Wormskull posted:

I wish the 4v4 would have the 30 second weapon respawns so it was actually a little more interesting to play but I guess that's why no one played Quake anymore before lol.

i hate most of the ults but all the other changes are good imo. everyone says they want Real Quake but its right there and no one plays it, and i refuse to believe it's solely because it looks dated lol

plus in duel/2v2 theres no item respawn indicators and the long weapon spawns are still there which is the only mode someone really hardcore about quake would play, but i really hope they change it so that everyone spawns on cooldown instead of with their power refreshed so that dumbassery like that clip wormskull posted doesnt happen, and this would help the other modes too. they make really significant changes patch-to-patch so i have hope

Also the duel/2v2 weapon respawns are 5 seconds, which is essentially quick play TDM style.

basically. when i watched brad and jeff playing either quake or some other arena shooter they were talking about how much they loved quake but hated strafe jumping and other core mechanics. basically most of the public just wants to run around and fire rockets and they get extremely upset when a single person can come into the server and be a literal god that finishes each round with 100 kills and 3 deaths so they quite forever. all the powers and poo poo would be awesome as a separate game mode to help level the field and keep normies in the game and id love playing those deathmatch servers like i loved playing occasional bouts of wc3 mod in cs, but keep them out of the Pure Experience

if they did that they could then make insane custom character builds like if you die 10 times in a row without fragging you spawn with 200/200 a wallhack and a full quad damage rocket launcher and no one would really give a poo poo

I don't know if you were talking poo poo on Quake but frankly, the most essential difference between the game you love to try to get people to play and the game I wish it was more like is the ults you say you mostly hate. So don't talk poo poo on Quake. Especially not in my thread. Biotch.

i wasnt you idiot lol, im agreeing with you. a lot of people, and by a lot i mean all but a handful of extremely dedicated quakepros dont have the patience for how og quake works, i think the changes qc made are good as far as being a lot more welcoming to normal people who just wanna frag without needing to practice and get their asses whooped for dozens of hours before it starts to click

It makes me want to shoot myself in the head with a tribolt the fact that as I've grown older and less patient, the games have slowed down and required you to sit in way more menus than ever, in all the games and game series I ever wanted to learn to play but got there too late, like Street fighter and Tekken and Quake.

noone being willing to spend 2 hours learning movement and stuff sucks. like, when i played tribes i didnt see some guy grab the flag at 10000 mph and quit because i couldnt do that... i freakin learned how! now the newest tribes-like is dead because it has slightly more difficult skiing mechanics than Tribes Ascend and most people were too lazy to relearn, and the other half of the community apparently liked the 1 minute long setup flag routes that relied on re-gening HP in that game. smh.

i guess ppl invest the time in learning every dumbass detail of the DOTA2 item shop and set nades in CSGO though. team games stand a better chance ., especially when they reach critical mass since you got the one insane friend who learns everything and passes it on to the 4 people he somehow conviced to play with him. no ones gonna download QC, play a duel where they barely tickle some bunnyhopping madman with their machine gun, and feel good enough to practice and try again.

Team games let you blame everyone else while your learning to not suck so it’s not as demoralizing, is my theory. Hence why team games have insanely worse communities and even the team modes in Quake are full of dillholes.

Team gaming fail.

lmao wtf. im getting irl friends into this fully expecting them to suck at first and like, who cares.

hey man, jump around more, learn where the gun you like is and go grab it, dont fight when youre low on health, etc. even if you were playing the serious comp mode why wouldnt you be the nice tutor instead of a total rear end.

It's the same way with fighting games. I went to an arcade with my brother and played on a Street Fighter 2 machine with him and all I did was pick Ryu and anti-air him over and over again and after two games he got really mad and refused to play any more. Most people just don't have the ability to self reflect on why they might be losing and how can they improve, they just want to play a video game and feel powerful for no effort, and if you put forth the effort then you're a tryhard or you're a no lifer who just plays the game all the time so that's why you're so much better.
