Skill-Matching and Tier Movement

[Anrilefe]

I haven't played "Duel" nor "Freeze Tag". This mean I'm in probation period?

I really appreciate the long effort and hours of work put in Quake Live skillmatch system and I will take that into account when considering future purchases from id Software & Bethesda/Zenimax.

I honestly said u need more tiers. I have account with around 100 games of Clan Arena, i found it too easy and moved to Duel, because it seems much more competitive and exciting. I tried to duel with that account but I got rolled by players and ended up with 0-10+ stats. I thought ill create new account and get to duel with players of my own skill. I was wrong, I've played 11 duels total now, the 4 I have won, I have won with score +10-0, and those which I have lost, I've lost with 0-15+ stats. And no, this is because I can't aim or such problem, I've played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory competitive for around 4-5 years.

I'm not whining or anything like that, but I can't possibly enjoy a game if I roll an enemy totally, or I get rolled totally.

Sincerely, Hawoi

Hi Hawoi. It's nothing official, but you can use http://www.qlranks.com/ for duel.

Well that is the state of QL. We are left with the majority of players that want to dominate the enemy 8-0 every game. It's so boring but that's what we have. Well I'll say it is much, much more in NA than anywhere else.

I did it. One match on tier 3, the second match on tier 4, and so the cycle. But games (t3 vs t4) are very different and I decided it was bad. My results and accuracy greatly decreased. Even for tier 3. It's strange but true.

My first post is not to discuss - this request to the developers. I have a premium account and forced to make new non-premium accounts. I do not like it.

You paid so do whatever you have to do to enjoy the game. Not everybody can (no coordination) or you may not want to invest the time to become T4. If you have more important thinks like kids, job, wife, exercise and just want to take a quick break from your day and enjoy a fun FPS then set it up however you can.
Hopefully they come to their senses and accommodate this T3 type player before they are forced to pull the plug. Don't hold your breath if history is any indicator.

I'm also right on the edge of tiers 3 and 4, and keep getting booted back and forth between the two - but I've noticed I tend to stay longer in tier 4 recently, so perhaps I'm learning something The difference is massive, but the trouble is that no matter how many tiers you have, there's nowhere to go once you reach the top one - it'll always contain the people who were just about good enough to reach the top, along with the few killer cyborgs from the future.

This is better. Now frustrated tier 4 players who can't hack it and want to play easy games against noobs have to spend ages playing badly just to get onto a low tier, rather than just let Crash beat them senseless and then play one or two poor games. They still do it, though.
