If this means appearing on fazz's stream more often, with teamspeak, then yes, I am very happy for you.

Yes!

One day I too hope to be able to get some fiber in my life!

Some constipation problems?

Talk to your local baker about that.

Good luck with that. I live in Alta and have 75/25, see how my life turned out.

Ah so jelly - this is what passes for 'fiber optic' in the UK:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/3830816250.png at least my ping is ok I suppose :(

Anyway congratz, hope this can help fix the rage a bit now :D

I have 158/15 in Fibre in London.

Not amazing, but decent :D.

In London.

What did I win?

A 'z', hehe.

What package are you on? gief nao

It's BT Infinity 4.

I'm lucky to live in a new development, there is nothing but FTTH here. Another ISP called "hyperoptic" started selling their offers aswell in the building; symmetrical 1Gb for £50 a month but I'm moving out in January and am still am under contract with BT for another ~10months anyway.

holy shit, what do you pay for that?

£67/month

why the fuck would you pay so much for inet
and why are you in london

Because downloading 8go games in 4minutes is awesome! And price is relative to anyone's earnings =P

I moved to London at the begining of the year for 'work'.

not really~ a month ago I got a 50% pay rise in job switch...doesn't mean I'm gonna go out & upgrade my net...+ how often do you download 8gb games? -_

how you finding london? ;o what kinda work? ;o

Fair enough. I don't think you would care about a £30 difference for your internet connection if you were earning as much as Bill Gates though =P. It is an extreme example but you get the point.
Worth mentioning that I do share the connection with someone so I pay only half of that which ends up being pretty much what I was used to pay in France.

London is definitely too expensive for what it is and while it wasn't bad (well it kinda is relative to the price), it's too noisy for my tastes and i'll be looking for a quieter area when I move in January.
The currency is also well used to rip people off. =P

Query me on irc if you really want to know what I do.

London is definitely too expensive for what it is and while it wasn't bad (well it kinda is relative to the price), it's too noisy

Amen!

Oh yeah it's not bad when splitting the cost.

Wasn't really looking for a detailed run down of your daily job duties, just general thing to compare with Paris (assuming that's where you're from). e.g. there's 340eu/day java jobs in Paris & although London goes up to £550~ I guess living with family would offset the lower pay (assuming you lived with family in Paris)...but having said that you're already splitting London costs with your roommate so my query becomes pretty irrelevent :P
Birmingham is where it's at unless you're still planning to commute to London for work

.

can't you just play online from a countryside in france then?

.

oh yeah. why not live in some tax haven then ;o

Been living in London for a year now and I agree that it's over priced and people here get ripped off on every corner. Everything has a fucking fee attached to it.

I work as a software developer and I make a decent amount of cash but its still somewhat of a struggle for the most part.

Rent kills you, coming from Cape Town, South Africa, I could get maybe a 5 bedroom house on a beach, fully furnished quite easily for what I pay for a smallish 2 bed in London. fml

I guess it's good to be Ebola free ; )

Flat out robbery. 15-25 EUR is reasonable.

That's talk talk for you hahahahaha

Indeed. pretty atrocious but still better than sky or plusnet :P

My sky says otherwise. http://www.speedtest.net/result/3834067744.png
I'm also busy streaming some shit, so usually it's about 45/15

q:D

Wow, that's quite impressive. An irl friend of mine has Sky and he's getting 2/2 dl/ul which is atrocious by 2014's standards. By that comparison I felt like my connection (even if it isn't perfect) was at least decent. Previous post edited. :D

Bah maybe I should move to a city. >:(

Well I live outside of Manchester, So I'd imagine my connection would be a bit better if I was more city based, but hey, can't complain :D

Man, and I gotta live with my 40/40. Gratz.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3830638877 <3

solid win! :-)

so your elo when you got it was 2100?
Could you reply to me when it drops below 1950 or rises above 2200? :p

I'm gonna call it and say that you'll drop down to 1950.
Although with the fairly substancial new players in QL who all get slaughtered there will be a large inflation of elo (for everyone above average).... which might make the drop be less significant than I think it will be.

