1/ Go to #QLRanks channel on QuakeNet here : http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=QLRanks

2/ type !findduel <your_ELO>

3/ the bot will tell you the closest player waiting for an opponent with a direct link to join the server

for example:
====================
<+nsx> !findduel 1500
<@[QLRANKS]> >> nsx- Closest duel for: 1500 > cajunb(1499) @ aerowalk > http://www.quakelive.com/#!join/892328
====================

Didn't know this, thanks

its ok, you can lose to me
edit: its no good. recommended me a server with 2 players. issued the command again and it recommended the same server

dunno, i just bought sc2

just like the deer, run away brah

NSEX 1500¿?¿?¿? LMAO NOBO GTFO CA 1v1 THUNDERSTRUKCHS

yes because i only play people with >300 more ELO than me.
problem?

So you are a masochist, aren't you?

my ELO doesnt reflect my true skill
















I'm worse.

PS: +'d by accident, enjoy

Solid 8% plus, yummy!

Didn't knew this neither, woot, good to know!

how does it specify locations? what if I can only play in a certain region

You can also practice against bots. Load a practice game against a random bot on Nightmare difficulty, and just concentrate on timing mega using your HUD timer. I don't know if you're premium/pro or not but in practice mode you can see the premium scoreboard and it will tell you how many major items you got in addition to your individual weapon accuracies. Aim to deny that motherfucking bot every single mega, over a few different maps. When you've got the hang of timing mega, you can begin thinking about other aspects of the game while maintaining your mega-domination, such as Red Armor and also hunting the bot off his spawn.

You can experiment a lot in practice mode at your level, such as playing with just one weapon, etc.

A few useful practice-mode commands:

/kick botname - kick the bot, even in the middle of a match (in duel this will also abort the match)

/kick all - kick all bots, useful for team-modes

/addbot botname botskill botteam botdelay botnickname adds a bot with the defined parameters. Usually just the first two will suffice, for example:

/addbot xaero 5 will add Xaero on nightmare difficulty
/addbot ranger 4 will add Ranger on hardcode difficulty

/map_restart - instantly resets map to warmup mode, even in the middle of a match

/map mapname - instantly changes map, even in the middle of a match

Also, hitting ESC will pause any match in practice mode.

Try playing on Blood Run (/map bloodrun) against Xaero on Nightmare (/addbot xaero 5) a few times and report back here with you final scores.

Xaero is overall the best bot to practice against, as he uses all weapons with very high accuracy (especially the rail), and will really punish you if you miss your shots, go into a fight with insufficient stack, +forward too much or remain visible when you should have disappeared 10 seconds ago. You will also learn a lot about rail angles and the importance of hitting the first rocket.

Other bots to play against are Hunter (LG master), and Ranger (Rocket + Plasma). There are many other bots to choose from, each one with their own habits and weapon preferences.

Of course, bots are bots and their AI is limited, they have a few bugs and whatnot, but they're good for beginners such as yourself to get started in the absence of humans of a similar level. When you feel confident that you can consistently beat bots on Nightmare on any map, your elo should approx. be 1200 and you are ready to venture forth and play against QL's limited human playerbase :D

Bots are broken in QL -

run out of ammo, stop shooting. If you approach them they just run towards you till the duel ends. Without doing anything.
Fail a jump, repeat the failed jump for 10 minutes.

They're not planing to fix the bots since they're focusing mainly on multiplayer.

I know, but the guy is a complete beginner and get's owned too hard in pub servers to be able to focus on what he's doing well and what he's doing bad. Most bots stop shooting because their weapon preferences are limited, where as Xaero uses all weapons so he will always switch until using up his last MG bullet.

im about to play Xaero now on nightmare and i will post a screen shot of the outcome :) thank you

Yeah, truly top duel players.

Good page, will check again... in another 2 years, because that's how long it exists and it's still fucking useless.

1. Ppl will tell you that you should get better in main quake skills by playing other modes at first.
It will be easier for you to find opponents at your level in other modes but in duel you can learn all these skills too and if you make a mistake then you are going to pay for it - not your teammates.

2. Play more warmup to practice aim and dodging in various situations. You can do this in other modes instead but imo warmup is best for duelers. Too bad they decreased starting stack in warmup.

3. You won 21 duels. Add these ppl to your friendlist and try playing with them whenever possible.

4. Use in game qlranks announcer from qlranks.com and don't play against ppl who are more than 200 elo above you (unless they use handicap). It's a waste of time - you don't learn anything from these games because your good moves and decisions don't get rewarded.
You can play them if you feel that you are playing better and want to test your skills but don't let yourself go into long losing streaks.

5. Read this thread and your previous one and shortly write down important advices. Read it always before playing and try to concentrate on few things from the list.

6. Add me in ql (fautec) and feel free to ask any questions you want. I can also contact you with few <1000 elo players.

just play, don't expect to win too much

You learn nothing by playing people far better than you. I tried, it just doesn't work.

if he's 700 elo he's not gonna win, make it +1000 and then you have the right to be upset if you lose 95% of the matches

the thing is, there's no people with 700 elo, he _can't_ find skillmatched dudes

My point is, most people you'll hit playing randomly on publics will have a lot more elo than him. So "just playing" and "not expecting to win too much" will yield no positives for him, just frustration and decreased motivation.

From my personal experience, if you want to learn as an (almost) complete duel beginner you have to look specifically for people that will probably beat you, but not so hard that you'll get nothing positive out of the game.

From my experience, no matter what you're gonna lose your first 100 duels.

There should be about as many players with 700 Elo than there are with 1700. Skillwise, that is. Most of these probably never stick around long enough to get that low. They simply obviously don't like playing duel as much. So the difficulty really is to find them; they exist.

