if quake were better with abilities how come nobody played it this way until now

if you need abilities to get kills and you defend them you're a shit tier arena shooter player who needs cod tier killstreaks just to get on the scoreboard.

I honestly don't get the hate, with the addition of abilities, every player no matter how good or bad can get some fragz by pressing F. This makes the game more fun for everyone, it's kind of like crit rockets in Team Fortress 2.
>>
The abilities aren't the fucking problem with the game.
The differences in starting/max health/armour, speed and hitboxes are.
>>
>>175919486
I agree that's even worse but abilities have potential to be just as bad if not worse since they'll keep adding more champs in to turn a profit.

the different stats are balanced by the fact that some abilities are better than others. have bad stats? get great ability and vice versa.

it's fine as is, it worked for overwatch as well.

Weird considering Quake Live for a long time was pretty popular. Then they started charging for it so naturally the community isn't going to "grow" anymore. Few people are going to pay to try out Quake unless they were already invested into it.

Games like Toxxic and Reflex are plagued with poor marketing that ensure the games remain obscure. Obscure multiplayer games with a price tag are pretty sketchy purchases.

While UT4 is a game that entered Alpha way to early and has taken way to long to come out (it's still not out after almost 3 years).

if only epic would put ut4 on steam. i've played and paid for less polished early access games on steam, i don't know what's stopping them. the game is already pretty good.

on one hand they want the community to develop half of the content and on the other hand they do absolutely nothing to help the community grow. all hype has gone, a lot of people don't even know you can already play ut4. i didn't find out until a year ago, because there is zero marketing.
also, fuck them for focusing on their god awful third person moba.

i just want some vehicle maps, but at this rate it's never going to happen.

ut4 is wasted potential.

I agree entirely. Epic isn't really invested in Unreal Tournament 4 from the looks of it. They've done minimal marketing for the game. I can only recall there being some back when the alpha first started,

Which is a shame because the maps and such that they produce are absolutely wonderful. But at this rate the game really is dead unless they get their shit together and start marketing the game hard. A miracle would have to happen though. If they could capitalize on the "hardcore" FPS community on Twitch, Youtube, etc through Twitch streamer marketing it'd probably work out.

Alpha has been going on for 3 years. Prestigious modders from the UT2004 community are involved with the games development. As you can imagine since the game is still in alpha, development is extremely slow. Virtually no marketing for the game so old players aren't interested and potential new players don't know about it. Resulting in a pretty small playerbase.

I like how you guys are blaming everything on marketing when the game itself isn't even close to being finished and looks like a really bad duct taped game with unity assets except for that one map that had 1000 hours of MS paint poured into it. That's basically UT4 to me, that first map and the ugly as sin sniper rifle. It's a dead game, and I'm not even talking about the player base.

The arena genre is dead. Get over it.

Even if you market the game, people aren't gonna play it because "it's too hard".

The want instant gratification, they want classes, they want unlocks, they want cosmetic items and skins...

They don't want to practice in order to be good.

That's today's market situation. Look at Starcraft 2 for example. It's an amazing game and it was well marketed... but it's pretty much dead, because it was way too hard to learn and be good at.

Kids nowadays are fed with gay shit. They think being homosexual is cool and feminism is a good thing. They don't like to be competitive anymore. They don't have enough testosterone to want to be the best at something and crush others.

Sad thing.

Quake Champions sucks so bad.

I do understand how attractive the game can be to casual players (like most of the people here). It's extremely easy to get kills with no prior experience, and you can use the special champions abilities to get kills/escape without particular effort.

Wanna know HOW BAD it really is?

I actually plugged my Xbox360 controller to test how casual the game is, and guess what...

I was at the TOP of the scoreboard!!

I'll repeat it in case you missed it:

I FUCKING ENDED UP ON THE TOP OF THE TABLE WHEN I WAS PLAYING THE GAME WITH A FUCKING CONSOLE CONTROLLER.

Being able to achieve that shit shows how fucking casual they made this game. They are ruining the image of the franchise.

It's like using the name The Beatles to make a comeback... and play shit songs like Justin Bieber. It's gonna be popular to the average low iq masses, but it's definitely gonna ruin the image of the brand.

R.i.p the name Quake.

I can't wait for the NDA to be lifted, so I can post the video of me playing with a controller on Youtube... it's gonna go viral for sure.

Enjoy your game, casual cunts. I hope you spend a lot of money on useless cosmetic items and skins, so the devs can laugh when sipping champagne on their yacht in Monte-Carlo.

You mean, overlooking how Battlegrounds is one of the most popular FPS games that blew up out of no where? That game where you only win if you can outlive 100+ other players, any and all of whom that can kill you in a handful of shots, no respawns? I don't think its the difficulty that is the issue here.

Viral marketing on major game platforms like Twitch and YouTube can make virtually any game incredibly popular if they happen to get lucky enough. Battlegrounds, Five Nights at Freddy's, Rainbow Six Siege, etc.

