Exactly, how anyone who has subscribed feels about this latest update. Furthermore, what noone has mentioned as of yet, is the impact 5 new gamemodes will have on the PREMIUM PLAYERBASE. That's right, i said premium playerbase. What? did you think that small group of players can't be segregated as well? Well, think again and watch as these 5 gamemodes split the remainder of idiots who paid for this sorry game.
Also lol at the idiots in that thread that think 60$ is cheap. They are forgetting the fact that, 3 years from now they'll have paid 300$ (if id doesn't raise rates any, which is bound to happen). In that same time period, everyone else will have bought 6-10 games (one time payment for lifetime ownership). rofl.
i pay to get rid of the ads.
end of story.
gamemodes have NOTHING to do with me wanting to subscribe more or less. you will be hard pressed to find people who play more than 2 gamemodes and many play one exclusively. and to name them these are FFA, duel and CA. rest are pretty much dead. sure, give me more gamemodes why not, but did this did not in any way make me consider QL in a different light;
issues with the game are still unresolved and subscribers want those to be addressed first. gamemodes are a silly addition that do little to help this game prosper.
re: your post (why you put it all in quotes idk)
lifetime pass: QL isnt gonna last more than a couple years; pay twice and that's a lifetime pass.
hard to get games: people just don't play this game. it's hardly *fun* and whatever means of easing noobs into it we have proposed have not even been taken into consideration. if i hadn't been unemployed when QL came out, i would most certainly not stuck with it through the shame that is the skillmatching long enough to learn to smile at it and say meh.
dom: it's just CA.
skullthingie: it's just ctf.
if you jump like CA, have all weapons like CA, and play in teams like CA, then it's not a new gamemode, it's CA.
floor friction: i'm pretty sure this is going to be a load of hurt when people notice.
the UI still sux. there's still bugs. the netcode still has weird gremlins running through it. we can't kick people. we can't ban people. we can't even swear ofn the forums (not even if it's a joke - so i learned).
there is ZERO serious promotion of this game. it's not even on Steam, lo, not even on download.com and yes it runs on Mac (sort of). there is no map rotation, people still start from T3, there is no T5, there are a million things wrong with this game regardless of whether you like FFA 8 or if you like FFA 16 - the problem is not what we want and don't get, the problem is that there are a bunch of people somewhere in a room that look at QuakeLive and say "hmm yes, this is just perfect. this is exactly how we planned this game to be, too bad people don't like it enough" and those people work for id.
