>>174722582

>>174722130
I assume snorlags "bunnyhop" means just repeately jumping, which is kinda redundant.
It was mentioned that visor's bhop speed isn't capped, but I don't remember hitting a noticeable speed cap as ranger. Is there any way to test it in a private lobby?

>>174722413
For those of you who don't have a beta key and want to know what the game is like:

Sorlag, Clutch, and Scalebearer are just there to get killed/be that annoying faggot who kills you outta nowhere.

Ranger and Visor actually take skillz to win

Nyx, Slash, Anarki, and Galeena are what I'd like to call insta-winners as in if you see 3 of these characters in your lobby, they will be in the top 3

Nyx is the least cancerous of the 4, though her invisibility can get the slip on you. Visor can easily counter this shit.

Anarki's health regen is annoying as shit and should be lowered or non existent

Slash's red queefs of death are a get out of "jail free" card in any close range situation. Not to mention her crouch slide makes her fucking impossible to hit at times

Galeena has absolute dogshit hitreg and can heal.

Either id gets its head out of its ass and fixes this shit ASAP, or the only reason people will play this is for classic mode

Ranger > Visor because

1. Instant speed > speed after 3 jumps

2. Teleport > Wallhack

>>174725595
>game is perfect the way it is now.
bait?

>>174726170
visor is faster if you know what you are doing and wallhack is beyond strong.
there is no place in the game that you cant reach with regular strafe/circle/rocketjump/nailclimb.

>>174725625
they didn't

>>174726170
preferences.
the tier list is just a general opinion

Ranger appeals to people that arent that familiar with strafe jumping/circle jumping and has good mobility.
Visor appeals to the VQ3 vets who can get insane stuff done with only strafing, Anarki is the CPM champ, Nyx is Warsow, Slash is Q4.

>>174726019
streaks of high accuracy, medal explosions, multi-kills, can all be factors.

Games like this aren't just about winning, it's about looking cool while you win. Play of the Game feature does just that. That's why it would be such a good thing.

Ranger is going to be the TF2/Tribes Soldier of QC
Versatile starter class easy to pick up and play with incredible mobility and great fragging potential in the hands of a skilled player
People will bitch about him being OP and having no counters
Just wait

>>174726637
>Nyx is Warsow,
but can you really do a 180 turn off a wall? It was kinda obnoxious in warsow that players could never stop, even at dead ends.

>>174723251
Clutch's ability is only good if you have SSG/Rocket/Rail. His damage reduction passive is a trap.
Big characters are just not that good because along with having bigger hitboxes they're generally slower.

not gonna lie I wish they would use base nyx movement for every character.

I tried nyx for several hours but she just cant compete against something like visor.
she has like 75/25, visor has 125/25.

how the fuck are you supposed to outaim 50hp difference.
nyx/anarki also get 1shotted by rails/rocketrs.


I also fear we wont get forceplayermodel 1, there would be ne reason to implement something like that into the game now that we have character mtx/colors and stuff. its really difficult to see certain colors/champions against certain backgrounds.

>>174726907
>Tribes Soldier
What? Is that some Tribes Ascend bullshit cause T1 and T2 had freeform classes.

>>174726486
>visor is faster if you know what you are doing

Only if we were talking about CTF or defrag. In the situations where it matters most, combat, Ranger is faster than Visor and therefore you are more likely to shake your opponent's crosshair or projectile predictions. Visor is only fast inbetween fights, Ranger is fast during fights.

>rocketjump/nailclimb

Barely a thing with the current netcode. Ranger's orb teleportation has a 100% success rate as long as you teleport before the thing hits a wall. Rocket jumping is already kinda worthless in most modes in QL (except CA). It only really pays off if you're in control in a duel. The server side fuckery in QC makes it unusable imo. I might change my opinion once I play more, I've only played a couple hours yesterday.

>>174727027
There won't be forcemodel but I guarantee you there will be a highlighting post process like Overwatch has (or like you get as Visor during wallhack).

>>174727000
checked
agreed, movement is a defensive and offensive stat. having good movement is key in quake. that being said, I do like how they make everyone feel different in those terms on how to play and how to move. heavies need some balancing.

>>174726907
Agreed. People seriously overestimate the lighter champs because netcode is still shit making them harder to hit than they should be, and veterans tend to want to go fast so there is a sort of "skill bias" towards lighter champions. Ranger will pass the test of time.

