INDIAN Quake Live Server - IP Testing

Rickyk · Aug 3, 2014

Guys,
As some of you may be aware, Quake Live is coming to STEAM later this month.

India doesn't have a Quake Live server. However we are trying to setup a COMMUNITY HOSTED Quake Live server in India. To that end, we have found a potential ISP we could host with. We need users who are interested in playing the game to test the IP (103.240.164.1) and give feedback regarding ping, traceroute etc.

You can post the test results here in this TE thread. If you have a Quake Live account, you may also post it in the thread on the Quake Live site here -

http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?37456-India-server-location-IP-test

The info we require is a traceroute along with your ping. This can be done form the Windows Command prompt. Please include the following info in your post -

LOCATION -
TRACEROUTE -
PING -
tracert to IP 103.240.164.1
and then
ping IP 103.240.164.1

For example -
tracert 103.240.164.1

Decent pings from Bangalore.

Oh god, why did I see this thread? I quit gaming for good!

Rickyk · Aug 14, 2014

Hi Ashr.
Tried to contact you earlier via TE PM but recd. no reply. Why did you quit gaming entirely?
Most of the "regular" Indian QL players have jobs but they play at night and are VERY active on the weekend. There are MANY Indians who are active on the QL Sing servers. Some of them even recall the "legendary Q3A player ashr" and I constantly remind those who have forgotten.

PLEASE CONSIDER COMING BACK TO QL!!!

As for your ping, I am stunned its so bad. What ISP are you using? A traceroute would be helpful.

Also, what do you currently ping to the Sing QL servers? Some Indian players get 40 ping to the Sing servers. Several get under 70. The ip for the Sing QL server is 216.12.220.165.

ashrr · Aug 14, 2014

Hey Ricky

I quit last October because I was way too addicted to Dota 2, playing 6 to 10 hours a day. At that time, there were hardly any Quake players around either so I couldn't simply hop into a server for some quick games. I used to ping around 50 to 60 to the SG QL servers the last time I checked. I'm on Airtel but it could be because of my Wi-Fi. I'm not connected via ethernet at the moment since I don't game at all.

I've randomly fired up QL just to hop around a few times but I could never find any players.

edit - Just checked again and it was 80 ms.

Rickyk · Aug 14, 2014

Well here's some good news for you - your 80 ping to SG would place you pretty much in the "top 5 players group" in terms of Indian player's pings to the SG server.

The majority of us, myself included, get 85-110 which is why we want to setup an Indian QL server. LG just doesn't work like it should at such high latency and Duels become frustrating at times. Its playable for CA though which is quite popular with the Indian players.

Funnily enough, several of the regular Indian QL players also play DOTA 2!

Theres an Indian account created with the name 'AshR' on June 2014. Is this yours?

Its not hard to find players for duel TBH. Only problem is the latency. Fraze, (world no.3 QL Duel) plays on the Sing servers quite often. So do other ELO 2000+ players. They ping 60-80 there so it levels the playing field somewhat. Then you have other pro players on Sing like Reduxable, Astcxj, Roger4 etc. You wont find a shortage of players. Just add these guys to friends and you will always have someone to duel with. Plus, the active Indian QL players who are GOOD are pr0d1gy, addyquakelive, luffy_tsubasa as well as several others who live and play from India but use other country flags.

Would be AWESOME to see you back in QL though I only ever played CPMA with you. Please consider coming back to the game!

In case you do, add me to friends. My QL tag is 'singularity'.

ashrr · Aug 14, 2014

June 2014? No, not me. I haven't played anything in months.

The 80 ping was to your Indian IP BTW, not SG QL server. I've no idea what that ping would be. How many Indian duelers are around these days? Maybe I might play a few games soon, but before that I'd need to get a good mouse and pad - gave away all my equipment

Rickyk · Aug 14, 2014

That account I referred to above is unused. It was created on that date but no games have been played with it. At the time, I was very hopeful it was you but when it remained inactive I kind of lost hope.

As for Indian QL DUEL players, I would say about 15. From what I recall from my CPMA games vs you, only pr0d1gy, addyquakelive, dragon & luffy_tsubasa would give you any sort of competition when it comes to Indian QL Players.

However SG/AUS duelers like Reduxable, Astcxj, Parkinson, Roger4, fryingpan, Xuw, Cognition would give you serious competition. Fraze is in a league of his own being ranked world no.3.

With QL coming to Steam, that number of QL players in general is sure to rise. Here's a suggestion. Make a random QL account and test your ping to the QL SG server (216.12.220.165). See what sort of ping you get and whether you feel you can play with it. If nothing else, its a good idea to play CA initially just to get a feel for the ping. CA servers are usually FULL (16 player max) on weekends and about 10-12 players every weeknight (6 PM IST onwards).

The Ind QL server is tentatively coming up sometime in late Aug-Sept, post the QL Steam rollout so theres plently of time for you to get your game back to the "legendary" standard you are remembered for.

Thanks for the ping/traceroute reports guys. Very nice ping from Ghatkopar!

Some more reports from other areas would be greatly appreciated...

Decent ping to delhi server since the route did not go via mumbai.
If you are looking for stable ping from all locations you should host it from mumbai.

Thanks for the tracert Blue Leaf. Added all the tracerts listed above to the QL forum thread.

Please keep them coming...

Well, the Steam release is imminent.

Of course, they've completely ruined the game for anyone who doesn't subscribe.

There's a trailer up as well here

They've changed the original announcer because why not?

saumilsingh · Sep 19, 2014

New Quake Live Ruleset

Players may now hold jump to continuously jump.

Players may now hold forward and jump to 'bunny hop', allowing them to slowly gain up to 2x their base movement speed.

Introduced Loadouts in select modes; allowing players to select one Primary Weapon (hmg, rl, lg, rg) and one Secondary Weapon (sg, gl, pg, mg).

Added the command "weapon toggle" to toggle between your Primary and Secondary weapons. Defaults to "f" for new users.

Unified weapon respawn time to 5 seconds across all game modes.

Unified friendly fire, disabled across all game modes.

Added global Ammo Packs, in lieu of weapon specific ammo, where each pack grants you a small amount of ammo for each weapon in your inventory.

Reduced ammo respawn time from 40 seconds to 10 seconds.

Added in-world item timers for "major" items, including armors, megahealth, power-ups, and medkit.

Items have taller pickup collision boxes, so that players will not miss items as they jump over them.

Added Power-up Spawn POIs, that appear 10 seconds before a power-up spawns.

Added Power-up POIs, that indicate when an available power-up is available in the arena.

What's all this nonsense?

Highlighted the only good change in Red, but I am 99% sure Promode already did that.
Everything else is just sad...

Rickyk · Sep 19, 2014

^Apparently that's what happens when you try to make a game like QL "noob friendly".

Coming Soon in the Steam version - HATS!
