A place to discuss all of your favorite old-school and modern arena shooters such as Quake Live, Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament, Reflex, etc.
>QuakeNews QC Update has moved from February to March 15 (at least devs aim for it), chances for same base speeds/diffrent acceleration values/no hard cap speed across all champions, certainly there will be 2v2 and instagib gamemodes. High chances for crashes to be eliminated from the game. Devs ask to "be patient". Current patch notes here: bethesda.net/community/topic/186034/patch-notes-early-access-update-25-01-18
>DUSKNews The DUSKWorld 1v1 actually happened it but it seems like there was no stream and it was all about discord lurkers (statement for this is: "Spectator wasn't ready yet", "this is sort of a prototype tourny" etc.) Episode 3 "soon™", DUSKWorld is "still in beta"
finally, fuck. fresh thread made it all the way to page 7. you guys gotta step it up; the games population isnt huge but its certainly enough to keep a thread going >need a break isnt that a kitkat bar thing?

HUH...huh
Juan Gonzalez
post some cool weebums! all you good players must have some cool footage laying around somewhere? is everyone dead or something
Chase Russell
yeah

I just can't populate this general 24/7 like I used to be able to populate other generals of games I used to participate in.
>Movement tied to FPS why are people just now waking up to this? I was shouting this from the rooftops months ago. Gods, I hate people. It's why I kept saying /nothing else matters right now until they fix this core flaw/
Hit registration needs a phase 2. Movement is getting a complete overhaul. Expect a major netcode redo in between. This game is as far from a playable state as it was in the CBT. I can force everyone else's FPS to less than 5 in a match at will! I love Quake dearly- but Strenx has always been right.
Charles Thompson
>why are people just now waking up to this? I was shouting this from the rooftops months ago. Gods, I hate people. It's why I kept saying /nothing else matters right now until they fix this core flaw/ cause the video got posted to ribbit. apparently it is different on the PTS. they are saying its still there in some way, but its not the same as in the video at all.
Bentley Moore
>Gods, I hate people. thanks galena >I can force everyone else's FPS to less than 5 in a match at will! go on
Owen Thomas
>go on i think he means shooting the eye on sarnath. it causes fps drops for everyone in the match

Julian Garcia
don't shoot it, just jump next to it on the quad side

HUH
Tyler Sullivan
And that is how little strogg are made.
Leo Gutierrez
that makes it worse? did you mean literally 5 fps? i was messin around with my stream/recording setting on that map and i got some really weird shit; gpu temp and gpu vrms were almost overheating.
Owen Thompson
>did you mean literally 5 fps? yes, for all players in game
Logan White
thats fucked. any idea if its still broken on the PTS?
Noah Wood
im starting to see why some people dont like qc. i couldnt understand at first since i was new to the game and didnt know shit about quake. its weird, once i started to get better and have a little fun, all the bad shit about the game became more apparent and now its not fun anymore?
Ethan Wood
It's fun in short bursts, but the longer you play the more the issues start to get annoying like the god awful clientside hitdetection or the one amarican playing with 190 ping scopeing you behind walls.
Jace Lee
>but the longer you play the more the issues start to get annoying yes this is exactly it. but one cant really play the game casually without quickly losing their skill in game, at least i cant, so what the hell? guess im goin back to my other games and waiting for the actual launch

Well, we just met Tank jr. parents.
Connor Reed
HUH
Brayden Ross
Why wasn't Clutch Tank Jr.? What a missed opportunity There's even Strogg precedent for heavy units with force shields, so you could give Tank Jr. a shield with minimal lore disturbance
Nathan Taylor
Bring that pic with faces and quake logos
Camden Jackson
Because Id wanted new marketable characters.
Andrew Lopez
Tank Jr. is highly recognizable, though - being the forced viewmodel of like half the people playing QL
Jackson Sanchez
>half the people playing QL can't be because everybody forced enemy models to green keel.
There's no good waifu material in Quake They all look like they have taken a million dicks or a literal psychotic whores like Slash, Mynx and Lucy Quake is a husbando game, look for waifus here and all you'll get are STDs
Gabriel Brown
But Slash has never seen a penis
Caleb Bennett
And we all know that Doom is the cutest
Gavin Ward
What does she do, close her eyes when she goes to pee?
Angel Thompson
I know there's id software/Bethesda employees here. Please, talk to Nintendo about making Doomguy a fighter in a Smash game, it's a big opportunity to take.
Funnily enough QC is more refined than most major FPS on the market, but the gameplay is more sensitive to flaws.
Brandon Richardson
>more refined than most major FPS >movement speed fluctuates with framerate
Christian Lopez
He was referring to the refined features like instakill with dire orb or inside out with nyx. Other fps games just don't have that kind of high IQ requiring game elements, even sniper headshot in tf2 only does extra damage instead of instakilling.
Brayden Turner
Right. As bad as that is, other FPS games on the market are actually worse.

