So... maybe this should be merged into the "XBOX/PS3/Etc." friends thread?

Perhaps that thread should be like, the "Friends thread", instead of just for certain things. Stuff like WoW, QL, etc.

I'd keep it separate because the other friends list screams "consoles" and Quake Live is very much the talisman for PC FPS gaming.

You mean like Steam friends? That positively screams consoles.

The game does indeed rule. So much so that I've not played FF in about two weeks and I don't really have much desire to do so either :/

Currently pulling 45% accuracy on the railgun on a total of about 2500 shots accross all gametypes. Mostly playing CTF and FFA although CTF seems to be what I enjoy the most at the moment.

Loving the awards system to, although I hope they add more

HUGE QuakeLive update today! Too bad it's only for subscribers... for fuck's sake...

Anyway, here's what's up:

==============================

QUAKE LIVE's biggest update yet, Premium Pak 12, will shortly be online. This update brings five new gametypes for our Pro Start-a-Match players, led by a first for QUAKE, the command point teamplay of Domination. This is accompanied by a brand new Start a Match interface, built from the ground up to offer players the most in-depth match customization options out of any other shooter out there. With over 200 customization settings, our Pro players can get down to individual weapon tweaks. Rounding out this package are four new arenas including the popular Camper Crossings, and two arenas from the Xbox 360 version, Quake Arena Arcade.

New Gametypes
Domination
A first for the QUAKE series, Domination is a team-based gamemode centered around a series of command points which your team must attack and hold to score points. Similar to Clan Arena, players spawn with all weapons, and all pickups have been removed from the level. Regenerating health and armor has been enabled to allow players a chance to return to full strength after combat.
Attack & Defend
This Capture the Flag variant features teams alternating between offensive and defensive roles, with one life to live, and all weapons. Teams can score points by grabbing the flag from the base, capturing the flag, or killing the enemy team. Be careful, though, if you kill the team before anyone touches the flag, you'll lose out on an extra point. Play as a team, assault the enemy base, and maneuver your way out with flag in hand.
Red Rover
A mix between team-based games and Free For All, players compete against each other. When you frag someone, they switch to your team and respawn. These teammates make loose allies, however, since they will still be eager to frag steal and bump you off of ledges whenever possible. The round ends when all players are on the same team. The player with the highest score at the end of 10 rounds of play is the winner!
1-Flag CTF
A neutral flag spawns in the middle of the arena, and teams fight to run it into the enemy base. To spice things up a bit, players have the ability to throw the flag over the heads of enemies and to teammates to help move it further ahead. We've also embedded a small microchip inside the flag, which allows the flag to activate jump pads and teleporters, which is sure to make playing on Space CTF an interesting experience.
Harvester
Two teams face off, and each frag spawns a skull in the middle of the arena. Players must then collect those skulls and bring them into the enemy base, without losing their own head. The ability to destroy your own team's skulls by picking them up allows players to deny the enemy the rewards of a hard earned frag. Make sure to go target whoever is running around the arena with a long tail of skulls!

Start a Match 2.0
Start a Match has been rewritten from scratch to support over 200 configurable server options, including:
Customizable Weapons: Disable spawning, adjust damage, reload times, railjumping, and more for every weapon.
Customizable Physics: Air Control, Air Accel, Ramp Jumping, Ground Accel, Ground Friction, and more.
Gametype modifiers: Quad Hog, Drop Damaged Health, Vampiric Damage, Regenative Health, Infinite Ammo, Weapon Switch Speed, Weapon Stay, Allow Self-Kills, Spawn Protection, and more.
The new interface also features the ability to import and export your favorite settings to share on websites, forums, and with friends.

