I enjoyed the closed beta, but now that it went open I am number 11k in line to be let in due to the server being full. Suddenly it is less exciting!

mmm, meddling training mode. So unhappy. Screw that. I rarely played it anyway, i just got bored of it. I just wish though, that it didn't need some excrement to be installed on the computer, so it would be playable at school and other places, otherwise to me its just like carrying it around on a USB key.

Their server overload is a bunch of bull.

They put all the stupid crap on the page like "YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR HOURS TO PLAY - ISNT TECHNOLOGY GREAT."

Give me a break...get a better server you morons. Or at least split the download/play server up.

I still got the error with firefox, but a download of the proper files and a browser restart seemed to fix it.

You need to download the plugin for the web browser. Kinda merry cos it doesn't make it completely playable everywhere.

And after you get through the queue, it has to download even more files (maps, textures) etc.

rofl, theres queues now? Thats intercoursed up. Goodbye Quake Live. In my opinion, Quake 3 is just as good as it, but it has single player as well.

S8NSSON · « **Reply #111 on:** February 27, 2009, 10:02:35 PM »

Ahhh the queue is getting shorter.
I just won like 4 or 5 rounds of FFA in a row.

MAN Q3 feels good!!!

...and there IS single player.

Someone doesn't understand the concept of a beta. Seriously, they've gone from a couple thousand players to probably well over a million in a day, and you're upset enough to drop the game because they're using some less-than-userfriendly load balancing techniques? QQ

I finally got through, and got Expert

in that training mode thing. Then got 15-14 to Smash, from 9-14 down.

btw you can filter what servers you want to see, at the top you click 'customize'.

you can filter the list of servers to only show servers which:

-have your friends in it
-have a certain game type (ctf, ffa, tdm, duel)
-are in a certain location (if you pick in your vicinity, then yes it will only show aussie)
-are on a specific map/arena
-are a specific difficulty
