Looks like him, but it's just a look-alike. Probably chose him because they couldn't get the real fat.

looks too jewish to be fatal1ty

The start!

Yep, it's happening.

Shootmania style cash grab incoming...

Hoping for same game-lifespan.

Why would you want anything other than for Quake to succeed? Bitter cunt.

Because... this is not Quake?



Well, in name only. How the crackwhores would hype it to oblivion otherwise?

Thank god at least someone was ignoring people like you, otherwise you'd still be watching evil win his 100 dollars once a week, believing that's how stuff is supposed to look like.

It's definitely not quake. It's also not quake2, quake3, nor quake live. It's something with a lot of potential, and still in beta. But i do understand hating from the get go is easier - reducing the chance of emos hyping stuff up and getting hurt over a videogame.

Played 150 QC games, FFA / TDM / duel mixed (even won most of it, hence I'm not hating on it because I got mercilessly obliterated), so I legitimately vomit.


Maybe I will give it a chance again, if:

1) It will have decent visibility.
2) It will have decent sounds.
3) It will have decent hitboxes.
4) Engine won't have ridiculous performance issues AND won't feel unresponsive under 200 fps.
5) I won't have to wait 5-10 mins before a match start and 3-5 mins after the match ends to load the menu ( I guess you could include this on the 'performance issues' tab, but oh well) - this is already a HUGE turnoff in itself.
6) Proper TDM ruleset gets implemented.
7) 5821 more VERY BASIC settings gets implemented.

But the movement speed cap, the new 'duel' (much lmao) and the lack of console will still be majorly cringe-worthy, even then.


Btw watching evil $100 / week >>> this monkey festival atm.

Edit: I wonder how long will it last when people stop throwing serious money at it. )

* 4) Engine won't have ridiculous performance issues AND won't feel crap under 200 fps.

This one, I totally agree. Its SO annoying to be freezing and being stopped for a second here and there. The rest I can live with :)

Ye, DOOM (2016)'s pure id Tech 6 ran circles around this, even when the game was in beta.

because id had my endless list of real bugs and fixes and knowledge of everything, and now its down to aload of tards

You know shit's real when p0rt is making sense.

Q53A when?

never, modding games is a waste of time

Tell that to Quake 3 or Bethesda "RPGs". : >

beth RPG's are just full of peodo's and weirdo's
quake 3 just tweak a few lines

i had to recode 60% of teh SDK to add water + huds, guided projectiles, end of game winner thirdperson view, lipsync voice taunts, full custom player models, and a 100 other things

F3's CotW and FWE mods are of the awesomest things out there. : >

Joke's on you, the money for the prize pool comes from the budget that was planned to be used for fixing all of these things.

Not a huge loss then. Well, not even a loss to begin with.

sarcasm or cluelessness?

naiveness or false hope?

i dont think so. i dont get the reasons for distributiong the prize money as they do and i question if their whole approach to esport will lead to a healthy competitive community in the long run.

but i am quite sure that the allocation of price money for a tournament like this has little to do with the funding of development. just because they raised money (in partnerships with esl/spopnsors) does not mean you could just shift it over and hire 5 more coders and have all technical problems solved.

i really wish they would focus more on nailing the technical side first anyway, but imho it does not make sense to throw the price money into this discussion

No idea, but I suspect cluelessness. I like to think that id/bethesda just do these things out of spite for all of the people who won't stop worshipping their 20 year old franchise, but the much sadder truth is that probably they're just incompetent.

Or were you talking about me?

Quakelive also looks better with maximized pure visual aesthetics turned up because the art is actually pretty good as is the style... at least IMO.

You're right QC has huge potential.

Problem is id will squeeze as much potential out of this game as much marmalade you can squeeze out of chocolate donut.

Less than 2 months, game ready for it? I hope so!

less money more patching pls

Oh look, serious money and a long term esport vision.

Haters getting nervous.

Did He4rTL3sS share his medicine with you?

Why do you choose being bitter, negative and miserable?

It's not a choice :D
<3
I just prefer to play good games.

Because quake champions is a finished product you already tried out and/or have a clue regarding what it's going to be like when it's done?

