>>174909654
Why has no one bitched about Sorlag's ability yet? The acid literally covers your screen with a distortion like a zombie game. Your screen is effectively blacked out in an arena shooter. No one has a problem with this yet they throw a fit about everything else?

It's literally killing the fat fuck in Left4Dead and you get the goo screen, or any zombie game that has a bloated version, really.

>>174910441
sounds pretty bad, but according to the wiki page you only get this effect if you are hit directly by an acid projectile, not just from any acid damage (meaning if you walk on acid that was on the ground you don't get blinded)
so that's something at least

I really, really doubt that the eye in Sarnath is actually Orbb.

>>174910981
Nah I ran through a blast in mid air, I don't think under circumstances should your screen be blacked (or greened) out in an arena shooter.

>>174911226
Because games got more streamlined and people lose patience for these kinds of games where they aren't winning half the time or have someone else to blame.

I know it sounds like mad ramblings but it's true. Look at your favorite online series and tell me it's not.

for practice either use quake live's acceleration tutorial level and put cg_speedometer 1 into the console, or pirate quake 3 load a map and put ch_speedometer 1 in the console

>>174926539
This applies to everyone, especially Visor who does not have a speedcap.

However, Sorlag, Anarki, and Clutch are all very different in terms of movement.

For Anarki, it's similar to CS in that you strafe without W and turn your mouse smoothly to turn in air.
For Clutch, i'm pretty sure strafejumping just doesn't work to gain speed. You have to stay on the ground and run in a straight line to accelerate, but you can do sharp turns to keep accelerating.
For Sorlag, I'm not sure, I never played her but it seems like you can just ignore strafejumping and just do whatever with your keyboard as long as you hold spacebar.

its probably less trouble to download warsow and just play offline to practice desu
no crouch sliding unfortunately but it has every other type of movement in qc, including wall jumps

>>174926815
A few corrections for that second half of your post:
-anarki and sorlag have the same movement, but sorlag has less base speed and a lower speedcap
-they can both stafe with w, a/d, and w+a/d
-clutch can strafe jump, but his speedcap is very close to his base speed (https://quake.bethesda.net/en/champions/315auFgxmEAc8CiK4Ai4Qy)

>>174924578
>this is the kind of player that gets a beta invite
cant they just run a quick ip scan to see who lives where and just filter out all of the russian ip's

>>174928289
Sorlag has the same tight aircontrol as Anarki?

I played a shit load of Clutch trying to get first place, and I can safely say beyond a shadow of a doubt, jumping makes you lose speed no matter what unless you're going down. The only thing that gains speed is running, on the ground, straight.

I wish they added a practice tool to test this out.

Also that Clutch chart lies, you can get a lot higher than 320 or whatever that red marker is on using Acceleration.

>>174921815
it's a f2p game

>>174930275
disregard that I suck cocks.
looking over a vod it seems like his max is about 320/330 while I was running.
would post but I'm sketchy about posting more, even if I censor them they could backtrack me with game data looking at the other players. triangulate my position and ip ban or something.

but I'm still fairly certain that strafejumping doesn't slows him or doesn't give him speed.

Here's the fastest route I took in a match. I try to walk in straight lines as much as possible with sharp turns, and to walk when I'm taking shots.

They basically want you to play him like you are a bot, which is fitting. Might give noobs bad habits.

>>174932951
>that speed gain
I can't tell if it's actually from the side strafe speed gain or some shitty physics dealing with stairs.

>>174933861
Slopes give you speed in this game. The middle of Burial Chamber is clear to see this.

>>174934092
>The middle of Burial Chamber is clear to see this.
I never go on the middle cause I'm always just killing the retards going for the quad from the side.

>>174934176
Yea you bounce really far off of it if you go down from the top.
My favorite is the SSG spawn by the rail, you get the best angles on so many positions. You can weave in and out, and watch the entrance to your jump pad.

Why would I go try out playing Quake Live with it's 2001 graphix XD and only die-hards playing. All those games are old and bland, or I've never even heard of them. Reflex? What's that? Why should I care?

QC lets me be a turboshitter and play a badass hero with personality and bull rush through the Quad room for glorious kills. Plus, QC has already been discovered by my pleb friends, and it's going to be F2P too.

>>174939570
They're making a bold move with QC trying to fish more people to the genre by going with the f2p formula with mobashit abilities and loot crates. First time something like this has really happened.
I'm hopeful. The abilities themselves don't seem entirely gamebreaking, the core of Quake is still there. This might be the jolt this series need, I hate to say it.
Plus there will be a barebones mode. I don't see this failing as long as you can skip the bullshit.