>>174727274
the shit visor has during his wallhack is actually quite annoying, I find it very difficult to differentiate between walls you can walk through and walls you cant because everything gets that retarded blue filter once his wallhack activates.

>>174727404
>walls you can walk through

?

I agree that the filter is irritating but it irritates me more during combat. With no color information left I've got only the stupid triangle to tell me who's an enemy.

>>174725437
Why is there still no lewd Sorlag art? What the fuck are those degenerates over at /trash/ even doing?

>>174727047
It's freeform in TA now too. Before that soldier wasn't too much of use besides tryhard ar/hitscan pistol or lmao2spinfusors.

>>174727898

>>174728445
Scout is far from easy to pick up due to how fragile he is. You have to get in close for the Scattergun to do real damage (otherwise it's just a shittier Shotgun) but that's also the range where most classes will shred your 125hp health pool with a sneeze. Newbs also have trouble aiming while moving, relying on strafing to line up their crosshairs instead of twitch-aiming while moving in other directions.

Experiment more with rocket jumping. I get stable connection every game, and I don't see any server-side fuckery. People aren't, eh, looking up and don't expect sudden rockets from above.

Slipgate is amazing though. Stopwatch the Quad with a prepared slipgate escape.

Also I thought people were bitching about no rocket smoke trails. There are totally rocket smoke trails. Was it added recently?

This was exactly why I didnt donate to the kickstarter.

I was also very disappointed because I heard an interview with 2GD saying that it would have a unique movement system that would persist into combat and the the gameplay comes and its essentially just quake but a little different

but most of all I hope the game voice overs arent like the trailer

Any one ever play pic related? probably not but i did. to go fast you chained wall jumps and switching weapons would turn you into different monsters, like the shotgun ape.

>>174732076
oh yea and its gimmick was that only 1 of each weapon could be in play between both characters and each weapon had a health bar. so the goal was to kill all your opponents weapons and then that lets you take it and gain that weapon and health bar for yourself. It was pretty cool for the 5 games i managed to play in it

>Experiment more with rocket jumping. I get stable connection every game, and I don't see any server-side fuckery.

Every match I've played all players have had pings under 50 according to the scoreboard, yet everyone was lagging around like crazy. When people went up jumppads you could see them teleport into the air in front of you, one frame there would be nothing, the next the player would be up in the air in front of you. That's what I mean when I refer to netcode being terrible.

And rockets are delayed. Put 1 and 1 together, I assume rockets are server side, hence the delay. The ingame pings clearly mean nothing. Not with the current netcode any way.

>>174733638
If it's always said it means nothing.

>>174734615
this.

I had ping 15-20 most of the time and rocket jumps were next to impossible.
Played defrag for 4years so Iam not new to rocketjumps and they DONT work properly atm.

>>174733638
this is stupid. if youre always going to say it then just save everyones time and say nothing. its fucking retarded that people even get mad at me for not saying gg after each round like fuck off dude its literally meaningless

>>174736648
In reality they are probably working on tons and tons of things, but pushing new closed beta builds to distribution isn't worth the time. They get feedback and data from all the games played -> Make thousands of small changes -> do quick internal tests to see these changes, and build up for the next beta cycle.

>>174735586
>no rocket delay

I seriously doubt that. This is the first time I hear someone not complaining about rocket delay. What other Quake game have you played the most? Is there maybe rocket delay in that game, too?

>>174737685
arena shooters arent hardcore per se its just that they have a much higher skill ceiling than other genres.

>>174737685
this is not a pure arena shooter
go play reflex and you'll get obliterated

>>174737685

arena shooters are only as hard as the other people you're playing against
this applies to >>174737946 as well

my only complaint about roeckets is the absurdly low damage they deal on anything that's not a direct
i can drop one right next to a dude's feet and literally do TWO points of damage

>>174737851
I'm not making this up. There is no rocket delay. I'm in Iowa on the Iowa servers on the meanest, biggest, meatiest internet connection you can get on a $3000 rig. Rockets are clearly server side and feel accurate and responsive as all hell to me because of it. I have no doubt that they have netcode issues that they need to fix that is fucking up people with less than perfect connections that are causing rocket delay and all sorts of issues for other people. Just not here.

What is the difference between Sorlag's "bunnyhop" and Visor's "strafe jump"?

Are they just the same passives with different names?

>>174740094
how about bazinga quake

>>174740334
Visor just has no speedcap.
Sorlag need to jump straight forward, no strafe to make it actually work and he still has a speedcap.