1. It's broken now.
2. They aren't fixing shit.
3. Not broken QC would be cool casual game. Which is kinda okayish and kinda sad.
Hoping for the best <3

You don't have a slightest clue about what they are doing, and you don't know what the game will look like in two months time.

So i'll take that as a no.

Stop being so aggresive. What happened to you?! ; - ;7

dude i honestly am not :D

it's just like, you have one thing that had a go and failed along the way. now you have another thing which can breathe some new life in the whole story, they are willing to put a lot of money into it, and it's still in beta. i played like 3 waves of betas and it obviously feels far from awesome, but it's pointless to believe it can't be good. a beta game with all its flaws is a better product in this moment than a dead copy paste remake of quake3 because it has a lot of room to grow unlike quake live which is where it's at and it's not going anywhere. why wouldn't qc be good in like 6 months time? they can do literally whatever they want to do with it. you expect a beta game to be as good as something which kept growing for 17 years basically? seriously? how reasonable is that?

as if early quake 3 was good. and then it was. early quakelive got more hate than this. and now people want money to be pumped into quakelive instead of this? it's like what used to be the vq3 community is the new promode community in 2017. the fucking vegans of esr.

this kind of crappy attitude is the reason why qc was a risky move honestly. you'd probably be happier with quake live 2, ending with a 100$ online cups after a year, failing as the first one did? dunno, i wouldn't. quakelive was a failed experiment, specifically made because of all the purist who hated every single thing that isn't quake3. so they got a new quake3 and it lasted as much as it did. so they want to try something different, cause a quake3 remake didn't work. doesn't get more logical than this.

the new duel system is weird, the netcode feels like crap, some of the champions feel dumb as shit, the damage output is random at least - but the game isn't even out yet. it's like hating a fetus in the womb cause it looks weird on the screen. at least wait for it to come out and then hate the fucking thing is all i'm saying.

why wouldn't qc be good in like 6 months time? they can do literally whatever they want to do with it

That's why :=)

Dude, they have 20 years of experience and now they can't even push the game in good direction : DDDD

You gotta be crazy!
You gotta FaceIt.
<3

quakelive was a failed experiment, specifically made because of all the purist who hated every single thing that isn't quake3

This doesn't sound right. QL was made as an experiment of a game in a browser. It wasn't a huge risk because there were never a lot of resources thrown at it.

At that point, Q4's failure wasn't reason enough for id to believe that people hated anything that's not Q3 because Q4 didn't fail due to differences from Q3.

QL had almost a million people sign up the first day. Had those people been able to actually play it without issue they probably would have had a huge success on their hands. It appears they are headed down the same path with Quake Champions only the actual game itself is a lot worse.

Recently played with some newbs in QL with 40 handicap and they had a ball. They will be coming back I think but I guess we'll see how QC turns out.

QL had almost a million people sign up the first day.

Yes, I don't think they realized how popular their experiment would be.

With QC, they were going for popularity from day one, but it looks like the population is very small right now.

why wouldn't qc be good in like 6 months time?

Because they don't listen to the community nor will they have mods to save the game for them like with previous quakes.

as if early quake 3 was good. and then it was.

However good it became it was because the community made it that way. If anything it just goes to show that id was never good at making MP shooters, but they were good at making engines. Now they don't even have that.

He does have a clue, he clearly tried the beta. You on the other hand seems didn't. Play the beta card all you want, you can't polish a turd.

not hard to tell with how they're going about things that the game isn't going to change. they've had 2 months to change anything and haven't. it'll be the same in 2 months but with skyrim champs.

something something Painkiller

I have to wonder how anybody can think id have a long-term vision when they blow 1M$ on a single tournament, instead of, let's say, 200k$ at every major LAN during the next year.

Oh, and their vision is so thought out and clear, they don't even know what their actual competitive gamemode is.

To be fucking honest, from everything I have seen and heard/read about QC, I believe that they could import QL Clan Arena rule set into QC and THAT would be the most exciting competitive mode for major LAN tournaments.

edit: At this current time.

"long term esport vision"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

priceless.

The game isn't even playable. Wasted money

This is sick! Seriously hope that the issues that have been prominent get ironed out, and that there's some serious value taken from the feedback that's been given.

I remember reading a topic somewhere, don't know exactly where. But there were some salty guys talking about Quake Champions and Dead On Arrival or something... Maybe it was a dream.

