needs to be a skeleton at this point

...

why does CPM feel so much worse than quakeworld?

11 days until E3
Surely we can last that long

A+
see me after class
we are escalating this into teacher molestation

>UT99 general is 10x as dead but still survives because it's on /vr/
ITS NOT FAIR

Where did all the UTbabs go anyways? Even in its current state UT4 is still better than '99.

We can't waifu fag since we don't have enough pictures of Quake girls. We can't shitpost cause we don't have enough memes.

there's like 20 years of meme material

what the fuck I thought was just making some joke about sorlag

jesus christ

I made a bunch buy yeah, there's certainly not enough

If my grandparents played quake, my grandmother would be anarki and lean with the character when she turned, and my grandfather would play visor and camp in corners with the RL while drinking white russians

rapha's grandparents watch his stream and play quake live

that is awesome

maybe i can tell rapha I railed his grandparents

In the event of Waifu-fagging I would like to claim Hunter from now.

...

why doesn't fatal1ty play duel in QC

Dunno I've seen Cooller and Evil playing, maybe he doesn't want to compete in duel?

What did Cooller think of QC?

...

claiming sorlag!!!

...

...

Netcode is still shit

He was actually playing against Agent and they were speaking Russian so I have no clue what he thought.

This is why a new Quake will always have a lukewarm reception and then just die straight afterward. If ID was hoping to get people into the game by making the beta open it seems to be backfiring.

I don't think he's being unreasonable though.
Yeah you can respond git gud, but he doesn't know anything about quake. He doesn't know that he needs to focus more on items and map control. It's a huge issue in QC right now, anyone is matched with anyone and completely new players are facing professionals in their first games ever.

Quake needs matchmaking asap.

Really they need to add Crash into the game and have her walk new players through a mandatory tutorial, that's what Heroes of the Storm does, and you get the basics of the game pretty quickly.

My waifu is trying to kill your waifu

Desperately needs tutorials too, especially on stuff like strafejumping which a lot of new players don't even know about. They did say that tutorials are very high priority though. Hopefully the game really pushes people to play through them, they should offer some rewards like a reliquary at least

pretty sure they have some sort of matchmaking now, all the quakedads have gotten drastically increased queue times from the last patch to the current one, and the top guys only manage to find matches against each other

it doesn't really help though, not as much as a tutorial would. it's beta of course, but I think they went public too soon

when's diabotical coming out?

>pretty sure they have some sort of matchmaking now, all the quakedads have gotten drastically increased queue times from the last patch to the current one, and the top guys only manage to find matches against each other

I'm sure they'd say if they added matchmaking. I saw fatal1ty and a group of friends anally ravish a bunch of lvl2s this weekend. It was insane.

>it doesn't really help though, not as much as a tutorial would. it's beta of course, but I think they went public too soon

A tutorial would be good too, but even with an amazing tutorial they won't be ready to face anyone who played a lot of the earlier quakes.

When it's done bro. Don't expect it this year I'd say, but that's just me.

>no tutorial
>no bots
>no beta being constantly open instead of just waves
>shitty UI

Dead game lads ID and Bethesda WANTED this to fail obviously

I agree, tdm seemed more even to me on the latest build

>Doubting
I like what they did so far and basically all problems that the community has brought up have been commented or are on their to-do list.

>no beta being constantly open instead of just waves
I don't think that's weird, but the beta that starts on june 2nd doesn't have an end date.

They've said they're working on the UI and I think it's completely fin as it is.

>tfw devcuck
They know better than most of the community.

I think introducing the beta in waves keeps people anxious for the game instead of getting burnt out completely during open beta, agreed on the rest though. They really should've had a tutorial day 1, sucks to see new players giving up but it does take a certain kind of person to stick with quake because no matter what new players are going to get absolutely obliterated for a while.

