My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

So I think with these playlists no mode will be custom only. It will be like overwatch in a sense where you hit play and a mode is decided for you.

Although your setup seems alright if they had a server browser for the custom games. I do want to see CTF in ranked though.

Given the state of game I'd really push for:

No teams public:
DM FFA
IG FFA

Requires team
TDM
CTF
SAC

Ranked requires team:
1v1 duel
2v2 TDM
CTF Ranked

It’s not centered. The only centered weapons are Q1 LG, RL, NG and SNG.

centered shouldn't be locked behind weapons. Its awkward having a mix. TF2 did it so Quake did, but really it should just be a toggle for all guns period.

Can't disagree with that. Except Clutch, since he's special, so I guess the only way is to pretty much hide is other shield/laser hand.

Also, Clutch can snipe again now.

I get full games every time with a queue of 5 minutes, max. Usually more like 2-3. Australians should know by now that low pop games like this aren't gonna work for them.

It's BYOC but given how far mobile GPUs have come this isn't the cluster gently caress it once was. I've got an EVGA SC15 (7700, 16, 256ssd, 1tbhdd, 1060m 6gb) and it's fast enough. You're main goat gently caress is going to be that mobile sound (like desktop sound) sucks sans external DAC and even worse open backed headphones (which give the best sound stage) are a huge issue in that situation.

This isn't the problem it once was as a good DAC is down to about 300 and product that integrate DAC + Dolby + Headphones can be the same (even Steelseries makes a passable headset now).

The remaining gripe is that (LOL) many of those 144hz DVI or DP monitors won't loving run off a laptop at the full 144+hz without an active adapter, you'll have better luck with the gsync over DP type but the active sync ones suck compared to the DVI ones so try your luck. Those adapters are 100 bucks plus and eat USB port.

So it's doable provided you know your monitor will work and have some sort of external sound. Stupid as that might sound it's still better than hauling around a CRT and a tower so progress?

Ugh all of that seems stressful. Like if I had a decent laptop I would bring that for BYOC but I don’t and I don’t know if I want to drive to Dallas just to bring my desktop.

I’ve never been though so I don’t know if it’s worth going if you aren’t doing BYOC. I’m not a local so I’d be getting a plane ticket.

They doubled the size of BYOC over last year so if you're on the fence about going, just commit. It's gonna be nuuuuuts

Clutch is extremely strong now. He was actually the most banned hero in the FortyLions Den #2 duel tournament tonight (Everyone was allowed 1 Champion ban), second most banned was BJ. The grand finals are still going right now https://www.twitch.tv/iamfortylions

I Won 1 and Lost 2. Both went on to loose to Elite ranked players so I don't feel tooo terrible. I hit Visor with that #GAMESENSE tho.

If you wanna watch me lose here u go:

I admittedly do not spend a lot of time dueling. I need to work on my consistency (especially hitting railgun shots, so many times I'd work them down to 1 shot and then miss), and remember to run away instead of plusforwarding at every opportunity. I'm also being weirdly conservative with my abilities, was giving away fights I should've won because I was scared to "waste" my ability. I need to unbind my loving scrollwheel and just use the buttons, too. Well that's enough self deprecation for now, hope this helps someone maybe?

If you'd like someone to practice with, I'm in the discord in the OP, just @vlc#9200

We're supposed to be getting full viewmodel customization eventually, they've said on the dev stream a few times that all of the functionality is there, they've just got a massive backlog of UI tasks and "extra" features are at the end of that list. You used to be able to use launch options to hide weapons offscreen, but they patched that out maybe December 2017?

HoboWithAShotgun posted:

Playing against BJ is pure cancer in Duel. His F is like a win button. My only strats for dealing with it are;

-Camp the LG before they can get to it first and hope I can kill them before they press F.
-Play the robot and press F (still not guaranteed, double LG can kill you in the time it takes for a shield to come back after a shot).
-Try to just snipe with a rail in the hopes he never comes in LG range.

You need to get really good at running away. One of those rare situations where strafejumping is more important than shooting as it will literally save your life. Soon as you hear that catchphrase just do a 180 and GTFO

Also for those who care: If you insist on using a framerate cap, the in game limiter seems to introduce frametime spikes upwards of 40ms. Seeing a lot of people in the id quake discord saying RivaTuner's limiter is doing a much better job of giving consistent frame pacing.

Seems like every few days? I've seen it change a few times in the last couple weeks.

But it may not cycle through all weapons. I feel like I've seen some multiple times and others not at all, but it could just be random too.

If you run into this stuff, take a SS while still logged in or write down the KSIVA numbers at the bottom of the screen and it'll help them find the issue if you submit a bug report.

FYI don't queue for Virginia if you're sick of 180 ping south americans teleporting around, apparently there's some sort of UI error that tells them they're getting "100ms" ping alllll the way to Virginia, yet none of the other US servers work for them. Looking forward to the ELO reset next month, there's 1400 ELO players who don't know you can shub with orbs, and 1100 ELO players beating elites (>1800? ELO) in offsite tournaments