The biggest instagib tournament in history incoming!

Yeah because a big prize pool tournament turned Shootmania into a long lasting success... oh wait

wp agent, good finals but not that close

Just needs to actually be smooth, so many freeze lags even with i7 4790k and gtx 1080 :/

your computer is under powered for qc imo

lol

thank god this isn't meant to be a competitive game!

Might try a format and install Windows on the newer SSD. I have 16gb ram though too..

hes being sarcastic, the problem isnt your rig, its the game(engine).

I know, but I want to eliminate anything that's my fault. Even after full reformat it's still laggy as hell. Shows over 140fps all the time but feels like it's dropping to 5fps/totally freezing every 30 seconds or so even on low everything and even when trying 75% render scale.worst optimization ever.

Remember you gotta restart this game all the time. After about 4 games, it starts to degrade in performance.

It's horrible the first game when I load it up

Same for me, I encounter a lot of stutter in the first game I play, and then with time it gets better. i5-6500, 16 gb RAM and GTX 1060 6gb here.

And I put everything on "medium" quality.

The thing is, when I look at other players stream, everything seems smooth as fuck so I really wonder what makes the difference. My game is installed on a quite old HDD Green from WD though, that's the only feeble thing in the build (which is not overkill but still good I guess).

That or my internet, because my connection is pretty low. I receive 19 Gb from the server but I upload only 700 Mb...

It doesn't make any sense tbh. I've formatted and installed Windows 10 on my new SSD and it's still a stutter fest.

Since the new patch, the first 20 seconds of every map is like that for me. My computer isn't half as good as yours though, so I put up with a few imperfections.

Could be your internet connection. What's ur up/download and if you look at up/down during play and during slowdowns, can you conclude something from it?

Win has a network monitor in system panel somewhere.

75 download, 20 upload FTTC and not traffic managed. Pretty sure its not tbh :)

BJ Blazkowicz character has faster move speed (450) but is unable to jump.

; - ;7

still not bothered playing the crappy game, and i'll beat the fuck outta all of ya

I do not judge how good a game is or how successful it will be based on how much money is pumped into it's promotional "e-sports" events.

Also, that video made me cringe so fucking hard, this is how you do it the right way:



the community always knows best, bethesda, pay attention for once lol

I chose song for that video :)

take all my plusses, i wrote the script for that

Upside down plusses are still plusses. I'll take them!

Did you just randomly choose those names scrolling at the end? :D

I see Pawnstar in there LOL. :D

we grabbed just a bunch of member names randomly yeah

Great video though. :D

Incredible news.

Even if... watching 5 minutes, 3 frags ZTN will be fucking pain.

ztn seems really boring in duel, played a couple of games on it yesterday in matchmaking where we got so bored that they concluded in us just stood inanimate talking about beer and random shit.

Guess we can thank Carmack https://venturebeat.com/2017/02/02/small-mist...st-oculus/ as $500 million is a lot of money and will mean plenty more tourneys for this game in the future.

They could do $10 million tourneys over the course of each year for the next 10 years and still have $400 million in the bank lol

Is this Rapha's retirement plan? :D

What's with this akimbo business? I'm guessing an active ability where you pull another gun out of your ass.

Then you put it back halfway and do 1337 squats.


: D

Oh dear.

Not sure how not OP. :D
I mean, you spawn with this ability ready.

The squatting will cost a certain amount of hp and dignity. )

Oh I see a BIG patch.

Servers open "indefinitely".

New champ. New gun. 3 new maps including Blood Run. Private games. Spectator mode. Tutorials. No mention of netcode.

netcode? cmon man thats a nerd term, nobody cares about netcode.

Or a game that ever finishes starting up, it seems....

I'm happy to see this, but on the other hand I'm worried they think big prizepools => big playerbases and not the other way around.

Not MY quake.
#resist

thanks :D

Who can withstand lag long enough to make it to Qcon?

weird thing is... plays horribly on low/medium but runs smooth on high.

'lag is okay, it's not like you can't use her yourself to counteract her spit ability

1 million. That's like so many donuts.

maybe it's actually a "1 million donuts" prize purse.

Such an enormous waste of money. You could make Diabotical 8 times with that amount. Or Reflex's KS version (the AAA one with textures and MvM) twice, and still have plenty of idle funds for marketing.

