I'd like to think a proper matchmaking is must-have.
Also, different champions and their characteristics seem like a very natural development towards more team based gameplay. I'm not sure how it would all come together in a smart way, but I'm fairly sure they've put quite a bit thought into potential team aspects.
Wait a few months and they'll include a "push the payload" mode.

How nice I got a beta key. Shame that QL is P2Play now, can't access my old config haha .
This will be fun! Servers start in 40 min!
Why no Grenade launcher.... ;(

Friendly reminder to people in the closed beta that you are under NDA. Talking about the game, including talking about being in the beta is a violation of the agreement you signed when you installed the game.

NDA lifts on 12.05. This also marks the start of open beta.
|
All I wish for in a team shooter is that Freeze tag would be a well established (and even competitive) game mode, a game mode I've learnt to play in Q3A 1.16. Too bad there was never any interest in it other than the "local" servers.

Watching Cypher play anything Quake and i am a happy man. The duel seems really bad for anything competitive but it is an easy way for people to get into it and play a few games. Playing a 10 minute game where you are killed in spawns while your enemy runs the map and you have no idea what is going on is a guaranteed way for people to never try duel again.

Haha I used to play Clan arena and Free for all all the time in QL but only tried Duel once cause it was so damn hard  .

Watching Fatal1ty play Quake on Twitch feels weeeeird, old-school and modern come together
|
With the NDA over lots of people are playing (and streaming) the beta, I really gotta find time to sit down with it for a bit now.

So is there a server browser in this thing?
The whole trueskill matchmaker thing was an evolution that happened through consoles and annoyed me because it kills so much feeling of community that I used to have with old Quake games (and going all the way through to TF2, I suppose, though I never played that game.)
I miss people running their own servers with their own rules.

Yo. So, the thing is I received a beta key, the beta test period begins May 12th at 10:00AM EDT and runs until May 21st at 4:00PM EDT.
However, I can't take part in this. I want to share the key and the bethesda.net account I made. Please, whoever wants to play the game, pm me and I will give you the details. I will give the key to the first guy that sends me pm. If I don't forget to, I will edit this post when I do so no more people PM me... If I forget, well then, I am a retard sometimes so, yeah...
I really badly wanted to play but my time is arranged in other things. I want someone serious to have the key and play the shit out of this beta.
Quake brings torrents of fond memories to me and I will play the complete game for sure.

Sadly i think that era of gaming is gone, or mostly gone. I agree it used to be amazing and it had a real sense of community. Not to mention all the IRC shenanigans :D.
Everyone wants their fancy matchmaking nowdays which totally kills the community feeling.
Anyone remember fragomatix for ra3? :>

1v1 seems kind of broken, someone can just take a 1 kill lead, then just hide for the rest of the round. The levels are big enough to where i have been unable to find someone who is hiding in some random corner, which in turn loses me the game. very frustrating, think ill stick to TDM.

If you're new to quake, Duel is extremely difficult
For a start you need to learn to be able to move really fast around the map - top players know all the maps and timings inside out, as well as being able to strafejump very efficiently around the map to get to the places they need to be
It's not a good mode to start off if you want to learn the game

idk about anyone else but i have super bad performance in QC, even playing at a 4:3 aspect ratio.. also, the game crashes whenever i change graphics settings? i'm assuming it's an isolated issue because all the streams look way better than how my game looks.. i can run the new doom maxed at like 200fps but i get 30fps and stuttering in QC..
from a gameplay perspective, the gunplay feels okay.. it just feels really cluttered when you kill someone or get an assist and all these awards/medals/experience points pop up.. minor complaint but definitely something i noticed (and an issue that i had with SC2 when it introduced an xp popup whenever you killed an enemy unit lol.
I haven't tried out many of the abilities yet, but it's pretty disorienting when enemies all have different HP pools/base speed/max acceleration speeds/hitbox sizes..
all-in-all, other than the technical issues that i faced, playing it just made me want to play quake 3 lol. for me personally the only thing that QC has on QL or Q3 is graphics maybe, but then again i also like the Q3 approach of just having walls be straight up primary colors on lowest settings. it just feels super noisy. also, it's full of unit barks be it the announcer or your player character spouting the same lines every 2 seconds

I understand 1v1 is hard, im fine with that, but someone can just frag you 1st, then hide in a corner for the rest of the round. Which is exactly what happend to me, got killed 1st, the dude was hiding somewhere on the map and i couldnt find him, lost the round. next round we play "straight up" and i win the round, we are now 1-1. Last round, he gets 1st frag, and starts hiding again, I can't find him, round is over, i lose the match 2-1. There's no skill required there, we were 1-1, then he found a corner where i couldnt see him, and won by waiting for 3 mins while i ran around trying to sniff him out.
I dont mind losing to someone who is better than me in a straight up 1v1, thats cool with me, but when its just abusing the big maps and how the rounds work, its a bunch of bullshit.

While that sounds like something really frustrating and cheesy to play against you will start to realize if you play around a bit more and learn more about rapid movement and map control these kind of issues you're describing kind of don't happen, like, at all.
Duel is a very fun but complex and difficult game mode to learn. TD and FFA are better for a more casual approach .
That being said, I really suck at Duel hehe.... Really miss Clan Arena. Pls Id, bring that back.
