BUT OMG THERE WILL BE LIKE 15 HOURS QUEUE AND 20 MINUTES OF VIDEOS AFTER EVERY FRAG WHEN PEOPLE DONT PAY!!!!!

don't forget

AND ITS NOT FREE ANYMORE! WHAAAAAAA

i thought QL had like 50~ person player base?

you have to give them a break, it is a beta after all xDDDDDDDDDDD

"theyre supposed to be secret"

thats exactly why. nobody likes big game developers that keep MASSIVE secrets from the community, then make a huge update and expect everyone to be surprised. stuff leaks because people inside obviously disagree with the way the information is treated. its better to talk shit about it before it happens than after because everyone will be prepared.

all the pros/people in focus get to play on the maps anyway. the pros are training on the unreleased QL maps to prepare for Qcon. how is that fair? (kinda unrelated but wtf)

people also tell secrets simply because they can.

that too.

> how is that fair?

life is not fair. learn that.

meh. saw that coming...

hoped to get an honest opinion on that :P

It's not fair, and yet it doesn't matter.

In fact, give all the non-pros access to the maps a month or two early, and the pros access to them 1 week before Qcon, and the pros will still wipe the floor with the competition. That's why they're pros after all.

So no, it's not fair, but it doesn't matter in the end. Still a retarded move though.

its favoritism... who knows; there might be a few new faces better than them, but since the map pool will be somewhat special, and the pros will have a lot more practice on the maps, the new faces wont have much of a chance. its like iD has put money on some of the people winning, and they want them to have all the unfair advantages they can give them so they get some money off them... or something like that

Thats how Sega ruined the dreamcast
lawl
but yea im sure OP is in the focus

i'm not

Well if there's even the slightest chance that our preemptive whines can change their minds, I fully support it.

maybe if it was organized whines with a point that would be one thing but i don't think they listen to something that comes across as a personal gripe just because someoen doesn't prefer something a certain way

piss off

blue > cyan

are you mentally unstable? That's a very bold statement.

cyan > blue

i am

on the internets?

Leaking secretes promotes hype, look at ESR, full on threads about it... I bet i'm not the only one looking forward to the update!

Na, it's killed the hype (at least here, but IMO id have written off ESR as a sensible place to promote). I mean, nobody has even bothered to create a news post announcing that QL is non-beta, there are 20 new maps, and you can now spawn private servers.

Why isn't there a news post stating this, with people seeing the positives?Because the information had leaked out gradually, rather than a big-bang "good with the bad" approach, so nobody considers this "major news" to the community.

I wondered this, but i guess everyone's playing :)

You can make a news post, you know.

Yea, but there's kinda no point because it's not news - because it has been drip-fed in leaks. Hence the point above...

Saying that it isn't news because nobody posted it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There is no Santa Claus ...

HEY LOOK AT ME IM ON THE INTERNET AND IM GOING TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE INTERNET AND FEEL SOME TYPE OF ENTITLEMENT TO SHIT THAT I REALLY DONT HAVE FUCK REALITY IM ENTITLED TO SHIT. IF IT AINT MY WAY CUZ IM EMO THEN FUCK U I WIL LSTAB MYSELF IN THE FACE.

At first I thought it had something to do with their spitting habit, but I dunno

The Last Decalogue
Arthur Hugh Clough

Thou shalt have one God only;—who
Would be at the expense of two?
No graven images may be
Worshipped, except the currency:
Swear not at all; for, for thy curse
Thine enemy is none the worse:
At church on Sunday to attend
Will serve to keep the world thy friend:
Honour thy parents; that is, all
From whom advancement may befall:
Thou shalt not kill; but need’st not strive
Officiously to keep alive:
Do not adultery commit;
Advantage rarely comes of it:
Thou shalt not steal; an empty feat,
When ’tis so lucrative to cheat:
Bear not false witness; let the lie
Have time on its own wings to fly:
Thou shalt not covet, but tradition
Approves all forms of competition.

U MAD BRO?
