dead already

nerf Nyx and LG for maximum fun already

nyx is balanced
she gets 1-shot by rockets rail and shotgun

what is the best way to grind favors?

top frag
your skill == amount of favor you earn per match

i swear if i have to click all games on that stupid launcher again i wont play this shit anymore

piece of shit bethesda niggers

hoooooly fuck rails and rockets are so fucking inconsistent in QC its like the equivalent of rolling a dice everytime you try and take a shot at someone

if she's retarded and walks in front of somebody with those weapons before she invul+invis runs over to a single shield or shard, let alone the mega/ra

nyx is
>second smallest hitbox
>fastest base speed
>easy map mobility
>F get out of jail free card

1000% more going for her than anyone else. literal easymode champion

you can drag a game from "all games" into the regular games bar

Nyx is fine. LG needs less range.

Also, git gud .

In case anyone was wondering, Daily Challenges stack. What I mean is if you don't do a Daily on day 1 then it carries over to day 2 and after you complete it you receive the Daily from day 2.

I don't know how many times this can happen but basically you don't absolutely have to do the Daily on that day or miss out on favor.

>win a duel 2-0
>say gg
>it wasn't a gg

I just got absolutely destroyed by someone named tenbit myself. I'd have to assume they are or were a quake pro.

is it just me or are physics slightly different from q3 and ql

ANARKI BROS WW@?

>flying around the map getting ALL THE ITEMS
>old school BHOP
>when close to die, press F, back to full\
>best vanity item

I just hope they change nothing about him... he his so perfect

>best vanity item

Looks like someone needs a 1st class ticket through the neatest slipgate.

...

He looks like Bane.

Tell me about Ranger, why does he wear the Shambler head?

No, Ranger, you are Quake
And then Ranger was a Shambler

Had to wait at least 10 minutes to see a login screen just to get a client error. Now the game doesn't start at all. I know it's beta but c'mon.

>get a 2 character lead in the final round against a good player
>spend the next 3 minutes just passively waiting and avoiding him until I win by timeout
>sense his frustration as he manically bunnyhops around the map trying to find me

>when close to die, press F, back to full

how do you do bridge to rail on dm6 itself there's a wall in the way

what's the hp buff he gets per heal? 2hp or so?

nevermind i got it

How do I unlock champions? Do I grind out chests from ranking up or can I get them in backpacks?

No LG needs less fucking pushback,i don't care about its range or damage but the pushback amount is retarded.

You're right .

don't jump in LG fights l0l

not sure how that work, not even sure if its intended.

I hope they leave it like that.

I really hope they tone down the size of this thing.

Who want to drop me some key for this doggo

What's the best gametype in quake (champions or otherwise)?

I've always just like FFA

Can we all agree that Anarki is fucking dumb?

FFA, Duel, Defrag, and CTF

>queue into tdm
>our level combined is lower than their lowest guy


mmmm yes epic

Can we have a LIGHTSPEED IS TOO SLOW edition?

>never win FFA
>almost always get highest accuracy medal

this game is rigged

jesus fucking christ the sound in qc is garbage

almost like there's more important things in quake than point and click skills

Clan Arena 3v3 and 4v4
CTF
Classic duel

I haven't touched any other game mode since Duel dropped, it's too much fun. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more killers on there. Most of the time it's either a close run kind of thing either way or I just beat someone who doesn't bother picking up the armour or mega.

>Classic mode
fucking this we need this to rid of those fucking casual mobarena players

god fucking damn the hud is AWFUL
why does it have to be FLASHING ALL THE FUCKING TIME
I KNOW I'M TAKING DAMAGE
WHEN HP OR ARMOR NUMBERS DECREASE THIS USUALLY MEANS YOU'RE BEING HIT

i hate the exp stats showing up everytime you kill someone
but i particularly hate the red outline when youre low
this isnt fucking call of duty

there's no screen shake on hit at least
that shit ruins wolfET for me

implying i jump,i try to move in a zigzag and get away but even on the ground it pushes me away

21 matches later still nothing
great game

>Duel
>It's another guy hiding on highground only using rail
>That guy is actually me and I always rekt my opponents without doing anything skillfull aside aiming
>Everyone gets so so so mad

Which character are they gonna add, lads?