Premium Arenas Added
Similar to our last update, the three new arenas will be available FREE for all players, for the first week, after which they will return to Premium status. Everyone is invited to hop on and check out the new content!
Camper Crossings (CTF/A&D/1-Flag/Harvester/Domination):
Inspired by perennial favorite Campgrounds, Camper Crossings is a three-storied CTF level created by Dan "Scancode" Gold. The middle ground features the iconic jump pad taking you from bottom to top in an instant. Once you move into the bases things start to look a little less familiar, with three hallways to bring you into the flag room. Attackers will find themselves either dropping down or jumping up to reach the flag, with a hallway behind the stand that can be taken advantage of by both teams. An acceleration pad in the base allows attackers to fly across the flag room, or to be used as clay pigeons and be railed out of the air.
Cliffside (FFA/Domination):
First seen in Quake Arena Arcade, Cliffside takes place on a mountaintop above the clouds. Combining Gothic themes with the open areas seen in maps like Longest Yard, Cliffside is definitely one of the most gorgeous maps in QUAKE LIVE to date. A castle featuring a smattering of rooms faces an island that holds the Railgun. Keep an eye out when indoors for the Quad Damage; you'll need to do a slight rocket jump to reach it. The island also features an Invulnerability sphere, which can be deployed most humorously while midair in a jumpad, to send people, including yourself, falling to their death.
Jumpwerkz (CTF/A&D/1-Flag/Harvester/Domination):
Also debuting in QUAKE LIVE from Quake Arena Arcade, Jumpwerkz is a fast CTF arena with an open flag room. The highlight of the arena is the two tunnels in the middle, built into a large concrete structure. These acceleration pads provide a super fast path to propel players onto the top decks of the bases, while a slower, more manual route is available by dropping down and taking the low route. Jumpwerkz is a pretty simple design, leaving a lot of room to maneuver around the space.
Space Camp (FFA/CA):
Included as a bonus, is the April Fool's 2011 arena, Space Camp. This is a version of the popular Campgrounds arena mirrored, and set in space, with a new weapon layout.
Premium Awards Added
Coming soon

Premium Scoreboards Added
In addition to the brand new Clan Arena Premium scoreboard, we've also updated the CTF scoreboards to show kills and deaths. Premium scoreboard support has been added to Domination, Attack & Defend, One Flag CTF, and Harvester

PQL Updates
PQL is now ranked.
Resolved an issue in player movement related code that would result in the game feeling "laggy" and cause weapon switching when callvoting to and from PQL.
Walk Friction lowered from 8 to 7 to improve circle jumping.

Web Updates

Changes & Additions:
Pro players can now invite 5 Standard level users to a Premium match.
Invitations sent to an online player will now appear as a chat IM to the invitee, with a link to join instead of the Invite Monitor.

Hovering over Time Played will distinguish between time spent on Ranked and Unranked matches.
Updated browser to sort populated Start a Match servers and premium matches to the top of the list.

Resolved Issues:

Many inconsistent uses of timezones have been corrected on the Profile pages.
Browser filters are disabled while looking at invited matches.
Corrected Recent Competitors not always showing the most recent match with that player.

Game Guide and FAQ updated with more current information.
Fixed improper usage of "Reticulating Splines" on loading screen.

Game Updates

Changes & Additions:
New Point of Interest (POI) system. This is an enhanced version of the original Team Locators, extended to show gametype objectives, and your team's flag carrier in flag-based game modes. POIs are also more visible when players are at a distance, no longer disappearing or shrinking.
Added 'Flag Style' for premium users to choose between the default cloth flag and the new holographic flag in CTF based gametypes. (CTF, 1FCTF, A&D).
Added handicap displays on the scoreboard on all scoreboards (except Premium Duel).
Added cg_drawRewardsRow.
Changed the ready up behavior at the end of matches such that you can only move from 'not ready' to 'ready' once. You may no longer toggle back and forth. (This was leading to userinfo flooding).
Changed the 'Auto Join Team' behavior such that it will now randomly choose a team if both teams are tied and have the same number of players (instead of always choosing blue).
Changed Clan Arena damage scoring such that overkill damage no longer counts toward total damage dealt or score.
Changed the in-game options menu to reflect the correct default FOV value of 100.
Added "Last Man Standing" voiceover to accompany announcement.
Bonus health will no longer tick down during round countdowns.
Enabled Team Force Balance by default on public matches. This prevents players from switching teams mid-match if the switch would result in a 2 player imbalance.
Small/Large CA and Large CTF servers have been removed. Callvoting teamsize and map on a Premium CA and CTF, in addition to Start a Match settings can be used to create matches of a desired size.