Anyway you now have someone to prove wrong :D
Great motivation to improve imho.

Not everyone is seeking an advantage and some of us prefer a decent smooth game experience rather than a shitty lagometer making it all sluggish. Might be news to you, who knows :O

I'm not saying he was searching for it.
He just at some point in time said that my whining about his connection was unjustified.

So I'm curious if he'd be any better or worse with a good connection and if so that he could notify me about it.

qlranks needs a [STALK via RSS] button

ok, I've noticed your nick suits you well, but saying that people with shitty internet have an advantage over the ones with good stable internet is just something I don't find as a good statement. Both have their ups and downs of course, but in the end stability is something I would like to rely on so I'm saying that the ones with good stable internet have an advantage in the long run.

In addition to plazma's better internet we'll be seeing p0ni with a new connection some time soon too.

you might find it a bad statement but it's factually completely accurate for people that play agressive with LG.
It has been well documented in the theory of unlagged and I've wrote/illustrated several pages with why and how (and in which specific situations) this is the case.

If you don't like my view then you're more then welcome to read up on unlagged and then change your opinion on the matter.

p0ni on good inet... that'll be funny.
Msg me when he gets it I might tune in to a zotac again if that happens, just for laughs.

Weird living in the past confirmed.

facts from the past also hold in the present. Otherwise they wouldn't be facts now would they?
At most they would be theories or laws but never facts.

little hint, the past part starts with Z..

little hint, the present part starts with P..

Have you read your own posts?

Msg me when he gets it I might tune in to a zotac again if that happens, just for laughs.

ZOTAC?! :D

ah ye never really got used to faceit :p

you're such a mummy. Faceit has stopped with quake live sunday cups too :DD. It's all about 125fps monthly tournament and whatever cups zlive team comes up with : )

I really don't follow it anymore :D
I know the players though, and all of their skills and weaknesses.
Most of them haven't changed or are fairly incapable of change in their understanding of the game.

you're so fucking full of yourself. i would pay a million to id for changing the netcode for your liking just to see your ass still get raped.

I don't follow your logic.

You think that somewhere I'm thinking about playing them myself?
I haven't touched QL in over a year and I haven't "really played" since 2012.
I only sometimes get on when I'm semi drunk and wind up playing some cheating faggot for an hour, just because that's the only somewhat interresting game on that late at night on a public server :p

(edit: the "not touching quake" is not really the best choice of words as I have played some drunk nights etc. And I actually did once wind up sober at some point playing Garpy and some other guy.)

oh i know. it's just your unjustifiably overinflated ego and arrogance is making my blood boil.

i hope all the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you. playa haters unite!

right....
And that is because???
You're envious of everyone who actually is skilled?

I somehow offended you?
Your dick is tiny?
I dunno.

didn't you just explain in your last post how unskilled you are at quake nowadays?

so, no. not envious. i'm also not envious of your superior skill of trying to be the ONLY person to be right about something.

"I know the players though, and all of their skills and weaknesses.
Most of them haven't changed or are fairly incapable of change in their understanding of the game."

how is that not arrogant as fuck?

funny thing is you are just incapable to change your understading.

No I told people actively back in 2010 (or 2011) that I would forever refuse to alter my gameplay to fit to online. As I do not view the online lagfest that quake has become as the real game.
Also I feared that my skill on the whole would decrease from altering my gameplay to fit to online rather than the way I was playing which should've worked fine on lan. That I wasn't invited to lans anywhere from 2009 - 2011 is just messed up. Especially because people who I beat consistently did go.

I tried to actively make ID realize that what they were making wasn't quake but a lagfest... At which I (perhaps) failed or they just didn't care.

My understanding of the game predicted how QL's changes would influence the game far before anyone actually played like that.
Next to that I've also won quite a lot of local competition in other games (from blobby volley to UT to Red Alert to Worms and I was also fairly decent at racing games (especially the formula 1 and forza games which require delecate handling ;p)).

Your turn again to say how my ego is so big my body can't handle it.

