for spectating only

Anyway it should be possible to enable item timers for us noobs right?

no

git gut

Stop whine just download hax already

itt:why new players have problems :DDDDD

Why doesn't it work? When I start a server I put a checkmark in "enable item timers" but nothing happens. No item timers when I start the game.

If you want the pie-chart item timers, change gametype settings-ruleset from "Classic" to "Default".

i dont have quake live installed, can you show me how these pie-chart item timers look like?

Concentrate on weapons and positioning, and play on small maps where you can see items spawning. It will be more fun and more educational this way.

Also, weren't there these new "item timers" in the "loadout" update? Can't you enable them in duel?

can't enable timers when you're actually playing duel, only when you're spectating (and many other game modes).

I meant these pie chart timers as ppl pointed out below.

go and play another game. quake is too manly for you.

Says the man I remember whining like a little girl on pub ffa servers :-)

manly grunts of joy

I am no beginner to Quake. Started back in 1998 with Quake 2. But I don't play much and the few friends I play against are just like me.

We don't really care about getting much better. We just want to have fun playing against each other. I can time items pretty well but my best friend is not very good at that.

If you want the pie-chart item timers, change gametype settings-ruleset from "Classic" to "Default".

Already tried that before I posted. If I do that I can't put a checkmark in enable item timers.

"for us noobs"..."i am no beginner to quake"...

wat

Got it to work now. Thanks mi :)

can you post a screen shot of these pie chart item timers plese?

just join any default FFA and look at any armor, MH or powerup spawn.

Just play Clan Arena or Attack & Defend.
