Spent an entire day playing as crusader chick.... partly because I got some of her epic gear out of a random box and partly because I've never seen anybody play her... she's not "bad"?

I only bothered with sacrifice but she's pretty OK, and her heal is often an "I get full health now gently caress you" button if you are alone.

Dunno, but I'm rotating between her and Visor now, though I have a soft spot for the Lizard... and I will totally spend real monies so I can wear an egg while I vomit on people.

EDIT- Also this game is the first one that's made me ditch the high speed Artisan Hayate OSU pad and go back to a Steelseries QCK+ to make my shots, which is certainly something. It's also pointed out to me just how loving horrible at aim, movement, and other core skills things like Overwatch make you. There is shoot mans and then there is Quake.

That's a rather lovely set of patch notes. Tweaked spawn system, changed scoring in sacrifice.

Calling it now that the current state of the game will not change much for release.

Hopefully the rocket delay fix is actually decent.

Game is still fun. I haven't had this much of a blast in ages but I am an old who grew up on this series so.....

Well yeah, if you're in a party. I near exclusively play TDM and I was queueing alone all morning. Same former teammates and players on the enemy team would rotate back and forth, so matches were even more hilariously one sided.

You quit to early. We didn't have this problem, me and EnteranceJew had multiple great TDM and Sacrifice matches. Both of us had on fire moments with rail and in general poo poo went well. poo poo our last three Sacrifice games were loving epic.

New Dev Q&A Answers

Some of the hot points summarized:
  • Immediate work is being put into performance, netcode and stability, with further-out work relating to more tutorials, training maps, UI/UX improvements and "progress loops" to keep players coming back every week.
  • Clutch will be getting a new passive (hydralic dodge) and a second-stage to his active (Plasma Mining Drill) to give him a little more mobility and power.
  • Hitboxes, for the most part, are lower-poly versions of the character's base, un-customized model, with some extra thickness or filling in where balance demands.
  • Speedometer coming soon, along with training maps and other such tools.
  • Super Nailgun getting a buff to match the stats of the QL Plasma Gun.
  • Replay system is in development alongside other spectator tools like a minimap.
  • Steam version confirmed, but will still use a Bethesda.net login. The only advantage is that you won't have to use their terrible launcher, but that's a pretty big advantage.

All sounds good! I'd ask for two more things:

1. Reduce the amount of Nyx can stay invisible.
2. Reduce the amount of tick damage Slorags vomit does.

I know you have seen a lot of Quake matches in your day Mr. Announcer. To you this is probably mundane but for me going on a kill streak is super intense and gratifying. At least pretend to be enthusiastic.

Those aren't kill streaks, I got a few killing sprees, two rampages, multiple net masters, in a match with Love today. Announcer still sounds the same. You want the UT announcer who orgasms as she announces or something?

Knifegrab posted:

So I just started the beta, does it always take a calendar year to find a game? Is there really so few people playing?

No, not really. There are a few tricks though.

Some regions are more active than others and some data centers are hopping and others are down. Unless you are in a really active one (I'm on VA and the wait times aren't bad) check more than one data center and it will search multiples for a match.

Things are "slower" because of the huge tournament going on, again though impact of this is by region.

You can bypass all of this by playing custom matches. As soon as the map ends the owner just loads the next map. If you open the global chat and spam looking for game someone will pick you up. Just be aware every now and then you get someone who wants to play sacrifice only.

As stated, get on discord. If you already have your team there that's less searching it has to do.

That all said the Bethesda client is loving garbage and this needs to be moved to Steam asap.

I'm in Europe right now and have no problems finding a game. Not going to lie I'm a little worried when I move back to NA that my Quake options will suck.

I'm USA East. Even with just the VA data center checked (I ping 8-16 to this one) it takes roughly 2-4 mins to search a match. I get pick up games through the chat, or some high level players who are on my friends list in their discord on the regular and you can get 5-6 games in a row with no wait times other than swapping people in and out if someone has to go.

More people should really idle in discord. If you have 4+ people it's easy just to grab people off the global chat and play that way.

I tried this game over the weekend, only deathmatch in US East, Every game was Q3DM6, the abilities are meh.

It's a Quake game alright, but definitely doesn't feel different except for the stupid gimmicks each champion has.

Sounds like you had a bad group.

DM6 and Sarnath are by far the best and most popular maps. Burial chamber is very rail heavy so if you see heavy voting for this you can be sure the other team is good at it's rails. It's way too easy to lock down and then pummel someone into the ground. Lockbox is fun, but it doesn't run well for many people and the "gimmicks" aka the toilet bowl, top tower, trap floor can devolve rapidly as well.

The champions gimmicks are really kinda silly. The only problematic one is really the vomit which is spammish and broken. However most of the better players are rocking nx/slash/anarki with the odd ranger and visor. Of those the only obnoxious gimmick is nyx. For the most part this isn't an issue unless you get stuck in a game with a lot of vomit spam (which is worse on DM6 than any other level) or are playing against a nyx that outclasses you can just run away if you manage to light her up.

I was assuming that everyone playing QC was already a crusty old pro at QL, but it looks like there's a nice influx of newbies for QC. Also, after playing a match of Duel I don't know if I can go back to DM, it's really addictive.

It's not just olds and a lot of the olds are TDM centric and duel changed a lot.