;) and that's why i would pay the million. to see you battle it out with the puny cyphers and evils whose skills and weaknesses you have chopped and diced into tiny little pieces in your vast brain that holds the magnificent computing power of 10000 modern pc's. they are just measly stepping stones on your way to quake kinghood, lucrative endorsements and eternal glory. all hail the mastermind weird.

edit: "When who is becomes who was and who could have been will never be somebody"

I never said I was better than cypher and when I played (for the largest part) evil wasn't even near agent yet. I dunno wtf you're talking about.

yeah i'm sorry i even started this. nvm.

Weird, I've got you back bro.

so basically your saying that you have never stated that you where to best player in the world when the conditions where right?

Wouldnt that entail you being better then everyone else including cypher?

I would also want to hear what your reasons for complaining about netcode in osp aswell, as apparantly nothing is ever right by your standards.

The fact that you scream cheats or lag everytime you get a bit of a challenge is amusing imho.

Seems to be the dutch way tbh.

I didn't say I was the best. I have said at some point that I would've been able to compete with the best at lan and have a similar chance of winning as several other players.

I didn't whine about netcode in OSP.

I also don't whine about cheats if it's not justified.

Can I ask you a question: Are you posting anonymously because you're an asshole or do you have some other reason?

Blaming lag and packetloss for every other loss is essentially the same thing as blaming netcode. You dont want to adapt, cause your way of thinking is in your own mind the superiour way.

Just like arguing any topic with you is pointless as you are in your own mind never wrong.
Heres where accusing people of cheating comes in, you decide when its justified, which is apparantly everytime you play someone "unknown".

Feel free to ask any question you want.

you're free to answer my question with a yes / no answer... although your post like this obviously tells me that you are an asshole.

You're probably even the cheating fuck who I played 2 days ago, isn't that right?
Had to change your ip adress because it was banned again and now you blame me?

You should stop blaming me for whatever you think I've done and start judging me on what I factually done. And none of your absurd shit resembles that.

Forgot to touch on this aswell, you have on several occasions said that in the right conditions you were the best player in the world.

You use the same mindset to justify the shit you say to people, no matter if you realise it or not, or if you are even willing to admit to it to your self.


Essentially this is a waste of time as nothing will pull you out of your own delusions.

I'll just leave this here.

was a fun match although it was anoying that stermy kept hitting so much :D
I did kept getting into fairly decent fights but I couldn't manage to deal enough dmg to turn around the control fast enough :(

rofl you cant kill a guy with 12 hp. you're just bad, damage output has nothing to do with it.

perhaps you should try taking on stermy when he's in shape on one of his better maps.

Holy shit that announcer voice is so awesome :OO

Good old times :)

also tune in to a gdata cup on saturday

why?
Is poni gonna play on good internet?

I have played ages with 50-70 ms. I can confirm, LG feels best on 50-55ms. Now I am on 30 ms. It's different world for skilled player in good way.
Why 50-70 pingers are lagfest LG +attack whores? becouse it's only way to win, becouse you are not able to use other guns properly. Ping makes you play like that. With 30 ms , now I can use a lot RL/PG and some more RG. LG direct fights are worse, but LG are more responsable , so you can first start LG battles and give damage before you recieve.
Now after 6dmg lg, it's even bigger advantage for low pinger.
ps. I have played you in 2009 and so on. I have so much experience in Q3/QL duel, you are 2000 ELO player, you were so standart, nothing special in anyway.

incoming 3000 word essay on why Weird is over 9000 elo

I only disagree with the last line.

But I completely agree with the rest.
Because I know WHY it is that you HAD TO play +forward lg.... and that (if I needed to win) it would force me to also play +forward with lg.
This has made quake into a game it never should've become... and nowadays it lead to a downtuning of the LG because the developers are too limited in their thinking about the topic to actually fix the real problem.

I'm not sure if we played in 2009 though... I think I remember you from late 2010 / 2011 (I could be mistaking though).

