Quake Live Open Beta Starts today!

[stuck]

do you have to keep your browser open in order to stay in the queue? At least there is plenty of interest!

[madman045]

just had a quick go, works really well, just need a bigger screen as it doesnt fit on my laptop display completely

[Destroyer^]

I played the 10 min tutorial thing and liked it, graphics are pretty slick to be honest

[slugs]

did the 10 minute intro yesterday. then went back to work. was getting some strange looks around the office. i don't normally stay quiet for that long

[Apex]

Up and running now, very very slick

if any one fancies having a blast had Aph3x to your friends list

[tigerboyce]

20605 in line...


gah

[Cornholio]

I didnt realise everytime u cross it off you have to wait in line again ! ARGH !

[Mblaster]

Played the 10 min tutorial thing twice now and it hasn't registered as being done either time I think I saw a note saying if you're having problems with it to look on their forums, so I'll do hat when I've got some more time...

[Cornholio]

And it wont connect to any servers ?

[samcross]

Just did the tutorial and larving it
Websites taking ages to load up again though now, and I wants more Quake

[samcross]

This is starting to peeve me off now
I keep on trying to load the site, I patiently wait in the queue, but when I get in it just goes to a blank white screen with the loading bar in the top right hand corner.
Any ideas?

[samcross]

Feck.
Know what it is now (I think)
My firewall is blocking it, and Norton firewall is a right pain when you're trying to manually make rules.

I am tempted to sign up for this, but judging from all the talk of waiting in a queue for a billion years, I think I'll wait for a bit.

Apart from the long queues, what do people think of the game so far?

[Andeh13]

500th in queue, gotta love their attitude though;

''Here we are all dressed up and nowhere to go. Don't worry, to make sure everyone can enjoy the game we have activated our super secret Queue system, which keeps the server from being overloaded and affecting the website. Your turn is coming right up, so hang on and keep an eye on that number. In the meantime, you can watch the Tour, follow us on Twitter, or join the rabble on irc (channel #quakelive on irc.quakenet.org).

You will automatically move on to the site when it's your turn. Technology is so cool. ''

[Tr0gdor]

The game is cool, just like quake 3 but the que is a massive flaw, when its busy it can take ages to just log in.

Mornings are best - no queues at all for me over the weekend before America woke up. I'm not sure how well the skill matching worked though - I got pwnt on several severs all claiming to be my level.
