Also, I redeemed my code, but it's not available in my Bethesda Launcher yet. I guess you can't pre(down)load it?

you need to press on "all games" at the right bottom and then press on Quake Champions.

This launcher is the most beta of beta launchers, absolute horse shit.

Overwatch had several 'betas' that went off without a hitch. It's not too much to expect from a AAA developer with gobs of money, especially when this isn't even a beta anyway, it's a fucking PR demo

>>173234512
Yeah, goddamn those fuckers, can't they just wait a little bit? Oh, and by the way, while you're in line, how about this new Fallout™ franchise installment? It got great reviews by different critics!!!

to be fair, they aren't going to show anyone footage of the game from common users. It is to get some people to care more, but at the same time it's legitimately meant to find find problems like these

so that if they fuck up, no one will see it. Try it out on a small amount of users where no else can see so that they can find errors

I checked on reddit[/spoire] and some people had luck by closing the game and going through the queue again

It's weird that you have to login to a bethesda launcher with your bethesda account, but then the game makes you login a second time. I'm logged in on my launcher, why does it make me login again?

Amen to that.
There's a nice feeling associated with landing that perfect rocket on some poor soul and turning them into chunks - more so when it's a midair one. I still play TF2 a bit, and getting a kill feels a lot more satisfying than in other games, that much I can say.

wow that sure was a good use of time

I tried earlier and the game almost fried my GPU, but CPU wise it was fine (around 40%).

I forced Vsync through Nvidia settings, and when I launch it, my GPU is fine, but my CPU is now at 100%.

I don't get it.

>>173248973
Yeah, you get a bunch of those points, so it's no big deal really. I also got what seems to be a permanent champion unlock on my first chest.

>>173237313
Had the exact same thing happen to me. Woke up, told me there was a problem connecting to the server, OOPS HERE'S ANOTHER 8GB FUCKER AND YOU HAVE TO START FROM ZERO BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT INCREMENTAL PATCHING/DOWNLOADING IS. My connection is poverty-tier so maybe it'll be done by the time the fucking TEST IS OVER.

Is this game going to have some form of skill matchmaking? I don't feel like playing with 9 other fatalities on day 1.

So when are they adding more waifus? Slash is ruined and Nyx is shit, I want Crash or Hunter or Mynx.

help. i seem to have shit load times everywhere

I've sat through four 1500+ queues just to get a client error each time. Cool.

>>173249995
One of the devs told me they're using glicko for the matchmaking that is happening in the beta.

>>173250413
Never heard of glicko but I'll look it up. I know I suck but my first 2 matches have been absolute blow ups.

Anyone here play reflex/cpma?

>still no Diabotical
>settling for Quake with abilities

I'll take it, but I don't like it

what is the general consensus so far?

I can't see them shipping this game with an upfront cost, seems to be very heavily weighted in the f2p category (rent with player earned currency, pay real money for infinite unlock)

I was a bit saddened to see you cant unlock champs with 'free' currency - only paid currency.

I don't need to mention the login issues, that was a given.

The game felt different, but also the same. Need to play some more to get used to the movement.

Some models are obvious placeholders - I REALLY hope that announcer is placeholder because its atrocious.

Overall I'm pleasantly surprised by the game, I thought they might go FULL MOBA but they haven't, at least, not yet.

>>173250783
so 'free' currency is only for skins and such or?

>>173251139
The currency you generate from playing the game will allow you to "rent"a champion for 1 day, and you can buy the lowest tier 'loot box'.

From what I can tell right now there is no way to buy a champion with earned-currency.

Am I the only one who really needs auto switch weapons enabled? It's almost like they learned nothing from Quake Live's pages of pages of quality of life features.

>>173251387
I was missing it as well,

Are you playing on a SSD? My loadtimes are averaging 5-10 seconds with the game running off my solid state.

I spend so much time waiting for other people to load though that it really defeats the purpose.

>>173256757
They're easily some of the worst load times I've experienced since getting an SSD.

Who the fuck programmed this shit? Why does it take 8 hours to load a map?

