Am I playing against bots?

[Dragon King]

I played Team Deathmatch, the enemy team was totally superior and my team was massacred. After the game, several players wrote "gg" (which probably means "good game"), that was the only comment. So I'm wondering if these human players were actually bots, because 1. they all wrote the same and 2. their comment doesn't make sense as it was no good game at all.

Not surprised JP. I also don't like it when people on my team do the stomping then BG at the end. Though in the grand scheme of things, who cares? As long as its not out of order hateful stuff, say what you like. I normally just lol at people flexing their epeen.

Flexing?? No. Just these snowflake gamers nowdays need to be told that they suck and should go practice against bots before going into a lobby with the big boys.

I am actually feeling good with the railgun I am using.

Last games I played were good, alot of good players. I'm just trying to get my 20 kills while the top players battle it out for 50.

Someone shows up and does a speed run to 50. Didn't get a "gg" there. Person typed, "are you guys even trying"

It didn't bother me, someone like that doesn't show up back to back games, I wonder why

Most of the people who play are actually really cool. Way cooler than a lot of what I experienced with multiplayer in general. I only had one bad experience with other players in this game occurred a couple of weeks ago, where someone was complaining about paying high income taxes while having a take home pay of about 400k. Probably full of ♥♥♥♥, but he wouldn't shut up about it.

Don't worry, "itz only smellz" is just the usual cheater with its new profile.

No those sound just like quake players. The bots are complete ass at this game. And they don't say gg. Thats just an old gamer thing. They are polite. You see the same in games like Starcraft. Everyone says gg. Being a ♥♥♥♥ in chat is a new generation thing.

It most certainly is not.

Getting older does not automatically make you, mentally or an emotionally, an adult.

I think "bg" can also be misinterpreted...clearly there are some players like JP who seem proud of their "bad sportsmanship" (which is their prerogative...) but I think others sometimes use it to sympathise with their opponents...in 8-0 CTF games I've seen some players on the winning side use "bg" to mean it was a bad game because it was "bad balance" which isn't being disrespectful in itself...ofc if it's backed up with "ez" "noob team" and "uninstall you loser" etc. etc. well yer, clearly your opponents are demonstrating they have no respect for you. In some cases that may come from a "hardcore attitude" (which is their prerogative to have), in others it may come from a liking for "trash talk" (although in my experience most that dish it out can't take it...and will quit a game that isn't going their way rather than suffer a defeat themselves) and in other cases it's just showing themselves up for who they really are...fragile egos that need to feel big about themselves by trying to diminish others...essentially children that never grew up...maybe they were bullied at school and now see quake as a mechanic to "return the favour".

^^^ yeah, agree with that.

We're never going to have deep and meaningful conversations in QC with random players. Perhaps not a bad thing sometimes lol

I always leave team games when im at 40 frags and my team mates cant even reach 10 each. These people just dont deserve to be carried. Ofc before leaving, i make sure to let them know how bad they are.

Other than that, almost every game is a bg for me, because QC is just a trash game.

So that covers the leaving matches, the "bg" and remaining only is the "ez" which i say when the match was an wasy stomp because im not a liar.

In my memories the losing party gratulated to the winning one. Which is not 100% the same what is discussed here.

Just because some people don't like to use superficial empty phrases doesn't mean they are autistic.