I have been playing for a good bit since the beta was opened again. it feels like overwatch if you add a payload it would be overwatch arena. list of my dislikes -abilities (fixable with non ability game modes) -"heros" (I don't mind having different characters but them having different stats is where I start taking issue the point the quake formula is everyone on the same playing field no one has a advantage for picking something "better") -hand holding (the difference between a good quake player and a noob is the time spent learning the game it's called a skill ceiling its what adds replayability to the game and helps foster a fan base. and yes even overwatch has a skill ceiling, but having my hand held for no reason other than it attracts new players that's boring after a week of playing. easy fix make it an option if you want it keep it on if you don't turn it off) -the announcer (yes I know it's petty but the same issue was in doom and btw it sounds like vega with some bass try to take inspiration from previous arena shooters and use that to gage it)

those were my feelings on the game I love the stuff you can do to your "hero" keeps the interest but other than that I feel that the game will fall short for the dislikes I listed kinda like the doom multiplayer I also have the feeling the devs won't give a shit anyways because companies have a way of shitting on their fan base by not caring but one can only hope. I love quake please don't make it into a MOBA PLEASE.

>>175924856
You don't understand the difference between a game that is difficult for random reasons, and one that is difficult for skill reasons.

In Battlegrounds, where you land has an impact... your luck to find a gun has an impact... so many things that are out of your power, are making the game difficult.

How can you deal with someone sniping you from a bush far away? You basically hide and go slow, which is a matter of patience, not skill.

You don't have to be good at that game to succeed, so please, don't use it as an example.

Viral Twitch marketing made R6 Siege popular game? Lmfao. Ubisoft, is literally the company using the most marketing (even more than Activision and EA). It worked because they k ow what they are doing... AND because the game is casual enouh to be attractive to the general masses.

While you're not wrong in your general assessment of the game's beginning. That isn't the real appeal of the game. The appeal of the game is that everyone has a high lethality and individual skill is all that matters. Kind of like Quake.

Certainly the game is slower due to a combination of slower movement speed and the strong advantage one has in cover due to the third-person view. But to say people aren't interested in difficulty (which was the original point, not "skill difficulty" vs. "patience difficulty") is pretty silly.

R6 marketing has been nothing particularly special. The game markets itself in the same way a lot of popular games do, word of mouth.

At any rate, your post was cancer. I now have cancer.

This board is full of fucking casuals that literally never played a real arena shooter in their life. Yet, they're defending this Overwatch/Team Fortress 2 clone trying to appeal to the masses in lrder to sell cosmetic items and skins.

I'd honestly beat the living shit out every single bitch saying that Quake Champions is remotely similar to the old Quake games.

I don't give a shit if you have no reflexes to be good at arena shooters so you play cod, overwatch or quake champions... But at least, have the decency to show respect to Quake and understand that what you're playing is just another casual game.

The point wasn't a comparison. It was about how a large quantity of people could be legitimately interested in arena shooters despite them being "difficulty" (which was the main counter-argument). Because despite said argument, people like games like Battlegrounds which is exceptionally punishing. Arguably more so than arena shooters.

quake is about map control (which takes skill), not frags.

also, quake has a relatively high TTK compared to more popular shooters.

if you have a low TTK, you get oneshot by random projectiles or bullets. this gives you now time to evade, removing an entire layer of skill. movement is a big part of arena fps and so is dodging. instant kills make dodging impossible.

you mention the rocket launcher as having a low TTK, but the rocket launcher is not an instagib rifle, it has a (compared to shitscan) slow moving projectile, which can be evaded by a skilled player. the travel time is part of the TTK.

let's say you have 100 hp in a game. there's a rifle that deals 100 damage and one that deals 1 damage. with the first rifle you have to land 1 shot to kill (very low TTK). with the second rifle you have to land one hundred shots to kill (very high TTK). which kill takes more skill to execute with an accuracy of 40%? which rifle gives the opponent a higher chance to dodge with superior movement skills? the one with the low TTK or the one with the high TTK.

face it, low TTK makes the game less skill based. instagib is literally the casual mode of arena fps.

you do play these games, right?

You still don't see the difference between the two genres...

The original Quake required good reflexes and skill. Nothing else. The only thing affecting the difficulty of the game was the speed of your reflexes and hand/eye coordination.

The difficulty in Battlegrounds, on the other hand, is defined by so many different factors. You don't even need to have good reflexes... You can just camp in a bush and kill people running in an open field. So many factors come into play. And, by the way, the game is not difficult at all. You can see plenty of youtubers playing it for the first time and win.

Strong comparison.

At least, tell your kids to stay in school, and not drop out, like you.

The guy is not our fucking guy. He complains about games for no reason. His video on air control is completely based around the fact that he's a person who plays CA all the time and thinks no self-damage on rockets combo-ed with air control is bad.

He also hates on Quake 4 without really knowing the game. I imagine he's secretly harboring resentment because crouch sliding has the same issues with rocket jumps in CA as CPMA does.

>reflex
>100 or less
Dumb. Concurrent playerbase during a day for reflex is higher than 100. What's even the point in saying "concurrent players" without defining a time period.

I agree that people don't give interesting games a shot. Wickland was really good. I didn't enjoy the general art style or the weapon design (as in the aesthetics) but it was a very interesting game. Died extremely quickly and never really had a big playerbase to begin with. But the 'pure' arenafps games in general do well considering how little marketing is behind them. When Quake Live was released it was pretty damn popular, despite having the stigma browser games had back then. Pure FPS isn't dead.
>loadouts haven't been on the servers
The people who complained about that probably have the perception that there's a slippery slope or they simply don't understand the game.
TB is definitively not going to understand this game or the issues people have with it though. He's not an arenafps person, he has familiarity with the genre he just doesn't really understand the games.