Klesk
Bones
Doom
BJ from wolfenstein
(Sarge)
(Keel)
Generic military girl that isnt major

>he didnt see the leak

What leak?

Have to go launch through the Bethesda client, using the game launcher gives an error. I think it just uses the game launcher the first time too.

...

Come on, you can trust me.

My accuracy is decent but I have poor map control, rarely get the quad/armors unless I happen to be nearby when they're up so I know why I lose.

...

>this is already in the game
>and people are seriously saying Hunter and Crash would be covered up if added

Why?

>open reliquary
>3 blue shaders for champs i dont play

thank god this ends tomorrow

Does quake live still have players in EU? Is it really hard to find games?

I've played a bit of reflex but I kind of wanna get into the real deal. QC is fun, but needs a lot of work.

Yes and it has a lot more players than Reflex

So Lag Switching is pretty fucking real.

I just tried it and you can leave your body in a corner in some room and then your "screen" is killing shit on the other side of the map but they don't see you.

G R E A T N E T C O D E

So... uh, anyone feel like uploading some matches?

This game NEEDS instant weapon switch. I feel like I get punished SO hard for changing weps midfight. I just have to hold my LG out constantly.

maybe
mode/character? I have ranger clutch nyx right now

I could, but I'm bad at the game and I wouldn't enjoy being bullied by the people here.

Do most people just use the number keys to swap weapons in Quake games? I'm used to using mousewheel and side buttons for weapon switching but since Quake has more weapons to use it doesn't work out too well.

>nyx on the other team
>"my team was shit"

really makes me frag

literally all good frags happened off camera nad the game was lagging REAL bad today

1 2 3 4 5 q e r f t g (z x c if necessary)

Surprise me. :)

If you're undecided, there haven't been many vids with Clutch, so a nice DM/TDM with him may be interesting. I don't know how he'd fare in duel, but that may be good as well.

You black-out your name anyway (NDA), and it doesn't matter if you're not good, every bit of footage is appreciated. We were all noobs once.

>can't get a key, even when Bethesda is throwing them around like confetti by now
>just going to bait anons into getting NDA banned instead

>implying they'll ever catch me
>implying I don't have an extra key

Why is she so perfect?

There's nothing they can do if you cover player names.

And even then, they won't bother unless you attract lots of attention. They know this NDA is a joke, and just want to keep things at least somewhat in check.

...

*teleports behind you*

pshh... he didn't even see me cummin'

>almost always win ffa
>almost always get mega/red
really seeing a pattern here. really though it amazes me how people don't wanna go for those two. was playing tdm and my teammate literally just ran past the mega that was up.

mega's icon is just so stupidly stylized in my first match I was wondering what the fuck I was looking at, especially since it was dm6 with it spawning next to rail pad
I've actually seen people actively _avoid it_

>Being sub-par in arena shooters, not even close to as good as I was when I was 16
>Really like arena arena shooters so I'll play them anyway

The most important things in Quake are movement and item control. Aim matters but not as much.

Yeah, this baffles me as well. I always pick up EVERYTHING in Quake games/arena shooters, because if I don't someone else will and use them against me. I see so many people just running past items and jumping straight into fights. This must be what your brain on CoD looks like.

Had to turn off every sound because sometimes it desyncs and gets annoying as hell.I am not even sure why they released the game into a closed beta in this state.Did they think the game was in a playable state?Yes it's kind of playable but not really.

youre dumb

>get top 4 but almost never win ffa
>get a lot of the pickups and the 2nd most exp every game even if I'm 4th
I play DM like it's duel.