COOL GAME BETHSEDA

I better still get what was in there

>>173250783
there's a lot more variables so just owning with pure dm skill is less possible

hitboxes and speed vary from class and it isnt clear which is best to play in the hour i've done so far. what seems clear though is there's no strategy among using the classes in dm/tdm (the only modes you can play). its not like overwatch where there's objectives that force teams to conform to roles that make things optimal. u just pick the guy that owns the hardest. ranger or visor seem like that right now. this wouldnt be the case for something like ctf

basically as is it feels like going in quakelive and mindlessly playing dm. which is fine, but its not gonna be the latest and greatest esport or something

i also assume theyll launch a 1v1 mode that involves ranger only with no spells. in which case youd have a pretty fun slightly dumbed down version of quakelive which would be cool i guess

I saw rapha at a grocery store in Chicago yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

literally none, you can't even change your crosshair. hope they put some stuff like that in. i think customization is pretty important.

So is anyone else having issues where the lightning gun doesn't really work all that well? It seems to be a latency issue with the server. It just sort of sputters at worst and often doesn't hit while you have the beam on them.

This game is garbage at best.

Can't they just remake Q3A with better graphics?

Is it possible to add friends and party up?

How?

>>173292352
Is Clan Arena even in Quake Champions?

>>173292371
that seems shit, limbo time should be more like 1-5 in dm modes, 3-5 in ctf (because you have to break a base in that and having a million fresh spawns throwing rocks at you is infuriating)

also do you get any control over spawn points like in ut4? one of the very few things that game got right imo

>>173292960

You are still a faggot.

>>173293013
no lmao. just press space, it doesn't even autospawn you in ffa so sometimes i was forgetting to hit the button and ended up sitting there watching others only to spawn and get raped in 2 seconds anyway.

>>173293164
yeah it's marketed for poor people

>>173293030
That doesn't answer my question, retard.

>>173292960
Just DM and TDM
Also you can only do matchmaking in groups of two

>>173292681
I don't see how it's feasible to coordinate everyone being through the queue at one time.

>>173293115
Same shit happened to me. Not to mention the shader or whatever bugging out during loading and having the flame get drawn in a massive triangle from the the top left of the screen. Haven't seen bugs like that in ages.

>>173293164
f2p "yes." free to play but probably not worth playing the game unless you buy some type of starter pack for $10-30.

>>173291684

>>173293661
quake live exists and wowzers, it isn't very popular either

>>173293414
Well I just don't see how abilities would work in CA, stuff like auto-heal etc

>>173293818
No character has auto heal

>>173293871
Anarki

>>173293898
You don't know what auto-heal means

>>173293898
You're retarded.

>>173293818
>>173293898
Anarki heals to full health and increases his base HP for the remainder of the game. You can get pretty easily sniped though.

>>173293871
>>173293973
and "press F to heal" would work in CA how exactly?

>announcer voice volume slider is the same as character voice
Jesus fuck let me mute these fucks while still being able to hear the announcer

>>173294105
The fact that he has a base health of 65. His ability has one of the longest cooldowns in the game, and it only increases his base health by like 5 or something. Its marginal.

>>173293661
Amen.

wait what. thats literally gamebreaking

if you get a lead in duul/tdm can you just decide not to ever spawn again?

>>173294758
They didn't think that shit through.

>>173294538
Being able to delay your spawn is super important for not getting chain fragged in CPMA at least.

A very short delay before you can manually respawn and automatic respawning after like 5 seconds is obvious correct way to do it.

How is the waiting list?

You mean the queue? It seems to be getting smaller every time I try to get in so either they're adding more servers or less people are trying to join, or both.

>>173291684
why is the rail doing 100?

>>173295526
Unnerfed and back to its original Q3A stats

>>173295526
It does 100 when you zoom with it. It's pretty silly.

>>173295518
Pretty sure most people who tried to play today don't have intentions to play it more than once or twice after the horror of sitting in loading screens and queues for one 10 minute game at a time.

Hey guys, I've never really been a huge quake player, although I've always loved and really appreciated the game. I've got a few questions for some of the people that have tried out champions.

1. If I start playing at launch, will I still be steamrolled just like if I go and try to play quake live?

2. I know that you can play as the base character for free, but do you guys think that's viable? To me it kind of sounds like it's more of a demo and you really would need to buy all the champions to compete fairly.

>>173295637
what the hell
how does zooming in magically increase damage
thats retarded

>>173296417
because zooming is harder

>>173296354
This beta is rampant with Q3 players. Not only that, but there is no classic duel mode in the beta to throw them into containment. We won't really know until launch but right now yes you will get your ass kicked.