I suspect he's going to take the approach the shills in this thread takes and say that it's different and not bad because that's going to be popular with his audience. I'm ok with abandoning Quake but it feels like a waste because this is just a throwaway project for a major IP.

You're talking about peak players. Concurrent players over X time period is how many unique players the game has visiting during that time.
Yes if he said peak he'd be correct.

I don't play QL much anymore so I can't say if he's right in terms of peak with QL but it sounds odd that they wouldn't break 100.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_user
This is where it comes from and it's what people refer to all the time when they're serious about the stats. TB has a lawyer background and he's been in games forever now he shouldn't be making these mistakes.

If he meant peak (which by the way is more specific because concurrent users doesn't define what evaluation function you have for the time period, it could be concurrent users at the lowest point for instance, the valley) he's right about all those games except QL.

Because that's the fucking issue with saying such vauge things. The interpretation of what's the "conccurent playerbase" in that graph ranges from 943 to 202.

If you mean peak say fucking peak. It's not even wordy.

Exactly.
Max concurrent users. If you measure only along the Y axis of these graphs that's the case.
Concurrency always happens at some timescale. When you say max you've added another dimension to this and evaluated the concurrent users over a time period and call your result the maximum.

Just saying concurrent users means what I linked to on wikipedia.

Seriously anon. Do you have any compelling argument for why we shouldn't call 24 hour (or whatever timeframe you want) peak the 24 hour peak instead of "concurrent users" (which doesn't define the timeperiod, evaluation method or even if you're measuring the aggregate or a timesliced version of the playerbase).
And that's ignoring the fact that there's a well established definition which contradicts the idea that it would be a 24 hour peak.

If you're so dumb you can't even understand that you meant a peak when it's on the very site that you linked to you're probably just retarded.

what you linked to on wiki was a definition from computer science, concurrent means the same fucking time. that's the argument, the definition of the word "concurrent". reflex never has more than 100 concurrent players online, or to say it in a way you might understand, it never has more than 100 players on at the same time during the day. that's the argument that TB puts forward. learn english

Look at this picture. It's from steamcharts. It has the words "peak" and "players" above a number in what's called a table. A table groups information by type and gives you a faster way to express a number of things. But it's not that important that we focus on the chart.

Fucking browser posted before I was done.
The peak implies that for the time measured there were never more players around than the number that's stated there.
This is what you're describing.
What I'm arguing is that concurrent players/users is not the same thing as peak players/users.
I'm not saying that Reflex doesn't have less than 100 peak players right now.

I'm sorry I can't explain this better if you still don't understand.

I know we're all having fun shitposting but does anyone else who has a lot of duel expereince, how do you feel about the new duel?

I've played about 10 of em and I'm not sure how I feel yet. The champs never felt like that much of a factor (against good people anyway), but getting stacks felt very weird as nyx/slash/anarki just because you don't get as much health as you think you should when you're running mega/ra.

I think we need more maps to duel on. dm6 has always been a great duel mode but the person out of control has always had to play extremely slowly and cautiously, mostly because the dude in control has such vast sightlines with the rail.

I'm willing to keep an open mind, but I'm not loving it just yet. I am super fucking excited for ctf though with the champs I think that will work fantastic.

>but does anyone else who has a lot of duel expereince, how do you feel about the new duel?
I don't have a lot by measure of the most competitive duelers of course but I have a few hundred games.
I think what the game mode lacks is the situational awareness you were able to have in QL or any other Quake derivative. The map size changes have made the rail your primary weapon (until you're close enough for LG anyway).
I don't think the abilities work well for this gamemode at all. They're not balanced for this. They're either very good utility (any movement passive is great) or they're useless (slash active for instance).

I don't think Duel will be improved. There's so many changes needed.

Quake Champions is probably the worst game I've played in the last decade.

It really feels like Overwatch and the shooting sensation reminds me of the game Evolve, if anyone even remembers that flop.

The devs are literally using the name Quake because it sounds familiar and might attract some people.

It's more of a kind of slow MOBA FPS. You have better ones in South Korea that are f2p too. I'll just pass...

There's no reason to ditch Overwatch (which I paid 60 bucks for) for a bad free to play copy-cat trying to use the reputation of the Quake franchise in order to attract people.

I'll give it 1/10, simply because the gore and graphics are o.k... otherwise it's a straight 0/10.

It's weird only having 3 lives I don't like it. I would however like to see a more pure hoony mode, as in you pick spawn and your opponent counter picks spawn, then they could pick a champ and then you counter pick that champ. Then you just need to frag them once for a point. Hoony mode was always fun and I think that would work better than the 3 life thing.

>>175933065
I agree rail feels far too strong in duel right now, but that might just be because it's dm6. Rail has always dominated dm6. I disagree with the abilities, I've actually found those to be very interesting in duel. And slash's ability is very good, being able to lock a door behind you and making it impassable is very strong in duel. Altho slash should get her 25hp back.

