Why bother adapting to a dumb "consolized" game?

How can even such a game be considered "skill-based" if the enemy has unlocked more champions and abilities than you?

there will be a classic mode where every character has the same stats and no abilities. i don't like qc either, but don't act like they're not doing their best not to alienate veterans, while still getting the current generation interested in the game. maybe abilities and shit was exactly what the genre needed.
wait for classic mode or play reflex, ql or ut.

If you had the least amount of neurons in your small brain, you would have understood my point. Which was the fact that the devs are doing a so-called beta so hey can upsell you in the future... and make millions of dollars, out of a game that is free-to-play.

You're so stubborn. And so dumb.

>>176114106
T. Willy on community maps and mods, paraphrasing: They're looking at a way they can do it without damaging their monetization ie. players can't be allowed to mod themselves anything you pay for, so skins and champion access. If there's a mapping suite, expect it to be something locked-down and specifically made for that purpose instead of the actual engine SDK and engine access. Community modding it sounds like the closest you'll get is that they want players to be able to tweak rulesets similar to Overwatch custom modes.
He mentioned "Snapmap" while talking about it so my optimism regarding mapping and modding is pretty low. The sort of F2P model they're using is absolutely the wrong format for Quake just because it means they need to put a lot of consideration into any access they give to the SDK. It's supremely fucking fragile, and the only way Valve got away with similar F2P monetization is by building a literal economy around it. Most likely factor in the game dying is how little they stand to earn from it with this system, less than they would selling a $20 retail game with no second thoughts put into SDK access.

That's where you're wrong.

There's a difference between

A - People making a good game, and enjoying the moneterary compensation as a result of their work.

and

B - People looking for the best and fastest possible way to make money, and using any way possible to do it. Even if this implies making a bad game and splitting the original content into 4 different DLCs or offering microtransactions.

You're obviously part of the new generation of dumb gamers, unfortunately. You're just another sheep with a wallet.

At least, you could have the decensy to listen to older people that witnessed the era when developers were making good quality games and didn't have money set as the very top of their objectives list.

>f2p is a real shooting yourself in the foot type move
i think that depends entirely on the implementation. what worked for dota 2 and tf2 can work for other games.
both of valve's games have:
>community mods
>community maps
>cosmetics that don't affect the gameplay and can be bought, sold or traded
in case of tf2, gameplay affecting weapons can be found by playing the game or bought and traded. it's a system that works and makes valve millions. especially dota 2, where all content other than cosmetics is unlocked by default, just look at the yearly prize pool of the international.
preventing the community from making maps and mods is the wrong move, it will only hurt the longevity of the game. kids today are fine with spending money on cosmetics (i will never understand why), dota shows that. you get to play the entire game for free and only have to pay money if you want to look 'special'.
hiding important gameplay affecting content behind a pay/grindwall is not good. tf2 did this, but i don't agree with that decision. at least in tf2 you could trade shit or craft it, qc does not offer this option yet.

f2p can definitely work if done right. all you need is a completely free game and cosmetic items that you have to pay for. that way everyone is happy: the community stays alive thanks to the people that just play the game for free and the publisher/dev makes money through cosmetics. modders will provide endless amounts of content.

You're wrong. Free to play is not a good model for competitive and skill-based games. Here's why.

Since your only profits come from selling skins and other cosmetic items, you need to make sure that you have enough people playing your game...

And guess what, the hard-to-master skill-based games like Quake or Unreal are a niche community in 2017, unfortunately. Just look at Unreal 4... It's an amazing game, and the devs actually listened to every single thing that players wrote on the official forums... yet it is still pretty much dead. It's because the genre is not fun to 2017 players that are used to CoD, Halo or Battlefield games.

So how do you make sure you don't commit the same mistake as Unreal 4? You make your game more accessible and fun to new players, so they don't quit right away. You add Moba aspects and abilities, because it's popular to the masses. That way you make sure you'll have plenty of players playing the game and bringing in cash throuh micro-transactions. As simple as that.

Also, if you had the least knowledge about Dota 2 and had played all the games since the Starcraft, WIII mod days, you know how it is way more casual than it ever was. Maybe you're paying more attention to the arcanas and battlepasses than to actual gamelogs and patch notes, but everyhing is there for you to check.

