I think you have the right idea, but there is no way in hell how this is gonna work.

Which part of "free weekend" do you not understand?

I have idea that maybe we as experienced players shall stay in-active for some time to give noobs more space to let them play vs other noobs only.

That's id's job.

It's not about who's job it is but it's in our interest to grow Quake player base.

How should more players play Quake when they start to play QC?

I have no idea. I don't play QC either. Last time I tried to start it a few days ago it didn't even start due to some internal http error.

Anyway getting new people into QL is impossible too. My thought process is just that newbs can like QC more than old Quakers. I'm looking into profits that we can get if new title arise in genre of Arena FPS. I don't think I will be ever interested in playing QC but increasing the size of our family under QC still makes sense to me.

yea i saw people playing ql coming from qc. when i asked them what is different about qc they said its easier.

they think: oh is free, let's try.
oh, don't like, unistall.

they think: oh is free, let's try.
oh, how are other players so good? challenge accepted.
*become next clawz*

naa, too "hard" and too boring to play, then, they left :D

People need games that have instant gratification or team games where when you're dogshit at the game and you lose you can flame and blame others, so you don't feel too bad and will come back and play more.

The thick skinned gaming generation has died out and the rise of the soft snowflakes have taken over.

If they can't become "pro" within a week they'll just move on to the next shiny video game.

I agree. Just want to add that in QC team games have quiet weak connection between team players. I mean everyone plays for his own scores. There's nothing that would promote team play or the will to win the match as a team. Like CS:GO has this ranking system, everyone wants to rank up which makes them carry who they play with and how your team mates are doing. It's forcing them to cooperate, share information and guns. There's nothing like this in QC at the moment.

I would not recommend you to wish that this feature will be implented in QC.

It hasn't died out.

IT'S RIGHT HERE

COME AT ME

))

majority of people don't want to get pro, they just want to have fun. quake doesn't offer that for decades to newcomers. fun starts after months of grind.

I have idea that maybe we as experienced players shall stay in-active for some time to give noobs more space to let them play vs other noobs only. You know the past that it always end ups badly when people get rekt.

I think that MM already working this way. That is the reason why better player waiting for game long time, even if there is 15 000 players.

I personally doubt the reliability of MM at the moment.

Can anybody confirm that in the 15k, they already deducted the bots which join every match?

iam not sure what u mean, but steam counts every user von steam who is ingame atm:
http://steamcharts.com/app/611500

steam doesnt "see" the bots ingame.

Steam doesn't scan game servers to pull player count, it only sees the number of players who have their steam client reporting that they have the game running.
Hence, server run bots are not seen by steam at all, they don't contribute to the player statistics.

dont really understand the freetoplay made so many players play qc, u still need a costly highend computer easily worth 1000 € to be able play QC ... as if 5 € for a game would be much for someone who has gfx card in his system for 250 € plus

^ this

because people are rational, right?

I think the problem is that people do not know what Quake is, and, therefore, do not know if they like QC or not.

I wouldn't spend $5 on a game I didn't know I would like or not.

Back in the good, old days, games used to come with demos. Demos that let you play a map or two - to see if you like the game.

Now QC will be $40(?) or don't even try it... take your chances.
With all the competition in new games every day, I totally understand why most people aren't going to spend anything on a game they don't understand or have ever really heard of.

it's either just play it F2P (you can unlock all of the champions instantly if you just keep grinding it) or pay money to unlock it all + future champs.

Oh, QC isn't going back to pay-only?
That's good.

(Now I feel silly for having paid $30 for the early access stuff)

you get all of the champs + future ones at least.

You're getting a little carried away with your commas, buddy.

Watch and learn, buddy.

What dont you understand?

PUBG has a peak playercount over last 30 days of 1.8million players and it needs a better PC than QC to run. Obviously there are many people with the computer to run it thats not an issue. QC 18 000 peak thats 1%

Also even a gen1 i5 can hold 60-80fps with dips to maybe 55 on QC and probably a 760gtx would be ok, so this is more like a $400 computer to get ur entry level 60fps.

And any new free game on steam is going to get a flood of new players in the first few weeks. All the people who have exhausted the available games will just click install on something new, this will happen by the millions of people.

I expect the numbers may rise somewhat more until that point where most of the hardcore steam users have either tried or looked past the game, then it will begin to drop back to reality.

The game dosent have much to offer and is not in a great state so that reality may be pretty harsh.

