Watch the Quakecon vids. Even some of the heavy characters can move shockingly fast if you know what you are doing. Almost every character has some sort of jump or momentum based ability as well. It can get as fast as CPMA or even Quake World if the players know what they are doing and are picking the right characters. The only "slow" characters are really Galena and BJ. Everyone else has some sort of movement trick up their sleeve that makes them shockingly agile.

That's actually one of the things that's screwed up about Sorlag. Her weakness is seemingly supposed to be that she's slower than the other champions, but if you know how the bunny-hopping works she's actually one of the fastest in the game in addition to having the most health/armor.

What sensitivity settings do people have? I have a g400s at 800dpi and my sens is usually sort of high in most FPS games. I think it's somewhere around 2.8 to 3.5 in QC.

Rapha right now is doing 2.8 at 800dpi with no accel. I think this game is going to start leaning towards higher sensitivities because of the cpma champions.

I'm currently rocking 800dpi 1.5 sens with 0.05 accel. I'll try a higher sens next time I play too.

I spent some time - about 30/45 minutes in a custom match practicing Slash's slide as I have never played Q4 before. Man, it is very fun when you hit that cap quickly. I'm trying it out in deathmatch and it's a lot harder to do when you have other poo poo to worry about. Hopefully I'll have it down pat in a few days.

I'd love a nice up to date list on current pro players sensitivity in QC right now. Going 3.3 at 400 dpi had helped my LG a ton, at the cost of flick rails and rockets sadly.

Well, and Scalebearer has dash tricks and Clutch has some sick movement tricks as well. I'm not sure what to tell you here because the "movement" issue exists with pretty much every heavy character. They all haul rear end. Granted, they can't carve turns or double jump the way the lights do, but as for speed the difference isn't that much. It's the vomit really.

Sorlag gets cpma movement which means that despite having lower base movement she has the same air movement as Anarki. Clutch and scalebearer don't. so sorlag she has considerably more control and can speed up more easily, it's not really the same with every heavy character

There are lots of guides out there on Youtube that should help. I just jumped in and tried to figure it out as I go though. I used to play Q3A but I would just gently caress around with friends so it's not like I had any real knowledge aside from what the guns/characters are.

I just found videos on youtube and tried to replicate what they were doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EEVmhZdE5w.

The movement isn't that tough - it took me months to get the bunnyhopping down solid in CS:Source but I got the hang of the movement in this game in like three or fours hours of playing it.

For those complaining that there's no way to unlock champions for free: There is, just play!

You get a reliquary every 5 levels, those have a decent chance of containing a champion. There are also rune challenges that give you 1 or more reliquaries. I'm pretty sure they also drop from chests and bags, but far less often.

I play at 1600 DPI w/ 5 sens, though I'm down at 2.23 for CSGO. If you liked the sens you had before they changed the options, just multiply your old number by 5. Most people will want theirs much lower, I'm kinda weird.

Add me on steam if you wanna stack up some TDM, http://steamcommunity.com/id/_sneakyness.

My friends list is still broken in game so you'll have to message me on steam

What're y'all at for lore? I've got 65 so far. 4 or 5 champions at 7/8 out of 10, yet only 4 for Ranger, the only champion I care about

So we are watching Tim and Adam answer questions while the only thing we can hear is the HOTS commentary.

Would there be any goon interest in a nightly QC stream of the NA Sacrifice PUG scene? Most of the matches are filled with well known players (tonight we had Dahang, Rapha, Effortless, mavLP, Spectre, etc).
I feel as though people would find higher level Sacrifice matches fun to watch from a first person perspective w/voicecomms, but if I set up a stream right now I'd probably sit at 0 viewers due to no existing follower base.

Transcript/summary of the AMA livestream.

Some of the key points (but not all of them):

  • Patch coming out hopefully next week with bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • Hitboxes are being changed from an animated mesh wrapped around the player model to a static mesh for each animation state (jumping etc.), reducing lag/desynch and making hitboxes more forgiving
  • Next update will move rocket explosions from client to server auth, fixing a cause of 0-damage rockets.
  • Big October Update will fix the bug with railgun trails drawing late if you fire and move your aim in the same frame
  • Future maps and modes will be free, to avoid splitting the community
  • Big October Update will restrict certain cvars to maintain a level playing field
  • Ranked Play coming during Early Access. I think they're targeting sometime this year?
  • Clutch's mining drill "hasn't been successful", will probably be either tweaked or replaced. Will add sensitivity slider for the dodge double-tap.
  • Sorlag's spit will likely be given a longer delay before she can fire again.
  • LG will be changed from "firing invisible projectiles" to how it worked in previous games.
  • Doom Slayer's berserk reliability has been improved, will hopefully be released in the Big October Update.

A new minor patch is out, fixing a couple of bugs and removing lore spawning from Duels.

Also: If you were wondering what the team behind the new Unreal Tournament was doing all this time, apparently the answer was "shoehorning a shameless PUBG clone into Fortnite". So... there you go.

Important to point out that it's not just a static mesh, but a static mesh that encompasses the full area of the model for each animation, which means it will be substantially harder to rail between someone's legs, or have anarki kickflip over rockets

Street Fighter has an interesting feature where you can individually choose the dub of a character (English/Japanese).

Having a list of what guns you'd want center-viewed or not should be a nice feature.

I think they said only the classic weapon skins will ever be centered although SyncError admitted that they received a lot of feedback about players who prefer centered weapons for lining things up

(There are a bunch of launch options you can use to change the viewmodel somewhat although most people use it exclusively for hiding all of the weapons completely)

code:
 
--set /Config/CONFIG/WeaponZScale -1 --set /Config/CONFIG/maxFpsValue 144 --set /Config/CONFIG/isLowResParticles 1 --set /Config/CONFIG/isLowViolence 1
They later said that they are looking to expose more customization options to the players, while also locking down the ones not explicitly configurable via options. At the least we know crosshair configuration is coming