I often think people underestimate the current speedcaps.
You can gain up to 450+ ups with one circle jump and up to 550+ with just 2 jumps.
A lot of chars are already capped at those numbers, kinda aids.

>>174740868
Is there a command for speed charts? Or any way to know when you're at the threshold for Scalebearer's passive?

>>174741289
there are commands?

>>174741289
there is not but you should be able to tell by feel.
its very noticable when you stop gaining speed.

very easy to tell with anaraki for example, the fuckers speedcapped him hard.

what's the fastest way to grind xp in QC, dm or tdm?

>>174741476
probably just playing the game
don't bother grinding in a beta baka

>>174741476
Whichever you're better at. DM can probably net more exp regardless because there's more enemies to frag at a time, but TDM's can be landslides and get you streaks.

No doubt. At least QC isn't actively sabotaging you by forcing you to play with shitters. Still, I cannot for the life of me understand how they didn't see the need for matchmaking in a game like fucking Quake when there are dudes in their 40s playing since they were 20

holy fuck where are my quests
i cant get 30k favor from just matches

>>174747623
yes you can, the trick is to actually play.
30k is like 50matches.

Railgun has a different firing sound, that recharge sound, and that humming sound. It's basically the Q3 RG's audio with the Quake Wars model.

>>174746656
Ranger is the same design just in modern graphics. Only difference is the lack of his perma-scowl.

do you think theyll add a grapple mod character

>>174746298
since you're shit I don't really want to go through the effort of telling you how stupid you are, but here goes

>Lag-fags
Netcode is not an easy business. Netcode work is most certainly #1 priority of these closed beta tests.
>Pro l33t nerds who ruin the game
If you have an issue with skill being the most deciding factor, then I recommend to you Hearthstone. They clearly went with server and netcode priority in their closed beta over establishing matchmaking this early.
>Rocket Launcher is shit
Rocket Launcher depends on netcode and latency issues. Rocket Launcher is incredible in a smooth game.
>More damage while zoomed
I don't see this as an issue. Quite a subjective complaint.
>Blood Covenant is good
Blood Covenant is easily the worst map, then Ruins of Sarnarth. Burial Chamber is fantastic in comparison.
>Abilities are cancer
The core design of the game is to include abilities. If you don't like it, play QL. Abilities with different characters is going to make more complex TDM, CP, CTF etc. game modes with team based work. This is what the majority of gamers out there actually want. Worst case scenario- everyone plays the same OP character in DM.
>Nobody is playing this game
This is a closed beta, what is wrong with you?
>Not on steam, uses Bethesda's shitty platform
Bethesda Softworks is a game publisher and is essentially funding id Software's ability to make this game. They make these decisions based on $. In this case, Steam takes money from Bethesda Softworks for having their game on Steam- therefore it is in Bethesda Softwork's best interest to not provide the game through Steam, as they are a big enough publisher to have multiple games using their platform. This is real life, game developers have to eat, pay off student loans, and pay for dental insurance for their kids, and the costs simply do not outweight the benefits for putting it on steam.

Ranger had non-scowling faces in Q1, namely when equipped with Quad Damage or the Pentagram and a couple of the hurt faces. The permascowl comes from how unlike Doomguy's face which constantly looks around with a determined/neutral expression, Ranger has one default face and that is pissed off.

This is made by id. The same guys behind all the other major online shooters. Why is this still an issue in 2017? This should've been a rarity, but is instead a common occurance

>If you have an issue with skill being the most deciding factor, then I recommend to you Hearthstone. They clearly went with server and netcode priority in their closed beta over establishing matchmaking this early.
Becuase nothing screams a fun time like getting your shit pushed in every game. I've been placing in the top 3 almost every game. However, the fact you expect me to be able to stand toe to toe with someone who has been playing this for 20 years... See you here in 2 years when the game is dead

>Rocket Launcher depends on netcode and latency issues. Rocket Launcher is incredible in a smooth game.
Shame it's dogshit here

>Blood Covenant is easily the worst map, then Ruins of Sarnarth.
Oh, so we can see that there are 2 shit maps now.

Anyone who says to go play QL has no argument. I have nothing wrong with abilities. What I do have a problem with is when they override skill in terms of who gets a kill. Fucking wallhacks on Visor are nothing compared to Anarki's healing.


>This is a closed beta, what is wrong with you?
Yeah, more invites have been sent yet I'm still seeing the same 5 fuckers every other game.

Just admit you have no argument as to why it shouldn't be on a superior platform like Steam.