Edit: ok I think i took your post out of context, you weren't commenting on people not being able to run it, rather people not willing to spend $5 lol. I think they probably have made quite a few sales, just the game is such torture to play that even these f2p people will leave soon.

QC feels like absolute shit unless you're getting solid 120 fps...150 even better obviously. I haven't gotten a new computer in 6 or 7 years and I'm playing with 70-120fps and it is so frustrating that I can't play for more than a game or two.

Well, yea I guess.

I use 144hz screen I cannot play deathmatch with 60hz so I know where you are coming from, however I did play QC with just a Gen1 I5 @ 3.5ghz and it did not feel too bad to me (aside that it just feels bad in general, but thats another story)

What I have thought lately is that 50fps on a 144hz screen does not feel anywhere as bad as 50fps on a 60hz screen if that makes sense, so maybe that why it felt ok (sort of) to me.

At any rate I think like 3 out of 4 steam users are so clueless that would happily run around at 40fps on their 60hz screens not strafing or even jumping and dont know any better. It wouldnt stop them from installing the game for a try at the least ( and boosting the shit out of current steam stats for the next few weeks)

Edit; Anyway I have 6600k now, and while framerate is better, nothing else really changed, Still a netcode clusterfuck. There are plenty of other reason to rage on this game than framerates lol

I am on 144hz as well. Hahaha good point, there are numerous other reasons for the game feeling like shit :P Every time I play it I find myself wishing I was playing literally any other version of quake.

So why don't you?

The only time I have to play games now is about 2-3am pacific time for an hour or two while listening out for my daughter...there is no quake activity at this time. Even QC is dead, I usually just play OW or just watch a movie or play guitar or something.

Too bad that the engine starts to feel slightly more responsive at 200 fps and above.

Hmm I believe it...not going to buy a new computer just for QC but once other games start running like shit for me I will upgrade :P

That's possibly years ahead, if you have a semi-decent rig. : >

Yes you are correct :P I have no issues playing any other newer games so I should be good for a couple years :> Unless QC magically becomes fixed (and I mean game issues, the champs don't really bother me) and the playerbase skyrockets then I probably won't invest in a new computer until I have to.

On my part, I'm gonna go i5-3470 + GTX 750 Ti OC ----> i7-3770 + GTX 780 / R9 290 in about a week or so, and then hoping that the stuff gonna last another few years. But the longevity of the LGA1155 socket is sick anyhow.

I wonder how the QC-performance will scale compared to my current rig though - because it's prolly still the only game that runs like crap.

My son and his mates started playing QC this past week because of f2p. None of them have very good computers but they still seem to enjoy it immensly, one of the biggest reasons being champions and a gameplay that resembles nothing else on the market at this point. I don't think they know they're playing bots on a regular basis, even if they did I'm not sure they'd care. As long as they get to play opposition about their strength they have a bloody good time. As for stamina, hard to tell, they also play a lot of TF2. A game like TF2 have a lot bigger playerbase granting even beginners a fair chance of getting a couple of frags, perhaps I should say the larger player base grants better team dispositions. In QC with a playerbase the size it is now, bots added on that, I find chances for beginners playing versus seasoned veterans slim and therefor continues to play. Sorry for rambling...

you are a terrible parent, keep that kid away from the donut!

He is playing QL too from time to time but he finds QC much more gratifying, it would take revamped graphics and a more vivid scene for him to really get into it but we all know that...

edit: because of stuff...

If it would take "revamped graphics" and "more vivid scene", he's playing the wrong franchise.


I mean c'mon, id Tech 3 is STILL beautiful today, especially with the "freshly" integrated bloom effects. Nice aesthetics are way more than polygon count and bumpmaplensflare mountains.

Say that to a 10 year old xD

I showed q3 for my 11yrs old sister and she liked it, she's still playing it from time to time, not online ofc, spacectf with bots mostly.

Im not going to show her qchamps tho :D at least not at current state of this game.

Your sister is a different breed. <3

I definitely WILL, when the time comes.

But as I know myself, it won't be needed. : >

Yeah I love the way Quake live looks if you was picmic zero I don't need Quake Champions graphics

he 10 year olds shouldn't be the one in charge what's it matter what you said to him you should do what you tell him

He also plays Q2 and Q4, Q2 coop with me and Q4 SP by himself.

dont really understand the freetoplay made so many players play qc

might be more a thing along "oh hey, this is free for a weekend, meaning it ought to have lots of people trying it out, so I'm gonna try it out too since there will be people". Kind of like a self fulfilling prophecy, which might happen with every game that gets a free weekend.

