several people who are also 2K-ish now who couldn't even move in last December (they barely do now). Well this was just an example because CTF is ok since there are no games at the mornings anyway.
But about the other team based game types: Trueskill or not, the bottom line is that my QL skill rating is "too high" so I can't join those populated lower skilled servers at the mornings, while my CA, TDM or whatever "ELO" is too low so I can't join those bot managed populated servers either... tell me it's not retarded:)

The ratings for separate game types are separate.

It's a TEAM game, so it doesn't matter if you think you're on the same level in a 1 on 1 fight within that game as someone with 500 higher trueskill rating.
Either, you just haven't played enough with good opponents to put your rating on the level you should be on, or what is happening is simply not representative of actual team play.

For example, a 1500 player on an otherwise 2k CA server can still spam and get high dmg and even high kills, as their team is doing a lot of the damage for them. However, if they're the last man against 3 no one expects their movement and awareness skills to be enough for them to survive and then take out all 3. Another 2k elo player should at least have a reasonable chance of doing so.

In CTF I'd imagine a 1500 player on a server full of 2k players would not be expected to do well as the main def, or be very successful as the main flag carrier either.
*BUT* I wouldn't be at all surprised if CTF was much more broken and meaningless a rating due to the nature of flag carrying.

For CA though this definitely why it's not just based on damage or kills as some people want it to be. Being in the right places at the right times is often what leads your team to victory no matter what your output may be.

This is also why despite 1600 being a very highly skilled duel player compared to a 1200 dueller it doesn't immediately equate to being a decent CA player as they'll initially play with a duel mindset instead of CA tactics. They'll often come on wanting to be let into high CA Elo games because they think they're the bees knees and may even have experienced destroying some of the players on the server in duel, they want to play on the highest CA servers to get their Elo up as quickly as possible, but the times I've seen such players given a chance on the server, their pretty much always the ones causing their team to lose, with the lowest dmg and or kills, just like any other player they need to put the time in to that specific gametype to earn their TrueSkill rating, when they have it, it is actually representative of their ability on a server of that rating.
If they are actually good enough to get to 2k elo or whatever high rating they want, then they will get there pretty quickly just through playing naturally, and the other 2k players will have reasonable confidence in their ability on their server.

Please Yakumo, I play Quake since day 1 and I also played CTF all the times. Are you seriously implying that I'm a "1500" CTF guy ?
I'm telling you the system doesn't work for pub games, it fails, and bots won't let me play because of that.

elo for pub team games doesn't work. It has been discussed all over.

WTF ( dogface) ,

You euros shouldn't care about country so much. That's how you started world war I and II and countless other wars like what happened to the great and glorious Yugoslavia.

Stop this jewish talk, MR Illuminati!
