trusted users shouldn't need admin approval

Anhedonined shouldn't be trusted. He's from Bhutan god damit

I could abuse the html tags and bypass admin approval but I decided to play nice :}

basically terrorism

Accurate.

He actually got thrown out of the window for chewing gum, resting his head and arm on the table, his non-conformist hair cut, and semi-casual attire.

Most of the 'community' has no idea what they're talking about.

Agreed, a small portion has some really good ideas though.

So is the proposed solution to listen to the community or to listen to your subset of the community?

Anything at this point.

let's see what do they have in stock for the January update

I'm not a tester but subscribers forum says they are testing PQL changes and content.

sigh

disable friend list to remove potential lag
chat/lobby
Official ladders

etc
etc

but first... let's talk about PQL.

i have large friends list and no lag

Welcome to silence zone. Enjoy standard rotation.

have large friends list and huge lag, in fact i had to create a alt account to play .
I payed pro for nothing, at least i can spawn servers...

so just remove a shitload of friends... leave a note in your bio if you're worried about it being taken the wrong way

or i could just play a free and opensource quake live clone, that has features that many were requesting from quake live for years and they still don't have them(integrated ladders,cups and rankings).
Oh and no silly updates that fuck with your config and add nothing worthwhile, no stupid lags from friends list or other reasons, servers wherever u want etc.

...or you could just remove a shitload of friends

or i could do both :DDDDD

I wonder if that's our fault?

True, but does picking out 5 people out of 1000 qualify as listening to the community?

y blame zeni and not just id?

zenimax has arguably one of the most competitive games/franchises of e-sports under it's roof and is doing nothing with it, just let it survive with the help of some really amazing community-work (qlranks, streamers/casters, pickup organizers, scripts to improve the page, tournaments!) and 2 devs

shamanic edit

but was anything really different when id was running things?

What was wrong with quake 3? :o

it got replaced by QL.

dunno, but i believe that after ql was in open beta, there was feb->june/july where everyone still hated on id, then zeni bought them and now everyone hates on zeni

seems meaningless to me. we already know that id saw/see QL as just a test. sure you can blame zenimax for not digging down into all of id's decisions to overrule them, but I see it more of zenimax respecting id, and not doing the EA thing of just buying a studio for its IP and shut it down after a few months.

Plenty.

The community added all the competitive features, improvements to the netcode, as well as nearly all the improvements to the executable. The list goes on and on.

This time, the most they are willing to let us do to the core game is add a user made map every three months or so.

I'm not saying anything into that direction, just saying they (id/zenimax) waste a valuable brand a bit while esportslol is as big as never before

the community should also be thrown out of the window... oh wait..

xDDD

Hire raythenoob, cooloutac, and detlew plz.

yes get detlew, we are still missing auto aim so the console peasants can transition over more easily

Also found this nifty image and thought I'd bump it for a while