Resolved Issues:
Optimized bandwidth usage by reducing frequency of team count updates. This will improve one of the most commonly seen cases of "Server Command Overflow" errors when clients are not experiencing connection issues.
Under specific conditions, cylinder collisions could be miscalculated. Hitscan hit detection has been greatly improved.
Players disconnected from a server and are sitting at the menu will no longer appear to friends as in-game.
If a match is not able to start, more detailed messages are displayed with the reason.

The "One" voiceover is no longer played twice during the match countdown in non-round based gametypes.
Resolved one condition that caused the "<player> dropped for flooding" error between matches.
The Duel Premium Scoreboard would sometimes appear to change the ready status of the wrong player.
Resolved an issue where third person was incorrectly enabled in online matches.
Players will no longer get stuck on terrain in certain conditions while using Flight.
Bots will no longer improperly use the func_bobbing on Beyond Reality.
dropflag, droppowerup, and dropweapon can no longer be used during a pause or timeout.
The callvote menu was not listing the appropriate map list for FreezeTag.
The callvote map preview shot would be out of date, after selecting a map, closing the menu, and then re-opening the callvote menu.
The UI code would attempting to play ROQ cinematics of maps selected in the callvote menus.
The winning player's weapon model was not being displayed on the scoreboard in InstaGib FFA and InstaGib Duel matches.
Resolved an issue where the player capturing a flag would sometimes hear the capture sound twice if Draw Rewards was enabled.
Resolved an issue that would cause the "Round Begins in" VO to not play during the first round countdown in FreezeTag.
Disabled teleport sound effect and shader effect when players are sitting at the post-game scoreboard.
Renamed the 'Doubler' rune to 'Damage' rune to better reflect the 1.5x damage multiplier.
Removed the bonus starting armor from pre-game warmup. A player will now spawn with the same amount of armor that they will spawn with during the match.
Removed team switch cooldown when changing to specator. Players do not have to wait when switching from spectator to a team.
Resolved an issue that could cause callvote teamsize checks in elimination based gametypes to be wrong if mid-game voting was allowed and a vote was initiated mid-round while some players were eliminated.
Removed deprecated '/team scoreboard' command.
Flags can no longer be grabbed after the timelimit but before the end-game scoreboard appears.
Scores will no longer increment after the timelimit but before the end-game scoreboard appears.
Resolved improper player model orientation and scaling of the winning player on the Duel Premium Scoreboard.

Resolved an issue that caused visual jitters when using cl_timenudge while spectating.
Resolved a shader sort issue that caused blue teleportals to draw on top of other surfaces.

If only more played it, and subscribed in general.

I'm really tempted to subscribe for Pro membership (Domination, while kind of dumb, is really fun), but the lack of an anti-cheat and developer communication with the community is just painful.

More honest communication and/or an anti-cheat and they have my cash.

Well with a finite payment method, eventually their funds for running their servers will run out.

Granted they could just freaking allow dedicated servers or something... but no.

Arena soft never seemed to have a problem doing it with GW. GW had no fees bar purchasing the box. I don't believe they even had any kind of micro transaction shop for the longest time, if they even have one now.

I have a lot of fun playing QL. But honestly, it's an abomination to the franchise in my eyes.

Many (most?) players feel this way, but nothing can really be done about it... it's the current Quake game. Granted, everyone hates id by this point, who was once a beloved company. My, how far they have fallen.

Honestly they could just introduce a one-time fee for Pro membership and allow dedicated servers, have anti-cheat, and the whole thing would explode.