If we would've played on lan in 2010 or if we both had ping 30 perhaps you would've seen a different me. As then I wouldn't have had to struggle so much to cope with the +forward lg shit.
I really felt as if I couldn't do anything online back then against anyone with a semi crap connection. It only got worse for me over time... In 2009 I don't remember making too much of a deal about it in public... then in 2010 I began to whine and in 2011 I got so anoyed I pretty much stopped.

"and that (if I needed to win) it would force me to also play +forward with lg." but as I know you don't have 55-70 ms on de/nl ? So why are you forced to play this style? After my ping change to 30 , now I have two options , instead of one with 60 ms.
In osp with 60 ms vs 30 ms you had ZERO options. What's makes QL>OSP netcode for online gaming. It's not perfect ,but BETTER SOLUTION!

It's because the influence of ping is too large in lg fights.

[The situation:]
Say that we have a fair fight on LAN (or very low pings) where you jump into a room agressing me.
Because it's fair I will win 50% of the time and you will win 50% of the time.

[Assumption that your ping is crappy and my ping is good. The combined ping of ours is fairly high.]

Now online if the combined ping of ours is fairly high (doesn't matter much who is the guy with the higher ping) this same situation would be skewed into almost 70% - 30% in favor of the agressor when the agressor uses LG.
With other weapons (because they are not unlagged or are called a railgun which has a high reload time) this skewing effect does not apply in the same way (still asuming a fair fight on low ping). [note @ end of post]

Now because this advantage of +forward LG:
1) I would be heavily negatively influencing my own game if I did not do this.
2) Whenever a situation on lan is 50 / 50 I should assume that vs a crap ping it's 30 / 70 which is suddenly a very bad situation. So I should need to alter my game such that I don't get into these situations.

The only real way to make the game 'fair' in terms of situations is if I would start to reduce my agressive attacks with RL and increase agression with LG.

Now for the low ping guy ofcourse he has more options... he can play agressive with RL as well as agressive with LG. But the whole 'defensive' style which works on lan is completely destroyed because of the massive advantage in certain situations of +forward LG.



[note] If in the same situation you would come in with RL your own ping would matter and (because your ping sucked) this would mean I would win large.
With rail it's more equal as you can't really play "agressive" with rail due to weakness of the reload time. You'll still be vulnerable if you jump into a fight with rail out no matter what you do. (Although you do still have an advatange as an agressor over the defender in general compared to lan. But on lan the defender with rail has a large advantage over the agressor because of sound / limited entry locations of the agressor etc.)

Translation for anyone interested, he would rather ping rape somebody then actually having a semi fair game where he is forced to adapt his playstyle to the current situation.

Nevermind the fact from all the talk he has been doing he has never been able to reproduce the same results in public that he keeps complaining about.

tanslation: daddy05 is so pissed at me that he's now on esr whining on every post that I make like the true mental patient that he is.

What the fuck are you on about?

I comment about you refusing to play the game cause you need to play +forward with lg.
Yet you want to make changes to the game were ping would be the deciding factor to who wins or not, in other words forcing people to play the game differently.

Even if you both go to a server with equally shitty ping the problem still remains, you would both have to change your style of play.

For some reason you think im somebody else and i find it funny that you are calling someone else a mental patient considering your own behaviour.

Why would me refusing to play a certain way be your problem?

I say that atm the game's asynchronisity favors people who +forward lg and this difference increases when pings are higher. You have not shown me otherwise (because you can't, because I'm right).
I personally do not want to play +forward lg so I am being negatively influenced by anyone who has a high ping and does play +forward lg. (this is all very logical)
That you cannot understand the concepts and therefor aim to insult me is however very stupid to do. Mainly because in comparison to me you can't compete in any way.

Sigh..

Hitscan weapons are the most viable weapon on higher pings because of antilag. It gives higher ping players an option.
Removing unlagged would make EVERY weapon "worthless" and skew the game so horribly in favour of the person with the ping advantage that it would be pointless to play if the skill levels are equal. I never challenged this, i never intended too challenge that but yet that is the thing you start complaining about, your comment about someone else being a mental patient makes this fairly ironic.

