Firstly I'll say 12 player pub CTF is gash.

Courtyard C~ is gayed with it's med pack and backdoor enterance into base. Probably will get used to it and the med pack will probably make flag runners life better, so I can see why they did it... but removing the RA :(

New duel maps are cool. Shame it's premium

Annual payment is jewish. At least make the option to do 3-months or a month for a little charge more... If you have to

Netcode is still shit (no surprise there then)

The queing isn't as bad as I thought. I just browse forums or do something else and when it's ready it pops up (fu ads)

Focal point feels like warsow (da fuckj?!)

Those new duel maps have been a part of Q3 for a few years already.

Well derp but they're 'new' to QuakeLive (and funnily enough, they're all kinda edited in ways like the RA on phrantic, GA on aero etc)

Well ofc they're edited. id has to change something around so it looks like they actually did some amount of work atleast, amirite?

I'm particularly fond of the gayed pipes on phrantic next to the ya

Turbo agree. I got hard seeing those.

Not all of them

Freeze tag, thank god, something pubbable other than duel. Really enjoying myself.

damn, I want to play!!! :o

We are unable to accept payments from your country at this time, but expect to be able to within 24 hours.

Germany failed ?

same here, i guess they don't want me to pay hard and go pro

Same in NL.

:/

What the fuck is with the new spawn on ZTN? It's fucking shite.

Other than that, what ZeritoN said, there should be more options available in terms of payment, 1 month/3 months/6 months etc.

Great update, lots of new maps for different modes. Makes ql worth playing again!

UK Fail aswell :|

I expected Quake Live to have a smooth transition to the Premium/Pro system, so that even us (the non subscribers) can play FT and all the neat shit during the weekend. But NO, we have to pay upfront for stuff we don't know yet.

Even worse:
I would have loved to pay upfront 48 Euros (even tho, I think 3 month / 6 month payment would be better for alot of students/kiddies/whatnot). But I effing can't pay in my country yet.

They just should've make QL free to play on Pro-Servers for the weekend.

/e: WTF?

Abandoned sequentially numbered filenames for maps in favor of actual map names, ie 'qzdm6' is now simply 'campgrounds'

Does that mean, I can't just type /callvote qzdm6 anymore? O_o

New map callvoting is gay!

So I made a callvote cycle script =) CBA to remember all the new names...

set map01 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map02; set mapprev vstr map11; bind kp_pgup callvote map bloodrun; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1ZTN - Blood Run ^b*"
set map02 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map03; set mapprev vstr map01; bind kp_pgup callvote map furiousheights; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1T7 - Furious Heights ^b*"
set map03 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map04; set mapprev vstr map02; bind kp_pgup callvote map aerowalk; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1Aerowalk ^b*"
set map04 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map05; set mapprev vstr map03; bind kp_pgup callvote map dismemberment; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1HUB - Dismemberment ^b*"
set map05 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map06; set mapprev vstr map04; bind kp_pgup callvote map phrantic; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1Phrantic ^b*"
set map06 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map07; set mapprev vstr map05; bind kp_pgup callvote map overkill; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1Ra3map11 - Overkill ^b*"
set map07 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map08; set mapprev vstr map06; bind kp_pgup callvote map theatreofpain; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1Ra3map1 - Theatre of pain ^b*"
set map08 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map09; set mapprev vstr map07; bind kp_pgup callvote map realmofsteelrats; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1CPM4 - Realm of Steel Rats ^b*"
set map09 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map10; set mapprev vstr map08; bind kp_pgup callvote map Intervention; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1OSPDM6 - Intervention ^b*"
set map10 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map11; set mapprev vstr map09; bind kp_pgup callvote map deepinside; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1OSPDM5 - Deep Inside ^b*"
set map11 "vstr s2; set mapnext vstr map01; set mapprev vstr map10; bind kp_pgup callvote map leviathan; echo ^b* ^7Callvote: ^1Leviathan ^b*"
set mapnext "vstr map01"
set mapprev "vstr map10"

bind kp_home "vstr mapprev"
bind kp_uparrow "vstr mapnext"

You should experiment with alias, it's much better than vstr.

This is good enough. You can rewrite the script if you want :)

New phrantic >>>>>>>> old phrantic... so much fun.

We wouldn't know.

practice.

lol?
you take an already bad map, use an engine that doesnt allow a lot of jumps on the map, add a weapon that just doesnt fit at all, change the textures so it looks like crap... profit

how do i fix this bug with all banners and animated textures (jumpads etc.)? http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7695/shot0003ei.jpg
haven't changed shit in video settings, i always play with best quality + brightskins

new catalyst, amirite? :D

10.6 :<

yup


delete catalyst, install 9.x

that solved my problem

the new catalyst hates ql for some reason

use 10.7
or go back to 10.4

fucking ads, by the time they finish, the server's full.

Are you sure Quake is not connecting in the background while you're watching the ad? I think I heard some footsteps while I had to watch one of the ads.

i think is ad first then when it finishes connects to the server

Same, but that was online in practise mode. Don't know if it's the same online.

online is the same :\

Nope - starts connecting only after the ad is finished, for me.

ql is failing so when ad ends the authentication is already on 5th try. i guess it connects on the background

It does connect in the background

temporary unable to accept payment from your country

-.-'

6++ would be nice, I don't really see an just a gray square box when connecting, maybe adblock plus is at work?

callvote map gayasscampgrounds?

I have small sensitivity changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just played CA with 10 people and everyone had the feeling sens was faster.
At first I was like.. BS it's all in your head, but then I noticed my flick shots were totally crap. Moving crosshair always further then nme.