No one dislikes new things. The thing that we hate is this...

Developers that make changes with one goal in mind:

TO MAKE MORE MONEY.

You're so naive to think that the devs just want to bring something new to the game to make it better.

Don't you find it strange that they are LITERALLY using the exact same economical model as other currently successful games. They just want more and more casual low iq cunts, like you, to purchase shitty cosmetic items and skin boxes.

So they give the game free, give classes to make your small homosexual penis go up, and they make the game as casual as it can humanly be.

Why do that? To bring some change to an old franchise, maybe?

Nope.

They just want to attract brainless little cunts that have no skill for hard games... and once they start playing, they milk them out their/their mom's hard earned cash.

Get a job as a marketing consultant in the industry, and you'll understand everything.

Peace.

Casual little kid.

Stop being delusional, again.

I'm talking from first-hand experience in the field. I don't care if you like such casual games, that's your problem... but just don't try to argue with someone working in the fucking industry while you're just another low iq dropout thinking that the devs in 2017 care about making some breakthrough games.

>>
>>175936375
Yes, that's esports in 2017.

Remove the challenge, make the game casual, get people to fall for it, make more money, repeat.

If it was real esports like back in the CS 1.6, Quake 3 Arena, Starcraft and DotA... the devs wouldn't be making the game more and more casual with every single patch. Just look at the patch notes of Dota 2 for example and you'll see the changes they are making...

They're not even hiding it. They are honest and they said they are making the game easier so they can get more players and be as popular as LoL.

Is that the true spirit of esports? Making the game less competitive, so you can create an esports hype to get more money.

Again, I've worked in the industry as a marketing consultant, and I know all the strategies used by the big and small studios.

Esports in the early 2000s is far away from what they call "esports" today.

Thats clearly cpm movement you can't turn like that vq3, and the shortcut on that map is for a secret. If you don't go the main way the ending is closed, took me forever to get a run that good and its not even good.

>that part around 5 seconds where I hit the wall and lose speed

I've spent untold hours in b0_beta6 and I still have never beat the last trial. I do just need to put more time into it but man I truly suck at it.

I actually think I have a better run than this one but I haven't made a new webm. Oh well its stylish looking
>>
>>175940145
ah, it's been forever since I played around with defrag. super cool that people still play it. always loved movement focused mods/games but I could never play them for very long because failing at the same thing for a whole day frustrates that shit out of me.
>>
>>175940383
but hitting that shit feels so gud
>>
>>175940530
totally, usually I'm playing tf2 jump servers or csgo bhop servers. hitting crazy speedrun strats in tf2 is so rewarding.
>>
>>175940383
>>175940596
in your opinion, what's more difficult? defrag or jump_?

i kind of want to learn defrag after spending so much time in tf2, but i'm looking for something casual, i don't want to dedicate 1000 hours to it.

defrag looks pretty hard
>>
>>175941105
Similar, but different. Defrag has an insane amount of intricacies that takes years to learn. If you have a large background in tf2 jumps you should be able to jump in and start having fun once you get the basics of strafe jumping down.

>the final run of this vid took months of planning
>>
>>175941105
would be hard to say, they're pretty even. defrag has some maps where PG climbing comes into play and I've always found that much more difficult than climbing with the rockets in tf2. defrag likes to do stuff like RJ, grenade jumps, PG climbs, and all the different movement quirks all together in a map whereas tf2 likes to increase difficulty in other ways that rely on only the rocket launcher and sometimes the shotgun to shoot a button or two. They're definitely both enjoyable and rewarding in very similar fashions. once you get timings down for sync jumping in tf2 so much opens up to you. kinda like jumping with one sticky bomb compared to jumping with two on demoman.

I have an extra beta code for Quake Champions, good luck.
>>
What exactly feels like Overwatch in this game? There are no tanks, no supports, no control points, no ults, no fast charging abilities. QC feels 80% like Q3A except for a few bugs (the rocket launcher being the biggest). Graphics are cool, the announcer sounds cool unlike that gay ass QL fag.

The heroes don't look like LEGO minifigures. Original maps beautifully rendered.
The weapons look like shit though, hope they make more reskins of q1-q3a weapons.

If you wanted to play a popular arena fps you had to play TF2 up until now. QC is a lot closer to being an arena shooter than TF2, and Overwatch can't be classified as arena fps at all.

I thought Quake was dead after Quake 4 and I certainly didn't have any hopes for Betheshda making a decent Quake, after playing the beta I'm pretty positive.

Fuck off retards. Sure duel is absolutely abysmal, but they have forever to fix that. Aside from that the game is literally fine for a closed beta and less casual than cancerstrike, which many delusional baddies claim is a "skillfull" game.

Deathmatch in this game is objectively just as fun and skilled than anything I've played in ql, reflex. Sure some shitty sorlag or scalebearer might kill you once or twice with a gimmick or because of their retarded stack but ultimately you'll still topfrag by miles.

>>
Why didn't they just make Champions a mod mode you could CHOOSE to play like TDM, DM, Duel, CTF, CA, etc?

Why? Because it's shit and nobody would play it and their brilliant "idea" (that literally nobody who modded Quake ever thought was a good idea in 20+ years) that they spent so much time creating an entire game around would get exposed for how shit it is.