My issue with your statements are that you feel the need to complain about unlagged and wanting to remove it in favour of ping advantage.
Which would force the very same thing you dont want to do on everybody else with a ping disadvantage.
You really dont see the hypocrisy in this?

Explain something to me, why is it everytime i see you argument on esreality your comments boil down to.

"i am better then you, i am right, your not, you cant even compete with me, you dont even understand me."

You basically ignored my comment and subtituted it with a imaginary argument, proclaimed victory and then condescended me in a vain attempt of displaying your imaginary superiority.

It doesn't give higher ping players any option.
It forces both players to play +forward with lg.

Also I answered your other post perfectly.
Next to that you are assuming that I want changes to be made in favor of myself while I don't. I never wanted any changes to be beneficial to myself.

If I wanted to make changes which are beneficial to my results I would've started to play +forward lg and playing with torrents on a LONG time ago.
I refuse to do that because I am fair.

Any other imaginary points you wanna make or did I dismiss all of your horrendous horse shit about me by now?

You don't even have the dignity to post stuff under an alias... how sad is that?

The shit you're saying here about me and the lack of knowledge you seem to have upon the topic cannot lead to any other conclusion than what I already reached in my first post.
So plz either get a clue or get lost.

How did you answer my post perfectly?

I stated a couple of facts about the purpose of antilag and why your reason for removing unlagged is a unreasonable choice in the grand scale of things. Aswell as the fact that you want to basically force the same issue that is making you not play the game on other people with a ping disadvantag..

You then answer with stating the nature of antilags issues and then you essentially go "i win, you are dumb, you know nothing, fuck off".

I try and explain my point of view further and i ask you to explain why you are a condescending dick head in every thread ive seen you in.

To which you reply with more arguing, you dragging up something i havnt even touched on, aswell as you contradicting yourself in the span of two lines of text.

To which you again essentialy go "i win, your stupid, fuck off".

Again, your comment about someone else being a mental patient makes this whole thing oh so ironic.


Tip: I have 3 comments in this thread, i know you think i am someone else, but im not. So chill the fuck out.

If you think I didn't answer your post then your post was too unclear as to what you wanted to know.
You also do not state a single fact about the purpose of antilag, and your assumption as for my reason for removing unlagged is completely made up and fabricated by your own mental state which shows me as being the bad guy.
The only thing you claim is that removing it (antilag) would alter the effectiveness of hitscan weapons for high pinging players.
Which I already said is NOT a 1 way street. Both player's LG get more OP the higher the pings go. So removing this would significantly lower the strength of both player's lg.
That you don't get that is probably because you only view this from a hpb perspective and you're a highly egocentrical person.


My reason is that the asynchronic server state leads to a different actual game than what is possible on lan. Aka you physically would have different options online, and they are all skewed towards playing +forward with lg. (the higher the pings the more the skew)

It has nothing to do with me having a better ping than anyone else. Actually my ping has never been that good. It's pretty stable though around 35. But in OSP times I used to play on 50 ~ 80 most of the time with a pretty laggy connection. I had no real problem with that.

Even in QL I placed high (top4 / top8) in several USA based tournaments while pinging 130 ~ 170. This was not a big deal to me, and it would've been even easier (for me, with my playstyle) if the netcode was OSP like.


I don't really need to be accurate on who you are specifically (I figured you're a cheater because of your mindset + attitude towards me) what really matters is how you view the problem. Which is ONLY from your own side.
This view also makes you think that I am saying things ONLY from my own side. If however you would actually understand what I'm saying you'd see that I don't argue for myself but for the greater good.

You answered my post, the issue was that i wasnt seeking an answer on the first part of my response. I asked why you were acting like a condescending dick.
You know, the sentence with a question mark.

You have then went off on tangents about netcode, while my original point wasnt about netcode at all, but your questional morality ie. you being a hypocrit.

You then argue about netcode some more, apparantly accuse me of being someone else and then go on arguing shit that you yourself bring up and then proclaim yourself the winner off.

I am not arguing with you, at this point im narrating what the fuck you are doing and you are seemingly completely unnaware of this.


