I like this game. I thought the hero stuff sounded stupid but in game it's really not that big of a deal. They should probably standardize movement/hp stats tho.

Everyone can strafe jump, but some heroes have additional movement options (Visor's strafe jump accelerates indefinitely, there's a dude who can turn really well in the air) to differentiate them.

The game is definitely fuckey but its very fast and the movement is fun.

I think some of the hero stuff is neat. I like how everyone's movement is really good as a baseline (everyone can strafe jump), but a few characters have passives that give them Quake World or CPMA movement. I'm fine with it being different from QL because QL still exists and I feel like most people who play it are fine with it looking outdated because basically everyone just configs the game to look like poo poo anyway.

I think you're definitely right about the game not really appealing to a lot of people. QL never really took off, so they're obviously trying to hit the Overwatch/MOBA market with their hero system, but even if it does attract people from that demographic, I feel like most of them aren't going to like QC because its still mostly Quake and Quake is a fundamentally really hard game to get good at.

The chick who can turn invisible and telefrag people seems really strong in the 1v1 mode.

I think they said they're adding an actual CTF mode, this weird Obelisk thing is what they want for their "competitive" team mode. I only played it twice but I didn't really like it very much. They probably should have just made their competitive mode CTF.

Oh ok. I tried it twice and didn't really like it because the idea of not moving in Quake is so insanely retarded only the geniuses at Bethesda could cook it up.

I don't think you actually have to stand near the point while it ticks up.

Also in this new patch if you hold right click to zoom your aim weapons do more damage.

Actually that's been in the game for at least a month lol

In Training posted:

Oh also between the last beta and this public one they patched it so that if you're shooting the LIghtning GUn but not hitting anybody with it the projectile is invisible which is retarded.

oh lmao I was wondering why that was happening. I just assumed my game was glitchy.
