Uncle Kitchener posted:What's a more effective way of strafe jumping? I can get up to 500ish on QL, but I still don't know how people can get up to 600+ from their second jump. Is it related to mouse sensitivity, frame rate or both? The way to start fast is to circle jump, strafe jumping accelerates you in the air but moving in a circle (forward + strafe while turning in direction of strafe) makes you move faster on the ground. I think 320ups characters like ranger can make it to 400+ without leaving the ground. Make sure your circle jump is sound before worrying about strafe intricacies, it's the most important part of going fast and you should be doing it all the time. There's a moving target you want to aim for that gets further from your line of motion the faster you go. For maximum velocity in a particular direction you wiggle around "forward" but never rest there (until you hit speed cap). Advanced strafe jumping is having more than 1 beat per jump (alternating 3 or 4 times) and is hardly ever useful while in a match unless you are trying to beeline uncontested to an objective (or now maybe away from Nyx). There are tons of tutorials on YouTube, but all the tutorials and descriptions in the world aren't worth 2 hours beating your head against the start of a defrag map.

They didn't say CTF was coming, they said they enjoyed CTF answering the question about grapples. I think they're all in on Sacrifice as their competitive team mode. No word on the single most important aspect holding the game back: option to fix the clock to countdown in the traditional and therefore best fashion

Pastamania posted:Out of curiosity, is there anyone who likes this game who hasn't also been playing Q3 for the last 18 years? I don't like DM for the reason you mentioned, but TDM isn't usually that way except at the worst balance (usually because someone left after breaking all the urns). I want to play duel but... when I die to a bug in TDM, it's like 2% of the game, and that sucks. When I die to a bug in duel, it's 1/3 of a game, and that's awful. Also, where's my countdown timer option But maybe your experience is typical for people who don't have years of quake experience, in which case QC is just another game that won't reignite the actually-fun-FPS genre (sometimes called arena shooters for some stupid reason).

 Real exclusive actual hat in the latest patch. Made by actual game makers and not some weird joke made using recycled assets in a server-side mod. Unfortunately you cannot buy this $60 hat unless you own QC in Steam. kaschei fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Oct 16, 2017 |

With Bethesda's launcher, every patch is a 12GB patch because I can't apply patches. I have to just delete and redownload the entire game. It claims there's either insufficient space or problem accessing a file.

Champions have different stats, movement, abilities. You can forgo buying cosmetics to rent them. You are likely to obtain at least one from free reliquaries as you leveled but the odds it is your preferred champion are low. Other than that the only purchasable advantage is some weapon skins are centered and none of those are free. You can sell other free cosmetics to buy them but if you are renting champions that may take a while. It's not clear that a centered LG is an advantage rather than a preference, anyway.

The inability to just go to a different server on a whim / let those players self-segregate is a major dysfunction of the f2p model.

Only Sorlag and Anarki have that kind of air control. Ranger is decently fast, I think 320 +forward/640 air max? And visor is a little slower on the ground but air speed cap is like 2000.

The latest patch feels a lot better for me in terms of performance, and I'm much happier with the relative speeds of the champions. From what I can glean from reddit, someone there figured out how all the physics settings interact for the Sabre developers, who can actually tune acceleration in a meaningful way now that someone told them what all their settings mean.

I don't think I'd ever have started dueling with the match and ranking system in QC. You can't even spectate the guy that just beat you to see what he's doing better, or different. And I know an internet rank doesn't mean anything but 14 year old me would have totally agonized over it.

Galena is not-explicitly Heretic-based. So probably not going to see any characters from those games but there might be more like her.

This patch is the first one that’s felt worse than the one before it for me performance wise. I’m under recommended specs and had to go to 50% scaling from 100% and there’s still worse jitters.

Doom guy is much more a “bad at moving” band-aid than ranger. Visor’s ability is good whenever your opponent is trying to outsmart you and is on your level. His ability is one of the absolute best at all levels and I’d say it is more valuable the better your opponent is.

CJacobs posted:To be fair to the shader building thing, the reason it takes so long is because it's pre-loading them all for that specific character. They have to build them all before letting you click anything, otherwise it'd take 5-10 seconds to load each one on demand if they didn't do that and just showed you the list instead. I prefer one pause at the start compared to no pause at the start but a separate pause every time you click on one. Except that you can click them before they load & see instantly the result on the model. It’s not “building shaders.” It looks to me like it’s working out whether you own each one so it can decide to load the greyed out or full tone version. Why this takes 10 seconds and can’t be stored client side even within a session I have no earthly idea.

Yeah I get matched into 1v1s super fast, but it’s that weird QC duel mode with six bots where each player just tries to farm them as fast as possible. All that practice last hitting in LoL coming in handy.

Jabor posted:Usually you randomise the teams whenever you change maps explicitly to avoid that issue. There’s a problem with tdm where a group of decent players queue together and get matched with random groups. I’ve queued into 75-3x stomps against the same group three times in a row. I just want to slide around and frag people but prefer ffa > tdm > instagib so I blunder into tdm after getting voted into igib a few times.

I can report that after some dismal performances I raised the in-game music volume and won two consecutive ffas. These are probably not related but the music is pretty rad anyway. Best patch yet.

Just reskins. The only significant changes are the q1 rl/lg/nail guns which are centered. Devs have said they intend to implement a centered/right hand option but until then it’s only possible with those weapons.