So please, don't arue if you have no clue on what you're talking about.

The problem with F2P in competitive games is that focus is on the wrong thing. They make their money from cosmetics (or hypothetically from selling power) and that's completely separate from what the players as a whole enjoy. If you have a subscription fee game the aim is to keep the players pleased with the gameplay generally because the money is directly connected to the retention of the larger crowd. How you please them can be anything. It can be anything from presentation (cosmetics included) to engaging strategy and new content.
A buy to play game or shareware model (rare these days) aims to provide the entire value upfront. The incentive to update the game is simply in an effort to deliver the perception that it's being held fresh, as to give the consumer an idea of it being a very cost efficient game. Most of them don't .
F2P aims to please a narrow demographic who continuously buys cosmetics. Who that is I don't actually know. The industry calls them "whales". Their devotion to the game is most important, other niche (modders, competitive scene) audiences are forgotten. The general public is appeased to find more whales.

>Dota 2
Dota 2 hasn't been that affected by this because of the workshop. Valve earns a lot of money by having random people make the cosmetic content for them for free. They also sell those International pack things that contribute (millions) towards them doing a little bit of cosmetic work for arcanas mainly (special cosmetics).

As for how the game is going and why you perceive it's changing for the worse I don't know. There's a few old changes which I think made the game simpler. Other changes like the way towers now gives you armor can't be seen as making it easier really. There's a lot to go into if you wish to describe most of these changes from a balance perspective and I don't think most players are even qualified to do so. Game is just too complex at the grand scale (even if most individual efforts aren't that huge).
>>
>>176117029
Didn't even fit a (cont.)
Now you children might find F2P to be great because your allowance is just too restrictive. But for an overall quality product subscription, shareware or buy to play is a better model for longevity with regards to quality gameplay.

We have models like the Overwatch model popping up where there's a mixed pay to play and ingame purchases. Not enough data to go on for that one, maybe the cases actually helps them in some form. I do appreciate the fact that they have a paywall for the game though.

Except Unreal Tournament 4, being a ploy to bring more game industry hopefuls into using their engine, is serving its purpose perfectly fine being used as a learning tool for gamedev both in institutions and by individuals. And you're forgetting that they originally planned on selling both player-made cosmetics and maps/modifications through a marketplace, and only gave up when they realized that, actually, nobody really fucking cared about Unreal Tournament at Epic's offices enough to put an actual team on it, and the game itself is so trash garbage that only the most desperate fans of Unreal Tournament even bothered to keep paying any sort of attention to it after it launched and was obviously just UT3: unfinished edition feat. thinner models.

>>176117029
Did you even read the Dota 2 patch notes of the last few years?

Huge gold bounty if you kill a player that is doing well (patch for new players and noobs like you)

Nerf skill based heroes like Invoker (patch for new players and noobs like you)

Add two runes and bounties, because it's too hard for noobs to keep focus on the river (patch for new players and noobs like you)

Add a timer for the stun duration so you don't have to learn spells by heart (patch for new players and noobs like you)

Add a visual with the exact numbers of the damage you're taking, so you don't have to learn how much damage each attack/spell does to you (patch for new players and noobs like you)

Add shrines, so you can regen health and avoid learning to bottle-crow (patch for new players and noobs like you)

And so on...

Yet, there was a huge problem about foreigners queuing on western servers, since DAY 1 of the beta.... and it got fixed... in 2017!

We can see where Valve puts its priorities:

Making the game casual and attracting as many players as possible, to sell more stuff. Easy model, and they're not even hiding it. They said it themselve in various interviews. Their onjective is to make the game as accessible as possible and get a market share of the League players.

You should be ashamed to talk like you know somehing about a game you started playing a few months ago. Using well formulated sentences won't make your statements any more true, sorry.

You see the difference?

They wanted to make the game like the original, AND THEN implement microtransactions. Which is a good mindset, but obviously it faield, because kids don't like hard games.

On the other side, you have Quake Champions who was tweaked TO WORK with the microtransaction model. The devs made the game based on what is popular now, so they could exploit their business model as much as possible.