Instead it's used as prize money for a tournament. What is the thought process behind this? Do they think this will magically make a large number of people interested in the game? Why 1 Million? Something like 150k$ (random number which is much less than 1Mil) would have been plenty to attract all players that have a decent chance at winning this (i.e. the top100 or whatever from QL and maybe a few people from other games) and gain some attention.

The 1Mil prizepool is the kind of shit you can pull when you make this amount of money with cosmetics. But this requires having that many players, which is what you should strife for.

what is the thought process behind this?

I don't think I want to know what his other hand is doing.

it'll definitely attract quite a few more players to the game, the problem is that it's quite a boring game and needs a £3,000 PC to run smoothly.

$1million is an attention grabbing figure, no one cares about $150k because in esports terms it's a crappy prize for a lan these days.

Yes, it does not make sense on paper.

I think it really depends on the condition the game is going to be when QuakeCon hits, if they will get some patches done and do some meaningful things with the game, then it might not be so bad and such a prize pool could be justified for a launch tournament, the first major ever. Unfortunately the game is nowhere near where it should be for such recognition and advertisement.

Need to also take in account that they are basically doing 2 tournaments at once, for duel and a team mode which includes a lot more players where the prize pool will significantly divide among participants.

Its a massive payday anyway compared to normal quake prizes.

having my own tourney. who can come up with the best "bj" thread title on the bethesda forum without it being deleted/modded.

Open a thread with an above knee softcore blowjob.gif

It will infuriate them

standard MOBA prizepool tbh

https://clips.twitch.tv/EnergeticBlightedStrawberryPupper

can they use this million dollars to hire quality devs to make sound work and make the game actually feel like quake.

Who put the money?

I never tought i would see a million dollar prizepool for an instagib tournament

hard times = easy gamemodes like insta + CA :()

money taken from the netcode team bugdet

anyone watch the pros vs devs?
besides zero4, the devs are all t2 noobs.... and they're designing the game.

True, they tried to do the same as overwatch devs, but its clear the talent differences between the devs of both games. Overwatch devs were winning games vs top players for the first months, QC devs LMAO.

to me its quite bizarre how a long term id employee, specifically tim willits, is unable to perform any strafejumps in this new quake game.
i do not expect him to be on the level of an australian noctis or toxic but he should at least have a general grasp how the movement works and should be able to perform its rudiments.

it further raises the question, whether his ability in playing a quake game had an impact on the qc development - considering sync and co. claimed that the classic hp system was too complicated for noobs (as they had datamined plenty of ql match in order to come to such conclusion)

the whole argumentation on id's site leaves me baffled:
- they treat their player base like monkeys who are unable to understand that when you are low hp you have to pickup a health bubble. holy shit - even nintendo casuals and kids that are under 10 understand that you have to gather your fuckin heart containers in order not to die. But those out-of-touch-devs - as i would like to claim -gathered some "statistics" amongst old ql games which fit their assumption (maybe this could help them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias)

maybe its time to question the old senior employees at id and their ability to understand what the market and its players need. it is not sufficient to be a good coder/developer nowadays when you actually release a product that no one wants.

...The fish rots from the head

Kinda funny how they think that a bubble sometimes giving players one bar and other times it gives them two is not confusing. Not that I'm all that surprised given the other choices they have made with QC like deciding that sacrifice is the mode they will push, but afaik most of the player base doesn't enjoy it in public play. They say it is simple to follow, but commentators often couldn't even tell when the soul was in play or had moved to the other obelisk based on the E3 footage......

the game mode is bullshit anyway; random spawn, no balance, no strategy, no hold, no push, straight DM with ball. WTF

The ball thing-y is sure let the caster and the audience something to focus on, but that's it?
That's all does it take for a game to become an E-sports. Spectator friendly?

arnold schwarzenegger and hitler where australians too...

wait... i see an austrian kangaroo.. i should go

No the overwatch Q&A team which had many old progamers among their ranks were beating top fps players during beta. However Overwatch isn't even a pure fps game so you have to take into account that the skills those pros carried over meant very little.

Anyway I doubt twilly had much to do with this game. You can just blame the usual retards Sync/Sponge.
