/arena/ - Arena FPS General

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
HAVE A GOOD DAY SIR

WHY ARE YOU YELLING

someone shoved him through a slipgate

a "good" one

YOU TO PALL

WHY ARE YOU YELLING

> sudden death
> 'enemy has the quad'
> SNG get
> charge at dude with quad
> die
> posthumous nail frag
> win
best win i ever got

this is the people you're gonna be playing with

>muh gender muh sexism

they will wash out at record speeds and be back in sloverwatch in a week

What do people mean when they say Reflex movement is worse than CPMA?
There's a speed difference but they describe it as if it's janky. I just don't see it.

>all the way back to QL
HA.

I know the ng is virtually identical to plasma but I wish it felt more powerful

the nail projectiles are also really difficult to see

I bet two grand that this is low-quality bait.

1. remove the pain sound that resembles a playing card clipped to a bicycle wheel
2. increase the volumeof the actual character pain sounds and make them become more severe as your hp decreases, just like q3 had separate sound cues for being hit at 100-76, 75-51, 50-26, 25-1
3. remove hp/armor bar flashing when taking damage

I would love to play if my queue times weren't totally fucking outrageous.

>queue into sac
>5:35
>match found
>one dot doesn't light up
>some chucklefuck is being slow again
>searching for a match... 00:01

>queue for Sacrifice
>6:00 in queue
>finally get a game
>It's a 3v3, clampOK is on the other team
>"Great! Nice opportunity to play a good opponent!" ( only got rapha one other time )
>Everyone on my team immediately leaves and it's a 1v3

maybe they're doggos
all doggos talk and write in capslock because they're doggos

...

man duel really fucking sucks in QC, what were they thinking?

>everyone ghosts around the arena despite me having 43 ping
>Man with 253 ping is always the highest kills
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>Playing least popular mode
>Playing AFPS
>complains about queue times
What they're really missing is a lobby system, like Reflex (except it should have voting enabled).

I'm surprised Duel doesn't manage to be less popular though. It'd be faster queue times anyway.

No idea but only 5 frags max a round is gay.

Is there an MMR system in this game? I actually can't tell. Sometimes I get really high quality games and long queues and other times I just get pubstomps. I don't understand what's happening.

random is random
you get matched with whatever's available at the moment

agreed

Something had to have changed from the previous iterations.

Even for TDM I get 10+ mins. So that shoots your theory in the ass.

AFPS are dead user.

Reminder Quakeworld tonight at 5PM PDT. Download nQuake from the OP if you don't have it.

>vote for dm6 over sarnath
>get BeRailed Ruins instead

>implying the whole game isn't a railfest

yeah im getting more competent opponents every so often now

Yaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssss

>tfw can't start up QL anymore
Should I reinstall?

>been in QC loading screen for 5+ mins

what is going on my friends, already tried restarting the game after i waited 5 mins before

verify game cache probably and try restarting your pc

>quietly sit there fuming every time a rocket or rail literally pass through an enemy
>bottom frag, getting fucking destroyed
>start raging at the screen every time the netcode fucks me
>start doing well

really makes me think

what the fuck happened to the netcode

this is so much worse than the previous beta

Probably not a good sign

>Make a joke about being a tank and drawing quad aggro as clutch in a tdm
>the whole enemy team focuses me as I have shield up and my actually good team mate frags them all with a railgun
nice.

RIP your hard drive

That's 8PM EST?

Also, what does the 'smart jump' cvar control in nquake/ezquake? I thought it was input buffering but it isn't, it works fine even with the cvar off.

ye
doom4guy levels of anger for about 15 levels followed by actually getting decent

strong independant woman who don't need no railgun

>Actually shilling QC
Disgusting. Doesn't even make much sense why would you shill a game that's so different from what you like?

>what is going on my friends
This is normal.

nah i fixed it, was some amd settings

Great dude. Now tell us what those are because virtually everyone is having long load issues. Even streamers who certainly have incentive to be ontop of this shit.

What's the deal with smiley binds? Why does everyone have one or more?

It's a fast game. But a lot of social interaction can be conveyed that way.

haha owned bro dont be mad im just better :)))
haha im not bad u just got lucky your shit :)))

i tried to mess with some settings in the radeon control panel and it made it take longer to load, its fine now

i have everything on low and play in 4:3 and my load times arent so bad, i do agree they could be better though

please dont get mad at me

Yes.

fact: qc is getting so much flak only because it can't be played on ivan.sevchenko2002's toaster

because there was a time before voice chat and you had to type shit quickly or bind it to a key

I've noticed almost ALL the weapons do this shit

RG has it
NG SNG have it
MG HMG seem to have a slow
RL of course has knock around (this is fine if it were the only one)
LG as you stated, but I thought the effect was only supposed to happen when someone is in the air like stated.

shit is starting to kill the game for me because now it's more about shooting 1st instead of good aim

i have a toaster and play it fine

All of those already had knockback.