Is it the right thing to do?

Absolutely, if your objective is to make a lot of money.

Is it a good thing for the classic arena genre?

Definitely not. You just can't have a f2p microtransactions model AND a highly competitive game. If this was Quake Live with a new graphics motor, it would have been less popular, and the whole cosmetics and skins thing would not be profitable.

It's either:

a) f2p

Or

b) highly competitive game

Not both, like you think, because you were too young to play the old games.

Do I need to wait for the full release to unlock perks and items, or there are some in the beta already?

I've played this game since Warcraft 3. I played HoN for maybe a year before Dota 2 because my friends played that and then I moved to the game with the beta. The most recent changes I'm not that up to speed on their effects but I absolutely do read the patch notes.

See this is something that was brought up before when they changed the flying courier invulnerability to be a speed boost. You can find tons of discussion on it and if you're not a newfag you probably have because it was discussed in /d2g/ a lot. I'm happy people don't go there anymore though, place went to shit when 2gd and others told reddit he visited.

Nice, I'm glad to see that you took 2-3 hours to go do some research online and watch some videos, so you could sound like you know shit.

But the fact is that you'll convince jack shit with your 2 cents replies... Why even bother trying to sound like an expert AGAINST someone that ACTUALLY played the game in question before you were even born, and paid close attention to every single change in the game and the meta.

If you want to argue with me on what is the best set for Juggernaut or any hero... then I will stay quiet and listen to you, because I don't pay attention to these cosmetic gimmicks... So you can feel free to teach me something on that subject.

Peace.

P.S: You could take more time to go search online and watch even more videos, to try to sound even more like an expert in the matter... but the truth is, that you'll only trick the new players, because the old ones all know the real situation.

It's still too much of an arena shooter to ever be popular. I'm decent at most shooters, at least better than the average shmuck, but the game still allows someone who's REALLY good to basically fly around the map taking everyone, camping your spawns, basically denying you from actually having a chance to play the game, which isn't fun and that shit isn't going to catch on to a mass or even a niche audience. People need a place to start to understand the game and why it can be fun, not just get dominated immediately and never learn what makes the game Quake.

On a more direct, comparison to other Quake levels, my only complaints are the stats for separate characters and the weapon damage. I don't know if lighter classes go faster, because all I've played are Nyx and Anarki and a tiny bit of Clutch, but Anarki and Nyx feel like fucking origami cranes that crumble the minute anyone with an SG, RL, or LG happens to see you. It feels like weapons do too much damage in general, almost like Quakeworld. I don't know if that's just my perception from playing squishier characters though. Oh also, I feel like instead of making three "shitty versions" of weapons they should have just made one good machine gun that actually is useful, because right now the basic MG, SG, and NG are all so fucking worthless you're better off using the gauntlet.
>>
>>176126221
>>176126067

This is what I was afraid of, I'm a veteran of the series and I quite enjoy QC, but I'm not sure if new people will. I'm hoping that proper matchmaking will really fix the game, it will make new people get that rush of actually helping the team. If you're new to quake you can't do much at all against a Vet.

Am I the only person who recognizes the need for a cheat free gaming platform for PC? Do you have any idea how much revenue is being generated between esports and mtx? It's a lot. And yet all these games are undermined by a problem that doesn't exist on a closed platform like playstation 4, for example.

Would it really be so hard for like Valve, Intel, AMD, Samsung and Logitech to get together and release a closed operating system designed purely for gaming? Wouldn't it be in the best interest for their future to do so? I am one of a growing number of people who become disenfrachised with the lack of legit competitive online gaming.

I've been here since DOOM and have watched every online FPS community fail to stop cheating from Quake to CS. People always think they could just improve the anti cheat technology but guess what sunshine? It has been over 20 years and they never will.

I wish more of you would join me in boycotting competitive gaming and force these fat sacks of shit raking in billions of revenue off us to create a better platform to do so.

