Quake Champions closed beta signup: quake.bethesda.net/en/signup QC beta is now 24/7. The beta is no longer under NDA. UT4 Patch Notes: youtube.com/watch?v=rNE1XN6E1Cc Quake Champions interview with Zero4 and Tim Willits: twitch dot tv/videos/144807974 twitch dot tv/videos/144852481
I want Quake Champions to have guest characters from other IPs, but that would make the game even more broken and harder to "balance" than it already is.
>that face when no Gordon Freeman with his jump pack module as his active skill and having slightly increased resistances to environmental hazards as his passive >my feel when no Xan Kriegor or Malcolm or Gorge or Brock with OP shit
Caleb Howard
yeah right they should add dragonborn to this game lmao))))00
Logan Collins
Wait, why the fug is Vore Tournament in the OP?
Chase Perez
:^)
Brody Morris
Does strike vector count as an arena "fps"? What about that new Descent game? I hear the devs have been pushing it into an """"esport"""" despite the fans of the franchise wanting a nice and polished singleplayer experience
Chase Turner
Reflex devs said they're adding moving brushes. Iirc. It was quite recent too so maybe next patch. Why would you use pervious technology if it's bad technology? If a team of 2-3 people can out do a large studio why even bother with the old? It really makes no sense.
Joshua Bell
People talk about, zfps (fps with a large degree of vertical elements), arenafps (mainly pickups, some element of speed and a similar spawn situation seem to define the genre) and battle arenas (Tf2, Lawbreakers, Battlerite). Battle arenas are just games that are contexted by an arena. Mobas generally aren't included because their world extends into purchases and such. Afps is generally what this general is about but i feel we should expand. Zfps is more like a definition of a mechanic in these games.
Brandon Cruz
Wait a minute these aren't anything alike.
Gabriel Sullivan
it's based on the quake ET redesign
Ryder Jones
>wickland It's dead. But it's also 0.5€ Is it worth it? I could buy 10 copies and throw them at bums hoping they'd play with me.
Christian Adams
arenakino on sale for the low price of $1.25
Hudson Moore
Exactly. No reason to ask me, I wouldn't know, but ZeniMax might.
>hoping they'd play with me You better ask them if they would before you do it, the chances of them saying yes is kinda low (unless they're already into afps)
Oliver Cox
Fuck, didn't mean to send that image I was going to ask for help with the error but I found a solution already
Kevin Moore
do you want to duel user
Leo Bailey
Reflex is already dead. They should give up and find new jobs. It's not their fault, but they should know when to quit.
Nolan Thomas
After the last patch the game works better I think.
Toxikk has more players joining a game, trying it for a few minutes and then leaving.
Anthony Cooper
But how come; wasn't Reflex the game those guys at esreality wanted? I think Reflex is as pure as it gets when it comes to arena shooters in the current years, and no other game comes close yet.
Ryder Sanchez
>wasn't Reflex the game those guys at esreality wanted? Haven't heard of this, when did this happen? >I think Reflex is as pure as it gets when it comes to arena shooters in the current years That's exactly the problem, it's too pure. For people like us, that's a good thing, but it's not good for building a bigger playerbase.
Angel James
i still dont understand why they made QL paid for its not like they still work on it
Jacob Bailey
>linking cpm and not reflex MOOODS
Jaxon Price
Notice how all the games linked are free
Jayden Edwards
Reflex is like 15 dollars, go suck some guys dick for 10 minutes or something. It has active devs, matchmaking, graphics, easier accessibility, and in game map making.
Joseph Cooper
>inactive in quake >quakefriends remove you r-ree
Luis Thomas
I've made new friends in QC!
Connor Carter
Gauntlet is pretty fucking strong now. It was OP, then nerfed to be useless, now it's deadly in close combat too.
Nathaniel Howard
All that, but no playerbase
Brandon Ramirez
How long till my old friends add me back ;__;
James Sullivan
deal with it nerd there's only free games in the OP
Daniel Wright
Wtf move to a first world country, australia for unskilled labor.
> Our immediate focus is on improving the performance, network code, and stability of the game and implementing our latest gameplay balances hope
Austin Gutierrez
>considering ranked/unranked separation great idea, let's divide the small playerbase as much as possible
Adam Long
Steam confirmed
Jaxon Johnson
> clutch mobility, active, and passive buffs in the works > SNG to plasmagun function wise woah what
Joseph Wilson
>Can we get an official explanation on how hitboxes work? >Hitboxes are lower-poly versions of the Champion’s actual model, not simple cylinder or box constructions. These low-poly hitboxes move and animate in sync with their characters, and most importantly are unaffected by vanity costumes and attachments. We have full control to increase or decrease their thickness individually per Champion as needed for balancing reasons. For the most part, what you see is what you get, and you can shoot between a Champion’s legs or under their arms, but if a character is too hard to hit we can fill in that area to increase their hit volume. Why ID why that is fucking stupid, it works in a slower paced game but in quake everybody is zipping around the last thing I need is a shot passing through someones legs.
Ethan Rivera
> steam users don't need to go through the bethesda launcher good putting your game behing multiple launchers is fucking stupid
they also said they were going to redo animations hopefully to make people hold still instead of spazz around when taking a single step
Justin Young
it's time to kiss ass and chew bubblegum, and i'm all out of gum
Gabriel Butler
> armor never drops below 25 so a permanent 66% damage resistance? what the fuck are you smoking, that's triple health for a passive that you don't even need more pickups to get back to full are you trying to make BJ 2.0
Cameron Gutierrez
>Seriously what's up with the pots? >AP: They will serve a particular purpose. We’ll hold on to that one for now. Dude what, what pots?
