Maybe they should replace armor and mega with different types of cheese, this might help legit 100%

tbh I thought mega was just a block of blue cheese

so what about the situation where you're guarding the powerup for your teammate that's just stacking up on the recently spawned armour and will be 2s late?

u go away from the powerup spawn and ur teammate can get it?

It's a problem that's been discussed, I've been hoping for a fix every single update.
Same goes for the Quad just appearing on the floor instead of dropping as that often means you can't get to claim your prize after defeating the carrier.

I'm sure it will be resolved at some point, there's just so many other things to work through as well.

It is pretty annoying though, it is for me personally the 2nd most annoying thing after hitboxes which are still not correctly working (flick shotgun doesnt really work for example shots which are pretty much point blank deal only 8 dmg, some rails that should hit still dont hit).
Id should fix these issues first, they need to have a game, which has good gameplay, and only then they should add other additonal features, demos, qtv, etc. ...

I dont know their engine, but I know a bit Unity 3D and I am a Software Developer and tbh. this shouldnt be too hard to implement. This feature is not on the base layer of the engine, its basically a feature that could be programmed in a hobbyist mod ... for someone working there with more than 1 year experience, this feature shouldnt take more than a day to program ... of course there is some QA and testing after that ... but still the feature should be there already ...

I paid for this game like many other people did, and this is quake and not an indie game by some gamedev n00bs, I expect better, the dev team should be proud they are allowed to work on that title and can put this on their resume ... I look at Blizzard and Nintendo, and I see Games which work at their core ... thats the level that you need to aim for man

Play QL, problem solved.

QL is dead first off, and Secondly you have CPMA 1.50 that more people are playing

Ah, you are NA.

secretly NA.

wouldn't surprise me after news of the patch - will probably drop back to 7 players within a week or so

What really grinds my gears is when someone is has a weapon and they pick up the exact same weapon in front of you.

Or when two of the same weapon or two major weapons are next to each other on the floor and you have nothing and they pick both up.

Feels.

its hard to keep an eye on all things in a fps, so I can accept that to a certain degree, but still if someone has a weapon and enough ammo he should leave good weapon to newly spawned players, and tbh. I in QC I never really had the problem that I didnt get a gun so far ...
but seeing someone on the spawnpoint of an armor waiting for it to come up, and then going on his position and trying to steal is a different thing imho. ...but I think this feature should also be implemented for weapons, so if someone is on the weapon spawn and waits for it, he should also get the weapon ...

Fucking snowflake generation

just kick them...

oh wait...

i remember back in quake 3 arena, if someone keep stealing armor or weapon, at the end on the match (sometimes even in play...a long time ago there were always 3-4 people who were spectators, so was easy to replace), he will get kicked...hahaha

They really just need to fix the player collision. If that's done and I'm sitting on an item there is no reason anyone else should be able to pick it up. Currently you can be standing square on the center of an item and it is possible for someone standing next to you to get it. Makes no sense.

Fix the player collision Sabre...you fucknuts

Pretty much sounds like OP wants this. Why you would want to add shit game designs... oh right QC...

It looks like they are trying to break tdm and not to let it be tournament mode. No friendly fire is also bullshit.

I guess the lack of FF is on purpose to be noob friendly, like the lack of fall damage and very low self damage.

What pisses me off though is that you can't damage your buddies but they still block your shots anyway :|

Yeah I get it, it is noob friendly. But considering it is probably most enjoyable mode right now, they should at least add this as an option for custom games.

Amen to that!

They should add friendly fire, and make 5 tk's possible to kick the guilty player. Will reduce spam a lot, especially hng spam on quad on dm6.

Hi Tim Willits

I wanna plus your post but I don't like the idea of any type of zonal preference to longest present player at point of power up..... it's a gentleman's agreement in quake that you see the players on it and respect that it is there's.... unless for example you have quad and 160hp 9armour and you happen to steam by...

Public aswell as practice/tourney tdm games have worked this since day 1 and worked well.... hell even if you run up to your team mate who is waiting at armour and tap your "no item button" or crouch and beg at them they will usually yield and give you the item if they actually have an ounce of quake team play about them...

I want to plus your post but time in area of item is not the way to go...

2v2 tdm test: 15 sec wep respawn time.
2v2 tdm test: friendly fire

...go from there @syncerror - or at least test it with noctis and the internal testers....

That is a really stupid solution to a problem which shouldn't exist in the first place.

1. Players shouldn't be able to occupy the same space.

2. There should be a team overlay so we can see who needs the item / is better trusted with it.

3. Nyx/Anarki/Slash shouldn't drop 2 hp/s when overcharged. I always try to take mega from them because otherwise it's just wasted :) (with team overlay I'd see when they're low, so maybe that's enough)


Point 1 (walking through people) was added by design, I guess to fix shitty map design of this game (you can barely move around without hitting door frames, imagine colliding with everyone else trying to pass those needle eyes!)

However, it causes new problems. 2+ players being able to physically sit inside each other doesn't only affect item pickups. I mostly rage when I'm trying to shoot someone and instead kill myself because, unknowingly, I'm shooting from inside of other player. That's stupid.

On top of that, often you won't pick up item if you just stand on it - you have to move to get it (why is that even a thing?!) This means there's more chance of a passing player to get your item, if you're just sitting there waiting for it to spawn.


PS. Give noobs a pass. We'll teach them ground rules when we get team overlay. Now it just looks like "I want it because I'm better" and you look like an asshole.

I had a game like that yesterday. Killed 500 million niggazx and waited for mega armor (lol)
some fag on my team comes and crouches on the armor and won't move after seeing me waiting there for a while.

I backed up from the armor. Shot my nailgun at him... then left the server.
I leave a lot of servers.

Kind of wish leaving the team would erase your frags from the score.
