sorlag in vore tournament when

reflex maps are boring and forgettable compared to classics like aerowalk, use and abuse, phrantic, ztndm3
its not a unique enough game to pretend cpma maps dont work on it

ded

Why did the last thread get archived?

because nobody posted for over an hour

What do you do when you want to circle jump into a direction you're already running towards? Do two "half" strafes - one left and one right? Or just flick your mouse away and circle jump back in?

I do a shitty flick

Anyone else getting some strange sort of Stockholm syndrome with the new duel? I feel like the more I watch it the more appealing it gets but I know it's objectively shit compared to what Quake dueling really is.

Opinions on UT2004?

how the f*ck do you set up a zoom key in reflex?

I think it's a lot better than UT99 in terms of gameplay and balance and the extra movement options compared to 99 made it a lot of fun.

I've got a problem with QC. Initially, I played with a custom resolution of 1440x900@125Hz. However, later on I made another modeline of 1280x800@140Hz. Now QC has somehow mixed these two and runs 1280x800 at 125Hz instead of 140Hz, essentially forcing the monitor into a new modeline. Any CRT users experienced such an issue?

why is rocket splash so weak in reflex?

if you've played TF2, that might be it

i played cpma right before though

My Nyx waifu is so cute. CUTE!

twitch dot tv/suddendeathtv
quakeworld 1v1 going on right now for dreamhack

>her stomach when she snaps her fingers

Nyx is so boring, she's just a boring sci fi lady, probably the most boring design in game.

Still cute.

Why are koreans so fucking bad at FPS that they need OW to be relevant?

nyx is a geneic mary sue

Explain this claim when we have barely any story content to go off of

>Nyx is so boring, she's just a boring sci fi lady, probably the most boring design in game.
>nyx is a geneic mary sue
You are boring.

But yeah I stopped playing Nyx when they added based Blasko.

> generic scifi look
> generic lady character
> animu grade glowy hair
> totes leet super stealth spec ops
> boring 'serious all the time' attitude
> invulnerability on demand is fun to fight against
> totally not trying to be symbolic vanity item
just the worst

nyx is the one you would fuck like a whore but not take out for a date
or spend any time with at all

>Not wanting to make OP phase babies with her

because Korweebs sucks in any game, besides memey ones which they can live at the same home in full pederasty mode user

I'd take Nyx any time over punk garbage like Slash.

how do i not get LG'd through walls?
how do i not get spawn fragged?

i quit
literally the moment i spawn, a rocket lands at my feet, sending my 12 feet in the air and i get shot by MG bullet and die
didn't even have time to take one fucking step

Official Quakefuu tier list:
>Hunter
>Nyx
>Crash
>Slash
>Galena
>Mynx
>Major
>Sorlag
>Lucy

cant even tell which game you're talking about but git gud

Probably QC its very hard for a losing team to get back into the game.

sorlag vore art when?

i call her big booty cause she got a big booty

Just play skyrim with sex mods or google lusty argonian maid, Sorlag is Genuine one

>even someone played with beth and id on twitter about that once and they liked

it's not THE SAME

fuck off

> dual LG
> crosshair on character
> 2 hits at most
> get hit by an invisible rocket fired by a player who wasn't rendered on your screen until they already left

bad game by bad developers

>not wanting to be fucked by sorlag dressed as a lusty argonian maid, as she as asks if she may tender your meat loaf

you disappoint me user

>ranger not at the top

>Not Scalebearer

>Nyx above Crash
>Nyx that high at all
>Sorlag that low

All quakes were garbage at launch.

This one is not even released but beta.

lets pretend you accidentally mixed nyx's and sorlag's spots and no-one has to get hurt

all of those belong in the garbage bin

Do you think this game would have crowd funding like Dota?

no gays allowed

waifufags are closet sissy homos

explain your reasoning

t. someone who knows nothing about competitive gaming

seriously, this feels like everyone else is a full second in the future

OFFICIAL /arena/ BROCHAMP LIST:
1. Ranger, Visor, Scalebearer, Clutch, Anarki, BJ

But user, I want to be the meat loaf.