That 1000 EUR is without proper display (unless you use CRT) and peripherials.

i propose the contrary; show no mercy to noobs, gaunt every corpse and mark their every death with floods of smileys.

What follows the death of qc can only be a proper quake or no quake at all.

I tried, but noobs are raping me with 60% MG and 55% LG, even thru walls and behind corners :<

xD

sounds like QL/Q3 since 10years

minus the cheater and/or the huge amount of 2nd + 3rd accounts

exactly, hard times makes strong men, good times make weak men.

... strong men will stay in quake for good, whimps will ... well who needs whiners and cheezers in quake anyway.

Quake champions "arised" only because it went free to play and was at the same time stremed by huge streamers.

Those players won't stay.

Even with all the noobifications, the gay champions, the retarded lizards, the bling bling of 100.000 notifications creeping in from every corner of the screen, and the 1.000.000.000 pink/glittery skins, the game isn't still as pleasing as modern mobas and battle royales.


Compare quake champions' playerbase with Realm Royale's, a game that was released for free about the same time as quake champions: RR already has a daily peak of 63.000 players, compared tpo quake champion's 17000

Anyway 17k peak is very good, i dont remember q4 numbers but it's years since there arent so many players in quake.

it's actually closer to 18k than 17k

Number of players staying for good: 477

You're looking at the QL stats again bro

I'm being realistic bro. No pink fog here.

Or you're just a salty "vet" that can't cope with the new times and just gotta bring up the superiority complex all the time. It's sad, but you won't get it because you're way deep. There's no pink fog, but there sure is cancer floating around. And you're not getting happy any time soon =)

The saddest thing is all the constant negativity and wanting nothing but bad for the game you should be supportive of (since it shares 90% of the DNA with his favorite game). But I guess it's easier to say things like "ID tech3 is way more beautiful than this QC shit" nonsense. Yeah, QC looks like awful, sure.

You won't get a Q3A/QL remake, not sure why that's so hard to take in. Even weirder - I'm not sure why you're all complaining about the Champions if you got your perfect game? Oh yeah, your time has passed. You're now left without a competitive scene, no tournaments, it's down to the last 400 grandpas to have fun with custom HUDs, txt configs, and all the other "there's just no way to play the game without this much control" things. The same thing happened to Q1 when Q2 came out, then to Q2 folk making fun of Q3 movement, and so on. The cycle will repeat and there's nothing you can do unfortunately. The game is insanely fun to play and is as refreshing as other Quake games were in their respective timeline.

So see ya watching QuakeCon stream with a ton of people, see ya at when the game is even further boosted by most major streamers for months upon release. Take care bro :*

I'm not hoping for a Q3 remake. I know how shitty the new-age FPS kids and their "needs" are, so I'm not that delusional.

I'm hoping for a FUCKING DECENT ENGINE FFS and more than FUCKING-70-IQ-"DEVS". And less shitting on our uberloyal faces. Last good example was the "harmless" Red Shell brainfuck. When they got busted by a vigilant member of the community, the quick explanation they gave was just pathetic, like their actions in the last 9 years, doing almost everything in their power to butcher Quake.


Oh, wait... Registered: 26 Jun 2018.

So you are just a random troll riding id's dick, hoping for some leftover donut crumbs. My bad.

are you even trying?

we should be very happy with a 17k player peak, considering its an arena shooter.
if they add more content (CTF!), it will help to maintain high numbers (10k would be already very good).

the current content is just not enough, so iam expecting a drop in players very soon.

battleroyale is the current hype and made for noobs. ofc its popular.
but so was CS1.6 18years ago, q3 wasnt able to compete at all. (lets face the truth)

and all this ranting about QC is so silly, come on, its still quake with strafejumping and the same weapons. champions are a nice addition imo.
we should support that since it will be the last attempt for a quake game, regardless of the problems this game has (engine, optimization). its still running better than a shitty battlefield (netcode) or PUBG.

not sure why people think that ctf will save quake. It's like sacrifice, however instead of choosing your base, you have to attack the enemy base.
It will be a mess as it was for sacrifice, with anarky and slash to attack (42432 speed, and noone can follow the stream), and the rest in defense.
Could be fun if you play with friends (but most just want to play alone), but for those who play with the matchmaking is always a mess.
For me, unfortunately i have to say, they should put clan arena, all champions with the same life and armor (200-200)...

