server browser
why is the server browser so terrible?

it doesnt show match status (if its warmup or started etc.).
it doesnt show who is in spec and who is playing, so teamsize is a bit useless to see.
it doesnt show currect score, so u have no idea when will the game finish.

this is just 3 really important thing, but i could easily write more things why this server browser sucks. really who had the idea to do this ♥♥♥♥?

also just sayin' the game is nearly unplayable above 70 ping, wtf is wrong with this game?

I agree on the first point it was a definte rush job but as for ping dont agree, I often play in germany and ping 90-100 and ok the natives have a slight advantage but I am not hintered that much at all still can pull off rail shots and get most of the frags i want.

Server browser is terrible. Old browser in ql launcher is much much better. I hope that ID can fix it.

You apparently arn't looking well enough. When clicking on a server, it's details are listed in the right pane including Game State, Team Size, Round limit and time limit and then under that a list of all connected bots and players.
Take a few days with something before commenting.

Also I play on ~80ms servers and as long as my local connection is clean I have no problems.
Lag in Quake 3 isn't harmfull to the game play untill 110ms and above and even good players can deal with that

ok there is game state, but it doesnt tell u much (for example u dont know if the game just started or is it going on for 30 mins etc.)

there is team size, but u dont see if the teams are filled, or who is playing in which team.

there is round limit, but u have no idea what is the actual score in the game.

there is time limit but u dont know where is the game in progress.

As i wrote, there are some information given, but most of them are basically useless, u have to connect to the server and check for yourself whats going on.
And also the presentation should be a lot better, its 2016 and u can only see some basic text information, and even those text informations are irrelevant.

Also about ping - I had ~2100 elo on qlranks CA, now having 2500 or so in this new system, and i can feel that above 70 ping Lightninggun especially are so much delayed, i hit 10-15% less with the weapon. Of course good players can adapt to high ping, they chage their playstyle, but it doesnt change the fact that the netcode must be terrible written.