No an operating system isn't sufficient.
But I have considered this issue. It has nasty implications sadly. You're taking away control from the users of their computers and it's not trivial to opt out of this system.
AMD and Intel have been implementing systems for verifying software integrity in the sense of there not being malicious code. SEV&SME (AMD) is insufficient to stop cheating but it would prevent cheating among the public like you see with CS. It's less invasive with regards to the user losing control over their computer.
SGX (Intel) is far more invasive and is certainly something which a trusted distributor (Valve) could help game developers implement to actually stop cheating unless/until Intel is maliciously attacked to extract signing keys. The tl;dr of this technology is that every modern CPU today contains have encryption keys in them that let them execute encrypted instructions. Valve would send you a binary that's encrypted (to fit your key) aside from some basic startup code and then the CPU itself decrypts the code that runs and runs it.
The ways you can break this is really only by extracting the key. Which isn't really possible without millions of dollars of investment if the system is designed as they are today.
So that's promising. But it's going to require a lot of work from the side of Valve in terms of encrypting every single byte in every download for every game that uses this technology.

Arguably you can just encrypt important bits but that doesn't tend to be sufficient for secure systems.

Also it would split the community. You can't really ask people who play this secure version of the game to be forced to play with less secure users. Then you're still at risk of cheaters.

It really wouldn't. Who is gonna wanna play with a bunch of cheaters instead? Everyone will migrate to the superior platform. A purpose driven OS meant first and foremost for gaming has the potential to achieve higher framerates, along with being more secure. Faster, more stable, secure, cheat free. Better in every way.

Well not AMD users for one because they're not able to (SGX is intel exclusive tech).
Then there's >>176127925
which are a small group of people.

But there's also pirates. Pirates would hate this because they might actually be punished for what they're doing.

But it's possible that SGX could be used in a less intrusive capacity. Because with it you could implement hardware bans. Even if you don't prevent the actual cheating the penalty could be much greater.
Companies like Valve don't even dole out IP bans to CS players so with that being the current state of things I'm not sure there's actually much hope for these systems to come about. There's some argument against IP bans that don't apply to hardware bans like with dynamic IP addresses at the ISP level. But they really are quite weak.
Valve is clearly not taking all the actions they can to ensure that people who get banned leave the game.

I don't think people care enough. I do understand you though. I care a lot, having blatant cheaters makes the paranoia over covert cheaters quite disruptive. There's no doubt there's more covert cheaters than blatant ones. Yet you see blatant cheating often enough. No fun.
>>
>>176128404
I believe so, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I know for a fact that pql mode in ql makes items taller so its harder to jump over them.

Don't feel bad thats literally aerowalk. Even if both players are similar skills its very easy to rack up a ton of frags due to the nature of the map. It's one of the fastest paced maps in Quake.

The problem is the more experienced you become, the more intelligent you are, the better the player you are, the more obvious cheating is, as if it weren't already obvious by a simple google search of "your game" + "aimbot" yielding results for a readily obtainable game breaking cheat for every even semi competitive fps game ever made that had anyone playing it.

It's not just a low health indicator. It tells precisely how much health they have left in increments of 10 IIRC
>>
>>176133498
I think that's just something you learn. The low health indicator is enough. I haven't noticed it in QC though.

I'm having trouble keeping track of my own health in the game even, there doesn't seem to be good enough feedback when getting hit on how much damage you actually took. I don't know why I feel that way but it was fine in just about every other AFPS. Never had to stare at my HP counter before.

No offense to anyone here but when communicating with AFPS players outside the game do you get the feeling they're genuinely retarded? Not just internet-retarded I mean actually clinically-proven-grade-retarded. Not all of them. Not always. But sometimes they're just completely oblivious to the world.

It's entirely different with SC2 friends, chess friends or even colleges.

Just keep playing it's really not thay hard to get into unless you're trying to become a serious duel player.
>>
>>176140842
this is dumb logic. the problem is nobody plays not the players are too good. if they made a good arena fps game then matchmaking would work properly. all they need to attract tons of noobs is lots of cosmetic mtx and random drops to keep them playing plus a sense of competition/esports to make them feel important. and the game has to look good to sport their gay outfits in. coulda had all that without mobaquake if idsoftware weren't retards.

not him but I don't think the tanks are overpowered. they start off on better footing but they need more resources to get back to a decent stack. all of their abilities are extremely gimmicky sans the Clutch shield which is really underrated in duel and TDM. They're huge rail and LG bait.