I think this is the only time I've ever supported the idea of clan arena in a quake game, even though CA was the original killer of TDM/CTF and Duel. QC just still feels meh.

i liked the CA arena hybrid with items that is in UT4
you can also pick spawns before a round as the winning team

I'd much rather see FreezeTag than Clan Arena, it's much more new player friendly while at the same time still actually teaches real quake (picking up weapons, ammo, health, armor) and team play, which makes them much more likely to spend time in other modes as well.

Whereas those that join CA because being given all weapons, ammo and health from spawn is easy, rarely ever want to play other modes.

I'm not anti Clan Arena, and I know a lot of old players are completely hooked on it, I just think FT is much better suited here and it's something I'd rather see first.

Nah CA is the better beginner mode. Spawn with all weapons and equal stack means noobs can experiment with different weapons and find out what works for them, and can not come up with excuses when they die as it's fair playground. In FT they have to wait to get rescued when being fragged (which will happen all the time and could be a big ragequit factor). FT also is in favor of camping where real CA is all about rocketjumping around like a braindead madman all over the place, more fun and more quake. When people die in CA they can spectate the better players and see how they play and maybe learn something or just chat with the other players, the social is a very important part in quake which I think QC fails miserably with and have done since start.

Tldr CA > FT

Except that's just a trap, they never leave CA because everything else is too hard.

I fully agree having to spectate some is a great help to teaching though it's also why I really want spectate options back in all modes, but freezetag should do that too. One of the biggest problems in the QL FT, was sadly spectating while frozen didn't happen because it caused a problem with moving the players frozen bodies. There shouldn't be an issue with that in this engine though.

Alright that sounds better, I'm only familiar with ql FT where waiting to be thawed with an enemy camping behind a corner is half of the gamrplay.

CA is only for those who do not know how to play Quake. Because it is a stupid no-brain game mode that excludes all the original features of Quake and what makes the game to be Quake. Putting CA into Quake is like playing Counter-Strike without bomb plant and no headshots.

Anyone who does not understand a basic thing is as dumb as the game itself.

In your opinion, yes - I enjoy playing CA as well as Duel, different rules, different mechanics, different playstyle

Best beginner mode is FFA. CA teaches only bad habits and nothing about items, powerups and spawn control. You also tend to neglect half of your armory while playing CA - on the other hand, FFA teaches you about the importance of every single weapon.

Everyone who knows how to play Quake knows that FT is way better than CA, and that's a fact. It's like comparing chess with tic-tac-toe (and tic-tac-toe is a lot smarter than the dumbass CA).

CA is a cancer that killed QuakeLive and should not even be considered for Quake Champions.

I'm pretty confident that the cancer that killed QL was ridiculously bad development direction and absurd decisions. I would even argue that CA was and still is a strong aspect that kept/keeps the game alive, without a doubt one of the most popular modes together with ctf. And if it is a fact that FT is better than CA why isn't everyone playing it instead, or are you making up your own facts here?

"Bad development direction and absurd decisions"?? Really? Quote some, so that your argument has credibility, please. For my part, marketing was one of them.

But it would be hypocritical to say that id software did not listen to the community. QL was a game that the company made under the measure for the community at the time. People shouted "Tiiiiiiim !!!" and iD went and fixed/modified what was needed. It was the best classic Quake to date, far better than Q3. And it was totally FREE. Ok, the game was not perfect (Is there a perfect game?), but at the time (2008) they did what was available to them, and for DAMN FREE! And yet the community discarded it (I think the bastards in the community wanted the iD to PAY THEM to play the damn game, it seems). The iD has to do what is right, not what the suckers wants. Do people pay more than $30 to play PUGBullshit or Overshit, and do not even want to pay $ 5 for QC nowadays??

His big mistake is to think that what is popular means being a GOOD THING. Cocaine is popular. Alcoholic drinks are popular as well. Leaving college to party with friends is also popular. Failing to study normally and try to decorate on the last day for a test rather than learning during class is also a quite popular attitude.

CA is popular for anyone who is noob and does not know how to play Quake (or do not want to learn), and this mode limits Quake to be just any dumb generic FPS.

That's why Rapha after 10 years of activity is still the best Quake player out there. If he did not, it would be Cypher. Or Cooller, Toxjq or Av3k. It has almost no competition because there are not many people in the small community willing to really learn how to play Quake and raise the game level.

