Available only in Custom Game, Time Limit Duel is a a roundless time limit-based duel mode

Does this mean no match making for this mode?

yeah, the only way to play it is adding people to custom lobby. another great decision by the top men at id software..

Tim Willits has been on fire lately.

Tim works in mysterious ways. Who are we to question His will?!

Unfortunately, only figuratively

Hopefully literally.

I know I give QC a lot of shit but this update contains EXACTLY what I wanted to hear:

Reported backtick in ENEMY`S PICK fixed to ENEMY'S PICK

backtick in ENEMY`S PICK fixed to ENEMY'S PICK

3 months work

Logged into steam this morning to find out the whole game directory was suddenly empty. How is this even possible? Have to download 22+ gb for a bunch of lore items now and cvar/cfg changes.

Why would anyone even bother download that crap?

Reduced hitbox size. facepalm i can barely see this models, 2x model size 2x hitboxes.

They only reduced the hitbox size on the big champs.

People hit higher accuracies in this Quake than previous Quakes, so they are probably too big.

the last time i played qc which was like half a year ago, player models where tiny and there was some kind of triangle above them, either removal that triangle or increase visibility of those models cause it looks stupid as fuck to fix visibility issues with triangles floating above every player. a better way would have been to either add more light to models or add aura effect that would blend with model, rather than basically a red arrow above their head which defeats the purpose of looking at the player model altogether to read the direction of their movement etc.

They have enemy outlines now (and for a while now), and you can set the colour of those. Yellow seems to work pretty well.

I should add also that you need to set those outline to be turned on ALWAYS. By default, they only turn on due to attack.

nice, did they actually move development back to id team, cause those saber guys in russia are dumbasses.

I'm not sure whether that was ever officially confirmed. I think there was just some Saber artist saying that was the case, and it probably is given that patches are coming out less frequently now.

yeah i heard that too, i think it would take time to fix all the crap that those monkeys coded into the engine if that's the case. i think all lags and stuff is solely their fault.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the coding was almost entirely done by Saber.

How in the FUCK is it even possible for a patch that contains literally no more than 2 lines of code to weight 22 giga-bytes?!?!?

Damn, Tim Willits, Sponge and Adam Pyle must have Aphrodite-tier of cock sucking skills to keep getting paid for this. And it ain't minimum wage pay either.

Seriously, the execs at bethesda must have a thing for bald men that look and sound mentally challenged. The male version of dumb bimbo and milf rolled into one.

What a fucking shitshow. And let's not even start about the new "battle pass".

I think they use some kind of compression or encryption on the files that works such that if even one byte of the original file is changed, the whole file that you get changes.

I think they're a bit like Apple with their updates: "Everyone has fast internet now, so just replace everything every time."

getting the battlepass is not worth it tbh xD

new maps? when?
MAPS?!?!?!!

Why do you need a map? Are you lost?

Mad world...

giving a fuck about qc in 2019 xD i mean, its been a great shitshow for the last two years, but let it die already.

amen

while QC is an abandoned game, I will continue to play it for now ...
there are some really good maps, blood covenant, awoken, ruins of sarnath, corrupted keep, the other maps blood run and molten falls are still good, and tempest shrine and church of azatoth are also still valid maps ...
I think the balance fixes are okay, true the battlepass items are a joke though, but overall QC is still a good game and I actually like abilities, if done right and most abilities are okay ... it could be better, but what can you do ... :-) its still not bad, in table tennis and table soccer you also dont complain that there is no new content ... there is just no better game around imho., I will not play Fortnite/Apex or some tactical shooter ... and diabotical, at first I was open to the concept of eggbots, but from what I have seen now in first video, I dont really know anymore ... anyway my pc right now runs QC most of the time fluid and the gameplay experience overall is still the best out there, no game on the market can give that to me, rocket launcher, lightning gung, complex movement and fast paced game and respawning ... and players to play with :-) (hey reflex) ... the best step by bethesda would be to open source the game and give server executables to players, there would still be some valid potential :-)

you sure you didnt wanna post that here:

I know it is trendy and cool to shit on QC, but there's some fair points in there, and it's just a personal experience of the game after all. Or do you need to be copy-pasted into the thread of shame for saying you actually enjoyed yourself while playing it---even if it is true. :D

I don't mind loading it up for a few games every now and then. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for QL. The "vibe" it used to have just isn't there now, and it's mostly just CA.

If there were nothing good in QC, and it were just 100% shit, no one would even look at it or talk about it. They'd just not play it.

And if QL were perfect, they would just be playing that, and they'd be completely satisfied so they wouldn't need to talk about QC.

They complain about QC because they like it just enough to play it and then get annoyed by its problems.

no game on the market can give that to me, rocket launcher, lightning gung, complex movement and fast paced game and respawning ... and players to play with

This is basically it. The other Quakes and Quake clones that can give you this have far fewer players, and that's because more people think QC is more enjoyable for them than the alternatives.

