Didn't they outsource the development of the netcode? Or am I wrong?

Given the boasts of 120hz gameplay, you'd think gameplay and rendering would be decoupled. Guess not.

netcode's passable until my girlfriend uses the wifi to log into facebook and then it becomes a completely unplayable rubberbandfest.  ...and this is still a major improvement from the open beta. still not playing more than a couple matches a day to get my dailies though as the risk of domestic strife is too high.

Keep your girlfriend until they patch this game into a better one. Hopefully without the goofiness.

Let's hope so. I'm really rooting for this game to succeed, not just because it's Quake and I have terminal nostalgia sickness but also it's one of the least abusive f2p business models I've seen in a while.

I really do love this game and that can't even be from misplaced nostalgia since I've never played Quake 3. I'm just sad to see its current state and how badly they seem to have bungled this "early access" nonsense. Here's hoping they can pull it together because its probably the only online shooter besides pubg that I genuinely like.

I still play almost daily, no need to organize, just queue for Team Deathmatch. I promise we'll see each other xD Quick edit: If you haven't played in a while, the most important thing to know is that the lightning gun is rear end now, so much so that the heavy machinegun and nailgun are now useful It's a good game, I like it https://clips.twitch.tv/KawaiiTacitIcecreamPermaSmug New Zealand can eat me fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Oct 25, 2017 |

My main issue is still the lack of maps, gets pretty boring playing the same 2 or 3 maps in DM over and over.

I'd love to see way more maps than what's in the game right now.

Ban Blood Covenant and release bikini packs for five bux, give toggle options to centre weapons and character announcer packs. I know what I'm talking about.

Yeah it’s good to see some bandaids for the Doom Slayer bullshit. To be honest I’m pretty bored with the game though. I think I’m going to need the new hitboxes and maybe a new map or two to drag me back. I played some Quake Live the other day and it kind of made me realize how much is still missing in Champions. I’m keeping the faith though. Also I want rockets back to their original speed. Right now they are just too good.

The Clutch shield really needed mixing. It was bullshit when you could just get shot through it when actively when blocking. Again, the game still doesn't feel complete. Too few maps. Ofcourse, it's stuck to the servers and who the hell knows how long it'll stay alive. Again, once I get my new rig I'll get right back in.

Decided to toss a few bucks at the Quake Champions comic. The first issue is essentially a cliffnotes-version of Quake, told between panels of Ranger clowning on other characters and staring at his photo keepsake. Couple things of note: -Despite his wacky armor, Ranger apparently hails from modern-day USA, with Polaroid cameras and backyard barbecues. -Keeping with id tradition, Ranger without his gear looks an awful lot like the Doomguy and BJ. -99% sure that the unannounced character DeathKnight shows up in one of the flashback panels, surrounded by shamblers with his back to the reader and holding a nailgun. -Rocket jumps look absolutely stupid outside a videogame format.

The Kins posted:It can take a bit to get your eye in if you haven't played an arena shooter in a long time. Hit up the tutorial and get a feel for how each gun works. It might also be worth starting a Private Match by yourself to get a feel for how to navigate a map and where everything is - area control is important! this is good. are their any clear advantages that are paywalled or is it all cosmetic/hats stuff? i see people bitching about the various champions.

Champions have different stats, movement, abilities. You can forgo buying cosmetics to rent them. You are likely to obtain at least one from free reliquaries as you leveled but the odds it is your preferred champion are low. Other than that the only purchasable advantage is some weapon skins are centered and none of those are free. You can sell other free cosmetics to buy them but if you are renting champions that may take a while. It's not clear that a centered LG is an advantage rather than a preference, anyway.

these videos might help refresh you if you've been out of the game for a long while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ01vPGVQYQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7YyXn8JBgw ...and a playlist where he explains the individual champions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL68VYkgf7Mt2cpGTXcXsW5rYCpZRBV1pF BIG MEATY SHITS posted:this is good. are their any clear advantages that are paywalled or is it all cosmetic/hats stuff? i see people bitching about the various champions. you can 'rent' champions with 'favor' (a currency you get for simply playing) and every time you rank up you get free loot which gives you the chance of permanently unlocking one (or more likely some cosmetic fluff). if you do your daily challenges and aren't particularly bothered about cosmetics you'll have plenty of favor for renting champions.

You get all characters if you buy the game. Renting is for the f2p crowd.

BIG MEATY SHITS posted:real helpful stuff, appreciate it. but this: You technically didn't buy the game. You were given a champion from the humble bundle. This is a marketing strategy to get you into the game to play and have fun, similar to the giveaways twitch prime does every month with other games. And yes, you can buy more champions or spend the $30 for the full package which would cover all current and future champions.

The game is not a lost cause, it's still good, it just desperately needs more stuff. Rough corners and edges, but still great.

Needs more maps more than anything IMO. Playing Campgrounds over and over and over is just boring after a while. UT04 had shitloads, probably over 100 spread over the different modes. Whenever I play QC I'm playing Campgrounds and then burial chamber most of the time.

The Counterstrike scene has always been like that, too. So as much as I'd love to see cool new maps, I feel like it wouldn't be worth the effort for the developers because everybody would stick with Campgrounds.

The two big things I want are Orbb and a competitive FFA format. I wouldn't say no to an updated version of q3dm17 (The Longest Yard) though.

This, a thousand times this. if you leave a community of fps players to it's own devices eventually a hivemind will form and it'll be 24/7 de_dust2/2fort/campgrounds till the eventual heat death of the universe.

The inability to just go to a different server on a whim / let those players self-segregate is a major dysfunction of the f2p model.

amitlu posted:How the hell is CTF not in yet? God the amount of effort wasted on Sacrifice instead of just giving us CTF.. Or freeze tag, or instagib, or any other dozen modes that appeal to casual players and would actually keep the game alive. I jumped into do4m mp for what was meant to be 5 minutes to see if they ever changed anything and ended up in there for a few hours because it has a ton of modes it cycles through that I missed dearly. edit:the reason i actually came into the thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyi-GsqzBcA&t=704s
