Quake Live Duelling

by Ethr • 10 Feb 2011, 23:50 • Journals
Hello,

Is there an IRC channel, website or similar in which I can easily find duel opponents of my skill level without waiting on a server for ages and taking my chances with whoever comes along?

thanks

<3 ethr

If there's on map, I guess house of decay :D
Still alot though, but I guess you were very new to the game at that point and played a very good player ^^

It's the same for me, that's why I only play with my friends: at least I am winning 50-0 x}

you know when i've already started playing promode back in days before et some guy gave me the best advice i've ever heard - L2P :D

tbh after all those years i can tell you it works <o/

Ethr 11 Feb 2011, 10:08
yeh but its kinda hard to L2P when you're playing against guys 100x better than you :p but yeh i'm trying to do this too

thats why quake has tiers
u should be on 1 or 2 atm, so no problem with skillmatch i think

before playing i watched a lot of vods/streams, so i recommend you to do the same

still, when I play same tier ppl I usually end up playing guys who have been playing quake for like 10 years. Not that fun if you are still learning. I only play a few guys I know that are roughly the same skill as me, but that won't make u an active player :p

And he downloaded cheats, just to use them.

I don't recommend you do the same.

pointless to play against guys who are good only at one map.

Sweden fooKi once had a little project goin'.
It would generate little duel cups the same way pickups are generated. You could find duel opponents in there aswell ofcourse! Not sure if it's still alive tho.
If you find him on quakenet whois him and you should be able to find smth similar to '#1v1.ql'

e: appearantly that project has been dropped :/ too bad really
You could try #qlpickup.eu and other pickup channels =)

yeh it probably wouldn't be too hard to make a project that IF you could have access to quakelive stats of matches/players AND could control/launch servers although you would have to define somehow how skilled a player was...

I believe he also wanted to save stats and create somewhat of a skill-rating-system himself, based on how these duels went. Something like that at least ^^