>adadarki
>bro

Eat my balls bro

eyy how can i duel a friend? It says unavailable and only tdm and sacrafice are available. He says he got all champs unlocked.

Custom game, you can't select the actual mode form the menu

champ's personality has nothing to do with the kind of people who play him
I'd still get wasted with 'narki

i'd rather play vidya with q3a anarki

YEA WEEE

i tried duel
other guy was nyx
just hides until cooldown, then bail until win

turns out having someone be invulnerable in a game about killing people is fucking bullshit and whoever came up with this idea needs to be fucking fired

Argonian maid skin for Sorlag when?

i alwasy thought he said 'i am leet' or 'anarchy'

Why are afps players so often junkies? Is it the genre or just coincidence?

"You think you own the sidewalk"

What the fuck is Epic doing. Even bringing Ripper back was a better idea than making a fucking grenade launcher.

youtube.com/watch?v=T6de3nqBpFs
raff tier list:
1. visor
2. razor
3. grunt
4. biker
5. doom
6. keel
choking on a rice bowl - xaero

They got rid of the biorifle? What the actual fuck.

Is overheating and no impact hammer in FFA still a thing?

Wait what the fuck? Overheating?
You're giving me reasons to not download it again and I'm halfway there

>removing the Green Exploding Shit rigle

epic isn't even shooting themselves in the foot anymore, they're walking into their own shock combo

>not including lucy's HAHA YEAH
>not including hunter's unbelievably cute giggle

you make your own girl raff list

1. hunter
2. slash
3. lucy
4. major
5. no one gives a fuck about the rest (and crash doesn't have a laugh)

they added overheating to the link gun a while ago

fun game i spent a lot of my childhood playing

rip

WAKE UP SHEEPLE
ID don't care about game balance
They added an OP ability in order to promote/sell another video game
ITS TIME TO WAKE UP
they don't care about you
NEXT CHAMPION WILL BE DOOMGUY TO PROMOTE A DOOM EXPANSION

WAKE UP

>TO PROMOTE A DOOM EXPANSION
so long as its not multiplayer its fine

quake champions is shit, boring and its dead on arrival

next champion should be doom anyways

> active is four powerups rolled into one
> only passive that lets you get more verticailty than anyone without weapons
> passive make building up speed faster and easier
> only one with an active icon that is straight up the character themself
nyx is a narcissist character for narcissist people

also fuck this netcode
this is not 25 ping
this is something between 20 and 150
and changes every fucking half second

inconsistency across the board and bad spawn points: the game
second time i drop this game what the fuck is wrong with the devs

Thanks BJ for allowing a noob like me to shred people in duels

I almost feel bad since he is obviously broken and i win way more than i should with my noob skills

I think it was more business than 'they don't care about Quake'. Releasing BJ then and there helped push another one of their IPs and I assume they will pump out more marketing in the next few months.

Some of these duels in the 125fps cup have actually been fun to watch.

Do they still have their servers in debug mode for developing the game? Apparently that's the reason for much of the shit netcode ( according to syncError ). Don't know how much of a lie that is or not.

d44m expansion won't happen because Hayden sent doomguy to the arena eternal

since we're being degenerate I would still like sorlag to be male

although her current voice is great

Sorlag exerting dominance through devouring an Argonian maid when?

Good news, someone on FA just submitted more male Sorlag porn yesterday.

fucking plebs

does nobody remember fritzkrieg?
wolfenstein is not new to quake

>tfw you're awful at fpses but still topfragging every game
is this what the QC team was going for?

Google didn't help.

How do I change QC's install directory in the launcher?
I could have sworn I did this the first time I installed but I can't figure it out now.

> all sorlag lewds is either with dicks or boobs, never properly lizardy

it should ask you for the directory when you try to install it, doesn't it?

i'm glad youre enjoying the game user. Maybe BJ will allow more new players to compete as well.

kill me

i guess nobody told the devs that noob-friendly means powerful, which in turn means utter decimation when used by a pro

QC feels more and more like the Devs have no clue what they are doing.
