Prav posted:man why would you rename Bones I looked into it and my guess is that Bones is going to be an alternate skin for Deathknight (who's a Q1 enemy that, unsurprisingly, looks like an evil knight). Apparently it's just a skellie under all that armor.

I guess I kind of lucked out in that I picked Sorlag because she's the coolest looking, and then it turns out she has a really good active. (Though really I'm just waiting until they release Orbb.)

Coming from Overwatch (I played a decent amount of Q3A but man that was aaaaaages ago), I actually really like the balance between hero abilities and arena-style shootmans. None of the abilities really seem oppressive and so long as I'm vaguely aware of what the other heroes do I always feel like I have a fair shot.

A.o.D. posted:Most fps has server side hit arbitration. OW judges a hit based on the shooter's pov in most cases, meaning that evasive action is less useful because regardless of ping, if the shooter sees a good shot, then it's a good shot. That's not technically an issue with whether the client or the server does it, since the server can simply perform the calculation from the POV of the shooter (this is what QC does as I understand it). It's effectively the same as OW's "favor the shooter" behavior. The following excerpt of this video shows how it works as of Aug 12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTXGJDQjW_Q&t=348s

Yeah, I'd agree that it's generally easier to click mans in OW but the gameplay is really different and overall both are just as "easy" because the matchmaker matches you up with people of the same skill level. Either way - unless you're literally in the top or bottom 1% of players - you have a roughly 1/n chance of winning, where n is the number of teams.

There are lots of guides out there on Youtube that should help. I just jumped in and tried to figure it out as I go though. I used to play Q3A but I would just gently caress around with friends so it's not like I had any real knowledge aside from what the guns/characters are.

Pastamania posted:Out of curiosity, is there anyone who likes this game who hasn't also been playing Q3 for the last 18 years? The last time I played Quake 3 was maybe 2006? And this game (specifically FFA DM) is exactly the poo poo I was looking for. In 16 hours of playing, I've gotten first place exactly 1 time (but 2nd or 3rd a bunch of other times), and I still love it. Also, I used to die a ton until I started focusing on getting good guns first and then fighting guys. Turns out running headlong into the enemy with the starting gun isn't a great idea!!

Xenaero posted:With some practice, the starting shotgun can be pretty viable compared to the others, it can dish out some hurt. Good to know. My shotgun flicks are terribad and I tend to rely on the RL and LG (LG's fairly easy for me because I play a lot of Zarya in Overwatch). I used to be pretty good with the shotgun in Q3A but that was ages ago. Guess I better practice more.

The two big things I want are Orbb and a competitive FFA format. I wouldn't say no to an updated version of q3dm17 (The Longest Yard) though.

Uncle Kitchener posted:The recent patched have been pretty good. Seeing a lot more players now. Still needs a lot more content like maps in the future and CTF since nobody is playing Sacrafice. All I really want is some form of competitive FFA (granted, this isn't exactly trivial). And maybe some training modes.

As long as they add the only character that matters (Orbb), I'm happy.

Oxyclean posted:lmao yeah I was thinking about mentioning Orbb in my last post but figured i'd just be told off that his hitboxes would be a problem. I mean in QC, they can just tune his starting health/movespeed to be balanced, which they couldn't have done in Q3. So if anything, he's an even better fit for QC.

Somehow, I always get exactly 6th in FFA. I still like playing though because hey, I don't have a negative score, and I occasionally do good things. It can be tilting sometimes, but compared to the time clicking through stupid menus, the respawn timer is nothing. (The respawn timer is also nothing compared to Overwatch, which I play a lot more of.)

New Zealand can eat me posted: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. Obviously, this is part of their work to support putting the gun at the top center for Orbb.

Honestly, now that it sounds like the game won't have as many annoying speedbumps to get back into another lobby after a game, I'll probably pick this up again. All the post-match nonsense really put me off playing.

Reducing the amount of time spent not playing Quake was my main wish for this game, so it's good to see that they're improving it. I'd still prefer map rotation (especially since I almost exclusively play FFA, where it doesn't really matter if a player drops out), but this is a start.
