A place to discuss all of your favorite old-school and modern arena shooters such as Quake Live, Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament, Reflex, etc.
Q:C News: in next patch: various weapon/champion rebalance (rumors for same base speed and hard cap speed for every champ, also introducing various soft cap accelerations), 2v2 and Instagib. Anarki is crying in the corner like a little bitch. Current patch notes here: bethesda.net/community/topic/186034/patch-notes-early-access-update-25-01-18
first for not reinstalling until they add my perfect waifu
Angel Morris
how noticable is this effect? is it linear or is it always "more is better", or perhaps there are diminishing returns after a certain fps? i can uncap the fps and get a consistent 300fps. should i run it at 300fps then? would it be noticably different if i ran at say 144 fps? or 200, etc? and yes i did read your post, i know you said that frames should be as high and stable as possible. i just dont like the idea of taxing my hardware more than it needs to be so if the difference between 144fps vs 300fps is something like 1% then its not worth it for me. thanks for the info
effect is very very tiny unless you're using vsync stuff
Grayson Bell
vsync is off. you mean the effect in general is tiny(uncapping and playing at 300 fps on 60hz monitor), or the effect is tiny with 144fps vs 300fps or similar numbers?
Isaiah Gray
it's always tiny. difference between being in the worst case scenario and best case scenario is in the "mouse hardware input delay" range.
Aiden Taylor
Does anyone know when the next update is?
Elijah Stewart
alright thanks
Owen Miller
this month, so in the next 2 weeks

Well... any news about Diabolical or 2GD gave up?
James Gonzalez
>Diabotical* I'm goof
Parker Gomez
>diabetescal what was 2gd thinking when he named the game?
Levi Johnson
2gd is never going to release it now that QC is out and trashed his only market.
Leo Fisher

Dylan Thomas
I think they aim for a beta this year but idk. desu it looks fun but I'm not sure it looks more fun than Q:C.
Joshua Martinez
He said in his stream something about stress testing with some pro players and then with the beta tester sometime after the summer. You can find all updates in the official diabotical discord.
Zachary Gutierrez
With beta testers I mean the people who pledged enough money at the kickstarter for a copy of the game.

Does Toxikk have any players?
Dominic Stewart
Yeah, averages between 3 and 16 player matches throughout the day with like 15 games constantly.
Samuel Price
>sorlag, clutch, nyx meta gay
Julian Gutierrez
Clutch nerfs confirmed, speed cap on dash and stair-dash won't work anymore as it used to.
Juan Sanders
Nerfing something fun sounds like the worst thing a game developer could do to their game. Would we have skiiing and strafe jumping today if fun got nerfed 15-20 years ago?
Jack Evans
HUH
Charles Foster
how many are we dealing with? Quake seems like a pretty clean group

Hunter Cox
I'm sorry they should get a pat on the back after going -3/27 and a pin that says 'you did your best!' how about some milk and cookies too
Sebastian Wilson
Yeah, that would be much nicer.
I think that you should get some perspective if you get angry with someone just because they're a new or bad player. Think over what's important in life, and all that.
David Fisher
>not playing duel Just uninstall the game already scrub

this kind of behavior is why your generation will grow up to become fucking spineless pussy crybabies show your elite badge nigger

Nathan Russell
Reminder that ultrawide support should be removed from Quake.
Jacob Nguyen
After seeing all the moba/CRAPCUNTS threads back when I used to play that shit, seeing an actual sane post like this is like a breath of fresh air after getting pulled out of freezing lake. Thanks user.
Owen Wood

Isaac Clark
of all the fights to pick, why pick this fight?
Wyatt Bennett
unless they cap clutch to something mundane like 700 ups (unlikely), the clutch "nerfs" aren't going to change clutch significantly. The 1800+ ups Clutch rockets off of stairs with scroll wheel binds isn't the thing that makes DaHanG duel/2v2 clutch powerful. Clutch is still going to be as fun after as he is now.
Joshua Peterson
pretty much what i was thinking. so long as it's something like 1300+ ups cap, it won't matter too much
Angel Bell
Sync is thinking of making shield and laser duration shared. That is, you don't get extra time with a laser toggle This will completely change Duel Clutch
Nicholas Miller
Quake Rally already existed 20 years ago dude

