Quake XBL Community Report bug for players

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:56 am

Hi , we are players from different countries who love quake.

This is why we make a community to improve the game. Actually lot of things need to be improve, because if nothing change the game may be die very fast.
You can check our group http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Quake-XBL-community/172834642751519



General problem : Report


  • Lag : We have lag when tere is lot of people in a game. Some time we lag with people in the same country of us. We lag with people from other country. (but sometimes it is ok :D ).
  • Dedicated Server : Why don't allow people to make a dedicated server, like on counter strike xbox, or UT 3 ? it can improve the game, and reduce the lag.
  • Bug : Bug of the limited number of player in game. We have to do a special action to have more than 2 or 4 players ...
  • Third person bug : When we join game need to go single player or leave the game to solve it.
  • Sounds bug : When we take item (armor quad damage ), or when people do rocket jump, or when people take a jumper.
  • Field of View : The FOV seems to be around 70 ... Really not enough to play quake :confused: .
  • Zoom & Sensitivity : When we zoom , the sensitivity seems to be down to 1 , we can't move to aim !
  • Hud : Hud are not good as quake on computer. We don't have information at the good place, we don't see information very well, it need to be improve. Why don't give different hud like on pc ? And we chose the hud which we want.
  • Statistic : There is just few statistic at the end of games.
  • Respawn : Spawn Are strange, when you host you have always the same spawn, and some spawn are strange, not really random, sometimes we spawn each together. Spawn need to be improved.
  • Well-balanced weapons : Plasma is too strong, and we can't do a plasma climb ... About rail gun it is 100hp here, but in q4max it is 90 hp, and on quakelive i read it was nerfed from 100 to 80hp ..
  • Life information : When you die you can see the life of the player who kill you ... Why we have this information ? We are in quake !
  • Hit-box : It exist some bug about the hit-box, you shot the player but , he doesn't lose life , as if you miss him, but you had hit him ...
  • Maps : Many maps have been changed ... for example : The house of Decay (one armor than 2 on pc ), Vertical Vengeance ( where is the warp ? no yellow armor) , etc... Why change map ? Duel a poor compare to duel on pc's maps ... More over camping ground, in FFA why place Red Armor at the place of the yellow armor ? Near a mega health !! And a quad damage at the place of the mega health ... It is very strange choice. I think it is important to use again original map, because map with less item and different place of weapon or armor are less interessent than pc map and it is sad for all player of QAA ( Quake Arena Arcade ).

  • Maps Again : We have lost lot of Quake 3 Arena map, Quake 3 Team Arena and cpma map (which are good for duel ).
  • Longest day : About map, on longest day we can shoot with a rocket under the floor ! it is a classical shot, and here it doesn't exist ! :( And there is lot of map where we can't go on some place.
  • Stuck : Some people when they move with strafe jump and hit a wall, they stay stuck to the wall.
  • FPS : Some good player think we have not enough Frame Per Second to do some jump.
  • Warm up : No warm up before starting the game. Fundamental in quake, and very usefull.
  • Beginning of game : When we spawn and we have host we spawn before the other gamer and time start to count down ... This is very bad for competition. And why not start the game with a spawn at the same time for everybody like on pc game ?

  • Custom controller : Custom configuration is not active when starting game. We have to go to the menu to active it, at the begining of the game.
  • Random kick : This bug appear when you join a multiplayer game.
  • Searching screen : Bug of unlimited searching.
  • Team Death Match : Some time everybody is in the same team, and when a people join the game, he still going in the team with other people. Result 8 people ( or more ) in the same team ... for nothing. We have to end the game and creat a new.
  • Freeze : Random Freeze while loading match screen, while checking matchlist, while checking leaderboards.
  • Campaign bug : Mission which are achieve are not achieve at the end of the game. So we have to do again the game. + Bug with scoreboard (nothing appear + stuck in the game ).
  • Countdown bug : After all player started to play, we stay stuck few second ( so other player can shoot us ).
  • Party chat bug : We can be kicked out of a party chat when we are playing QAA.
  • Change Team : We can't change team during a game, it is very bad when people leave. At the lobby if the game is full we can't change team except if one of us leave the game and come back after.
  • Auto-balanced Team : We can't play 3 versus 1, 6 versus 2 , or things like that .... We can't play 1 versus X bot. Why ? We the auto-balance is just not an option in the game ?
  • Auto change Team : When people leave or join the game, sometimes the game change people from blue team to the red team ( or red to blue ). We don't understand why this thing exist =/ . It doesn't let us play with our friend in the same team or with our e-sport team :( .