So instead, they double down and create the entire game around the retarded concept, forcing everyone to play NotQuake Chumpions.

I wanna say that if at least they had a no abilities, equal health/armor/speed starting mode, that it would be okay. But it won't be because it's not how esports games works. There has to be a competitive mode and this is the mode you have to play to experience the benefits of the game.

This game is trash and Quake only in name. There's not much else to say. It's too bad because a proper Quake esports game where the developers are actually putting some muscle behind getting it popularized would have been so cool.

It's the fact they paid to use the name "Quake" for their shitty Moba FPS. It's gonna mess up the franchise image.

Imagine asking the kids about Quake nowadays and they'll be like "oh yeah, that's the Moba FPS with all these heroes with abilities and perks!"

powers and abilities are the exact same shit, youre just listing more things to make it seem like theres more to it than there actually is

theyre not "ultimates" and they arent broken if you play the game longer than 5 hours and learn how to deal with each one

yes, this isnt your quake where every guy is an identical lime robot but theres nothing stopping you from going back to playing it

if id released an exactly the same quake as any other quake, then it wouldnt be any different, and it would die exactly like every other arena shooter died, regardless of marketing

why do you get this assblasted over some guys being different than others? if you think sorlag is too tanky then pick up a lightning gun you goof

learn and adapt instead of complaining like a baby

Just like Tribes Ascend...oh wait. Unless you are retarded enough to mean literally zero players as dead. I mean dead enough to be irrelevant.

That's part of the problem. The only point they serve is to imbalance the game.

> just go play any other quake game then, this game isnt going to be any different than the others if they made it identical
No they could have made a new proper Quake with good graphics and cosmetic mtx for the noobs and it would have been a goldmine over this retarded shit. Quake Live had none of this. Think like CSGO to CS 1.6
>>
>>175950337
It would die, because people are pussies (like you, and the other casual gamers) nowadays.

They don't like to have to work hard and practice for months in order to have some fun in a game.

Look at Starcraft 2. It's an amazing game, but it's dead because people are too gay and have no desire to practice in order to dominate the opponent.

The want instant gratification and feel like they've acheived something. There's no real competition these days. People play to unlock items and achievements, not to be the very best.

The arena shooter genre is dead, because the society has changed. It's still the genre that requires only skill and nothing else. No class, no perks, no powers. Only good reflexes are required, and everyone starts at the same place.

Thank god I had the chance to play the real Quake and the real Counter-Strike (1.5/1.6).

Not everyone is born with good hand-eye coordination, but at least you can have fun with your low skill casual games.

Clutch does not benefit from strafe jumping, everytime he lands he resets to base speed.

i find it mostly the mediocre duelers who talk trash about it. good players mostly enjoy it. i've played on ra or ca servers with fatal1ty, thresh, immortal, rapha, zero4 and many others.

duel is certainly the preferred mode but ca is the best team mode imho

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), is a genre of strategy video games that originated as a subgenre of real-time strategy, in which a player controls a single character in one of two teams. The objective is to
>destroy the opposing team's main structure
with the assistance of
>periodically spawned computer-controlled units that march forward along set paths.
Player characters typically have various abilities and advantages
>that improve over the course of a game and that contribute to a team's overall strategy.
MOBA games are a fusion of action games,
>role-playing games and real-time strategy games, in which players usually do not construct either buildings or units.

Sup guys,

Has anyone tried the new Quake Champions game? You can sign up to get a key for the beta. It's live now.

I've played a few hours and it feels like a mix of Brink and Overwatch. I'm a fan of MOBA games like Smite, but I don't think it works well in FPS.

The game is quite easy too and I ended up being at the very top of the table multiple times. I'm not even a "1337 Qu@k3 m@st3r". I usually play Smite and some Rocket League, yet I ended up with an impressive score.

The game is a relax one for casual gamers that don't like competition too much, but just want to relax after school or work. Don't get tricked by the title, because it's nowhere near Quake III Arena (the only previous Quake I played, years ago). You don't really need to have good reflexes and be on some kind of stimulating drugs to be good.

Worth a try, but nothing special about it.

I got the key to beta almost a month ago, but still didn't bother to play it, because of all the shitty technical problems. I can't even fucking start the game with 8GB of memory. I had to delete the config in appdata folder only to be able to start the game, because on high texture settings it eats up 16GB of RAM. Then it gives you black screen, forcing you to restart the PC, i had to force Windows Vista compatibility settings only to be able to actually see the game lobby. And it still crashes with memory leak when game arena loads up.

Fuck off Bethesda, i am not buying a memory plank for your shitty game. What the fuck, seriously. Do i have to lower texture resolution to low settings for it to even work?
>>
>>175962967
how are they reducing the skill cap? If anything learning multiple movement systems and passives would be more difficult no? wouldn't learning how to play against opponents with different capabilities would increase the strategic depth? Sure, there are a couple heroes with active abilities that actually do a ton of damage but those are fairly hard to land consistently. They're not reducing the mechanical skill required, there are no autoaim heroes, there are no heroes that don't need good movement except for clutch but he's also awful

this is the same argument overwatch players give when you tell them their game is for retards. what they dont consider is that the amount of things you have to learn does not make the game harder to play once you've learned them and since they're not complicated to learn it's not raising the skill cap.

