Most people not willing to drop 30 usd for an early access game that they can play for free just using Bethesda launcher, getting the champions pack as a requirement to play on Steam will only last until the game goes out of early access, after that the game will go fp2 which is when it's expect to have much better numbers on the steam version.

Also what kind of faggot would want to see a Quake game die when trash like PUBG dominates the market just because it has classes? Kill yourselves, you are the cancer of this industry, nitpicking maggots, the game is fun as fuck and actually requires and rewards indiviual player skill, thats all what should matter.

I had only Sarge, and i was set up against enemies with more health and armor and i kept fucking up expecting them to die in a quick 1v1 confrontation only to find out they have twice my health
I mean i come in with 125 combined health, and here comes some fucking fat ass hero with 350 fucking health tanking 2 rockets a rail to the face and not flinching while he blows me the fuck up in a second
I dont like it.

Are you trying to imply the fuck huge tank champions with more Hp are the ones that usually win? Because thats the opposite of what actuallly happens, mobility will always triumph, especially in a Quake game. There is no Sarge, but i think you are talking about Ranger, which has literally the same movement as Q3 had and can strafejump faster than it does in QL, you can fuck up any tank if you're familiar with all the movement options from older games that heavy classes simply aren't capable of.

It's just quake 3 with different stats and some abilities. If you know how to play 3 you will be good at QC by using the same weapons and movement you have been using for years, it still plays like an arena shooter. OW is not even a shooter that rewards your skill on the genre but is all about autistic team meta and ultimate spamming.

Movement, weapon and maps have always been the core of Quake games, that doesn't mean more features shouldn't be added. Why even make a new game if you are going to make just another clone, while the classics are still perfectly playable, are you retarded?

Also you don't support the genre at all, your dead copy pasted quake clones are pretty much irrelevant. All people like you is cry about how the genre is dead while not supporting any of the things that could keep it alive.

Literally only way for QC to live is to seriously promote community mappers, even if that means paying to include them in matchmaking.
We need a FUCK TON of maps, and maps specifically for a game mode.

Reminder that vanilla maps were almost never played bar Campgrounds and a few others - and even then pro versions were preferred. Live consists mostly of community maps included in the base game.

Yeah, nah. To succeed in 3/Live you needed the perfect mastery of every skill to succeed. In QC you go forward with superior LG and win. Which is why random newfags like Raisy can dominate well rounded players like Rapha.

Those are different. Arenashooterfags can't handle anything that's in any way shape or form different from the handful of games they played in the early 2000s, they won't even accept a slight graphical upgrade.

>To succeed in 3/Live you needed the perfect mastery of every skill to succeed.
Which is why people can pretty much only pick the same 3 weapons and always win? Lg got nerfed in QL for a reason, LG whoring has always dominated in high tier level, the nerf balanced things a bit, but QC has the same damage it did on 3, so hopefuly it willl get some nerfin as well.

>They removed everything that made Quake interesting.
No other game series features Quake movement like strafe or circlejump, quake maps or quake weapons, that's always been what makes quake interesting, if a bit of metagame really ruins all of that for you, thats your own biased point of view and i can pretty much assure you, you are the minority and there is nothing stopping you from playing the classic games instead, those are perfectly playable, and i know this as someone who still plays Live regularly and 3 once in a while.

>All people like you is cry about how the genre is dead while support games that aren't like it at all.
But i'm not crying at all, i enjoy QC and when i want to play classic i'm in Live, there is no real excuse for people not to play Arena shooters but only petty nitpicking.

There will probably be more players once it's F2P and everyone on Steam can get it.

>>388409921
I don't want to see it die just because it has classes but I don't really like that decision. It's not like picking the right class is the only thing that matters but it's going to cause unbalances within the game which I don't like.

I mostly stopped playing games with classes a while ago because of that, there are ALWAYS balance issues. I've never really played a game that didn't have classes still being changed years later because they weren't balanced, and to me, being at a disadvantage because you didn't have the right class isn't fun. It's a rock-paper-scissors mechanic which is shallow.

There hasn't been a single Q3 clone since QL which is why all these other games like Warsow and Toxikk are dead.

First of all because it's a complete antithesis of previous quake games which required you to master a whole bunch of skillsets to be the best. In those games, good aim was just an advantage rather than a guaranteed win in a fight.

