"Two people on 50 ping can now LG 40 percent against each other (like on LAN, yes, we understand)"

They allways could, even without xerpclients.

But, again, to play along;

For example rockets don't feel like LAN because it isn't LAN, xerpclients predicts the enemy's position so imagine if your enemy is moving to the left at 320 ups and his model is predicted to be 50 ms further(No idea what value's there are with xerpclients, but for the sake of the argument.).
Now, all of the sudden he starts moving to the right and once again, xerpclients predicts the model to be 50ms further, this time, to the right.

There must have been a sudden jump between where the model was predicted far to the left, and when the player changed direction and the model was predicted to the right, now the prediciton by the code is still correct, but the projectile prediction by the player is most likely a tad of due to the sudden shift, again this would affect all weapons but it is most likely easier to notice with rocketlauncher as shaft has got a higher rof and thus can be adjusted faster.

As to wether this throws of the balance... well using such prediction on projectile weapons isn't such a good decision in the first place, wich would be the reason MANY people have weapon specific xerp settings.

now it's simple: wait for it....wait for it.....ZZZZZZ50%ZZZZZZ. magnificent! you just defeated the carefully orchestrated timing of items into a juice cycle by standing still (because you have no clue where your opponent is) until he runs by and then implement your 1.5s of shaft work technique - you're clearly the superior player in form, strategy and class...

why should vq3 players have to bend to the desires of a completely different scene? why can't vq3 players just get the game back as it was enjoyed for more than 6 years before it was forcibly changed?

excuse me, what? your mod developer, the fabled 'arqon' was on the cpl committee, effectively forcing all osp players who wanted to actually play competitively to switch.

don't use the argument, 'oh they should j ust stick to osp'. what's the point if there's nothing at stake, no competition? hm? quake is a game of mastery, there are many fundamental elements such as, weapon technique, positioning, timing, movement, thinking, teamplay - quake has -always- been about developing these skills to be their best and better than everyone elses.

it's so weak to use that argument, infact so many arguments such as 'xerp = good cause you hit where you aim', 'cpma physics - oh the previous physics were corrected so it's right now so that means it's better' and 'why not go back to osp then if you whine so much about xerp and movement?' - wow hm, tough ones. oh wait, 'retarded ones' would be more accurate, or maybe, 'ignorant', or how about 'tunnel vision'; another good one.

and about your scene bending to meet the desires of vq3 - arqon is the reason everything switched as i said. so blame him and the fact he ignores the community. his inaction is the reason for all of this, and his desire to snuff out osp/vq3.

now all treads looks exactly "cpm`er: vq3 so slow , so shit, all aim... its vq3 fault not xerp!!! play cpm!!!! it super!!!"

u r real idiot :D we played osp 5 years, all was happy! cpma vq3 maked us more happy even after 1 year play! buuuuuut then started some bad changes... etc: icons, lg, xerp, rail.. :) get the point.. :)

why then we moved from osp to cpma, most was happy @ netcode, but look what happened then xerp using by vq3, not cpm, most of good players angry, coz much low skill u need to aim, xerp destroying all vq3 game..

If you had low self-esteem, you wouldn't make a post about it. That's the OPPOSITE of what someone with low self-esteem would do.
