:saddowns: I'm terrible at berserking doomguy I keep overshooting my targets. But even without using that skill, being silent and having Dat Jump is just aces. The additional paths it opens up are great.

You're doing it wrong. The beserk was never good for killing people. The ace in Doom Guy is double jump is one of the best passives bar none. The thing about berserk is not for killing people, it's that you can fly around the map and pick up all the items really drat fast. Off spawn, this his hilarious for getting all the good poo poo, it's amazing for plucking an item out from under someone, and it's also aces for bailing out of a fight you can win grabbing a bunch of health and then running back.

View it less as a berserk and more of a speed hack.

i feel in no way qualified to give advice on how to play quake but if i find myself repeatedly getting owned and frustrated and on the wrong side of stomps, forgetting to build my stack before engaging is the problem like 90% of the time, with the other 10% probably being attributable to age and whiskey

Good point! There's a lot of value in there. doesn't have a crazy long cooldown either.

Back when I drank, a bit of alcohol greased the nerves provided I stuck to a bit of drinking and no more. I'm sure they've already scientifically proven that alcohol doesn't improve your max potential, but rather decreases it. But a bit can still help, if you're not good at hitting your personal ceiling because some level of anxiety or a nerve twitch gets in the way.

What do you guys bind gauntlet to? I got the Rival 310 so I'm thinking of using one of those extra mouse buttons. Any suggestions?

You should never be using the gauntlet so a non-prime location is best. I use z.

Mouse 4 / 5 are premium buttons because you can keep aiming and wasd moving when pressing them. I have use ability bound to m4 and saving m5 for Q3 style taunt. Yes, taunt deserves a premium position. :iia:

My M4 has been my P2T for comms for years but for Discord I’ve had a problem of it acting like a back button in my browser. Have you found a way to fix this or is it just me?

Yeah, a little booze helps me get 'in the zone' and not overthink things. But its easy to go too far and start missing.

How do you do it on an ultrawide? I can't stand those things for fast games, too much head turning. Blast for single player games though.

Ranger was my favorite character until just recently. Now he's about tied with Death Knight, BJ, Sorlag and Visor.

I love doomguy but the double jump just kinda throws me off. I'm so not used to having it, I don't know what to do with it and I screw up my bunny hopping.

Ranger is so good though.

Ranger is just solid. Less damaging rocket jumps are good. His active is a combined instant kill, mix up, get out of jail card, and movement option.

buh?

so i'm running an i7 8700k oc'ed to 4.8ghz a gtx 1080 and a fresh install of windows 10. playing against a full server of bots with the framerate uncapped i'm hitting a pretty solid 330fps. nice!

i try the same thing with human players however and it's stuttering like crazy, topping out at around 270 with lows of 170ish. still pretty good, i guess if i cap it at 144 (monitor refresh rate) it'll be stable right?

stuttery as hell drops into the 90's. cap it at 60? stuttery with frequent drops into the 40's.

:wtc:

this is almost as dumb as when the lg dps was tied to framerate. almost.

I just tested this, and can't you get more speed out of just regular strafe jumping with double jumps weaved in versus just running around in berserk? I was capped at 500 UPS while berserked, but I could average like ~530 out of berserk and my movement is pretty bad.

Berserk is faster acceleration, more maneuverability. You’re right that it’s slower than strafejumping in a more or less straight line.

I mostly just want to see if it's still useful now, I started using it ages ago and haven't stopped. I haven't really run into any of the issues people complain about so I've just kept it.

just did this in nvidia inspector (also raised the power settings to max performance) and launched with the batch file (hey why not? it worked for gtaIV back in the day :p)

locked it at 153.6fps and got a nice steady 144fps.
weirdly i was still getting the performance icon for framedrops (little yellow box thing) so i figure maybe the ingame fps counter is dogshit?

double checked with fraps and same thing, 144fps solid as a rock. (slightly moreso even)

I decided to try this out today and it seems like that was a bad idea. Why has something as small as the cursor not being visible in full screen been addressed? The game wants you to create an account but the Bethesda site doesn't even work. I can see why there's so many negative reviews if they can't even fix minor problems.

Berserk is immediate 500 speed in all 8 directions with full corner maneuverability. Unlike the patched Scalebearer, he'll retain full rotation control this way too in addition to the berserk armor buff (good for surviving rails).