>>175963680
the difference is that overwatch is very clearly made with accessibility first, this is why most heroes require little or no mechanical skill and why there's a hero for just about any skillset, it's why most ults don't require any mechanics so that a literal mouthbreathing retard moba player can use them to get kills if his timing is good. There is depth in that game but it doesn't come from dm mechanics.

qc on the other hand, is just a quake game with abilities. Someone who is new will still have to learn pickup timings, movement, aiming with every weapon, etc. there is no character that just revolves around pressing a fuck you button repeatedly with no mechanical skill required, you still need to play quake.
There's a lot of things to hate about qc but I don't see how it's lowering the skill cap of anything

that's because you're retarded and can't imagine scenarios at all involving anything but 100% acc on all weapons.
>>
>>175963358
It doesn't make it any harder...

In fact, the shitty abilities, passives and perks reduce the skill needed, because suddenly your reflexes don't matter anymore.

You won't gain anything now if you insta rail someone as soon as you see him... because he'd have some active 100% damage shield for example. So having fast reflexes won't be an asset anymore.

In order to win in QC, you'll have to learn all the spells and abilities, how to counter them, the timings, etc. This is the definition of MOBA, isn't it?

Are you serious right there? 750ti is a potato card bought by ruskies and brazilians to ruin Dota and Counter Strike. The game is really that ugly that you can run in with such a toaster? Welp, i guess i'll have to reinstall or something.

>>175964380
I already got past the black screen with compatibility settings. When i join the game, as soon as the map loads up, game crashes with Windows memory error. The only game which did this was Rise of Tomb Raider on max settings, that game required like 12 gigs of RAM on ultra. But this shit right here doesn't even look good for those specs.
>>
Never played any other Quake game or anything like it.
I put in like 10 hours today. QC is in one word awesome. I like TDM the most. I eagerly await CTF and other team-based game modes.

I played only Slash:
SSG, RL, and gauntlet are my best weapons. Scored a triple kill with the nailgun and the gauntlet. Against the lightweights, the LG isn't that powerful, I hope they find some kind of change to make it not just obliterate the heavies. The RG isn't bad at all but it's DPS is so low assuming you don't miss, and if you miss you should just die and if you use it anywhere but except when you're airborne you're slowing yourself down dramatically by scoping. It's a lot better to just slot rockets at corners, intercept enemy paths and pickups- that kind of thing.

I think that's the reason for the scoping- to specifically make you slow down when using the two long range hitscan weapons. I actually took non-scoped shots for the 80 just to avoid the movement loss. So I'm changing my mind on the the whole scope = bad. Same goes for the HMG, which is incredibly powerful.

Slash's ability is awesome, no complaints.

Playing this game is flashy, fast, and fun. Those first two- the fact that it's flashy and fast, makes it good for streaming. This will probably be a fairly popular game on streams. Part of the fun isn't just winning- it's looking cool while you do so. Midair rocket shots, crazy rails, high mobility stunts, etc. all make that a thing. I look forward to more.

Good game.

>>
>>175964483
what? having better accuracy is as valuable in qc as it is in any other quake game
>>175964506
but reflexes do matter because the abilities aren't something that will come up in every engagement and even if they did most of them are hard to land anyway, requiring reflexes.

Yes, in that specific scenario instantly railing someone won't be valuable but it also won't be a detriment because he can't shoot you while he has his shield up. If he predicts your shot correctly and has you shoot his shield then you got outplayed.

Yes, you have to learn abilities, on top of also playing quake because most of the characters don't revolve around their abilities. The engagements are still going to come down to aim, movement and map control just like in every other quake game.
Have you played qc? because you're talking like someone who hasn't actually played the game. Once you do you'll realize that the actives barely matter because most of them are not that useful and the characters are defined by their passives

>>175964348
You're truly retarded if you don't see how abilities will have an effect on the skill needed...

In order for a game to be based solely on skill, you need to put everyone on the same level. Same guns, same accuracy, same health, etc.

To give you an example, if you want to see who is a better baseball player... would you give an aluminium bat to one player, and a wooden one to the other player? Of course not. You'd give the exact same equipment and put both players in the exact same conditions so the only remaining factor becomes skill.

Same thing with Quake.

Now, with the different abilities, skill doesn't become the only variable of your success in the game. Now, someone can have some perk that regens his hp, that gives immunity, that gives evasion, etc.

And now, you can't just start shooting someone right away. You need to take a second or two to analyse who is in front of you, which abilities are on, which abilities are on cooldown, etc. This makes skill and reflexes nowhere near as important as they should be in a real competitive game.

Quake Champions is perfect for casuals who don't like to practice to be good... and for people that jack off on expensive skins and cosmetic items.

The only right answer.
Chess is a skillful game because it's about how you play the pieces. Not because one side has to play without a queen and the other has no pawns.