To quote someone who knows vidya better than me "The way I knew OverWatch was going to succeed was that there was porn of it immediately after the announcement trailer and Hero reveal." We underestimate the power of waifu-fagging

I got stuck with 3 noobs versus a squad of Quake Dads. If matchmaking is in its pretty wonky.

waifufaggotry is severely overrated
blizzard's earlier games like WC2, Diablo, and SC have next to no waifufaggotry yet they were all big successes
when you go with waifufaggotry you're going for a different kind of audience from the standard quake fanbase and quake isn't going to attract gooks any time soon

I'd take quakedads any day over pic related that suddenly began warping all over the place when they started losing

That is actually an excellent point. My only counter would be that those games were "groundbreaking" where as QC is more or less an attempt to breathe new life into an old genre. I suppose waifu-fagging may not be the best way, I am open to suggestions.

Because it's not pandering to them which is good but a double edged sword

I'm shocked so many Korean's love OW because asians in general haet the genre, I can gurantee the momment ID put a Chinese or Korean inspired waifu in the game they'd take notice (D.va, Wukong , Tahm Kench etc. )

I want Arena shooters to come back dammit they're fun even when you lose (as long as it's not a Quakedad stomp) you don't get the feeling you do from tactical or "boots on the ground" shooters, the market is being flooded by them all FPS and it's sub genres used to live side by side but somewhere along the lines arena died out, now for some reason everyone is trying to bring them back (John Romero with that patreon or whatever project, Cliffy B with Law Breakers, ID bringing back Quake, EPIC with UT4, DOOM 2016 ) but the problem is all of these right now are commercial failures even the ones still in beta because there's no hype and the betas are ass, except for UT4 that's a pretty solid fucking beta but it still has no advertising.

>because asians in general haet the genre
lmfao dis nigga doesn't know about CS online or the millions of other mmo clones

>Lag switching Nyxbabs

they couldn't remove her fast enough bruh

Just make her a bit Thiccer imo and she would be fine. How you fix Anarkia adad spam idk.

>nyx stack

fucking gross

donyou really want this place to end up like /owg/ though
sometimes a dead general is better

But is right though. I would add that D.va appeals more to weebs and korea-boos. Tracer, Mercy and Widow I think appeal more to the gooks.

>not wanting Hunter lewds
>not wanting Nyx lewds
>Not wanting Crash lewds
>Not wanting Sorlag lewds

Generally not wanting lewds of Quake girls is unforgivable senpai.

i would rather have mods and custom maps

we just need to wait until someone rips the models, ports them to SFM, and then makes voiced PoV fellatio or (reverse) cowgirl webms

...

ID used to support custom content just like Blizzard used to. I don't think they'll support it SnapMap was a far cry from what the original .WAD maker was, if that's anything to go by

id's support for custom content went above and beyond anything blizzard ever did
shame they will never do it again

I'm still mildly miffed sorlag isn't male

blasphemous, her voice is perfect

fag

yeah I'm willing to let it slide because her VO is great

>not sore fag
ya blew it

on my balls, gag

I just want Galena

it's much, much more involved to make custom content for modern games, hence the solutions like snapmap which are inherently flawed by restricting you to low granularity prebuilt stuff

I think UT4 proves otherwise

and by prove otherwise i mean that's not a valid excuse to not allow players to mod games
it is definitely harder to make nice map textures/models for newer games

you forgot
> nyx/anarki + lg/rg

Galena as a Tsundere

>b-baka its not like I want you to help me gather blood sacrifices

wtf is this ookla UI

>Kneel and beg for forgiveness
You might be onto something
I want to give her little cultist members
In the missionary position

galena feels pretty dommy
sorlag would be a better tsundere

but how do we reconfig clutch into a sexbot?

penetrate his barrier

but the only weapon that can bypass his shield is the gaunt-

Thanks bro

okay

what's the skinny on UT4
do you really have to pay for community content

no money for anything at all. Just money for cosmetics.

are they community cosmetics?

ya. I bought a cardboard box hat for $5. Thats the only money ive spent on ut4 and all the content is free

Was Painkiller the go-to arena shooter for competitions in 2004?
