Proudest moment of my life

FUCKING TIM

Looks like we're waiting another 3 hours, lads.

Sorry for the wait, but we estimate another +3 hours for #Quake Champions patch deployment. So we're looking for servers to be back ONLINE at 3:00 PM EST. Thanks for your patience!

>another 3 hours

TIIIIIIIIIIIM

HAHAHA
HAHA

HELP ME

>+3 hours

ree

>was a so very salt over having to read posts of /arena/ having fun while i sat stuck on campus
>read about delay

Give me the answers to the Exam TA-kun

At least tell me that the plus three hours started at noon

>Slash
>Forward Acceleration added, increasing from the base speed of 310 to 400 ups
WAT?? 400 ups base speed is insane
Imagine the gauntlet harassment potential.

gauntlet range and RoF got nerfed
thank god

There are quite a few changes to the movement system this patch. I think it's hard to say anything about it until we've tried it.

>page 10
God dammit Tim

>download update
>servers are dead

Wonder if this got fixed

It's finally up!!

>$10 for fucking hats
>no other way to unlock it

my.mixtape.moe/klmwtx.webm
somehow he's my most played champ now

>Ranked only available for duel
whyyyy

>wanting ranked play for casual joke modes like tdm

Why?

TDM

>TF2-style whimsical retardation and zany hats
Oh fuck no
Quake doesn't deserve this

What the fuck
Why have you never played any mode other than TDM?
I bet always with a premade, too. Fucking fraud

HUMILIATION

Every QL server I've joined in the past year allows Mario and Sonic skins. And windows paperclip.

You can't count non-official stuff...HDoom and /pol/.wad don't reflect poorly on id, official christmas hats for Quake characters do

This is the first time in Quake the "serious" tone tone is officially broken

QL already had Santa and Christmas Hunter skins for the season plus Q3 had those crappy models of its devs

Alive game

It may not be official, but my gaming experience is nonetheless decidedly "unserious" if the only populated dm servers at a given time are filled with custom skins/sounds.

It was always thus

i always play alone you nigger
dm was, is and always will be a cancerous shitfest
sac never pops
was never interested in duel
ctf doesn't exist yet

my.mixtape.moe/lusjpu.webm
q4 railgun

Q4 Rail looks shitty IMO
Should be slightly less stubby

wow that is ugly

>my.mixtape.moe/lusjpu.webm (embed)
Looks literally worse than it did in Q4 12 years ago
Congrats idSaber

pretty much all the weapon skins look worse than the original

Sacrifice would be cool

they made it look like a pistol
it's like they didnt even look at the original

LG feels a lot better. So nice.

I always have a killer time in Sacrifice. It's a good game mode. I should play it more often. It would be good for ranked.

>29%

They reworked rune page skins. Added some animations. Looks a lot better now.

>you actually need a beefy machine to play this

Aw, man.

Slash nerf was way overboard, wholly unnecessary

is LG fixed?

100%

How bad is it?

>keeps crashing to desktop when starting
thanks Tim

>All the weapon skins look worse than the original
>Q2 rail
>Q1 NG
TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING

whoever said that lootbox contents are predetermined:
you were wrong nigger

reduced top speed and reduced accel in crouchslide, can't make half the jumps as before, etc. while basically everything else got a buff. bad.

>rocket champions unchanged
epic

fug... there goes that flashy b2r

Anyone else getting sound issues? Pickup sounds, weapon swap sounds, I'm not hearing them anymore. Throwing me of when picking items up

Whoever came up with the champion difficulties for the character select screen was high off their mind

How the fuck is BJ "Medium" difficulty
How is Anarki "hard"
Even with regular WASD he's unga and hard to hit, so maybe it's because you need to bhop with him
>but Sorlag needs to bhop but is marked as "easy"
>Galena marked as "Medium"

These don't make any sense

They confirmed that lootboxes were selected at time of openning, a long time ago.

Is it me or does BJ start screaming when he's low on health?

explain how i got new cosmetics and shaders from them then?
fuck off

yeah they both look like shitty chinese knockoffs

gauntlet range is now so bad that I was hugging 2 enemies and didn't get a single hit in
nice

yes

yep, under 25 health. it's awkward af

fuckyes the LG and Nailgun feels so good now.

That's exactly why you got the shaders. Because the game determines at the time that you open the boxes, not when you get the boxes.
Or did you not read the post, you fucking dumbass?

no better way to come out of a 3 month hiatus than getting matched with quake celebs and getting absolutely dumpstered

I just came in to ask, how's the update so far?

new map is shit
keel is shit
xmas weapon shaders are shit

Yeah this Forward Acceleration is insignificant.

seems to be running smoothly
The added hp and armor was a good change

calm down

Keel is OK. Mid tier defensive character. Grens are great to be an annoying asshole defending the point on Sac

He will probably be ignored on Duel

If you are saying Q1 NG looks bad either you are delusional nostalgiafag or you are trying to hold on your retarded arguments.

So if I play now how many Anarki's and Doom's am I expecting to see per match?
Is it "play Quake Live until next update" time again?

Depends on the character
It's very significant with Bearer

Really? The speed gain is so slow though, or is it different with different champs?

Just got a nailgun god with an Anarki and a Nyx on the other team. Can confirm the nailgun is feeling better

>they removed stockholm server
feels bad dudes

>Keel's default skin is named Revenant.
They know.
