Hi Dis

I forgot 1999 graphics =)

I thought people not using Russian pingfix.exe is the reason?

And last but certainly not least, quake probably failed because they haven't implemented the ice hook gun that can block way's))

You can do this things )

Also fucking lold at madbringers reply in this this thread http://www.esreality.com/post/2419503/manual-for-syncerror/

"fite mne v reale"

OP is right though. Quake lacks game modes that are fundamentally casual, which attract more players than fundamentally competitive game modes do.

Quake is fundamentally not casual.

No, its the community that isn't casual.
Quake can be played at any level and be fun.
Don't need strafing
don't need 50% lg
just running around for t1 noobs and shooting shit is fun.
It's the competitive nature of the hardcore players that makes the game not casual.

Basketball, soccer, football.... all pro sports but also very casual games.
Horse anyone?

Sci-fi shooters aren't popular in multiplayer anymore.
People like "realism"
All my friends play Bf or cod on xbox.
Some play halo... the exception....

Ql lacks an artistic direction.

cure
mcsarge's
trinity
etc
etc
Are these UT maps?

They don't look like quake to me.
They're good maps...they look really nice.... but they aren't quake maps... not the way they look.

Satanic.... :D

It's better to have one artistic direction than a bunch.
Ut is the exception to this... they all seem to blend seamlessly though.

I forgot here i was going with this....

I'm high

I'm not saying you're wrong but in some sense playing Quake Live starts at Tier 4 - where shitload of people will never belong.

Everyone should start in t2.

That's on the devs to change.

Still dont get why t1's are being mixed with anyone lol.

I liked memento_moris explaination in the tdm thread, basically that noobs play the game completely different and that the way they play it is not as enjoyable to them as cod or bf or whatever, but from our perspective where we see high level comp play its mindboggling why anyone would play cod over quake for example, even for casual play.

I agree with Cypher:

(43:20)

what he exactly said? i cant understand =)

"ZADROT EBANIY PUTIN TIMEOUT FUFUFU GG STALIN"

and stuff like that

LOL, he's just saying the game needs to be redone from scratch with modernized features and matchmaking etc. and cutting edge graphics. And then run tournaments and broadcasts like LOL.

But the gameplay is perfect and needs to be left alone.

It's a significant investment and undertaking that the current owners apparently aren't willing to make or are unable to.

yeah i know, just joking.

Quake is dead-threads in general

Example 6 and 7 would suck quadruple dick

bad english. But, solid ideas. I used to ask for this stuff when i started playing, it would have made a world of difference. Now that i haven't seen a T3 server in years, i dont need it anymore, but i understand why noobs leave immediately.

Also, i know it will never get implemented, so lol.

1. Not true. I've made a bunch of friends through duel. I usually add players with whom I had close back and forth games. Some of them became a regular duel partners and some friendships went beyond just the game.

2. "Quake difficult game. Need a lot of strain."

That's exactly why I love Quake.

"People do not like to strain and learn"

If Quake had some sort of visible progress system that would feel rewarding as you enter anoter tier or gain a level or whatever, players would be compelled to learn.

The answer to all the questions bellow is: id Software is retarded

3. Visible elo on the profile, server browser and scoreboard would be enough. No need for elo to float above players and similar bullshit.

Need to protect the beginner against stronger players. Frequent losses imply dissatisfaction and anger, which then turn into apathy ..

Not only beginner, each player must be locket in his ELO 1100-1300 group. But better 1100-1200


Like children in school classes...

Just go away already.

what's an elo

cmon dude...back in the ninties...there wasnt even a shuffle function or a function which put you on same skill servers....and nevertheless this game has done it to 2015....only thing is kids nowadays are nub.

this game is old..thats the only reason, we all played all from quake like 1000 times..thats why...but which game except cs survived this long? so stfu over 15 years activity for a game is godlike.

But back then, with static/dedicated [game] servers, people could skill match themselves. After playing a few times you'd have an idea of which servers newbs played at and which ones higher skilled people were at.

It's not about TDM.

10/10 post!!! ive been saying this since i started playing!
