I wish you can grab the armor shards immediately when they pop out instead of having to wait.

Also nail gun sucks, I want the plasma gun back. The game is fun and I really want to like it but I feel like being in this beta is ruining it for me. It just makes me load up quake live instead. Like I wish I saved myself for when the game was fully released or something.

Had the same association, but I think it's intentional, the gun models you can buy are more interesting. There's Q3 mg, Q2 rail, Q1 rocket, and something else. They are bought with the currency you get by destroying other cosmetics, I broke down all crap I got over six or so levels and only got to a third of the amount needed to buy one gun, maybe they'll make them cheaper in the future. I can probably buy one of them now, the rail maybe.

I managed to get enough shards out of one of the three item chests. Bought the q3 mg, it is good.

Actually forgot to mention but during last beta round one of those chests landed me the strogg lightning gun so I guess they can drop as well.

Yeah I'll be very disappointed if there are no changes this beta. It just kills morale not to mention it makes you question what you are testing anyways.

Also if you aren't on discord get on it. Easy to pick up a partner for games, and we've had a few rotating 3/4 stacks. Game is much more fun when you can laugh at your own failures, have multiple people timing the quad, and screaming and yelling when someone runs the wrong way with the soul.

Yep and I guess since I already had all champions from closed beta I received 900 shards instead.

I'm playing on a MacBook Pro and it's very smooth for me, very happy with the optimization compared to early closed testing period.

Game is a blast but I'm still trying to get used to the overall lower stack. It makes rocket jumps for anyone but Ranger a pain. I think the biggest thing I want for this game is a successful team mode with objectives. Sacrifice should have been more like attack&defend from Quake Live I think.

Honestly I was hesitant at first with the whole champions abilities/stats thing but now I really like it. It's just a new angle to help freshen things up. I think some people associate the abilities with Overwatch ultimates but they aren't really "hit Q to win".

Well I mean some of them maybe need a nerf but I hope you understand what I mean.

TDM honestly feels like DM but with less enemies to shoot. It's not like older versions where you had to control the guns and drop them for your buddies.

I guess it's because as long as you guys regroup and control the quad there's not much else impact you can have besides not dying. Doesn't stop it from being fun but I have to force myself to play more Sacrifice if I want a real team mode.

If they want Sacrifice to be the main esport mode fine but I hope they let us have things like freezetag and attack&defend.

What sensitivity settings do people have? I have a g400s at 800dpi and my sens is usually sort of high in most FPS games. I think it's somewhere around 2.8 to 3.5 in QC.

Rapha right now is doing 2.8 at 800dpi with no accel. I think this game is going to start leaning towards higher sensitivities because of the cpma champions.

I'm currently rocking 800dpi 1.5 sens with 0.05 accel. I'll try a higher sens next time I play too.

I'd love a nice up to date list on current pro players sensitivity in QC right now. Going 3.3 at 400 dpi had helped my LG a ton, at the cost of flick rails and rockets sadly.

Gotta put on some accel! I want a list too, esreality doesn't have anything up but I think if you go to a player's stream they usually list it.

Same here it’s the only game I play right now. Once they iron out the netcode and optimize it further it will be even better. Then hopefully we can look forward to more features.

Yeah it’s good to see some bandaids for the Doom Slayer bullshit. To be honest I’m pretty bored with the game though. I think I’m going to need the new hitboxes and maybe a new map or two to drag me back. I played some Quake Live the other day and it kind of made me realize how much is still missing in Champions. I’m keeping the faith though.

Also I want rockets back to their original speed. Right now they are just too good.

If/when Champions bites the dust I think pretty much QL clan arena will be the only way to shoot a rocket and bunny hop.

Nailguns are really good now. Hitboxes are pretty amazing now and everyone received a stack increase except Anarki who sucks now. Galena is a much more common pick since they buffed her totems to 100 dmg (ridiculous I know). Be careful of Clutch in sacrifice he can be pretty OP.

Also instagib game mode and a no abilities modifier for custom games out this month.

Edit: On second thought you might not have been gone that long so you’re probably aware of this stuff already. They skipped a February patch so nothing new.

How is this game doing? I haven't played in months and have been waiting for friends to pick it up when it goes F2P.

Population has increased a bit since the April patch. Game is on the right path just needs more champion balancing and CTF hopefully in June. A good team mode is really important since most people didn’t like sacrifice. I can see it going f2p maybe in December? Still too early to tell but I’m feeling positive about the game.

Haha the new duel format made me think of kof also. I guess the round stuff just interrupts the flow for too many people though.

I think capture strike would be good. I know Warsow had a CS bomb defusal mode too that looked fun. I think clan arena alone isn’t enough because there needs to be some objective besides kill the opposing team.

Anarki is unplayable right now. His circle jump is too slow to run away from bad fights and his stack is way too low compared to everyone else. They’ve acknowledged it and will have improvements for next patch.

Geee who knew that charging zoom damage on rail was a bad idea.

Lg harder to hit with? Sure.

CPMA style shotgun? Sure.

Galena totem nerf? Sure.

Although they are increasing health from totems. I don’t really think they needed to do that.

So if shards can’t buy skins will they only be used for chests? Hopefully we actually do get less duplicates.

Should I pick up the all characters pack? I've been wanting to learn about Quake but I always end up wanting to go back to Halo. Is there a point where the game just makes more sense or should I skip Champions and go play Quake Live?

There's a Scalebearer pack for $5 that gives you access to the game. I'd just do that first to see if you even like the game. You will be able to buy champions with the ingame favor currency starting next patch I believe.

They removed sacrifice from the queue which saddens me as it was my favorite. Duel maps on ffa/tdm are fun though. Opened a ton of chests reliqus backpacks but didn’t get new tribolt. Dupes are still so bad now that sometimes I open a chest and I have enough to just buy another chest.

Loving the gibs. Anyone try the beta surround sound thingy yet? Heard it’s pretty bad right now.

I think more people would have liked it but yeah unless you are in a premade it sucks. The pickup games were really where it was at but we can’t even do that anymore because of some weird change where it takes 10 secs to cap a soul from an obelisk.

Which leads me to wonder something, will ctf be a dead mode too? If it’s actually 4v4 it’s going to suck just as bad without a premade. This won’t be public 16/16 servers from the old days.

Looking forward to CTF, as I think having the different characters will make for some interesting strategies and plays.

There was definitely some cool stuff when sacrifice was still alive. You would see scalebearer and doomguy on offensive a lot capping the soul because of their active ability. Lot's of slash and galena's on defense. I miss it and can't wait for a real team mode to return!

I can’t even play. Despite all these new players it still takes me like 5 minutes to get a match and then some sort of server bullshit happens. I know my hidden mmr is high from playing so long but it’s just too frustrating lately to bother. Especially when I can jump into a game within a minute somewhere else.

Really hoping next patch comes out soon with worthwhile changes.
