Oh yeah the new duel mode kinda sucks. In the classic duel modes it's not a big deal to be down 3 frags because there's usually time to make a comeback. If you're down 3 frags in quake champions you've lost a round. I guess they changed things because it's easier for new players to go 0-6 in 3 minutes than 0-30 in 10 minutes but all the experienced players I know think it's lame. There used to be a variant on duel mode called Hooneymode which was just like a regular duel except when someone got a frag all the items and players respawned (you switched spawns every frag). I always thought that mode was good for new players because they get a clean slate every frag and will eventually get some items. Meanwhile experienced players are okay with it because it still allows for comebacks.

oh yeah i forgot to say that if there's no classic duel mode then the game is actually unredeemable trash

Skins don't have gameplay changes though



You must think 99% of videogames are unredeemable trash, and you must also be great at parties :rolleyes:

Personally I think having a new graphics quake live would be fine, but I think this game can be that and have characters too and its not worth throwing a fit over :shrug: The characters don't make that big of a difference, play the beta, its not worth crying over. Its fun. Its way better than COD or Overwatch or anything like that, it feels really fast and good, and there's different modes.

duel is the only way I enjoy playing arena shooters and neo-duel is loving trash.

My ping is constantly 25 and the netcode and detection in the game work perfectly, with the exception of the rocket delay which sucks. (But is a known issue)

Fix your lovely computer and stop bitching its the game's fault. I bet you don't know the first goddamned thing about netcode. (Generally a rule, if somebody mentions netcode they're clueless)

Did quake champions save your mothers life or something?

When they try to make balance changes, I really hope that the developers take the Icefrog/Dota route and just make everything else more crazy OP instead of nerfing poo poo all the time like in most other games.

Also I'm becoming more and more a fan of Galena's totem thing. It's like dropping permanent +50 orbs for your team every 30 seconds or whatever. The other people doesn't know they can destroy them so the map gets littered with totems and we're getting free heals every few seconds.

I hope that there's never anything more powerful than ranger orb in the game because I don't want anything to detract from the power up control and movement at the heart of quake.

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.

You realize that when you introduce other places for people to play within a game, they stop playing in the places that already exist? One might argue adding all these game modes is just going to make the current population worse.

Of course, I'm part of the problem. I haven't played this in months, and I don't miss it. :(

This is the age of everything being in big dumbfuck playlists, we can force everyone to play freeze tag.

The spawn system in this game is so loving bizarre. Every one in a while it just decides that I'm going to get the same 2 spawns on the same side of the map no matter what, and spawning near the RL or LG basically means you just die over and over to the people fighting over those guns 2 seconds out of spawn

Oh yeah duel is always gonna be the realm of the most hardcore. I don't think their round based and pick system has worked at opening it up to new players, it's still too intimidating to go 1v1 vs seasoned quake players. I wonder if they'll just revert to classic duel to satisfy the people who play it.

Their format is so dumb new players can't even touch it without dropping money or getting some extreme lootbox luck

phasewalk is the most spiteful thing ever put into an arena shooter, why the gently caress is it instant, why is its only purpose outside of duel to generate blue balls, why does it have to slow duels down to a crawl? it single handedly makes every match its in worse. Does it exist to counteract all the stupid press f to get kills stuff? How many leaders at Saber saw these loving piece of poo poo skills and thought "yes, this is a thing you should definitely be able to do at least once a minute in a skill based, fast paced arena shooter." Is it the same people who give characters passives whose only purpose is the counter themselves? How did they ever get promoted above code slave? How can the low level staff tolerate working under people this clearly incompetent? Why are all the good arena shooters dead? The world sucks. I'm gonna key sponges car

Yeah like the duel mode where I get to fight BJ, clutch and ranger every game, you come out of every kill potentially at a huge disadvantage because your opponent spawns with one of the many braindead high damage ults on stock, have the lovely spawn system amplified by the hot mess of a duel format, the inconsistent performance now matters (I just played a duel where my game hitched every time Doom double jumped!) and have to play the hot mess of a duel format
