new maps noone want to play... yay

It was 1st april joke!

try again next month

Cancelled, due to overly negative response from QL community.

are u are supprised much ? only consern inhouse player

this is great news for the QL community, they finally get what they're clamoring for. with better luck 'id' will shut down QuakeLive entirely, and no one will have the ability to make the terrible choice of playing it.

that might sound stupid at first glance, but Todd blamed the community for QL's failure.

Thanks for your perspective, QuakeLive community. I didn't even know QL 'failed'.
What he really said:
"The in-game advertising model hasn't delivered as promised", "The game is an entertainment success, so now we have to figure out how to make the business model work."

Lack of success = failure? I'd consider not reaching it's full potential a failure, but that's me having a subjective opinion. Direct comparison to QL's contemporaries and how well they are doing shows that QL didn't fail, but could have done much better. I'd think that's the general consensus among the vocal userbase.

I'd really love to see what people who don't care about the meta bullshit think about QL (like the SC2 crowd not long ago that seemed generally very positive about QL).

so who would you blame?

id? no, just kidding, blame the few people who play it, not the people responsible for advertisement/game development, duh

ofc course not the devs, you people always go around and want things to get implemented, and just whine whine whine, when you are free to leave, id puts his little soul out for what, you dogs,and you just yell at her all the time! I remember this:D this was the hit of first 2 years of ql fanboyism

you and i are quite the satirical duo,...:p

looks like it!

Link?

They blamed the community for Doom 3, too.

hear hear

I wouldn't care if canceled or if they never updated again

it's not whine, it's the truth. I never cared for new maps anyway and they never listen to what we want, at least not here. They might listen to some requests from the ql forums, but we all know they are full of donks.

They don't listen to the QL forums either, so don't worry.

you won't hear about it as they're re-release QuakeLive for XBOX, and all the updates will only show up in the XBOX web browser

not to sound like raytheshit but the actual problem is syncerror

guy just doesn't know wtf hes doing

hi ray

The following servers have gone down recently:

Palo Alto
Argentina
Kiev
Japan
San Francisco
Chile
Adelaide

No word on them at all. More concerned about this than the update.

lol buttfucked south america?

And asia has been buttfucked since the start.

This is good example of how you, bad ungrateful community, is the reason of ql's failure. If id software shuts down servers and releases new maps, then you must appreciate new content (even if there are no players on premium servers, you can still adore the architecture in pratice mode, and even have some fun with bots) and love the simplification and streamlining of game browser which cuts down the unnecessary choice and cluttering with servers from irrelevant locations.
And what you do instead? Just whine and whine, and then wonder why QL isn't a success.

Chilean and Argentine server should be online in the next weeks

What?!

RIP

Here's some info (thanks Lam):

09:09.26 <noobeh> sponge, are you there?
09:09.47 <noobeh> If so, what has happened with the San Fran and Palo Alto servers?
09:09.52 <noobeh> Are they gone for good?
09:11.23 <sponge> yes, those 2 locations will likely not be returning
09:12.25 <noobeh> So is this marking the beginning of the end?
09:13.13 <sponge> no, not really, it didn't make much sense to have 3 locations on the west coast
09:17.49 <Drayan> are japan, adelaide and buenos aires gone for good too?
09:18.28 <sponge> no on all 3
09:18.54 <sponge> the server host decided to stop offering ql services in japan, adelaide had a hw failure, and argentina had a datacenter move and are having trouble getting it online

..and an actual post:

Sponge: Argentina is back online. It appears the community member hosting in Chile has decided to no longer offer their services, so we do not know when there will be a location in that area again.

Adelaide is back up :)

RIP

The shutdown of japanese servers shocked me; there goes a chance to socialize with japanese people (who are quakers in addition). : (

It's soooooooo expensive for them to keep a server running. If i remember correctly I paid like 15 dollars a month maybe for a CS 1.6 server or two back in the day. Cheap fucks

Oh no, useless shit no one wanted won't be added? Oh the humanity.

Go back to your Perth servers :<

Haha yeah I was just thinking, they're never going to add Adelaide servers back are they. :(

its a pretty "good" update tbh, u can modify everything in the serv u spawn even make it like devpick etc

I can now make devpick servers?

Oh jolly good! This sure will attract hundreds if not thousands of players from all around the world to play premium shit no one* has access to.


*except for the 200 subscribers

what i meant with that was that u can modify everything from rocket acceleration to physics

I can now modify everything from rocket acceleration to physics ?

Oh jolly good! This sure will attract hundreds if not thousands of players from all around the world to play premium shit no one* has access to.


*except for the 200 subscribers

More like 20 000 :).

Which makes me wonder how much premium / pro accounts there actually are.

I'm still bitter because they introduced gametypes with fairly small audience and decided to limit it with premium.

Now they're introducing new gametypes that no matter how good or bad they are, just won't have the chance to "prove" themselves.

This along with the fact that there are far more important things that the community has been requesting for years makes me bitter even before the update is released.

However, I applaud the fact that the game is still being actively (arguable) developed.

short-term/quick profits over a longer-term approach that would eventually yield many more profits, is very illogical, but thats not the mindset of american companies, with quarterly earnings having to please bosses/shareholders..

You're the only drug reliant who believes in aliens that I trust and approve of.

high praise from a tall brute/semi-intellectual like yourself :D

cool update

just go back to q3 ffs

No.

faggot

<3

#cpmpickup naooo!

:)

:)

We tried for some days as QL was offline in our region, but QL netcode/player reg is sooooo smooth compared to Q3, its hard to go back, very very hard...

1.49 is coming out soon, I think it will be better and personally I think it already is

Will be happy to try it.

..and it has changes to the netcode?

it has changes to yo mamma's phat ass

Oh snap. Shit just got real.

start a ql server then

when is the update?

TBA

CBA

TBH

CBF

IKR

.

.

in your opinion

.

WTF?

IMO

<WMO

>ALL

<3

:3

17 minutes

Maybe if the little Shits didn't play too much Clan Arena all this time or plays Bullshit games like League of Faggots or Call of Duty so much. No wait we have to blame Id for ruining this game :P seriously fix the TX Servers ffs, I don't care who it was but im blaming the Assholes who refuse to play this game over stupid reasons like "Oh.... This game is hard!, CoD or LoL is so much easier. " and more reasons like Stupid Starcraft Koreans!

At the end of the rainbow.

Why is everyone so negative?

Fool me once, shame on you
Fo...



dunno, if they released a map editor in the past, imagine the outrage of the community when each update would be a few cvars only.

this was a good one :)

Welcome to the quake community.
Now go away you goody two-shoes :(

Because update threads were getting buried without raythenoob so we all had to pitch in to pick up the slack.

..........make freezetag free..................

Should have been free since day fucking one.

FREEzetag.