Millennial logic:

>SC -> AoS, WC3 -> Dota -> LoL/Dota 2
>So...Quake -> Quake Champions is the logical succession
>RTS games were too complex for noobs
>pure action/no macro is more popular
>Champions help level the playing field similar to a way removing macro is helpful for noobs

How it actually works:

>AoS and Dota were user created maps, created by the community and popularized by the community
>Gained so much popularity they were bought or made by giants in the industry
>What's most analagous to maps in Quake is mods
>Nobody ever created moba mods in Quake because it's a retarded idea
>Bethesda ignores and decides to do it anyway
>The most popular game mode that was a "casualization" of Duel/TDM was Rocket Arena
>Rocket Arena removes the item game complexity
>focuses on pure movement and shot placement
>Bethesda ignores the most popular pure Quake mod and insists on casualizing a game in a way that makes no sense under any form of logic
>Blames the difficulty of duel on Quake's lack of popularity when it's actually there own retardation for not trying to make a game around the most popular Quake mod
>All the other popular Quake mods blew up and became mega famous

>>175965934
your baseball analogy doesn't make sense. Players in any sport have different roles and you cannot directly compare their skill because they do completely different things. This will be the case in any team game. qc is not a team game. There is a grand total of one instance where an active ability is hard countered by another active (visor vs nyx)

A better example would be fighting games, where the characters are different yet you would never say that a player is good because he plays X character

>Now, someone can have some perk that regens his hp, that gives immunity, that gives evasion

So you didn't actually play the game. Because none of these are in the game. The only character with any kind of immunity is clutch and he gives up any mobility for a 20% reduction + a shield which makes him unable to shoot and is on a 40s cooldown. He's a garbage tier character exactly because he has no mobility in a quake game.
Anarki has an instant full heal which seems stupid on a surface level but when you actually play him you'll quickly realise that in any engagement the heal is useless because it takes your gun away for 2 seconds and gets you killed more often than not.

>And now, you can't just start shooting someone right away.

absolutely not true. There is no situation where shooting someone right away is a detriment to you

Stop judging things based on surface level observation and actually play the game.

Did you even play a real Quake game? You obvious didn't, because you're defeinding this shit MOBA game.

Did you know that your reflexes are faster when you're using the right-brain part (creative side)?

And did you know that having to analyze and think about the different abilities and powers is making use of the left-brain part (logical side)?

Now, in case you dropped out from school, or in case you're just too young to attend it (might be possible judging by your arguments), I'll tell you some basic knowledge you should have acquired before trying to argue online and defend a shitty casual game...

You can either use the left OR right side of your brain. Not both at the same time. So tell me, how can the game be based on skill, if you can't even fully use your potential?

I don't think so, nor does any sane person.

I see a bunch of people complaining about abilities being free kills.

I'm kinda baffled by that. Most of the abilities just help a little bit, from my experience. Ranger's and Nyx's seem really good (though Nyx is basically just for escaping, realistically), but the rest don't seem like game-changers at all. I get maybe 2 ability kills per game, and most games I don't die to anyone's ability at all. Maybe the people in my matches just don't know how to use them well?

Fighting game matches are a lot more contained of an environment though. Not only is it one v one, but you've only got a very limited amount of options you can choose from, and they all have ways to counter them. Anything "too strong" inherently balances itself out at least to a degree by it's counter getting used more often.

The whole problem with the quake champions changes is that there's no counterplay to the abilities, or to someone having more health than you.

Hitscan is the noob's weapon of choice. Opponents can't dodge the shots through superior movement and it requires no movement prediction. It also can't be used to hit shots on enemies that aren't in your line-of-sight, hitscan weapons require no gamesense whatsoever. You only shoot at what you see.

Why exactly would a 'better player' actively walk into the line-of-sight of his opponent where he can easily instead of shooting grenades or rockets around corners and where they predict their enemy will be? You don't actually watch tournaments, do you? Hitscan is used when needed, most of the time people will run around with the RL.

of course you will pick the weapon with the lowest ttk. but landing one shot with the sniper takes less raw skill thank landing 20 shots with the pulse. you don't even play ut, do you.

>>175976536
>You don't actually watch tournaments, do you? Hitscan is used when needed

Yeah, exactly. And "when needed" happens to be when a projectile doesn't suit the situation because the opponent can move to avoid it or break line of sight along with any position splash damage would hit before the projectile arrives.
>>
>>175974802
I was like you, but after playing it more I think there is more value in it.

Rail is very powerful, so it's in a high risk location and with a very good jump pad. Same with the HMG, it's in a dangerous spot but the 2 health globe+3 hourglass behind the jumppad is a good spot. Also the ledges on the left mean that with top-level movement you can swing through that room with the HMG pickup with less risk than using the jump pad. You can also rjump or walljump up towards the mega from there.

The SSG is in a good spot, near the RA, easy pickup, right next to a gate, high ground to Rail pit, and a ton of corners nearby where SSG is power.

Spawn under the quad is certainly the worst spawn. However the best way out of there is over or around the eye and into the RA/tele hallway. Just... never go down to the RG pit first. I think they should put a second SSG spawn behind one of the walls in place of the ammo pickup in the bottom of the quad room. Movement through the high level of the Quad room is smooth, movement through the bottom is smooth- movement from low to high is death. So unless you're Ranger or something just don't do it.