But mostly it's because it's boring as a concept. If player A shoots better shaft than player B, then there's virtually no point in even watching this match since you already know the outcome.

So there are probably two worries that you guys have and hopefully I can put you at ease.
First being the powers. Powers are basically a tiny additional power that you can use, but they're not ultimates on Overwatch where you'd have to be an idiot to not kill the entire team. It can be hard even getting one kill with these powers. Skill still reigns king in this game. You'll still get fragged if you're a fucking idiot.
>1200 people
That's just the retards that bought it on Steam for full price in beta. The majority of people are playing it free through the Bethesda launcher. I've played it 5 hours and not had a single issue finding a match. Takes seconds.

The only issues this game has atm is the UI is garbage. Truly garbage doing anything. And I hear multiple people have network issues.

t. got the game free on steam from a friend

In case you're not retarded and just ignorant, QL was ruined by NuID with dumb decisions like adding a HMG for no good reason when chaingun exists and it's effectively just another LG situation.
Also while Steam Workshop integration is good, there's no support for custom gametypes and the server browser is a complete joke, least of all there being no integrated notification/steam group/chat feature for pickups and such.

Question: Why the fuck would anyone want to play with the beth launcher?
It's so bad, I literally can't install Quake, just to login, just to link to Steam, just to never use the launcher ever again, because it runs at like 1FPS and nothing will fix this. It is beyond broken, and I know it used to work fine before to boot.
>>
>>388413034
What other game has circle jump and strafejump? literally no other game has the same physics, even if other games are based on the same engine, in other games things like strafejump which were actually a glitch got fixed, in quake those were left there because they are actually fun as fuck.

>The things that made Quake fun was: Modding and mapping.
Those were always the extras, if the game isn't great alone, no matter how much mods it has, it will be always mediocre, quake was great because it's mechanics, gunplay and level design, any game can have modding.

Except for the bit where QW was only alive because of custom mods and maps, ranging from just a single grappling hook to Team fucking Fortress.

Quake was always just a foundation, for better and worse.

>Which is why people can pretty much only pick the same 3 weapons and always win? Lg got nerfed in QL for a reason, LG whoring has always dominated in high tier level, the nerf balanced things a bit, but QC has the same damage it did on 3, so hopefuly it willl get some nerfin as well.
This is a complete non-argument. The fact that there's a trio of best weapons doesn't prove the idea that you need to master all skillsets wrong. In Q3/Live you need perfect timing, perfect positioning, planning ahead 2-3 minutes at a time, good item rotation, area denial, perfect weapon choices, and on and on. You still need this in QC but it's become less and less relevant, you can brute force your way through with good aim as we have already seen this QCon. The reason why LG got nerfed in QL was because the initial damage value was intended for high ping games over the internets. Once we had the hardware to hit better it was rightfully nerfed, not that it was ever the sole decider in games ever.

>No other game series features Quake movement like strafe or circlejump, quake maps or quake weapons, that's always been what makes quake interesting, if a bit of metagame really ruins all of that for you, thats your own biased point of view and i can pretty much assure you, you are the minority and there is nothing stopping you from playing the classic games instead, those are perfectly playable, and i know this as someone who still plays Live regularly and 3 once in a while.
Movement is actually not bad in this game, apart from caps. Maps are total trash, they look like they've been designed for Unreal Tournament. Even classic ones have been made so open, strange layout decisions.

A great foundation, which allowed great mods to exist. No bad game becomes good because modding, Unreal Tournament, Doom, Half-life and quake, all had great modding communities because those were all solid base games.

LG had much shorter range in Quake 3 than in Quakelive and q3tourney4 that doesnt have lg was one of the most popular maps. If I remember correctly lg was added to q3dm6 because of pros crying for it.

Fair enough, but there is a difference from being less relevant to just claiming it's some OW clone like some people think it is, and even if it's less relevant it's still miles ahead of what most modern shooters require you to do and the things you named all take years of practice to master, even in QC.

>Maps are total trash, they look like they've been designed for Unreal Tournament. Even classic ones have been made so open, strange layout decisions.
Not getting into detail into this, maps really are something i've always find people to have different opinions and what makes it trash or good, but all i can say is that i find them actually enjoyable since them try to follow the basics of arena shooters and feature enough vertical gameplay, but still i hope we see more classic maps in the future.

Tell me what the PC FPS community was like before Quake 4 and UT3?