>nitpicking qc is in the witcher 3 league in terms of the soulcrushingly painful amount of detail put into it it's the little things a peabrain like you skims over entirely
Caleb Smith
>qc is in the witcher 3 league in terms of the soulcrushingly painful amount of detail put into it Absolutely not. Not literally nor metaphorically
Noah Gonzalez
not my fault you're fucking blind and new
Zachary Ramirez
That isn't nitpicking. It's a serious issue. The changes in movement occur up to extreme framerates (The guy only tested up to 300). If I have to come up with a scenario it will seem "nitpicky", but this has subtle implications in all dimensions of the game, including dodging >Two players moving to mega on Blood Run >Guy drops 9-12fps on the way there despite running the game at way over 144hz >Slight speed drop has him lose the race for mega, other guy kills him and wins Duel Even if the situation itself is unusual (getting a Duel this down to the wire), that it can happen at all is grotesque and directly disproves their "esports ready" memery

Samuel Bailey

Adrian Hill
ALRIGHT
Elijah Brown
you have no fucking clue what i was talking about you retard obviously i compared qc to w3 because they both have stellar netcode dumbass
Eli Thomas
But you had replied to a post that mentioned a serious issue (that same one) and claimed it was "nitpicking"
Joshua Parker
but hunter exists
Henry Long
Hunter is probably the best one, but she probably falls under the "has taken a million dicks" clause
That sounds like it could be an interesting change, but it depends on how hard the accel caps are. If some characters accel at the speed of a snail they will become downright unplayable (scalebarer).
Jaxson Rivera
Rapha said this really fucked up movement on the PTS. I hope they dont fuck it up hard.
They need to get rid of all of the noob helping movement stuff. Go back to speed caps for CPMA and Q4 characters. and then soft cap Quake3 champions. Then they need to rework Galena's movement to Quake 1 movement.
That would be awesome.
Josiah Howard
I'd actually be pretty okay with Galena having pure Quakeworld movement- no W usage at all.
Mason Hill
...
Sebastian Gray
The new PTS build fixed that
Wyatt Morris
I need the option to play on a flying sim controller or a fight stick
Juan Powell
For what purpose?
Luis Martinez
TO GET STRONGER
Jackson Peterson
that's not how the slipgate works
Jaxon Reed
The more advanced QW movement uses W - It's called powerbunny and it's a technique more casual fans don't know about. It allows even greater speed Some high level players barely use it. Rikoll seems to almost never use it, but Milton uses it a lot and GT uses it pretty much exclusively youtube.com/watch?v=Yjh-9ExEcp0
Mason Jones
It's how they work now.
Jason Turner
who is to blame for this
Chase Torres
[Spoiler] some comic artist who doesn't know that the computer parts are there
Xavier Stewart
Visor really does have the best look in QC , followed by classic Ranger.
Brandon Lopez
Gladiator Ranger is too Roman, not slipgate enough. Wish they'd just used the helmet and cosmetics of that set with the default appearance.
Chase King
>Gladiator Ranger is too Roman >Turns out one of the dimentions Ranger passed he was forced to fight in a Coliseum for some futuristic Roman Empire that did not end like pic related.
Jaxson Harris
Dissolution of Eternity had greco-roman maps
Robert Clark
I liked both Q1 expansions but Scourge of Armagon's level design is almost embarrassingly superior. Makes DoE look like featureless DUSK levels or something. Must be due to having Levelord on the project
Are the Q2 expansions worth playing? If they're much worse than the Q2 campaign I may give them a miss
