So what's this about Reflex's community abandoning it?

Post dank custom maps

Wow thanks definitely-not-Todd! I'm glad AFPS is saved!

>37 fps
are you ok

I honestly wish I fucking knew what he's talking about. I've been playing since ver 0.37 (late 2015) and I don't remember there being a significant outrage about the update that included official timers whatsoever.

I started doubting myself when I saw this vid if I remembered that update properly or not, so I asked the others in discord as well. As I expected, they told me that a few people got angry about it but that it didn't really have a significant effect on the playerbase. The only concrete evidence I found of people getting angry was in an ESR thread (esreality.com/post/2735793/), but people on ESR like to get angry.

If you want my take on it, I think this guy overreacted and felt like timers were the direction the game was heading, despite Newborn's statement about wanting to make a "lockhud" callvote command. Little would he know that upon the integration of matchmaking that timers would only be allowed in Casual, and even then that they'd be disabled by default for new players. To be frank, I honestly forgot timers were ever a thing until recently when I looked through all my widgets while remaking my hud.

It was recorded and made on a Portuguese potato.

Hey downloaded the CPMA pack from the pastebin, anyone know how to set the resolution to 1080p?

r_mode 3 iirc

Cheers

How do they hope to fix RL if netcode is total trash?

37 fps sums up reflex
they decided to go with no textures but if you want to add any detail to maps it will kill performance for basic things that could be accomplished with textures

Bump

Why do we keep dying?

Not enough JCVD

We don't have all that much to talk about. Till Quakecon we are in a kind of stasis.

>Rei

What would his stats/ability/passive be in QC?

PATCH FUCKING WHEN

I have no witty joke only a (you)

Meant to reply to this post fugg I'm retarded ;_;

yeeessssssss

guys remember what happened to D44M
it was a shitshow on E3
then they did *something*
and then the game was gud
what if they do the same to quake

did they pull those patch notes out of their ass?

quakejs.com/

>Nu-male doom
>gud

>QC: Developed mostly by the company that has brought you such excellent titles as: RIPD the game, battle los angeles, and coming soon Shaq fu: a legend reborn. The id team is led by Timmy "pic related" willits and Syncerror
>D44M: Developed 100% in house by id and the team was directed by id's current Directive lead Marty Stratton

id's A-team must be working on Doom2, cause even with all the shit at E3, the Beta for D44M was pretty fun and the marketing was outstanding.

It was better than the Call of Doom we were going to get desu.

You better not disagree kiddo or else you're gonna get memed

>When Saber sends its people, they're not sending their best...

Move ^ ^ here and you would've had a perfect penta composed of 5s

Bump

Who here is going to Quakecon?

If they hand out vouchers for some dumb cosmetic, you better bring enough home for the entire general

Do you have a pic of the cosmetic?

wrong image.

I wish I could. I live in Europe so the flight would already cost 100 euros.
Also i'm poorfag :^(

"If". The cosmetic is theoretical

>tfw 30-ish miles from Quakecon
It's supposed to start right when Uni starts though so I wasn't planning on going but if there is something worthwhile I might try and go.

>tfw you gib your opponent with a rocket

...

I'm definitely going, just haven't decided if I'm making a long drive or flying yet.

I'll see what I can do for my /arena/ niggas.

Bump

...

bump

huh huh huh poofkr poofkr boom boom woof peew bweem peew bweem huh huh huh

what kind of OC should I make? Also does anybody have the song I and 2 other Anons made ( straight out of ID tech )

No word from ut devs since the patch on the 12th of july. They are every day in discord but never say anything lmao.
Game is gonna get canceled, calling it.

I'd like to play the game without having to deal with garbage tier projectiles, hitboxes and netcode to be quite honest family.

[Doomguy verse]

Straight outta ID Tech, crazy motherfucker named Doom Guy
From the gang called Protagonists With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
The Devs are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
Cacodemons start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
With a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
With a crime record like Charles Manson
Super Shotgun is the tool
Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin Cacodemons out tha lock box, daily
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
Until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
That I'm down with the capital H-E-L
Boy you can't fuck with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Cause Doom Guy is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
But when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta ID Tech

I saved em and was going to put them in a pastebin as "The three verses of /arena/" or some shit like that.

Ranger verse]

Yo, Ranger! (Whassup?)
Tell 'em where you from!