Just give up on arenafps and wait for MidAir which will attract a lot of new people because its novel and not as intimidating as arena shooters, and at the same time wont have as many people adept at the Tribes gameplay, so you'll actually have a chance at catching up instead of getting stomped by people whove been playing the same game for 20 years.
>>
>>176145861
how? play around item pickups and the map itself, it's really not hard. time armor spawns or camp around a gun you're familiar with. play the crutchy tanks or something too i guess.

>>176145784
starting off on better footing would be fine except that advantage doesn't get enough of a disadvantage to make up with it. it's not their stats i have a problem with.
>>

>>
>>176146032
People have been playing Tribes for almost 20 years now.
>>
>>176145861
in most of my games I see people with 1.0 kdr are that way because they don't strafejump, stomp along in predictable paths and don't dodge anything. They just sorlag/scalebearer trade off the work of their superior teammates. If they're going to play like that they need to be Clutch on Burial Chamber/Blood Covenant and just dominate the RG area with the RG.
>>
>>176146345
you're never too old to learn a new game. you need to calm down and take things at your own pace, there will always be a class of bad players and a class of elite, it's just how things work. getting better is a matter of only paying attention to what you're doing wrong. if you're playing to improve (and you're having fun) then you're quaking the right way imo.

Which part of UT4 fits the desription I gave exactly because it's none of them besides "looks good" and that's the last thing needed not the only and it needs all of it to succeed. there's nobody even marketing ut4 and it's pre-alpha. Not to mention UT was always less popular than Quake making it a poor example. You must be really fucking dumb to even bring it up.

>>176148443

Can someone list and explain the character passives? Some places say nyx has wall jump aswell as wall run and Visor having overbounce.
>>
>>176148890
>overbounce
what is that
>>
>>176148157
if you turn too sharply or mess up a keyboard input before you turn you lose speed, but you can curve left and right and left etc. as long as you jump before the crouch slide force-ends into a regular crouch which takes around ~2 seconds or less if you mess up.
>tfw no practice tool to evaluate everyone's movement
>>176148890
Nyx has a walljump passive, it's not like UT04 where you jump OFF the wall, it's more like you just have an extra jump near a wall.
Visor's passive is stupidly named/described.
>Visor can strafejump. This is uncapped meaning he can accelerate almost indefinitely.
or something like that. Basically, he has no speedcap if you know how to strafejump.

ranger - 25% less self damage (rockets obv)
visor - no speedcap
galena - ability cooldown reduced from health pickups (small bubbles - 5%, mega - 20%)
slash - crouch slide
nyx - wall jump (no wall run)
anarki - CPM/QW movement
scalebearer - damages people when hes moving fast (jump pads/falling)
sorlag - CPM/QW movement, immune to DoT damage
Clutch - 25% damage reduction when below 250 UPS

Its when you fall from a height at 0ups in quake 3 and bounce up to the original height.
>>
>>176148940
When you jump off a certain height and land you get more speed than usual.

>>
>>176191119
You see, quake was always a real great example of 'how to keep toxic players out of the game'.
Noobs who are salty get laughed at and stomped into the ground. Example:AceD and his shamingvids.
Noobs who want to improve take the effort to look up some communities, ask pros to play with them, get destroyed but learn. They practice stuff they learn and become good players.
The 'noob hate' is just a stereotype.
>>
>>176190790
Realistically for the best precision you use the default setting on your mouse, possibly up the poll rate and set your sens accordingly. Or use some settings that have been proven to be good. With high quality mice you expect them all to be perfectly functional at all settings, then higher dpi and poll rate is better.
The sensitivity in game is just a multiplier on a cursor offset, doesn't add anything. It should be the lowest priority.

Because it's an Unreal-inspired game with its own identity instead of being a lazy copypasta of the same shit like Reflex is to Quake.

Seriously, I disliked UT2k4 back then but I feel like Toxikk has managed to make that shitty movement system actually work because the player size scale and map design is much better adjusted for it (I don't like the map Foundation though).