What ability would hunter have?

i dont know a lot about betas but games can be wildly different from closed and open beta

just look at paladins
it underwent major changes from closed to open beta
it basically became overwatch because hirez is retarded and would rather go after people who are too poor for overwatch than go for a game with a unique identity

>>174736392

>>174748131
that would be fine if it took 10 seconds to join a match, not 5 minutes with all of the retarded loading screens

>>174750306
Not sure about sound but it showed up in a recent gameplay video and the viewmodel is centered and shoots down the middle.

>>174763215
IS

Classic arena FPS are about as challenging as Monkey Island, it's literally just point and click. What a bore, that's why they died. Modern arena shooters such as Overwatch have classes and make you press more buttons then mouse1 and WASD. They are infinitely more complex and entertaining.

>>174763350
i dont believe this
the preview footage has a delay on rockets as well

You know, it's just people who originally played arena shooters, well, they grew up. They either don't have time to play because of their families and job, or tired of playing something active and now sit before tv, playing consoles and farting in coach until they suffocate . Some just tired of arenas and sit in r6 and ow. And some are still here to play quake. But it's only a small fraction left.

i was wondering why i felt like i was incredibly bad with rockets for no reason.

is my q3a broken or something? the lg lags behind for some reason. also how do i beat hunter

/arena/, explain one thing to me
why everyone is afraid to get their shit pushed in? I started playing QL like 2-3 years ago, with not much experience in Q3/CPMA(I played some defrag back in the day tho, so I was familiar with the movement). I fucking hate team modes, so I played nothing but duel most of the time. I don't know, I lost maybe 30 or 50 duels before I got my first win, but it was great experience, I had a lot of fun because I actually saw my improvement. I went from 900 glicko to 1700 in a couple of months, not too much but at least I can stand my ground now.
So why all these new people are so afraid of losing and learning? Quake is a fun game, after all, just don't play CA if you new.

I like QC but my fucking god starting a round takes 3 bazzilion years.

will this game have a server browser? this shit will be DOA if I have to queue for 3 minutes for every fucking match

>>174768540
i doubt it
besides if it does your guaranteed to only see anarkis because his ability is going to be broken if a game goes beyond 10 minutes

>>174768540
matchmaking is all you need, unless you just want to stomp some noobs and ruin their enjoyment of the game

>ql keeps crashing after playing qc
so this was the plan all along

who do you most want to sit on your face: nyx, slash, hunter, sorlag, orbb

>hackers in QC already rampant
i sure love me some f2p

for comparison this is a server in quake live with over 300 ping for me

I think if they market it enough it will be popular with newer players.

Are you buying backpacks at every chance in hopes of getting armor?

Anyone got a webm of the fucking quake 2 rg in qc?
Goddamn shards are hard to farm when you always get fucking colors for skins and nothing else.

Thanks m8, looks better than the default but nothing special.

>>174769646
I'm buying them in groups of 5 but after I got a reliquary chest it went from 190 to 195 and I've been buying them buy the 1's...

>>174769813
i was gonna buy the lg but now im sold to this
tfw only 15 crystals away from this
hhhhhhhhhhhh

>not buying by the largest pile for maximum profit

Custom servers are likely to be where they lock the "Classic" mode away to die.

Devs don't issue DMCA takedowns and nobody had to actually be in those threads for the one very specific image you're talking about to be content ID'd. Remember how a slightly modified version of it was still going around with no issue? That wouldn't happen if Beth lawyers were actually lurking threads or whatever the fuck you think was happening.

Is it too much to ask to have the satisfying animation when firing that Q2 had?

Are backpacks actually a good way to get that shit? Seems like you're always getting portraits, armor shaders and other junk you can't scrap out of them.

>>174770558
if you get a duplicate of any of that it autoscraps

Love to know if anyone's gotten a permanent champion from a backpack yet :*)

>>174770836
what are you, some kind of grown up?

if they add bitterman they should give him quake 2 physics and the grappling hook

>tfw watching videos of long dead mods

its both relaxing and depressing
looks much better than valve's attempts at fortress games as well

>>174772937
also they got the scale of 2fort right unlike tfc and tf2 where it's tiny as fuck

Is there any reason why it feels like only half my shots register against Galena

>posting screenshots and videos despite the NDA

MOM'S GONNA FREAK

>>174772937
>ooks much better than valve's attempts at fortress games as well
lol

>>174773334
they halved the size of 2fort in TFC and TF2
you would understand if you weren't a tf2babby