I think there's a point where id software is just out to fuck with strenx >clips.twitch .tv/ComfortableRudeFriesNomNom
it's like a cartoon
Isaac Thomas
I got this bug on a Duel against a guy 800MMR lower than me and had to quit. At the level I was at it would take ~6 victories to earn back the MMR I lost against the usual matchmaking suspects I lost the will to play for a good 3 days after it happened
Tyler Mitchell
Did they say in the dev stream when they expect the next patch? Should be this week, right?
What ability do you think they'll give hunter? Passive and active. I think it's gotta be something amazonian.
Ian Thompson
>I think there's a point where id software is just out to fuck with strenx Honestly. Considering how Strenx puts on a show and how often sync stops by his stream... I wouldn't doubt they're fucking with him. I can imagine syncerror laughing his ass off at this clip.
Christopher Evans
Oh, I just saw it, 22nd apparently.
Samuel Gomez
It would be fun if they gave her something actually thematic to hunting Like, you pop her active and it randomly picks a weapon - Your next kill must be with that weapon If you pull it off, you gain some sort of bonus. Perhaps a full heal, or a max health increase Could be useful even in Duel
Justin Davis
>What ability do you think they'll give hunter? Passive and active. I think it's gotta be something amazonian. I want them to give her an Aerial Jump where she jumps up into the air super fast then can hover and control 360 degrees at 2x ground speed. Then press her active again and she drops down to the ground. Passive "Takes 20% less damage when airborn" or something like that.
Carter Thomas
came back to qc after like 3 months of inactivity and i can actually hit rails, rockets, nails and lg what the fuck happened and not just hitbox/netcode improvements, i can track people now whereas previously my mouse felt like it was dragging some weight around
Jason Diaz
that's stupid
Thomas Foster
The last patch really made a big difference I feel. Especially with LG. pic related is supposed to be the next patch.
Liam Morales
Now all they need is to thiccify her model so as to actually match these hitboxes
Zachary Gonzalez
lol
Chase Reed
this is a no-lol zone
seconded
Nathan Perry
do we have pictures for all of these?
Matthew Myers
Damn. I guess EXTRA THICC is the way to go then HUH?
Just the few in the first minutes of twitch.tv /videos/229658287
Chase Walker
oh my god they need to fix this prediction- projectile shit rockets, nails, don't even render in short distances before they hit you. the shooter is predicting, but the victim feels like they're getting hit by hitscan. They need to up the fire delay or something, right now if the shooter has just enough ping they're rockets are simply impossible to dodge.
Kayden Hernandez
That's the price you pay for client-side hitreg: The ability to dodge stuff on reaction Delay on your shots like classic netcode from Quake 1 to 4 adds some annoyance to the act of shooting but makes the gameworld solid and far more "trustworthy"
Lincoln Jones
>decide to reinstall toxikk >finished installing >8 FPS ON THE MAIN FUCKING MENU AND 15 INGAME
I HAVE A 1080 AND 32 GIGS OF RAM WHAT THE ACTUAL ANUS
Lucas Torres
You're stupid.
Jackson Garcia
Oh shit, I missed the first few minutes of stream, I didn't realize they were so important.
Phase 2 netcode improvements when? Like, 90% of my complaints might disappear with that update. At the very least it feels good knowing that they even have a phase 2 planned.
Owen Sanchez
I was at Goodwill when all of a sudden
Colton Barnes
motherfucker
Ryan Lee
counterpoint: i'm stupid, but not as stupid as you
Ayden Rogers
>these pubes I wouldn't buy that. That's obviously what Tim was wearing when he was servicing Todd
Logan Clark
Tim wears a small?
David King
He's a manlet, dude
Christian Gonzalez
I think it's a promotional items because the one in the Bethesda store doesn't say this stupid shit on the back
William Myers
what if no patch this month? what if no patch until May? do you think the game will survive in its current state?
William Cox
Even sabre (sorry) can manage monthly updates.
Hunter Richardson
She's a fucking amazon what else she could have Passive: 30% higher jumps (because dem long legs) Active: Debilitating poison - 3 poisonus darts (fast as nails) dealing 20 dmg DoT over 5 sec increasing damage against hit targets 20%. Additional dmg boost/dart DoT do not stack up on single target.
Cameron Parker
why does everyone suggest poison/DoT shit for hunter? her whole design idea was a frazetta/bisley-esque tower of tits, ass and muscle from a visually-dated/amazonian tribe who was still somehow familiar with sci-fi stuff, from the rivalry with the sorg to the giant stompy metal boots to her multiple chat lines referencing her love of the lightning gun
Jordan Gray
good point, he needs a child large
Noah Brown
Why is my QC rail accuracy still not on the same level as my QL rail accuracy The netcode feels good but I constantly miss rails I'd hit in QL Is it just the hitboxes or am I a gaylord
Hunter Phillips
Variable champion speed, hitbox size, acceleration, etc. It's harder to acquire consistency than in QL
Zachary Gray
hitboxes aren't consistent and there's a few odd pieces out there right now (vertical on doomguy, galena) but overall QC hitboxes are more generous but you're dealing with a significantly more variable game
Andrew Morris

Christopher Hall
>CA basically confirmed. >QC going to end up basically CA only just like QL. I wish SyncError would realize this.
David Thompson
>CA queue force-grouped with regular queue
William Gomez
This is the only way I see CA not killing QC is if the autoplay list forces players to rotate between TDM, CTF, CA. But if players can just select CA, and that's it. that's all that's going to get played.
Grayson Harris
Or maybe they compromise. CA in QC doesn't give you max armor, stack, and while it does give you all weapons, it only gives you 1/3rd starting ammo and makes you have to pick up weapons and ammo cans.
