• Fixed the projectile delay, greatly reducing the latency between firing the weapon and the rocket/nail projectile appearing (image above)
• Reduced frequency of pings in Datacenter Selection UI. This should help players who were seeing no available datacenters, or pings that were too high
• We've made improvements to prevent player disconnects

• Burial Chamber: Fixed an issue where a section of the lava pool wouldn’t cause damage
• Burial Chamber: Fixed an issue where you could get stuck performing a Rocket Jump into a wall in the Side Alcove

In summary: Zoomed HMG now does less dps, but is very accurate, making it less than ideal in the beginning of a fight, but great for finishing off weak opponents.

AP: Our immediate focus is on improving the performance, network code, and stability of the game and implementing our latest gameplay balances. Making the game more responsive improves the quality of play for all players, and it is important to implement our more recent balance adjustments for Champions and weapons before the Quake World Championships qualifiers begin June 29th. While we will continue to update the game and bring improvements throughout the summer, we will want to limit the amount of balance adjustments we make while qualifiers are underway.
Looking beyond this week, two of our largest priorities remain Onboarding and Progress Loops. Our onboarding efforts include additional tutorials, training maps, and UI/UX improvements to build a better user experience for all our future newcomers. The implementation of new progression loops introduces new game systems we’ve designed to keep players coming back throughout the week, every week.
Meanwhile, our art teams are hard at work at generating additional content such as costumes, weapons, and vanities, keeping your loot boxes full of new items to earn, and our animation team is hard at work on… some big surprises.

I would love to play him but next to Scaley and Sorlag he is like 2x easier to hit and his passive is sadly pointless (damage reduction)
AP: Coming soon: Clutch has a new passive, a hydraulic Dodge, as well as a second-stage trigger to his active ability, we call the Plasma Mining Drill. The combination brings some much needed mobility and offense to our power hungry robot. Rejoice.

AP: We have already made several changes to Sacrifice in anticipation of the tournament, and plan on making a few additional improvements before the Quake World Championships. Duel we are continuing to receive feedback and will be making adjustments to the mode as necessary, but in general we don’t want to make many major gameplay changes to modes, Champions, or weapons during the qualifiers. There will be opportunities to consider minor changes between regionals and QuakeCon, but most sweeping changes would follow the tournament.
Given that tournaments will always be a part of Quake’s life, in the future we plan on building that cadence of updates into our tournament schedule, such that we have a preseasons to test changes, and major additions such as new Champions won’t be made available in the immediate tournament seasons.

JB: Quake Champions will indeed be released on Steam. You will still be required to have a linked Bethesda.net account, but users playing the game from Steam will not go through the Bethesda.net launcher. During the current beta period the game will only be available through the Bethesda.net launcher.

TimCon is what happens when you take a simpleton, run an AFPS LAN in his house, and then decide it would be better if there were more than five insufferable cunts in attendance. It’s three days of twenty brave keyboard warriors, from all over the UK (and some from Europe), figuratively locked in a room, playing mostly duels, with all of the heartbreak, trash talk and awkward social interactions that usually entails.

The previous event has near enough unanimously been considered a success, so the formula remains much the same. Warsow, Reflex and Quake Live duel tournaments all make a reappearance.

Here’s a brief taste of TimCon 3, courtesy of Demsix. As well as his day three timelapse.

Last time, the stream left a lot to be desired, TimCon 4’s online segment will see a considerable upgrade. Technical goblins will be on site all hours of the day to bring you a seamless remote TimCon experience on Twitch.tv/ArenaFPS, running for the full 12 hours of each day (12-24 GMT).

In Liverpool city centre, surrounded by restaurants, corner shops and supermarkets. While the venue prohibits alcohol on the premises, there is no short supply of pubs, clubs and off licenses within hobbling distance.

I would also advise those of us who aren't too hungover in the mornings to go out and experience the vast culture that can be found in Liverpool, a truly wonderful city.

We have 20 PCs available for rental each day (12PM-12PM). The cost is £35 per person, making for a total of £105 should you attend for the duration. You cannot bring your own PC. Length of stay is optional, though if it’s less than a day you’ll have to pay the hourly rate of £6 or buy one of their package deals, £15 for 3 hours and a drink or £20 for 5 hours and a drink. If you’re in the area and want to hang out, entrance to the viewing area is free.

While you’re welcome to bring peripherals of your own, those too are on offer for no added cost (Logitech G502 mice, G810 keyboards and G640 headsets). Players can also feel free to bring any HUD/config files they may need.

Reflex, Quake Live and Warsow duel tournaments will be ran officially and streamed. The PCs already have Steam, Origin, Battlenet and all that good stuff installed so feel free to download and play any games you own on these platforms, Horizon also have some games available to play for free.

Anyone who would like to donate to TimConLan prize pools can do so by sending donations via PayPal to crazyal90@gmail.com Please specify your name and how you would like us to use your donation. Thank you.
