lol so ql wont die soon. who knew..

is that bald guy

BAWLS CHUGGINNNNNN

Quake is so dead that it's outliving all the other shooters.
Meanwhile in Tribes: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/12/hi-rez-halt...-never-co/

your quake sentence rocks. i read a comment of a tribes player once to that. he said tribes is balanced and patched near perfection.

Lol.

Then again, I never quite saw a class-based shooter being anywhere near balanced.

Yeah, and this rumored "Wolfenstein-Live" is not happening, who would of knew?

even im cringe on last part

i think the decision against wolf live is 2 years old. my opinion is, there is a place for a new wolf mp. but the problem, rtcw/et worked well with id tech 3 engine. someday a studio will do it. im sure of that. but splash damage went further away from their past, which is understandable. sd needed so much time for patches (quakewars, brink), its a drama.

as i said, willits was doing a summary for uninformed people.

Dirty Bomb looks cool, but I think it's just going to be another CoD, no strafe/ramp/etc... jumps. Just boring :(

it looks like brink in london
and brink... was not good

dirty bomb from splash, warface from crytek. im ready for release.

I'm suspecting both will be shit, I hope to be proven wrong! :<

sure, both will have cod elements. lets see if they got character of their own. i wish splash damage would skip the brink comic graphics.

>>> "He's meeting with a bunch of the pro players and asking them 'What new things do you like?' 'What are we doing right and what are we not doing right?'"

Lol. Haven't there been multiple threads about what the community wants on this site (which is read at least by syncerror)?

Load of corporate bullshit if you ask me.

Now that the former CEO is gone there's a chance things could change.

I hope somebody there still remembered the biggest issues, because those tend to be forgotten as we have absolutely 0 hopes of them getting fixed or features implemented.

Yeah, but it's one thing what random hitsus and ja ja ve ves want, and one thing what top players who don't often go to ESR/QL Forums want.

to be fair, willits is not involved in quakelive. in general its true what he says, the community (players/modders) always gave help and ideas. q4 mp patches are full with community ideas.

It's true that id has always been community and mod friendly.
But is it still true with QuakeLive?
I can perfectly understand if they cannot do certain things that the community wants: but then just say so.

QL is moddable in a new way, not changing the game itself, but everything around it
(qlranks, scripts, qlstats.info, streams etc)

they said no to LAN servers for everyone, which is one of the biggest things not to happen so far (who knows, might happen at some point, but I wouldn't keep waiting for that)

"Most of the feedback, direction and changes that we do for Quake Live comes from the community. We are always looking at the business side of it, and we are always looking at ways that we can grow it and expand it."

O RLY ?
Troll level : id

think about it from the beginning: they added all competitive mods + popular mods

competitive functions

most important 3rd party q3 maps for duel, tdm, ctf, ca 2v2

pql

race

start a match options

those are all THINGS that have been added due to requests in that long ass early QL thread, a lot of cvars are only in due to requests from around while adding stuff that's totally new as well

Took 5 years to catch up to what Quake 3 has already established. Sounds like they're listening... they're just slightly retarded and slow.

The thing that would impact QL in the most influential way would be on-site id-sponsored leagues with the possibility to qualify online for LANs, doesn't need to be valve style with millions to win.

But it would be nice.

Zoot said the other day on stream that Fatal1ty won't come back unless there's a season with a very serious prize pool to play for. This could be just it!

It's been proven how effective it is.

Look at dota, look at shootmania, put the one near LoL again and lengthened the lifetime of the other by a factor of 3-5

yeah. there's like 10.000$ price money every month on ESL for games I have never heard of... but people play it, that's why. you get the pros, you get the rest.