OP, you should join a fun clan and try to get its worse players to duel with you. Teach them if necessary. Go easy on them at first if necessary.

Actually you learn something. I remember alfaomega. Each game we played I raped him for like 40frg difference at houseofdecay / dm6. A month later he started to play with top russians. He improved a lot. Now he porbably eat me for lunch in a duel. I personally improve more with loosing than winning.

but that frag difference was map-specific, it's not the same

Don't say your ELO is embarassing, the only thing embarassing is that you actually think it's embarassing, you are new to duel so you are bad and your ELO reflects that, there's nothing more to it and only idiots will judge you for that.
With that being said you have to understand that your ELO is VERY low, which means that unlike what you are thinking you are probably not better than your ELO. There are 98276 tracked duel players in QLRanks and you are currently 98260th which means pretty much everyone is better than you.
Another thing is that you have 20 days of playtime with 3500 ffa games played, so I think that you don't have much room for improvement in terms of movement and aim, unless you played those 3500 really not seriously.

My opinion is that, like potat said, you should practice against bots. Beating a nightmare Xaero is easy, you time items so you are always stacked, the bot is always unstacked, so even if his accuracy is much higher than yours you will win. And that's probably your best bet when it comes to defeating real players, because once again I do not think that your aim will magically improve now, so you have to really take that into account. I remember playing a lot of players with really bad aim but who understood the value of +back, hiding and timing and were therefore not completely horrible.

Also when you are ready and since you have a pro subscription, spawn a standard server and kick everyone with an ELO above 1200, use that QLRanks ingame script to quickly check ELO.

once again folks excelent advice. im really glad i joined this place. thank you very much indeed.

wh the fuck?

don't spoil it yet, he hasn't seen the true esr

http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q786/andr...da5378.jpg

could post a demo but the only way i know to do that is via email :(:

You could try using Mega.co.nz or mediafire to upload files. They might require you to sign up though.

Ok not bad, but as you can see he still got 7 megas. Here are some milestones I propose for you, you are free to tell me to go fuck myself but I think they will help your game:

* Play against Xaero Nightmare on Blood Run and deny every single mega (except the first one if he gets Mega spawn)

** Play against Xaero Nightmare on Furious Heights and deny every single RA (except the first one if he gets RA spawn)

*** Play against Xaero Nightmare on Campgrounds without dying. Trying to achieve this will really make you learn a lot of things, most notably:

- The importance of controlling the main items (mega/RA): knowing when they are spawning, defending them, laying traps at them, knowing which order to collect them in, planning and executing your route towards items based on how long it takes you to get from A to B, etc.

- The importance of predicting your opponent's objectives and denying him key items/weapons: in this specific case, Rail. Xaero's predictability in this regard won't be very useful against humans, but it does serve as insight into how to plan ahead regarding your opponent's behaviour.

- The importance of knowing approximately where your enemy will spawn after killing him and how to take advantage of this.

- The importance of being resourceful and knowing the map's items like the back of your hand (the ability to rapidly replenish your health by stringing together several 25 HP bubbles while simultaneously picking up shards or YA cannot be undervalued)

- Knowing when to gtfo of your enemy's vicinity, +backing with rockets and maintaining position.

Yeh well my elo is embarrasing too, 800-900, feel free to add me. We can play sometime :)

Don't be so hard on yourself, Proph. <3

I'm always hard on myself, rocketing myself to -1 :))

Getting a little flustered during hardcore action, huh? : )

Yeh I can rage pretty bad :)))

Feel free to add me too (QL alias: feLix_). Iam currently at 1186 elo but Iam at tier 2. Its hard to find any duel players in tier 2 :(

Added you guys (Andras, Prophy and feLix_)! Hopefully we can duel sometimes! I'm upper Tier 3/bottom Tier 4 in CA, but completely new to duel.

If any other newcomer wants to add me, feel free to do so (QL alias is "Rjven" as well). :)

The invite was lost/gone, so I invited you instead.

all of the above is bullshit, you'll still suck and won't find good play mates. buy a private cheat, and your elo will go to at least 1800 the first game you'll join. after a few days, 2000+ elo no problem. no need to thank me

Perhaps his goal is not to be a sad faggot hated by almost everybody. Just my few cents.

hate takes a lot of energy. indifference doesnt

At least you admitted that you still suck.

qlive is dead bro, just delete this terrible game
no point in playing a game that died 10 years ago
only desperate fools play it

mark my words

This post certainly didn't worth the registration.

I marked your words, nothing happened.

Actually, SOMETHING happened. I had to poo.

The bitch didn't come easy. At the end of the day, it was an enlightening experience giving birth to the consequences of the previously seen faggotry.

what's your elo, sweetie?

1600 more than yours without cheats.

link or it didnt happen

:'D

Have a potat.

He may want to have a Quake. cuz quake is potat

duble potat is allways beter dan singel potat ))))

Intel potat2quake 3.2 ghz :)))))

dan singel potat

ddks real name

hahaha seems you're even worse than him :DDD

add in some pub clan arena or ffa to give your aim a boost, but keep playing duels for dat timing/tactical skill advancement.

i farted, sorry guys

http://qlranks.com/duel/player/andras

Im confused, how can he possibly beat an 1800 elo guy :o

Could be a Quit. Or a very long time ago when that guy wasn't that good.

Top 5 defeated is actually top 5 players who had connection problems or were bored and quit

hehe. ggs :D

Get QLPrism, that way you can look at the players' Elo before joining the game, and also just go through the server list looking for players that have a low Elo and friend them. :p

you don't need Prism for that.

true. but u cant expect noobs to get all the scripts installed in firefox

If you use irc ask Relativizor for a game, he might be in your ballpark and is a nice guy.