Liam Cook
Ohh yeah there are pots in blood covenant right?
Logan James
in blood and ruins there are these pots which you can break by walking through. They use to have 5 AP em in the first beta now they are useless.
Adam Ramirez
BALLSBALLSBALLSBALLSBALLSBALLSBALLSBALLS
Ethan Gutierrez
just give everyone cylinder hitboxes ffs. Diabotical got it right in just making the hitboxes a sphere. No '''lean''' issues, no shooting through legs. You hit the circle on your screen, you get a hit.
William Fisher
why do all the 'we're totally going to revive arena shooters you guys' have nothing but robots?
Tyler Roberts
Easier to animate
Brayden Ross
looks like brightskin keel
Charles Nelson
Is it just me or is slash too squishy? She gets dumpstered compared to mediums/tanks and doesn't seem to compare to anarki who goes fast as fuck without effort and is way harder to kill
She's a load of fun but I die a lot when I play her, i'm also far from the greatest crouchslider though; it's hard to do right while firing
Joseph Cox
She got buffed and used to be weaker
Austin Gonzalez
Damn, no reload timers? That doesn't look balanced at all, in theory at least. How is it in practice?
Xavier Gomez
>i'm also far from the greatest crouchslider though; it's hard to do right while firing you need to know when not to crouchslide, also slash needs to be balanced around very good crouchsliding because of it's a higher skill ceiling than normal movement
Jordan Gray
>pick galena on stutterbox/lockscreen >do nothing but camp rail, nail gun and red armor with land mines >level 3's keep walking into the landmines, 21/6 at the end
guess this game isn't complete trash
Gavin Nelson
> camps quad room as galena you are the trash can't do anything without that constant 100 armor and monopoly over RG
Ryder Edwards
>tfw lobbing totems onto people in the middle of a firefight
Sebastian Mitchell
>maintaining item control is for noobs
hey there's this really fun game called overwatch, you should check it out!
Tyler Turner
Why do you all hate Overwatch so much? Its not trying to be the next Quake or whatever. Arena FPS was sadly dead before that game even came out.
Not saying you can't dislike a game, but do you all hate it just because it is easy to learn?
Asher Long
> literally camping one half of a room with sightlines to every corner of the map and slapping 60dmg landmines on the only other entrance to said room good map and good control breh
Nolan Parker
...
Gavin Ramirez
you sit in spawn for a minute, find a bunch of fucks grouped up and hit Q to kill everything
Evan Anderson
it's the worst parts of LoL and tf2 combined both games I've played to death
Daniel Perez
It's just mediocrity made manifest. The games industry is struggling to put out compelling, worthwhile content, and overwatch 100% embodies that.
>all the characters have the personality of a cardboard cutout >every ability is either a "I win" button or get-out-of-jail-free card >reinhardt's massive shield takes away about 90% of aim >most abilities aren't difficult to use, and in general are unintuitive >little to not interesting movement mechanics
the game in general is too complex to just play casually, but too skill capped to seriously have a go at. I got high masters in the last two seasons before I decided to play other games some more.
Jonathan Rivera
not exactly quake but this should explain a lot
Jace Allen
funny people post this about tf2 when they were filthy cocksuckers that defended removal of grenades, speed caps on bhops, and other shit like feigning death
Jacob Garcia
removal of other shit*
Cameron Fisher
you cant even really rocket jump as pharah either, you can only give your shift ability a little extra boost with a rocket
Because Overwatch went full fuckin retard and restricted 21:9 aspect ratio because "BUT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAJAGIZE ARENT FAIIIIRRRR."
Actual retard level arguments that anyone with half a fuckin brain can realize why 21:9 wont do shit to help someone play better in an FPS muhcless a slow ass hero FPS like Overtwatch. Literally no pro player in ANY competitive Esports has ever used a 21:9 monitor. Not one. Not a single god damned pro player has used one, because it doesn't help them. But you want a 240hz competitive advantage? GO FOR IT! Literally every pro FPS And MOBA player has at least a 144hz display.
But no, it's the 21:9 that's "unfair." "because most people don't have them" Yeah 90% of the player base still uses 60hz displays, you dumb fucks, were's the manditory 60hz lock you assholes?
Blizzard went full fuckin retard.
Meanwhile we ask for 21:9 support in fuckin quake and they don't make excuses or make up bullshit. They just added it, they just made it so you can play from 4:3 to full blow fucking eyefinity if you wanted. They don't give a shit.
They know better than to pull retarded shit like Overwatch did.
Everyone can fuckin tell immediately why 144hz or 240hz monitor is a competitive advantage in FPS games, but OW doesnt restrict that? Not only that, but their balance team is actually made up of Downies. I swear to god. The D.Va Nerfs and refusing to even address her issues. Fuck you blizzard.
Roadhog remaining BROKEN AS FUCK for 9 months, and they say he is ok. Why the fuck does bastion even exist? Like he's not even a character whos strong, he's just retardedly designed.
Not to mention the whole "press q and win!" level of game mastery.
Robert Cooper
tl;dr
Joseph Baker
The developers are dumb/Shit's broken
Julian Gonzalez
even during the game's early development, they were unsure if giving options to turn down music would be fair. apparently, turning music off grants you the unfair advantage of being able to hear other things better