Its true, I think the reason quake live and the rest are ded is because its only elitists oldfags still playing. Its just too hard to get into. While QC is fresh and there will be an influx of newfags like myself, makes the game much more enjoyable.

>>174940994
yeah, being new and fresh worked perfectly fine for unreal tournament 4

>>174941218
The best move they can do for adding players is to put an MMR system to duel so that people can actually learn at their own pace instead of being thrown into the shark pit like every other game. That's what turns people off the most.

>>174940994
quake live isnt dead despite cherry picked screenshots

>>174941409
ut4 has beginner servers where anyone above a certain level can't join. you can even see the average skill level of players (ELO) before you join a server. iirc it also has match making (wip). it's still dead.

literally the only reasons QC might become popular are account progression and abilities, both things no quake player ever wanted. f2p will also ruin the community like it did with tf2. i'd rather stick to quake live and get my ass handed to me than playing QC.

>>174954315
CPM has the most movement options. Not only air control but you can keep your speed without holding W.
Look up "aerowalk stairjump cpm"

Imagine it like this:
>vq3
Somewhat balanced between dodge and aim
>cpm
Dodging is op, if you're good enough at not getting hit, you become a god

I played q3 since 2000, and I played CPMA ever since it was a thing, and now having played Q:C, I really hope the game gets going, it's real fun.

Makes me feel good that not even Counter-Strike elitists stayed on 1.6. And that's before CSGO went full jew. No matter how many whiners or boycotters there are, the activity will slowly move to the newer game and people will slowly realize it isn't as bad. Even though it won't be objectively better than the previous game, it doesn't really matter and it's not like they will take down the old servers. Give it a few months after launch and it'll be nothing but POST YOUR RANK.

So who wants to see Ranger slay eldritch horrors and cross paths with Great old Ones?

The things they did with his tiny facial expressions and tics make him more interesting and alive than what you see in most modern AAA game MCs.

There's a shittonne of ways Arena Shooters could innovate without diluting the formula but it's all being shelved to focus on DM and Quake cloning from indies or stuffing them with modern features nobody asked for like loadouts from AAA studios.
Like they could be making an arena shooter where you get a full parkour movement kit, or one with large-scale combat modes, or a pseudo-realistic one with low TTK themed after some sort of dystopian bloodsport or they could just add inventive features like every level being highly dynamic or multiple viable melee weapons being part of the arsenal or something completely bonkers like Chaos UT. Instead they just clone Quake or UT except worse due to lack of style and content.

I just remembered the adrenaline system in that game being kind of fun and that space map with the nuke on top. Never played it much beyond lan parties.

>>174971643
To a large part I agree, but the major problem is the playerbase. An innovative game will, at least at first, receive less interest than a more familiar one. Quake clones barely get a playerbase as it is, I can't imagine even a great game that's a bit different gaining any significant amount of attention.

Have they said anything regarding mods in QC?

>>174972059
only if they can sell them on the store

>>174973041
Could b good

>>174971961
Games that are "A bit different" spring up all the time, though. Especially on PC. Rocket League is a bit different, Dead by Daylight is a bit different, Warframe was a bit different. Hell, even Overwatch is a bit different, superficial comparisons to TF2 aside.

>>174972059
Highly unlikely given the f2p status and use of an in-house engine, unless they spend a lot of time developing a restricted set of mod tools/editors. Without an entry cost they can't have *anything* sucking up potential cosmetic sales, they'd need a premium version or something. The only way Dota and TF2 get away with it is by building a literal economy around their skins that modifications can't touch, QC's lootbox system is basic as hell.

>Rocket League is a bit different, Dead by Daylight is a bit different, Warframe was a bit different. Hell, even Overwatch is a bit different, superficial comparisons to TF2 aside.

Those are a bit different but idk if they feel like arena shooters to me. I haven't played rocket league but the others I've played a bit.

I played it a bit like a year ago. Have they decided on a movement system yet? I watched some gameplay a few days ago and it looked a bit slow, but I honestly can't say before I play it.

I just installed it last night, about to hop on.

>>174973506
They're *not* arena shooters, they're just games that got a decent following from nothing(Aside from Overwatch because Blizzard is yuge and could build a following for anything) by being fairly original.

Quake 3 has strafe jumping
CPMA is a mod for Q3
CPMA adds air control and lets you keep your speed while jumping

His ability is that there is no limit to how much speed he can get. You don't need to strafe in QC just jump and hold a direction.