You have always been a sensitive boy guard

true, my father beated me much, then i was kid, i had wooden toys glued on ceiling...

New duel maps are nice. They're like old qw/q2 custom maps.

First impressions :

Join a server -> Stupid Ads
Try to browse ESR while there are ads -> Firefox crashes -_-
I want to callvote a map, i don't know the name so i use the manu callvote thing...

Great update :)

I cannot believe they removed Sarge's fucking cigar.

imo they should give all the players access to new maps for a few weeks if their maps are good and they want more money

then it would be more probable that players would not pay for it afterwards :)

)))))

Can't seem to be able to navigate the website:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 201326592 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 76 bytes) in /var/www/quakelive/libs/session.php on line 257

get that the whole time :(

i thought i was the only one from banana republic not able to pay for this shit. other than that .... its feels kind of same as before.

Hope that was money well wasted /laugh

I love it so far.

I wish for premium payed only 3 month in advance though.

A whole bunch of bugs I got are fixed now, very nice!

QL down atm?

When I log in I get an 404 not found... NnnoooooO!!!

Here's one bad thing, you can take any clan name and then it can't be registered again.

So if someone registers "mouz" its no longer available as a clan name tag. Time to start registering everyone elses clan name! (hint, this is has already started)

well duh, it's the same with nicknames.

Obviously ID can change things later if people are being an ass

Yeah i'm sure id can change it.

RLY?

...and people might want to think twice about being an ass on an account which they have paid an annual subscription for.

This is a good thing :)

thought about that too... i hope the people you are referring to can think that far ;)

- sense feels quicker haven't really checked it though
- graphics are brighter and smoother don't know why
- the new maps are <3 but battleforge is quite big and I would rather see phrantic at quakecon
- those adds in the beginning o_O

Man the maps are so bright it's not even funny now. Had to lower my gamma as a temp measure but I expect to edit my config soon since keel/green against a huge white map is no fun

Not sure why the forum tab isn't visible on the site after the update, instead it's under news..

Haven't seen even a single non-empty premium server yet... :(
It feels like Q3, so many stuff and no one to play with.

Update sounds pretty good actually, if I had a computer that could handle it I mightve bought it even though I wont have any time to play.

time to upgrade that commodore 64!

If someone who has actually an idea of the new duel maps could explain me whether we can see dismemberment and hektik on a pro level in the future? I mean I jumped a bit around and at least hektik seems to be a good map better than battleforged.

battelforged is easily the best ql map imho...
hektik is rather good aswell .

Battelforged is a great map. Should have been played more in Quake 3.

Thx, gonna look forward to both maps :=)

i'm pretty impressed.

becks will pay 25$ for that.

oh I see you are doing your daily work again, assumption-man.

@_@

do you have to re-register with this update?

Apparently, no. Both my accs worked until this "An internal error has occurred: Service communication error".

awesome

Does adblock work for the pre-game ads? It worked for the in-game banners and on the website.

While connecting to a server I just get a gray square box in the area of an ad, adblock plus is doing it's job I guess.

so disable it on quakelive.com and support id

cant play, cant register o_O

Not able to log in with old accounts, nor able to create a new one...
It says "service communication error" and takes me to another login screen.

An internal error has occurred: Service communication error

An internal error has occurred: Service communication error?

An internal error has occurred: Service communication error, An internal error has occurred: Service communication error. An internal error has occurred: Service communication error!

are you trying to recreate same error on esr? its doesnt take alot, you know :)

Same stuff here.

Are there 4 new duel maps not including hub? Completely new map pool?

i think i dont like this new duel maps. they seem like small, closed mazes with nothing but corner fucking.

new tdm maps thou feel really nice.

well this is the best update yet. so glad i can't be tempted to play this anymore because of An internal error has occurred: Service communication error

Do I get my £3.18 back for loss of service? :D

Black Cathedral looks good.

My first impressions of the release:

went to quakelive.com, saw japanese castles at the background and got everything ready to buy a premium account, so I tried to log in: "An internal error has occurred: Service communication error"

ye its not all ready yet :(

Not been able to play for hours now. Service communication error!!

callvote backtobeta

What do you guys think of Focal Point? Any potential as a competitve duel map?

Dunno but I hate the artistic style of it.

why the fuck are all clan arena servers now 12 player only?
Yes I know clan arena is for noobs bla bla bla

because clan arena is for noobs

and you know it =p

First impression of release:

- Really cheap; 22$ for a year membership, LOL and people were complaining of prices, rofl
I guess it could be useful for kids to have a 3-6 month plan, but seriously guys, 22$! If thats what it cost to have constant update and new maps, its defenetly a bargain.

- Finally new maps!

- I missed FT, had a lot of fun with it this week-end

- I'm in Canada, but all the premium servers had people in it. hell I only had to wait 5 min for someone to connect to my premium server. Seems like so far, most people I know and play with already bought premium account. Interested to have official feedback from ID, but from what I have seen, the response from the community is pretty good. Hopefully it will open ID's eyes that this game has great potential and they can start putting more energy into it.

I really dont know why people are complaining but personally i think it is a good step in the right direction for QL

Good job ID, but ffs, pls dont fuck us over; keep the updates comming!

Yeah, $22/yr to play with other people is a great investment. That's essentially what you're buying. Everything else was already part of Q3 years ago.

youre actully right..

same game, just costs money now.

omg, nothing works, bugs, ffs, what, solved, great.