I don't think so. While CA is the dumb mode, its more popular.

Come to Australia, with our lower population games die here before they die anywhere else. If a game isnt that popular, and has like 5 game modes, we simply dont have the numbers here to fill servers on every mode, and we find ourselves gravitating to wards the most popular mode.

And from that I can easily say what 3 or 4 servers and game modes were most popular, and what was basically not played at all over the last 10 years or so of QL

CA was the most popular mode, it would run all day a few servers full, people literally on server in 4-5 hour stretches. Most playtime for sure

Duel was always running, for the 3 or 4 guys currently online playing it.

FFA filled up in the evenings but people tire of it faster than CA.

FT / Insta / TDM and CTF and whatever else servers basically sit empty, except for the ocassional weekend where it looked like a few hardcore TDM players organsied a game, or just somehow got momentum to fill a server for a few hours.

Incredibly popular game mode caught LIVE on tape.

First up your image does not show a dead game mode (CA), rather it shows a dead game.

Secondly as i write this, On my AU servers there is 1 guy idle on a FFA server, 12 people on a CA server and everything else is completely empty.

Thirdly take the server list and sort it by player count. We could total up the first page of players by most filled servers.

CA: 54 players
FFA : 31 players
FT: 7 players
and a few servers here and there with two people dueling.

FT not looking too popular against CA?

Edit: I think what some of you are saying is: "CA is a dumb/casual stupid mode that sucks players away from the more interesting and skillful modes" I could not agree more. However, statistically, CA is the mode most responsible for keeping the servers active. sad fact of life.

Indeed, it shows a dead game, and you're right about it being statistically the most active game mode in this game right now, but the point of posting that image here is that CA adds nothing to QC. I fail to see anything good coming out of CA addition, no matter how I look at it. It will not make the playerbase grow, it will not help any newcomer to enjoy quake and stay for more, it can never work well with the champions system. And if that's the case, where's the catch? What am I missing here? It's about convincing those 54 players to finally move on and drop QL?

Adding CA to QC is like an admission of defeat: "ok, we've failed at everything. Here, grab your QL 3.0". I'm not excited one bit to play all-ranger, no abilities, 15x15 pub CA on Vale of Pnath. What an amazing active game it will be.

yea i agree for sure the problems with game are not even what modes we have, it much deeper than that.

How exactly is FT new player friendly?
Play 3 seconds, get killed, get bored for 1 minute being frozen, play 3 seconds again... VERY FUN. Basically it's like TDM, but you sit most of the game frozen doing nothing, it doesn't teach anything, it isn't exciting to play, it will just make people rage and delete QC immediately.

I'm sorry but that also applies directly to CA, but instead of frozen, you're dead. Newcomers must play in game modes where they will die a lot but AT LEAST they can play the fucking game. It's way more fun dying 50 times in a ten minute FFA than dying in CA, after 3 seconds, and then spend five fucking minutes watching your smartass tryhard teammates hiding, spamming and sucking at quake. Very fun indeed.

Neither FT or CA sound like a good idea to me, and I'm fairly sure that at least Clan Arena will never be added as a gamemode. The thing about CA being the "cancer that killed Quake" that my friend Leji was talking about boils down to this: In SA, there was a time in QL that you could get games in any mode. FFA was all the rage, I could play 8 hours straight of pure dm and quad carnage. That was when servers where run by ID... then they moved on to the community managed servers... and guess what? Not a single newbie was ever welcomed in the game again. Instead, they were kicked, harassed and bullied out the game, because god forbid they were "ruining" their glorious pub CA 8X8 thunderstruck XD.

The best thing about QC is the mere fact that we're NEVER getting fucking CA bullshit again, simply because of champions. All champs with 200/200? LOL, why pick a tank if you have 200/200 Anarki to hop around? Are you going to change them to the same speed too? Same physics? What a joke, what a mess it would be...


QC just needs to let ppl play the fucking game, no queues, no rounds, no bullcrap. Make Quake Great Again, mofos!

and I'm fairly sure that at least Clan Arena will never be added as a gamemode.

It is confirmed more or less already that CA will in fact be a gamemode in QC.

Welp, can you please give me the source of this statement? Because last time I've checked the only thing about this was "we currently have no plans".