Straight outta ID Tech, another crazy ass nigga
More shamblers I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
I'm a bad motherfucker, and you know this
But the pussy-ass shamblers won't show this
But I don't give a fuck, I'ma make my snaps
If not from the records, from fragging or gibs
Just like killing, the definition is fragging
And when I'm legally armed it's called packing
Shoot a scrag in a minute
I find a good piece of pussy and go up in it
So if you're at a show in the front row
I'ma call you a bitch or dirty-ass ho
You'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to
But that shows me, slut, you're composed to
A crazy motherfucker from the slipgate
Attitude legit, ‘cause I'm tearing up shit
MC Ranger controls the automatic
For any dumb shambler that starts static
Not the right hand, ‘cause I'm the hand itself
Every time I pull an railgun off the shelf
The security is maximum, and that's a law
R-A-N-G-E-R spells Ranger, but I'm raw
See, ‘cause I'm the motherfucking villain
The definition is clear, you're the witness of a fraggin'
That's taking place without a clue
And once you're on the scope, your ass is through
Look, you might take it as a trip
But a nigga like Ranger is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta ID Tech

that's super autistic

Blazkowicz is his name, and the boy is coming…


…Straight outta ID Tech
Is an american that'll smother your mother
And make your sister think I love her
Dangerous motherfucker raising hell
And if I ever get caught, I make bail
See, I don't give a fuck, that's the problem
I see a motherfucking scalebearer, I don't dodge him
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see a scalebearer pass, I smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showing a scalebearer driving
But don't know where the fuck he's strafing, just charging
Looking for the one they call BJ
But here's a flash, they'll never seize me
Ruthless, never seen, like a shadow in the dark
Except when I unload
You see a spark and jump over hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who got the LG penetration
Feel a little gust of wind and I'm jetting
But leave a memory no one'll be forgetting
So what about the Nyx who got shot? Fuck her!
You think I give a damn about a Nyx? I ain't a sucker
This is an autobiography of the B
And if you ever fuck with me
You'll get taken by a dual wielding brother who will smother
Word to the motherfucker, straight outta ID Tech

There it is, credit to the super dope Anons from the oaktown

But it fits really well honestly, if you think about it NWA kicked off Gangsta-Rap then Blazko, Doomguy, and Ranger kicked off Shooters and AFPS as we know it today. It's a really nice parallel.

also super autistic

yeah that's the stuff

If you want to play real duel, play QL or UT4. Not the joke of a """""duel"""" in QC.

It's not my complaint my man, I just thought it was funny so I made a robot say it on vocaroo and shitposted it on here

the guy is saying: i'm not good but I should win anyways

Where was this? ID forums?
Yeah, guy says he's pretty decently skilled because he gets top 3 in FFA and public TDM "often", lol.

>ut4

pretty good watch

I wish quad wasn't in dm

Bump

You always happen to bump at the same time I do, user are you stalking me?

>Image
Nani?

Yeah I'm confused too, dunno why the thumbnail is like that...

Who is best murderbot and why is it Xan?

glonald glumpf would shill QC because his brother owns part of zionmax

Does his brother really own part of Zenimax? Or are you meming me?

...

As someone who has never played quake should I even bother trying to play QC? I haven't played an fps on pc in a few years.

zenimax.com/about
board of directors

try the free games in the pastebin instead

It's buggy at the moment but kinda fun

remove sorlag's spit
make nyx vulnerable while invis
keep clutch's dash as is but remove his shield and give him the same health/armor as scale
make sorlag and anarchy not spaz out while A D spamming

game fixed

I think I'm going to try out QC instead since I already had it downloaded but never bothered to play it

I just want to shoot people so if its fun I'm down to give it a try

it's fun
keep in mind projectiles are drawn client side but are actually server side

splash damage and directs are fucked

QL is fairly populated but costs money. Like said there are alot of free games in the OP: CPMA is fun and they have a Discord server if your looking to learn about the game or get picked up for a game, QW and Q2 are less populated but are classics, there is ofc QC if you can handle buggy bs that makes you want to flip your comp table. Your biggest disadvantage is that no matter which one you choose there are dudes who know the game really well, but we have guides in the OP and the Anons here are usually pretty good with advice. Welcome to /arena/

Nyx needs to become a Medium champ if she is going to be vulnerable in invis. I'm fine with everything else

agreed

post your mouse

I've got the same mouse except the Logitech logo on mine is worn down to the bare metal underneath from years of use.

>tfw I have most of the hardware that is in the "pro quake gamer" meme picture

too bad I don't have it or I'd post it

>tfw she becomes Thyx