I know but it didn't seem as extreme until QC

>MG HMG seem to have a slow

NO
YOU SEE
THINGS ARE SO RETARDED RIGHT NOW THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING RUBBERBANDING ON EVERY HIT REGISTER
IE. TELLS YOUR CLIENT TO POSITION UPDATE WHENEVER IT ALSO TELLS YOU YOU JUST GOT HIT
SO YOU SNAP BACK TO WHERE IT TOLD YOU YOU JUST GOT HIT
YOU CAN LITERALLY BE YANKED BACKWARDS THROUGH A TELEPORTER
IN THE CASE OF A RAPID HITSCAN LIKE THE HMG, THIS ESSENTIALLY FUNCTIONS AS A "SLOW"

SO MANY RETARDED THINGS

I thought beta is over since it's past 4pm est?

may 30th breeeeehh

Just in time for Diablo 2 reset

its used either to shit on you or to acknowledge a good play

same as blizzards emote wheel and going "Hello!" when you kill an ulting genji as a support character

that is complete bullshit
but explains everything

iirc it has to do with jump key working as "swim up" as well as jumping

So something weird just happened on QL.

I had fun. I shit you not.

did you get completely roflstomped anyway?

why is the music so bad in QC? Doom was so good, but this isn't?

Well there's not much a soundtrack in QC to begin with, it's mostly ambience

RIP new players

>somebody likes you, open tinder and find out!
as if
this app has lied for me for too long
how do we ultra quake pros impress women if we dont even play league of legends and have the epic "champion" title of whatever the fuck you get for being in the 1%
these arena fps skills dont even matter to anyone outside of our community

> team full of nyx and anarki
the game basically plays itself for you

The dude next to Tim has such a chiseled face he looks like a Quake character

I just fucking hate the Ankari ADADAD spammers.

The balance for tdm will be garbage because the game is centered around their new mode.
Sacrifice is fun, but the lack of voice chat and lag makes it hard to grind out tons of matches.

look at the arkangel33 dude. level 1, 22 deaths. The game doesn't know how to put people up against the same skill level, and doesn't have a tutorial.

"you've been selected for combat by the elder gods! Pick 1 of many ruthless, murdering champions to crush your foes! All to suspend our boredom and satisfy your bloodlust!

And then tell the fuckers to play around in tdm to learn the maps and locations. Have a tutorial for sacrifice.
My friend bought overwatch yesterday for his console, he's completely new. Everyone matched with him was new as well, and super low level.

They mentioned in their AMA that the current matchmaking is influenced by several factors, but when asked if they will implement an actual rating matchmaking system, they said it's coming in the future. So the utterly fucked matchmaking right now is not final.

There is literally nothing wrong with the good old days where you joined a server and got your ass beat while you learned how to play.

that is fine with me, but there is a plethora of newcomers who want a fair fight.

>it's quackworld night
>tfw your internet probably wont' be good enough to play
kill me now and save the trouble later, please

Yeah, but 7 games in a row where I had fun

My LG and rail was on point most of the games, but I have garbage awareness and I'm shit at predictions and decision making, I just run around aimlessly dishing out damage and picking up whatever item I stumble on by pure luck.

I'm not made for duel but it's the only way I can have fun.

duel is fun once you get better
when inexperienced playing out of control is pure suffering

It's more of a matter of me having bad timing because I can't keep track of shit and purely relying on aim like I do on every other shooter in the world, because aim is the only thing I have.

Also, I can't play passive at all because it bores me to death so I always stay semi aggresive even when out of control, popping my head out where I think the guy's gonna be, railing him once and running to the next spot while trying to stack up so I have time to do more damage if I get caught out.

you have no idea of the suffering of having all movement and zero aim though

You sound like the opposite of me. Garbage movement, good aim here.

what the shit
when did scalebearers charge do this much damage
did they buff it or did the gauntlet bug migrate to the bullcharge and LG

I really miss loadout.

full speed charge always did 150

Seriously what the fuck are people doing to go 50-15 in big FFA games on QL?

Blah blah get items and shit well how the fuck do you get items and maintain any sort of stack when there are people on your ass the second you spawn.

They're going to fix it right?