  • Taunt : No Taunt ?! this is a fundamental thing in quake !
  • Drop : NO DROP ! No Weapon Dop, No Flag Drop ! it is amazing , the result is CTF game are not good as pc... Drop Was an important thing.
  • Duel : NO DUEL MOD , quake is for duel, the game exist for duel. We i watch a competition of quake, it is in duel mod. When i ask why people love quake this is in first for duel ! I can't believe which we don't have this mod on xbox ... It is fundamental to have it.
  • Spectator : NO SPECTATOR MOD ! how is it possible to forget this in quake ? More over it with this mod people can host, spec, but don't play, it is good for competition, and just for community , people can watch each player, and it creat a curiosity for beginner who want to learn quake. Again it is a fundamental thing.
  • Intagib : We have no instagib mod ! fundamental.
  • Clan Arena : We have no Clan Arena mod ! Of course a very popular and fundamental mod.
  • Freeze Tag : We have no Freeze tag mod, fundamental too.
  • Team Overlay : Team overlay is a basic thing for CTF or TDM, Team INSTAGIB, etc... Why does it not exist in QAA ?
  • Settings : Why don't allow us to make weapon on each button which we want ? If some action are not used it is not a problem for people playing, TDM or duel and it improve the quality of the game. For mod which need more action, why don't use a system like unreal tournament 3 ( on tuch let people to select all weapon with the joystick )? Without cancel the next/ previous weapon. It give to players more custom setting !

  • Mouse/ keyboard : Lot of player want a keyboard / mouse. I think the problem is coming from the xbox not from you, but if you can do something many player will be happy.
  • Caracteres models : We have lost many of them in QAA.
  • Machlist information : Why don't we have the name of the hoster ? Or information like that ? When we search in custom game why we can't already chose the mod which we are searching for ?
  • Practice : It is impossible to creat a server online/ offline where we are alone, in order to practice (to move for example ).
  • Circle jump / Strafe jump : For me, circle jump and strafe jump has been changed. They are more simple like on pc , but to do a circle jump as long as on computer it is different, it is not really the same movement. It is the same, but i mean it is not the same timing. So it is not pleasant to make them compar when i play with my xbox 360 controller on q4max (pc). For strafe jump it is the same, i saw people who move just very fiew them look , and they get speed at each jump ! On pc they just failed at the first strafe jump training.
    So i don't really understand the game at this point. And i'm not the only player. Some of other good player who did xbox 360 controller on pc are agree with me. When xbox quaker will try on pc they will realise this strange things too.

  • Lobby : Game lobby should be improve, the quality of it is medium, and the ping system is not good, each people see a different thing. Then the best thing is to see the ping like on pc with a number. Is it possible to do something ?
  • Remap : Why can't we remap FIREWEAPON and ITEM on map ? Because for example no LG on camping ground is an horror ! Or if we want to do a 1v1 , MegaHealth will be at the place of the Quad. But if a duel mod appear with good rules and good map like on pc this problem will be solved !
  • Custom Multiplayer : Why can't we choose our enemy model with our ennmy color ? i mean except for the same model which we have ? Because it is a fundamental thing on quake nowaday to can chose that things. Why can't we change the color of the crosshair ? fundamental option too. Why can't chose time down or time up for game? (i mean that : 4.58min, 4.57min, 4.56min, etc.... Or 4.57min , 4.58min, 4.59min, etc... ).

  • equality : When we have an egality , and the times arrive to 0, the game stop ! Why don't we have 2 more minutes at each equality (i mean, if there is equality = +2min, if there is a second equality +2min ,etc ... ) like on pc ( for duel for example ) ?
  • lightning gun : Why it doesn't follow the crosshair ? It is horrible to have a good aim with it because, it is horrible to see it behing or ennemy, but we tuch our ennemy, just the LG animation is not good.
  • Graphics effects : Why we can't choose our graphic effect like on pc ? i mean thin or thinner LG, smoke for rocket, etc ... it is very important because when we are shooting an ennemy it is horrible to can't see him well because of weapons effects.
  • No linear aim : not really cool for people who want to get a good aim ... With a gamepad when can play as well as a mouse just check some video like this : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5wk2n_un1k-quake-4-pc-pad360_videogames ,http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ptwe_un1k-q4pc-pad-xbox360_videogames (i think people from our group have already see videos). The dreamcast aim was better. So please improve the aim of this game it is very important ! It is fundamental.