I love FPS but I didn't build a PC until around 2011 and missed the glory days, every FPS out now has discernable cracks that prevent them from being great games and are instead just good at best. Titanfall 2 with its reduced TTK of the first and overpowered SMGs, Siege with its awful connection problems, Overwatch is self explanatory, etc.

Well I don't blame them, there's no money to be made in UT4. It's the same with Quake. Investing in these games is a big risk because they no longer have appeal to the general market. Bethesda is probably going to end up being pissed at investing this much in QC only to get this tiny playerbase/twitch viewership.

the current generation of 12 year olds cannot handle arena shooters

PUBG is shilled literally everywhere.
Q:C has basically no marketing yet.
But it's just out of closed beta anyway.
And the netcode is totally shit.
>>
>>388424094
People want arena shooter that are alive. It's pretty boring when there's only 3 ffa server on quake live with players and they are always the same players. It's unlikely that people are suddenly finding the older arena shooters like warsow so we need "new arena shooter" to have change at having game with decent playerbase.

What is it what? It's just like any other game, only what matters is synched with the server, like actual damage.
There's no lag when you fire, it's all your misinfo.

The issue is with rockets when they sometimes (maybe 1~5% of the time) don't register even if you see them clearly hit the target.

i never played the older quakes, but did the have champions in them? it doesnt feel right in qc for there to be so many vapid characters.

Its not competitive when you have spells and shiez.
Made me lose interest as soon as I heard that. I never was too much of a quake fan, but I've played it back in the popular days. Would have liked to try it again if it wasnt another boring clusterfuck shooter.

It requires more time than Johnny Casual actually has
>"I only have time for one level before I have to get ready for bed to get enough sleep for work"
This kind of player dominates the industry so publishers are inclined to give them a short-lived, pretty power fantasy that they don't actually have to work for anymore. If players expressed a desire to play games that require them to git gud, publishers would comply. It's why Unreal Tournament 2004 was a best seller back in 2004 and why Unreal has been a dead franchise since

Does it have skill based matchmaking?

If it does I'm not buying it, I want to join and leave games as I wish and if I'm good I want to mop the floor with everyone occasionally fighting an equally skilled opponent.

Nothing in gaming is worse than the matchmaking trend.

it has matchmaking, but it doesn't penalize you for leaving (far as I know anyway), I've gotten matched up with way better and way worse players than my own skill level so it either doesn't work that well or it's intended

most skilled players are going to make smurf accounts anyway

I actually really like the tone and feel of the game. It has a bit more of that lovecraftian feel of Q1 mixed with Q2/3/4's scifi stuff. I would probably buy the early access jewery just to get it on Steam if the server condition wasn't so fucking rubbish.

Toxicc?
A giant lie with the game pretending to be faithful to the original arena shooters. The devs also harassed people who tired to contribute to it with legitimate critisism.

Reflex?
Microtransactions nobody wants.
Shitloads of broken promises.
More Overwatch than Arena Shooter.

UT4Alpha?
It's a fucking alpha.

Warsow?
Might as well name Nexuis.

Quake Live?
What about we take Quake 3 - Close it off instead of keeping it open for the community to contribute and also add loadouts because 'everyone does it'

Xonotic?
Again: Nexuis.


THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE ARENA STYLE SHOOTER IN THE LAST 7 YEARS THAT DIDN'T HAVE BULLSHIT IN IT OR ON ITS PACKAGE:

Not really.

> THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE ARENA STYLE SHOOTER IN THE LAST 7 YEARS THAT DIDN'T HAVE BULLSHIT IN IT OR ON ITS PACKAGE:

Most of the ones you mention didn't really. At least nothing major. Reflex, Warsow, Quake Live all had pretty much everything you could ask an Arena FPS to have

And yeah, whether you like it or not there hasn't been a demand for this sort of games.

Barely functional, microtransaction ridden survival/battle royale/zombie games consistently top the steamcharts regardless of major flaws. Why? Because there is a major demand for these games.The playerbase just shifts to the best, least broken one available.

Arena shooters have never had that sort of crowd.

It's just not that good. Even in arena shooter niche it's outclassed by its own clones. It's another clone of the clone. Quake 3 is old and busted and it's not really that good by today standards. No "muh casuals" scapegoat here, it's just not that good.

wrong
>>
>>388431217
Because it is somewhat dumbed down, but skill still shines through.