Don't forget that there is a second RL spawn + healthglobe in the Quad room for Ranger. The LG spawns are on either side of the top level of the quad room- this actually makes the RL the second hardest weapon pickup on the map, but Ruins of Sarnarth is the best RL map.

Map is impossible to play as Clutch.

Oh thank god there's more raw skill involved in landing 20 shots with the pulse rifle, that must mean picking it when it's clearly worse in every situation isn't retarded and makes whoever opts for it the more skilled player for picking the worse weapon even though there's a clear better alternative.

You're complaining that it's more skillful to use a projectile when, in effect, making situational weapons projectile based has only ever made them less used in any real example you've brought up so far. I understand the argument fine. If someone's ignoring a gun altogether past a certain skill level it's not adding to the skill of the game at all, see: Plasma Gun in Quake being completely ignored over RL and GL, despite the effective damage being crazy.

hitscan takes more skill than projectile based weapons because the bullet has no travel time and shoots in a perfectly straight line. you're aim has to be perfect and you can't just spam corners for splash damage. predicting enemy movement is 99% luck, as you can't see the future. it's not something you can learn, i.e. a skill.

>>175977073
taking the jump pad usually means death if someone is around with a lg, and chances are, someone IS around
going for the hmg is a death sentence because its literally in a corner, so you have to corner yourself to pick it up, and even then its not the lg so its so easy to just skip it and go for that instead
shotgun might be in a good spot but you have no reason to drop down there if youre anywhere else

and also i hate how fucking empty the map feels
the room around the giant eye and hallway is devoid of anything
the room that is above the ra only has 1 measly health pickup
the maze behind the sng is completely unnecessary and is a sure way to get yourself shredded by the lg

this game seriously needs more maps

my biggest mechanical change to QC would be a faster weapon swap. Every weapon is good in the right situation, but things like the sng can't get used because the right situation exists for such small windows that the cost of the weapon swap is too high.

Or at least I'd love to see the SNG with slightly higher damage and the LG with slightly lower damage.

>>175979897
the ledges function as stairs. there's also a ledge in the RA room that's like, a Nyx exclusive or something I don't understand

why would you ever use the plasma gun? it shoots in a straight line, but is harder to aim (that is: to do reliable damage) due to it being a projectile based weapon. the bullets have travel time, giving the opponent time to dodge. it takes more effort to hit with the plasma gun. why would you not opt for the ez mode weapon in this scenario?

the plasma gun can't shoot around corners either. it's useless. but it not being effective in the vast majority of cases does not mean that it does not take skill to be effective with it.

>If someone's ignoring a gun altogether past a certain skill level it's not adding to the skill of the game at all
you are wrong, as long as the option to use it exists, the overall skill ceiling of the game is higher than without that option.
playing with the most difficult weapons is not always the most effective way to play. you use the railgun because it is effective, not because it takes skill. you don't use the plasma gun because it is not effective, not because it doesn't take skill.

I finally was able to play the game, after all those RAM troubles. Guess what, in Windowed mode it uses less memory than in Fullscreen, with zero difference in resolution, considering that i am using Borderless.

According to MSI Afterburner, on high settings the game uses 5.5GB of video memory, and 7.9GB of RAM, which forced me to turn off pretty much everything, like Steam, Skype etc to get as much memory i could.

Now when it comes to the game itself, i am really disappointed. To me it seems like heroes are really unbalanced, with those who have high HP being stronger. Bullet weapons are garbage compared to railgun or rocket launcher. Announcer voice is shit, soundtrack is depressive (gotta admit it was just as shitty in Q1). Everything is chaotic and it's really hard to guess how much does it take to kill someone, which makes players look clueless and non professional compared to Q3. Abilities? Didn't notice any serious impact on the game desu, no idea why they even added them. But it does add a P2W aspect to the game, because if that Quake marine will be the only hero available at first, he's gonna be severely underpowered in comparison to other dudes.

Basically, everything in this game stinks, it feels like a cheap b-grade Quake clone than a successor to the series. If they slapped a different name on it, most people wouldn't even notice. The only good thing is the original fast pace, everything else is either mediocre or totally awful. I give it 3\10 so far. Shit sux.

Deciding whether a weapon is projectile based or hitscan based is just an element to balancing the weapon. If the designers of Q3A were myopic armchair game designers like Projectile Guy and made every weapon in Q3A projectile-based "Because it's more skillful to hit!!!!", then the game's arsenal would be turned entirely into a linear hierarchy where the highest damage output easiest to land weapon would be the objectively best item in the game, lowering the overall skill level down to learning the one or two king guns that outclass all the rest, exactly the way it is in Unreal, instead of learning which situation every weapon in the whole kit suits best and learning to use all of the weapons effectively in those situations.

who said anything about turning every weapon into projectiles? i'm fine with futuristic laser weapons being hitscan, but using hitscan on a weapon that uses bullets is lazy design. at least you're agreeing that projectile based weapons take more skill to execute.

the argument started here >>175972105
>it's literally the best shotgun design of any videogame
shotguns use bullets, not lasers. hitscan on bullet based weapons will never be the 'best designed' weapon ever. that's like making the rocket launcher hitscan and calling it the best, it's fucking nuts.

>>175981386
best -shotgun- ever

it never RNGs, high risk high reward at close range and low risk very low reward at long range
