Play to win...
24. July 2006 - 1:57
i've been having a bad spell in q3 the last week, cfg, changes, trying different fov, sens, and timenudge settings ect, and am just playing pretty poor overall. As the tittle suggests i play to win, and when i loose, i admit, i dont like it, in fact if i loose and play badly and i know it, i really hate it, and it makes me fucking angry...i need to get this issue off my chest as it bothers me, and like to know if others have similar issues. MOst of the time i play at a high standard, and generally happy, but when i get a bad spell, i just get really pissed off, i dont want to leave my pc, untill my perfomance improves, and im satisfied, or ill go oout and be depressed, even when im out in real life and socializing, in the back of my head i think, ffs, wtf is wrong with my q3 play. I love this game, and is pretty much the only thing i play in terms of computer games ect. I needed to get this issue of my chest, so i thought id share my experiences, with this wonderful community. Personally i think i play too mcuh when i can, maybe not enough brakes, dunno, but i mainly feel its cuz i change my cfg too much also, even still however, i wish i never get so fucked off, ect cuz it effects how i feel even after ive left my pc, i cant seem to brush off my frustration.

You're not alone man. I've noticed even some heavy life failures don't piss me off as much as having a streak of bad games in q3. And i think i know why are you so pissed off today, Kompressors are idiots ^^

ups and downs are normal. u may think..why this or that player never have down times...why some players always play at best standard 
? i have noticed lot of times very good players hiding with a fakenick (i use rcon to see who is who)... , when they feel not that good a day or two, ot just dont want to play for real .....and only show their tag when they are on top of their game .
u can not play good all the time , this is impossible , there are humans behind the mouse, like mow , said once...sometimes u just not in the "killing mood" , sometimes u just need to clean the table or mouse ...sometimes u are just fed up of q3 and u need a break.
best luck Hella.

if you are having problems with your cfg, wait until one day where you have an amazing run of shots, great movement and generally an awesome day...unfortunately you've just gotta keep changing things until this day comes, but when it does - save that cfg and make a note inside the cfg of all software mouse settings aswell as the q3 mouse accel, sensitivity, fov etc.

thats how i play quake 
nah go and listen to music while playing that maybe helps.
getting an cfg from other people maybe helps to there many things u can do i would change all things bad and then just always change one thing look if better or not and so on

when i play realy crappy i listen to the group Rasmus or Nightwish, realy helps, and if that doesnt help, have a bottle of fresh apple juice, about the sensitiity i just make it once, and never change anything, only when i have to, like new mod or smthn like that, my pc is with 2 monitors so on the second one i have excessiveplus forums on, when i am trying to find a server i am looking at the forums, and so on. my graphic card has 2 slots for monitors.. crappy card i should say, but for q3 and solitair it is ok.

OK, here writes formally Mr. Addictive 
, that's me 
.
I had same problem as you, man, some time ago...I started to play bad all of a sudden and it lasted for weeks...I forced myself to play even more to become better, just as you do, and guees what...it didn't help , after some time I have descided not to spend any time to quake for a whole month, cos i played bad, and cos i needed some more time to study, so i have desided to make a STOP_QUAKE_TEAM http://forums.excessiveplus.net/viewtopic.php?t=5865&highlight=stopquaketeam
that consists of players that will stop playing quake for a month...(i made the team to help other people like me to get some more free time) and it really helped! After i came back i didn't have such a good aim, but in about 4 days i got my old aim back and after 2 weeks i played already better than before. There is one thing i can certainly say about Quake (that works for me...don't know about others), when i play too much quake I start to lose! my aim gets down...but when i play for a couple of hours / day, my aim becomes much better every day! really!
Quake is addictive, so be careful with it .
BTW, when i played bad, i also started to change everything in my config (however i did play with same config very well a couple of days ago ), i think that you should show me your config, then i can see whether you have some wrong things in it. And i can give you my config too, maybe you will find some really usefull things in it (cos my config is a collection of all the great configs i found on internet )

What I do when I feel I am playing bad. Is blame my internet connection, or the opposing team for being spammers and my own for being noobs. Or as a last ditch effort in overcoming bad play is connect to Area51 rail. Who doesnt own there?

lol sinon, and cheers for the replies, tbh when i wrote that iwas pissed off...but noew im chilled, and i know i play good when im chilled and concentrated. I also only can balme myself for my defeat as i mentioned i get angry at my performance, i don't blame it on internet, though lat night i was on USA server, however i play often there, and i just played poorley. I know it was me that was the prob and i can accept that, but its hard, because you expect when you feel you have the perfect cfg, and you have a good winning,, performance streak with it, that you will always perform well when using it, and never need to change it again. I've done things like seen players who i feel have high standard all the time, look at thier snaps, packets, see if they use nudge ect, and try what they have out, and foolishly if i play better, i think its because of the changes i mde, and think yes this it is, then when i suddenly play like really bad, i think omg whats going on im awful at this now, ive lost my talent at this, ive slowed down ect.
@tyrant, yea i do have a cfg that has all my settings that ive been using for ages now, it was this last week that i changed things, and have noticed some good performances, however the poor performances have outweighted the good.
ps can anyone please explain to me exactly what 'cl_timenudge x' does?
Cheers everyone