CA was like the EBOLA VIRUS, and it also spread in Brazil (unfortunately you saw it with your own eyes, my friend. I also saw it and it was very sad) and then around the world.

Yeah, CTF won't save CQ at all.

Best bet is to simplify strafe jumping and add more powerful weapons as loadouts. Then add more cards, hats, skins and whatever else makes players happy nowadays.

I know people here don't like to hear this (because nothing says Quake more than strafe jumping). But it will be the downfall for QC.
New players simply don't understand it, and it takes too long to master for new players to bother sticking around for.

QL had it right at some point, by just letting people press jump and gain speed. They also had loadouts right. What they didn't have right was an old, old game that looked even older; with green glowing men, fugly maps and weird colours all over the place.

QC looks like a modern game. Much better chance for success this time around.

Best bet is to simplify strafe jumping

That's already there.

They also had loadouts right.

would have been a more adequate response.

15k real players + 15k bots = ez 30k playerbase

cool queues. that's what people really love about games they might only be mildly interested in.

2K in queue yesterday night at 2100, then you queue again for 20 minutes for a 10 minutes 2v2.

Queue Chempions. Q_Q

My queue was a lot shorter when it had like 600 players. wtf.

+Player numbers seem to have started dropping pretty sharply.

perhaps it waits longer to find players closer in skill to you..

you need a bigger mousepad, that repositioning between 19th and 20th june put a big dent in the otherwise outstanding scientific realization

The daily player peak seems to have stabilized at 4000 players now.

QC can fill a nice gap on the shooter market right now, since OW is less and less about shooting and battle royale games are losing their lustre, even with the big streamers.

you can dislike QC all you want because of champions and lootboxes, but the collectible aspect of the game is a good incentive for the modern gamer to keep playing. new players don't value improving as much, until later when (if) they discover the finer aspects of the game.

anyway, the game improved significantly. there's still plenty to fix and figure out (especially in terms of game modes), but they're heading in the right direction.

5 out of the 8 players in the FFA game were bots last night.
Pretty much stopped playing now and got back into GOLF IRL.

need to spend £800 on a course and £400 on equipment though :( but I should be single figure handicap within the year and the exercise will be awesome.

cool

5 out of the 8 players in the FFA game were bots last night.

With over 5000 people playing at any given time over the last 7 days (peaking at more than twice around 21:00 CEST), I wonder whether this is actual functioning matchmaking working as intended by separating skilled players from babbies (nobody of your level around, can't throw noobs in one game with you, therefore filling with bots), or incompetence at matching (i.e. people of your skill level would be present in your region, but the game doesn't pool you into one match).

There isnt anyone who can match Jamerio's FFA skills. He is just too skilled so MM can just put him together with bots

bots are really weak and artificial ... reaper bot in q1 was much smarter natural than these weak bots ... in ffa they are just canonfodder that distort the result of the ffa and in instagib their aimbot like aim/reaction just around corners becomes frustrating ... remove these fucking bots for skilled players

Pics, or it didn't happen.

you are stopping to play QC every week or so

ouch gg
Quake Champions allegedly contains Redshell SPYWARE

I wasn't playing anymore but gonna uninstall now. Hopefully some players will come back to ql.

haha, those muppets who are crying "uninstalling here".
LOL.

ql is dead.

Sir, you seem to be lost.
Did you want to visit reddit.com?

Try adding that to hosts. Can't do any harm.

0.0.0.0 zww.ero-advertising.com
0.0.0.0 redshell.io
0.0.0.0 api.redshell.io
0.0.0.0 treasuredata.com
0.0.0.0 api.treasuredata.com

So that's the reason of 2 free weeks LOL

Those servers at krispy kreme must be working over time.

not allegedly, mortal emperor made a post on steam confirming that they do contain Redshell :>

interesting that nobody on esreality is talking about the fact that quake champions is bundled with invasive spyware

Allegedly it was also removed around yesterday, june 21th. No wrong: it WILL be removed with the next patch. Until then, a third-party spyware tool by the name of "red shell" is harvesting unknown information from your computer! That's nice!

Holy crap! Huge breach of trust. Very dissappointing.

Thank god some computer savvy users find this shit and make it public, all thanks to them, all HATE to Bethesda/Zenimax/Id!

Btw. I just tested it like someone from reddid suggested:

After running the game I put this in cmd:
ipconfig /displaydns | find /i "redshell"

And sure enough, there was a connection established to redshell.io 20 minutes after launching QC.