Problem with classic mode is how it will be implemented.

Will it just be some on the side "doesn't count" mode?

Which mods will it have? CA, CTF, duel, TDM and FFA should be a bare minimum and they should all be accessible via ranked matchmaking.

If it doesn't have all this as a bare minimum, it's shit.

Right so where can I find Quake 5 on a modern engine designed for esports with the monetary advantage a major dev has to popularize it so there's a wide variety of players?

Plain and simple if there isn't a fully featured ranked classic mode this game remains Quake only in name.

>yfw unranked custom servers have players and ranked champions is dead game
>>
>>176228338
How about Quake Live, it has an active esprouts scene and is on the modern idTech3 engine.
>>
>>176229047
If Quake Live were an idtech 6 / saber hybrid engine game with cosmetic mtx loot boxes, f2p and matchmaking then it would have shitloads of players. They could even throw in some objective based champions teamplay mode as one of the mods and I bet it would be somewhat popular or even replace CTF but it would be retarded to make the whole game based on it.
>>
>>176229545
The best part of this hypothetical is that it will never be proven right or wrong.
You can tell yourself a modern rerelease of Q3 with no gameplay changes put forth by a major studio/publisher would sell all you want, because no one will ever do it.

This was your "actual comment" which he has clearly addressed. Matchmaking is shit and server browsers are the superior mode, always has been always will be.
>>
>>176235124
It's not dumb because that's what you and other faggots whine about. That the main matchmaking doesn't play like classic Q3 however this other button on the same screen provides you exactly that minus MLG status, and you instantly ignore it because you have issues.

Your interpretation/additions to them are just that.

And you think ranks are CSGO? lmfao 90's kids are so dumb. Ranks are just another way to express stats which dates back to Quakeworld. I prefer server browsers myself but I see no reason for the option of matchmaking to not be there outside of devs being lazy shitheads.

>>176235674
Ranks and stats are and have always been just a cool side feature and nothing more. At the end of the day, actual competitive play happens in cups, PUGs, scrims and the like. Getting pretty stats or a nice rank is ultimately just a grind for fun.

So server browser is now officially "doesn't count mode?" Are you sure you are an actual vet and not a console gamer? That is a serious consideration and not me just talking shit. What I'm getting from you is it's not a proper game that "we" want unless it has CSGO moba pool tier badges, server browser-less console matchmaking, leaderboards because you don't want to play if you aren't being fed progression and can't play for fun... starting to sound like an audience that this general loves to put blames on?

Pretty fun game. Has some performance issues, a couple of champion stats balancing issues and I personally dislike the zoomed in damage bonus but overall it's an amount of flaws that doesn't surpass what I'd expect to see in a beta, those things will hopefully improve in the next builds. Also wouldn't mind if I could further reduce particle effects that clutter the screen.

There's no reason to be against classic having ranked matchmaking AND a custom server browser then. It's obvious some players prefer one over the other and I'd like to see classic attract as large of a scene as possible and this is the best way to.

Nailgun is identical in functionality, same projectile and inflicts self damage just the same.

NG and SNG sounds like nailgun THE TOOL instead nailgun THE WEAPON. Looking at their models you don't pick construction tools and shoot with them you pick up a gun designed as a weapon that happens to use nails as ammo. I just would like if it would sound more like Quake 1 NG.

QC is a fundamentally GREAT game, with lots of issues. With some cooloff time from CBT5, the top issues have crystallized in my mind


>Netcode
>Maps
>Game Modes
>Audio

Netcode would make or break this game at this point.

Maps are okay but they don't feel married to the champions like they could be. Amazing maps can mean amazing fun. There's a lot of room to improve here.

Game modes just means that the CBT is getting pretty dull with just TDM and DM and CTF or anything really would mean a lot.

Finally, Audio is surprisingly weak.

They're just hijacking the Quake name to make an Overwatch clone. A major defining aspect of twitch arena FPS's was that in normal game modes, everyone has access to the same weapons and mobility, requiring players to be able to quickly adapt to specific players themselves and their individual playstyles.

A hero shooter with abilities inherently doesn't allow for that. You're just going to be adapting to whatever champs players are using and the narrow niches they each occupy by switching your own heroes.