I daresay a lot of people these days get more enjoyment from complaining about Quake than playing Quake.

the best step by bethesda would be to open source the game and give server executables to players, there would still be some valid potential

Sadly, I just don't see this happening. The game has a shelf life, but that makes it like most online games out there today.

Post all you want to post in Sanchez thread.

Also *Drk is raped* is good choice.

True

They complain about QC because they like it just enough to play it and then get annoyed by its problems.

Well, they complain, because of the unused potential and the minimal work that is happening in patches, they expected so much more, but I think people realize now that id is not anymore putting any effort into the game ...

I daresay a lot of people these days get more enjoyment from complaining about Quake than playing Quake.

I am not sure if there are a lot of people, but there are surly some people on reddit who have not even played 30 matches in that game and are really only subbed to spread hate

Sadly, I just don't see this happening. The game has a shelf life, but that makes it like most online games out there today.

Yeah, bethesda has not really a history with open source, and them filing a lawsuit against J.C. carmack just to rip him off doesnt really make them a "good" company on the outside that has high morales and cares for the gamers ...

Bring the diaperslaps for this man and lets treat his mental disease that he got from having sex with sponge / syncerror by treating him with good ol quake 4 100-0 duels.

Leave the diaperslaps to me, oke?

Diaper man are you gonna take this duty to correct the sinful ways of qc gay lovers.

Its the question of quake world survival.

i always deliver and live up to my name. im up for some more diaper content.

i dont get the other replies, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
despite all the issues, the game is still fun and there are enough people around to find games quickly. im going to continue playing it until there is a better alternative.

this update and the new battlepass are still a joke though

There's a lot of complaining, but Europeans have got it pretty good with 30-60 seconds wait for a match. That's a dream here.

Dont know about 30secs, I remember waiting for 30 mins on qdeomn acc finding no match, when it found on 45mins mark, the people saw me and left server, I had a choice of playing with bots or another queue simulator.

Probably your party SR was too high.

Sounds like it was over 9000, even rapha not searching this long living in much less populated place.

The real question I ask, though, is why when I'm playing TDM against bots, do I have two wait over 2 minutes between games (I timed it), skipping as many screens as possible, including 40 seconds "searching for a match".

Is the practice mode preparing me for the matchmaking experience too? :D

Dont question modern technologies.

Maybe they can add a new feature: send you an SMS when it finds a match. :D

Right, because soon it will take 24h to find a game in qc.

At this point whoever still plays this game should be questioned by doctors.

My rule of thumb is that if it requires fucking around outside of the game itself to get a decent match (stage 1 game death), then that's more effort than I'm willing to make these days.

So in Australia, your choices are more or less QL CA or QC.

I play very little anyway, and even God himself tried QC. :D

lol I didnt really play it.
Was just fooling around.

I had to install several programs to make qc work without freeze lags every 3-5secs.

Mouse input lag is still killing my aim in the game. I barely hitted anything. ;D

I might even load into it once a month or two just to troll, but never considered playing it. It leaves a very bad taste.

I want a hot all girls team called "The BJ's"

"Max speed decreased from 680 to 625 ups
Injection Speed Boost reduced from 816 to 700 ups
Friction 8 to 6
Ordinal Acceleration 15 to 10
Wishspeed from 35 to 30
Circle Strafe Friction 12 to 8 "


Aw shit, here we go again

Changing numbers back and forth.

No surprises. It was predicted it would be this way as soon as the champions concept was announced, before anyone had even played the game.

Its not that such a game could not work if the sufficient brain was in charge, but when it comes to balancing combat mechanics in a game like that, you need someone who can create rules to follow or you end up with a shit fest which doesn't work.

The game we all wanted was SF2 (pure) and we ended with Mortal Kombat (gimmick).
And worse of all, it run like shit for 2 years so the bad was amplified.

Are you saying Sync has insufficient brain? Tsk tsk.

Are you saying he has brain?

Are you suggesting he is a robot? It's possible! :D

Did you watch hellsing ova?

Many references could be found.

I don't think I did.

I think alucard power limiters are one of the best examples of God Sanchez % Ability Limiters.

Nope, just a general theory that these games could work with the right people behind them. QC was more than SyncError, and many of its problems were technical which has nothing to do with any of the designers.

But you would need to be a combat specialist to do it because you would need to see all the variables before you made the game.

QC was not a success to its fans because they had some of the highest FPS standards, but if they can sell the engine and concept to other ips like capcom, they could come out of it smiling because the majority of the players of those games are casual FPS players.

QC with their characters would work.

I would straight up buy Street Fighter Champions right now, playing ryu and guile in an FPS world, with special moves, backgrounds, music I'd shit my pants for that.

I agree that Quake with characters can work.

It's not pure Quake, but I think pure Quake is a bit like a skateboard. It's just a board with some wheels. It's really simple. In the old days, it was enough. There's all these cool tricks you can do that take a lot of skill and are hard to master, but most people won't bother with all that, so they will want more bits added to it.

Games probably need more bits added these days to keep people interested.

The only question is whether a properly developed and marketed pure Quake game can still be a success.

Aw shit, here we go again