>>173296417
It increases HMG's damage too. From 9 per bullet to 12

HMG does 160 damage when zoomed, versus the 140 of LG

>>173296354
1) no, maybe in some games but there should be balanced matchmaking
2) just buy the game if you're interested in it

>>173296354
yes and maybe

ive been getting in game currency surprisingly quickly and have enough to rent some other characters

>>173296354
I already got 3 permanent champions for free just from random loot box drops

>>173296561
lmao and the lg already looked bad in this game

they need to like double the knockback so it's viable

>>173296535
>>173296570
>>173296597
thanks for the info guys!
I'll probably end up buying it a few months after it releases, granted I like it.
Is there any chance of a classic mode where everyone plays as the same champion?

>>173296672
that's nice to know. I wasn't aware you could unlock champions permanently.

Its gonna be Free2Play. And if its not, it will be within weeks.

>>173297429
I'm aware it's free to play, but the way the business model is setup I don't think it's viable to play forever as just the base character.

>>173291684

So i figured out how to do well with the fat robot with oversized hitboxes. you play extremely passive and with teammates, and use your shield to win peeking fights.
You know how when you're trying to shoot someone who's around a corner? Well just get a rocket launcher or rail and pop them once. Retreat behind cover again and your shield will go up.
After that, peek again with your invincibility and pop off another shot. rinse repeat.

downloading scripts online

Played 2 matches and already thinking of uninstalling this piece of shit. If it's not playing better or requires less queue time by tomorrow night then it and the Bethesda launcher are outta here.

how's the performance?

i never played quake

i don't understand the armor pickups in this game

they all look identical to me but seems like one gives more and has a longer respawn, why are they both green? that is really dumb. isn't one of them supposed to be red or something?

also seems like some pickups overcharge you and some just cap you and can't really figure out any rhyme or reason to it

i also dont understand that tank pickup, i swear sometimes it has overcharged both my health and armor, sometimes it doesn't overcharge, and sometimes it does only health even if i'm not at the armor cap, is it different on each map or bugged or what?

also triggers the FUCK out of me that you cant pick up the armor bits that explode out of someone until they stop falling/ragdolling and sit static on the ground

>>173302549
New to Quake? Getting raped?

>>173302376

>>173302614
>New to Quake?
no
>Getting raped?
no

It takes 15-20 minutes to even get into a match and the matches I've been in have had constant, intermittent stutters/lags which have left me immobile and soon fragged. I changed the settings to all low to see if a difference was made for the next time I waste trying to play another hectic FFA. The art style sucks, the environment art sucks, the sound sucks. I can hardly tell when I pick up a weapon unless I key to it and the enemies are hard to see save the bright arrow over the head.

>>173305187
~200MB for the launcher and then downloading something like 8-10 gigs for the game which ends up taking around 12 gigs. I've had the launcher use up to 200MB of ram and the game use 6 gigs of ram in the queue/loading/menu screen. Minimum 4 gigs of ram is out of the question.

It's not a bad game, but it's just worse on every front.

If they'd heavily casualised it or something, I could understand. But this is something that only really appeals to the pro crowd, who are far less likely to switch.

I'm guessing they're going to put a ton of money into E-sports for the first year, but that's got to fizzle out eventually.

The idea that this game would have enough longevity for a ranking system to work is hilarious.

At absolute best, every game is going to be smurfs raping kids until they ragequit. There aren't enough F2P kiddies to replace the ones who quit, so over time the population will drop like a cliff, until it's just smurfs fighting smurfs.

Around what sensitivity do most people use in Quake? I'm on 0.5, and it feels good, but have no idea what sensitivity level is recommended. Is it like CS where people have low sensitivity?

>>173334256
sensitivity means nothing without your fov and dpi

>>173334423
1150 DPI, FoV at max.

how is the grenade launcher

People are all over the place, but the best LGers use around the equivalent of 4 sens at 400 CPI, which is ~26 cm/360 and no accel.

No, you can get permanent ones from loot boxes

You also get 500 platinum at level 5 and level 10 (not sure if at level 15) and a champion can be bought permanently with 450 platinum

I've got almost all champions unlocked permanently from playing yesterday and today, doubt it will be this generous in the live game though