Edit :
  • Setteings : No possibility to use simple item ?
  • Sensitivity : the acceleration is to early and the maximum of sensitivity is to slow.
  • Hit : When you are hit the camera and the crosshair move, why wecan't disable it ?
  • Rocket : When you rocket a player he doesn't fly like on computer, he stays stuck to the ground ,except sometimes. More over rocket are slower than on pc.
  • Splitscreen : It can be cool for people who discover quake, and it change nothing for serious gamer. The 4 on xbox, was with the same setting, one player by consol, it was not bad. Bud maybe not cool for people who want to discover the game with them friends.
  • When hit : When you are hit , your crosshair move, you have blood on the screen. Why don't make this effect in option ? i mean, the crosshair which mve when you are hit , it is so horrible.


Thank you very much for reading this report.
We hope it will help you to improve the game. Quake can be so popular on xbox so please don't let him die. Quake is the Best FPS.
Thank you.

I doubt it they have there share of the profit why should they care ?

even if it is fixed i fear that the online comunity will be dead anyway so a patch is worth as much as the broken game i payed for that i have only been able to play online once in 2 weeks its a joke

the community won't die because we are doing everything to make it alive =) , and they have to hear what we are saying because we are each day more and more, and we are a community of player for competition ( but beginner joins us too, even if they won't do competition ).

And if a community never exist, what is the goal to make game which we can't use ? hum hum ...


More over : We don't have a record mod when we are palying.

Still no answer to our communitie′s extensive bug/miss report!
Probably Bethesda′s breath got stuck in view of our big report, and what PII Studios simply MISSED/FAILED and even those who don′t know nothing about this game understand that you failed quite a bit and missed a lot out in comparison to ANY Quake version released ever before!!!

Still no answer to our communitie′s extensive bug/miss report!

Probably Bethesda′s breath got stuck in view of our big report, and what PII Studios simply MISSED/FAILED and even those who don′t know nothing about this game understand that you failed quite a bit and missed a lot out in comparison to ANY Quake version released ever before!!!

How could PII Studios simply ignore the decades of experience the Quake developers already had by releasing a WHOLE LOT of patches,fixes,updates and making this game to of the finest multiplayer shooters ever? Did these guys even played a game or even a game like Quakeworld/Q3A/Q4Max/Quake Live before???
How could they violate this glorious Masterpiece of Gaming History, called Quake, to a crippled piece of Multiplayer shooter which is missing half of its original features and content?! A game like Quake doesn′t deserve this! Did those guys even had an idea of what quake is and about how its played? Is it even possible to miss that if your eyes are working properly? (Which i assume as programmers etc. usually work with PC′s and Graphicdisplay ;)

Seriously i recommend you Bethesda and any other developer/publisher to NEVEREVER work with PII Studios again!

I mean its not like this is the first gaming legend PII Studios ruined by their foolish behavior and obviously restricted abilities depending Multiplayershooters! Want Evidence? Look at Wolfenstein! They messed up pretty much everything, from graphics, choppy framerate, bad models, bad netcode, some stupid maps( some were not bad) close to no features! but i think back then you could switch teams at least which is close to impossible in QAA^^
Anyway in comparison to it the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein which was released back in 2003 on Xbox 1 was waaaay superior.

Converting good old games to crappy new ones is a pain in the ass, heart and anywhere else for us gamers.
Think about it and answer.

And read the bug/missing feature report on page 1, as we already discussed it, gamers who know how the game actually should work ;) !!

edit: sorry for double post but i got logged out of your site^^

+10000000000 it's amazing which developer do that for this game .... it show us how people are serious nowaday, they creat a game and think it's finish ...
QAA is not a quake if it is not improve, it's juste a quakelike .... it is really sad to have nothing for the community , to don't answer us.
Maybe since 2007 video game is dead, and perfect game like quake are in bad view.
It is sad for futur of video game.

HAHA look at this i just found on the PI Studios site, link:http://www.pistudios.com/?id=243

here a little quote:

......
Our valued partners continue to utilize Pi as a resource because of our professional (LOOOOL) and upfront approach (so you tell em you svck right upfront??)—we don't hide our production cycles from our partners.
( SO gamesas MUST HAVE KNOWN if this is TRUE!! LOL )

We share what we do (what do you guys do???), how we do it (crappy!!) and when it will be done.
It is this philosophy that has allowed us to work with the largest video game publishers in the world.
(Or your fake-ass attitude took any publisher on a ride in PI Studios Wonderland where any good game gets crap?!!!)

Pi's Development Approach Involves:

* A focus on realistic task-based planning (Faaaaaaail!!)
* A "Raise your Hand" methodology to problem solving (I RAISE MINE! OVER HERE! LOOOK!!!)
* Production track transparency—everyone gets line of sight to project production