If you've played Overwatch, you can expect similar player behaviors; i.e., people switching to the champ you just killed them with and other stupid shit like that.

Yeah, but they're going to be using it as an excuse to be lazy with VR. They'll go for style instead of realism because you can't accuse someone of stealing your art style if you're going for realism.

I'm not trying to say don't play them or anything, I just want the kids to be aware that this isn't a return to the golden age of arena shooters, they're just using the name for nostalgia purposes as part of the marketing.

Those games were a lot more brutal. If you wanted to git gud with a weapon, you switched to it and got decimated while you learned how to not suck using it. Hero shooters hold your hand by altering the properties of each hero to compensate for what weakens them when they're playing to a strength; i.e., hard hitters move slowly, low armors move fast, etc. That's not an arena FPS, that's a hero FPS.

People don't ragequit enough in OW and they won't ragequit enough in QC for them to be real arena shooters. If your puny wil' support gets slaughter, the game is designed to make you feel like you're already doing something to get back in the game by making the heavy hitter you just switched to really loud and gung ho about busting heads instead of repawning you quietly without brandishing your weapon in front of the FOV to show you how much bigger and therefore better your gun is now.

I'm just old and salty that this new casual comp scene doesn't exclude the non-autistic who don't have feelings to hurt into ragequitting. Vidya is supposed to be my pillow fort.

You realize that you still have to know how to use the weapons in QC right? All that abilities do is to help pontentially get an extra kill in specific situations, with a cooldown comparable to a major pickup. You still need to have good tracking aim to use the lightning gun, to position yourself properly to use the shotgun or the rail, etc.

I just did a big demographic analysis and evaluation of current QC interest and...

QC is going to be about 20x more popular(in active playercount) in the first couple months at least than QL is currently. Which means QC is dead before it starts. Looking at QC from this angle, I have to say that id Software is shooting themselves in the head by not making QC more like Overwatch.

That'll mean too few players. Those aren't good numbers. After normal attrition from the initial surge, the playerbase will be too small to be self-sustaining. I didn't even try to account for system requirements/internet that the current QC CBT hints at being very high. I didn't have enough data on that and just assumed that every guy with a toaster who wants to play QC will be able to play QC.

there's no such thing as 'deserved shitposting', because that guy was also shitposting that you responded to, to an original, shitpost.

you see what i mean? you know that super old internet video back from when collegehumor was good "we didn't start the flamewar"? that's exactly what happens in chains like these, and it degrades the quality of the general.

The best part about late 90's FPS's and movies was the bleak, oppressive atmosphere. I don't want Bethesda to make Quake enjoyable. I like it because I'm a masochist.
>>
>>176308731
it's true. what made these games popular was the brutal nature and utterly insane theatrics of the gameplay. they became less popular not because of the difficulty but because they stopped being terrifying and jaw dropping. they needed to double down on the core aspects rather than noobify everything.
>>
>>176308731
>bleak, oppressive atmosphere
What exactly do you mean?
>>
>>176308731
>>176308914
I think that aesthetic was positive because it was fresh. Games weren't brutal all that often and ID made it their thing.
I really don't think that works today. We don't see many brutal games aside from the obvious survival-horror games.
Could be wrong of course.

>qc is mobawatch ahajhahahjahahshjhaja becus abilites and i said so
everybody can use any gun, you arent limited by any champ to any weapon. unlike in an actual class-based game
only 2 or 3 abilities are powerful enough to win 1v1s consistently, the rest you could have git gud and avoid easily
not to mention YOU ALSO have the abilities, and if you cant use your tiny 2d brain to utilize them then you deserve to lose, this isnt quake
they should really make everyone on the same level of health and speed and fix the hitboxes though

>>
>>176309952
>they should make everyone the same health
No that's utterly retarded in this mobaquake. Compromising their vision makes a worse game. They should add elements that make control more important but setting everyone's health and hit boxes to be the same will just make the game extremely similar to the older titles. Nobody would play that.
>>
>>176308731
For me I just liked the immersive, otherworldly feel of Unreal 1 and UT99. Quake 1 had a nice atmosphere but 2 and 3 didn't really pull me in (with regards to the atmosphere alone).