Why did Quake have such a hard time staying relevant?

Why were Quake players not that easy to find even way back in the early 2000s, but in CS 1.6, for example, you could always easily find servers?

Why is QL played by only 1000+ people, while a game like CS GO has a player base of hundreds of thousands, and is one of the two most popular shooters out there at the moment?

It can't be the transition from f2p. Both QL and CS GO cost about the same amount of money. And CS is known to be played by lots of poor third worlders. Neither can it strictly be the intimidating skill barrier, since CS is far from a low skill ceiling.

And to think that CS evolved from Quake in the first place... where did it go so wrong? Why was fate so cruel to such a great game and series?

>>175013875
nobody likes getting OWND and then they literally cry on mic and ragequit and go play counter strike or some other faggot fuck casual game like tetris or overwatch
although tetris isn't casual at all fight me on nullpomino harddrop

>>175014353
But that's one of my points. CS isn't casual and yet it's doing so much better.

>>175014763
character customization in the form of skins
loot boxes
ranks

>>175013875
CS with both 1.6 and Source has and had lots of viral videos/images/maymays based on it, thus attracting a good amount of people to it and even more with GO, not to mention streamers and esports drama that people seem to love. Also since it's "new" instead of a "reskin/update" like QL it brings in new blood. Quake is just used as gaymer cred for being so hardcore for playing an oldschool fps but no one actually plays it because they can't get into it and end up 3/20 on their first go and quit instead of trying to get good. Also QL grafix are pretty bad, especially compared to CSGO, and there are many people who wouldn't play it just because of that.

>>175013875
It has a skill barrier but it's not intimidating. You can get the jump on people and feel like you're good. You can essentially come back from any situation even with shit weapons. You can blame you're team.
Anyone can learn how to click walking heads and spray patterns.

In Quake, the basics of the game are advanced. Movement, map knowledge, pickup timers, etc.

Fair point. I'm curious if QC's loot box system will manage to ramp up its popularity.

>>175014929
>viral videos/images/maymays
Now that I think of it, I can't remember almost any of these related to Quake. Although Quake has some of the most impressive frag videos and montages, entertaining even to non-quakers. I show my normie friends a Quake vid with awesome plays every now and then, and they're always amazed, but when I invite them to play some they're not up for it.

>Quake is just used as gaymer cred for being so hardcore for playing an oldschool fps but no one actually plays it
Sadly true.. if half the people who praise it actually played it, it would probably have at least as many players as tf2.

>>175014932
Yes, but this sort of goes both ways, in that you can control the map and items better and compensate for bad aim, whereas in CS if your aim is bad you're pretty f'ed and you also can't get right back in the action after dying, since it's round-based. And there's also the snowballing effect of better players getting higher income and putting you at an increasing disadvantage.

>>174999371
>that shepherd that jumps in just to fit in with all the labs and retrievers

Will they eventually make a HUD option for the timer to count up, or do I need to learn to time items counting down?

>>174985791
Most of it is simpler than you think, it's the bot taking what the player said and repeating it back to fill in the blanks of a premade sentence.

>>175006367
totally.
I offered as much feedback as I could. I think I had pretty contrary opinions to /arena/. Told em' Clutch was solid, RG and RL are perfect and don't need changes, that Ranger is my waifu and SFX and lack of 3d positional audio are the biggest weaknesses atm.

So the previous beta survey I wrote a long af breakdown of everything wrong with the game. I don't need to repeat it for this week's survey right? It makes my answers for this week look empty and nothing good to say.

>>175013875
Tell me of another shooter from 1996-1999 that still has people playing it daily. CS1.6 was always normie shit for third worlders that wanted low TTK and having to stand still while shooting. The people with taste played Action Half-Life and The Specialists.

all armor in quake 3/live absorbs 2/3 damage and slowly ticks down
in quake 1 and 2 the top tier armor absorbs a shitload of damage and you can't grab low tier armors if you're above a certain amount
in quake 1 picking up a yellow when you have a red will completely replace your armor and absorb less damage
i probably got some of that wrong but i only casually play quake online

has anyone tried to data mine the QC beta yet and if so did they find anything cool?

VQ3 defrag videos are more impressive to me because of how much harder it is to make turns and keep speed in it.

Is there even a reason to use source ports for Quake 3? I just want to mess around in some mods.

HAL9k is probably the best CPM player there ever was

It's sad to see that he plays Battlerite casually now