Still, the last duel tournament clearly rewards players with good aim and mechanics more than more strategical players.

Matches are short, stacks are low and hitboxes are tiny. Not actually bad IMO, QL 1v1 could be a drag sometimes because of how much engagements were avoided

And no. The retard who plays Overwatch or PUBG is not one of those.

And /v/ isn't some giant cave where literally all arena-shooter-fans ended up.

Reflex, Quake Live and all those other games are dead because they simply weren't good and up to anyones standards.

Citation needed. Only public count is steam charts, and it's at a solid 2k. There's no reason to assume that Bethesda launcher has 18k people.

Except they give you an active, a passive, and more importantly affect your starting/max health, armour and speed.

No, you can't just treat it like that. The champions with lower starting HP get insane ultimates and also movement abilities to make up for their lack of stack. Aside from three champions (Nyx, Anarki, Sorlag) the game is actually decently balanced. The problem is with the rest of it, is its dumb as fuck.

Why weren't they good enough? I think they are both pretty damn good. And with are this people with high standards playing?

Yeah you can. Starcraft II does it, DOTA2 does it. You can't have a successful esport without a casual playerbase

Yeah, that was a long time a ago. Quake and arena shooters in general are pretty niche now.

Which is a big problem here because OG Arena Shooters are not casual in any way.
There is no amazing customization for your special snowflake needs - No Loadout bullshit for further customization - And the games also don't shower your with gambling crate gacha garbage so 13 year old gambling addicts won't like them either.

If you casualize Arena Shooters the hardcore base will leave.
And if you think you can make up for that by getting a larger number of casuals -> Those rather play Overwatch than your halfassed Arena garbage excuse of a game.

Meanwhile we got a game that is impossible to be e-sports relevant because of the nature of spectating it and isn't very fun to play because the characters - who were just supposed to be models - are locked down in a tiny locked down selection of maps that are lazily designed for all modes of play.

>>
>>388433423
Well, if instead of being so rigid you think a bit you can come up with something that can be enjoyed by casuals but also has competitive appeal

> Never could be more wrong
Starcraft II and DOTA have both a casual playerbase and a pro-scene that is not doing terribly. This is fact.

> >Starcraft is clearly riding on the e-sports hype but nobody wants to play it because it's pretty much just QoL and autism, everyone who plays for fun prefers Broodwar etc.

You are getting it wrong. SCII is the "fun/casual" game. SC was the game you are describing back in the 90s but now its the hardest thing to sink your teeth into and is a lot more mechanically demanding than SCII. Maybe the Remastered release has brought some casuals back but they won't stay forever.

>Dota 2 is the most loathed game by anyone who has played it for any significant amount of time both for community and community facing features i.e. the fucking matchmaker service heavily dominating the game and being the only used feature while being pretty terrible.

Well whatever, the numbers it pulls on Steam and the numbers it pulls on Twitch when some tournament is going on speak for themselves

Sacrifice is a fucking mess yeah. I dunno if a good map selection could fix it. But yeah, the game is in very early stages so hopefully they'll understand this shit is unwatchable.

On the other hand Duel is ok. Its not as strategical or deep as its previous incarnations, but I think that actually makes it more watchable for the average joe

I'm not great, but I'm not exactly shit either, but I've nearly had several bouts of rage after getting into many tussles with many Sorlags, but somehow not landing a single fucking hit on them while they dance circles around me shitting on me.

Something about the armor is just weird. It's got those circle-things on the torso/belt that make me think of old Asian armor or something.

Clutch is ESPECIALLY dominant in Duel, due to an ability that is pretty much invulnerability on demand that can be cancelled into a LG stream

He could be nerfed anytime, like Blazkowicz was, but right now he's still great. I don't think he's super broken, but there's no denying he's top tier

It's not just the extra cooldown. They removed his damage reduction while stationary, and dropped HP/Armor vars. There is a reason why nobody played him, because despite their familiarity with the champion (everyone played him before that), he became too weak.

Yeah! It's always the players' faults, not the fact that devs make games that are trash tier clones of decade old formulas. I've been playing Unreal since I was knee height to my dad.

The first game was planned and even marketed as an RPG, only to get a shit development, that cut id in half.
Second game wasn't even meant to be a Quake game.

QC also has shit netcode and the crossovers/fanservice are a sign of desperation.
One thing is an experimental IP, another is Quake as a series having an identity crisis.