>>176309952
Yeah people are stigmatizing the class aspect way too much. This is clearly a game where ultimately the better player wins instead of it being about "hardcounters". It's far more comparable to an arena version of games like ET or Dirty Bomb where aiming is extremely important than to Overwatch. Fuck they even made it so that you can choose a champion with better air control or one with uncapped air accel to pander to the niches within the Quake community.

My only complaints are the performance issues (game starts stuttering for me after about and hour and I have to restart it), the bad lag compensation for projectiles, and the zoom damage. For the HMG I don't even care that much but for the rail 100 is just stupid. I don't know about normalizing the stats like you said, but some cases are pretty nonsensical like Galena being slow as shit without being tanky or Slash having straight up worse stats than Ranger all around.
>>
>>176311025
>people stigmatise the classes too much
>complains about a weapon damage & speed rebalance that is completely in line with every other change in the game
My problem is that scoping the rail isn't restrictive enough. It's so easy to do the scoping while on the move it won't achieve what they aim to do with it so it's just another noob trap. So remove it or be more effective in implementing it.
>>
>people complain about the zoomed damage bonus on some weapons
>little did they know that the devs have plans to add imcreased damage on ALL weapons
>before we know it, theyre going to condition everyone to play on a 30 fov, slow ass "quake" game

where will you be when the 150 damage rockets and 10 damage tick lightning guns hit
>>
>>176311025
Galena is slow because she's a supportive character. Being able to heal your quad runner in tdm is massive. Compared to the other abilities it's very impactful in a more serious setting.
I see it as proof that they're having some kind of pro-scene communication. From a casual pov it makes no sense.
>>
>>176311546
This is the best feedback I've seen to the zoom damage. It'd probably be more interesting if its tied to movement, but thats really clunky and weird. Honestly I just wish it wasn't in game, but if it is I'm not sure how else they could do it.
>>
>>176311546
Well on the other hand scoping seems to mess with your sensitivity. I basically had to use the rail like a standard sniper rifle doing "quickscopes" because if I held it for too long it became harder to track targets because it didn't translate well to my muscle memory. With the HMG I also had shit accuracy when zoomed but on the other hand it does so much damage that it didn't really matter.
>>
>>176113815
Yeah it does, it reaches out pretty far though
>>
>>176312095
The hmg spread is stupid big. I don't think your tracking ability is at fault primarily.
>>
>>176312904
The easiest way to improve would be to give both mgs Quake 3 spread but lower damage/remove zoom. There are people familiar with Quake that currently complain about the default MG dealing too much damage, but on the other hand my friends from other games who I played with were annoyed at how shit it was, personally I prefer the QL mg, even if it takes longer to kill I can actually aim with it. It also doesn't help that the mouse input seems to become much less accurate if the FPS drops below 100.

>>
>>176314682
people are still playing them more than 20 years later after release
there are less than a handful of games that have that dedicated of a community
>>
>>176314682
When was the last time there was a fresh new AFPS with a decent amount marketing and that wasn't utterly mishandled by the devs? I still remember when UT3 was coming out, the Unreal community was super excited for it, all the big mappers and modders were coming up with ideas about all the cool shit they could make for it, then that horrible beta demo came out with all sorts of issues and was followed by the full release which was barely different from the beta and still had all the same crap that people complained about, then UT3 died and everyone went back to UT99 and 2k4, which simply continued to slowly lose players naturally as they aged.

tl; dr: players interested in AFPS exist, there are just no more quality big titles for them to flock to, so they're all spread out in dozens of small niche communities.

Pretty much. I know lots of Quake players are dad's now so they haven't been spending time with unfinished games but I have the privilege of being a NEET 24 year old so I have had he privilege to play through dozens of unfinished products. The larger the company the less happens with the product in the design department. Bugs are promised to be fixed by they aren't. It's not rare for the old bug reports to be deleted from the forums though.
I wouldn't be so cynical if something would have happened between the beta weekends but I don't see why I would keep hope right now. Hope is nice when you can have it but it's not realistic at a certain point. Decide what week you give up.