Your current behaviour is literally off someone with a inferiority complex, your trying to argue and be right even though there is no discussion or argument.

I have one final question for you, why do you keep saying one thing and then turn around and say something that contradicts your initial statement?

I would suggest you re-read everything you have written if you dont know what i mean.

You mean that from the line "What the fuck are you on about?"
I should be able to deduce that you're asking me why YOU think that I'm a hypocrite on the topic of netcode?

Right... So from an insulting line of text that is completely arbitrary I should be able to read your mind.
Meanwhile you can insult me for no reason at all and insult both my integrity and my intelligence.

You're one deluded sad fuck, do you know that? (<-- now that is a question that's understandable even for you)

You make false conclusions on wrong assumptions and then blame me for calling you out on it. Meanwhile you're acting like a dick and you expect me to stay respectfull?
Plz go off and remove yourself from the equation.

Sounds more like he'd rather have something consistant, like I dunno, LAN?

Go play osp or vq3 without unlagged with a ping of 35+ vs someone with 10ping.

The only consistency is on the side of the person with the ping advantage.

I did, with 120ms vs 15ms, felt really consistent, yes lower ping had an advantage, but what I saw on the screen correlated with what was actually happening.

If you have fluctuating ping,jitter etc it wont feel consistent at all.
If you have straight 120ping, then sure it will feel consistent, but so would it in quakelive.

Now imagine you having lag reconcilliation in the same situation, it would look strange without clientside prediction but would still be highly consistent.

Issues arise when your doing a shit fuck ton of interpolation and prediction to try and smooth out the players experience.
The client is basically guessing what will happen next and then the shit hits the fan when things dont line up in a pretty way.

Still, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks making it a viable option overall Instead of having no compensation and basically splitting up the community even further because ping advantage will be to stronk..

so it's ok if for the warping guy everything is consistent while the non-warping person sees a guy warp all over his screen?

Sounds like a great idea yes let's do that.
In fact why not give everyone warp? That way it'll be fair!

LAN would be great to have all the time.... that way the netcode itself doesn't really matter anyway (infinite bandwidth + extreme fast response times).

But I'd just want a synchronised server state. One where the "game happens as if on lan".
I can deal with any ping just fine, as long as it's MY ping I have to worry about. It's not really possible to get great consistency if you have to alter your game to suit the opponents ping.

I don't see why you're so happy. +forward lagattack was one of your best moves. ;)

I used to play with 100ms plus loss ranging from 5 to 10 and i had to be qualified to the tournaments that i applied for. :(

2100 Elo with 38% win rate, this guy owns. I'm being serious.

Your anguished screeches on fazz's stream were hilarious btw

Once there was a storm.
My router stopped working.
Got new one.
Checked internetz. I should have something around 20/20.

Blessing.

Do you mean fiber to the home?

Ahh, I remember your connection was soo bad.

Good stuff, you're gonna be so good now.

ping 1 ms over the internetz....sure....i hate u all!!!

the building that i live is so old that i can't even put the regular phone cable to connect the modem, imagine if i could have fibre optics here. :(

i still got 13mbps download and 1.1mbps upload :D

and ping 53ms on DEU servers :D

:((((( i envy you :)))))

yeah but what are your pings?
most important being .de

its not like im braggin or smth

wtf is that internet connection

yeah but what u payin for that? in romania 1GB download=13 euro/month. i got 100MB with 7 euro cuz shit pc, need ssd and i5 at least to handle more

the amount of rockets is too damn high vol.1

respect the paco!

£30/month phone + inet...good enough~ I'd take slower if it meant cheaper. don't give a crap about u/l speeds anyways since I always leech



hate how you have to pay for phone line when I make 0 calls =/

fuck leechers

Just moaned to Virgin about my 30mb bill going from £32/month to £36/month. Verified I can leave contract early because of the price hike (ofcom) & asked about downgrading to 20mb or something.

Instead they upped my broadband to 50mb and now I pay £25/month including phone line

nice! better get used to it :P

I can't play with 18 ping :(
I've been conditioned to 70ping. :(
