>>257485113
>Players may now hold jump to continuously jump
Why does this matter at all? You could easily script this before if you wanted it. Maybe not in Quake Live but you always could in Quake 3, who gives a shit.
>Players may now hold forward and jump to ‘bunny hop’
I can't really visualize this making much of a difference. If they mean strafe jump anyway. It takes no skill to learn how to do and once you do it, may as well be holding forward. Again, I see no point.
>Introduced Loadouts, allowing players to select one Primary Weapon (hmg, rl, lg, rg) and one Secondary Weapon (mg, sg, gl, pg)
Again, easily scriptable already. This adds nothing to thegame.
>Added global Ammo Packs
To replace all ammo packs? That's really dumb if so.
>Added in-world item timers for “major” items
I like it
>Items have taller pickup collision boxes
I like it
>Power-up spawn indicators now appear when a power-up has spawned in the arena
Sounds good
>Added new weapon, the Heavy Machinegun to act as a viable primary infinite range hitscan weapon with some but minor spread
Sounds good
>When wielding the Gauntlet, ground movement speed is increased 6.25%.
Sweet dude
Pretty meh changes overall. Couldn't care less. Won't fix the game really. Just change some stupid arbitrary shit, probably piss some vets off. Huge meh.

>Who the fuck is Sponge?
<@sponge> yea well bloodline champions has matchmaking too
<@sponge> and nobody plays that
<[eXodus]> oh so 1 failed game means its bs?
<+ia> otherwise it's just done with local variations
<+ia> which isn't globally accurate
<Fragmaster> ia you only have to do that matrix for the players added
<@sponge> oh so 2 successful games has it that means thats why?
<@sponge> because matchmaking is fucking hard, and you won't get it right the first, second, or third time
<@sponge> and the people playing the game won't give a shit if this is your first matchmaking system
<winz> perhaps it's worth hiring an outside contractor just for it?
<[eXodus]> better not try then
<winz> and with the steam release, it would have been the perfect time to do it
<@sponge> we don't have the time to find someone and bring them up to speed on our systems
<@sponge> we're talking at least 6 months of time from contracting the person to having something shippable
<@sponge> we don't even know who to contract
<@sponge> we don't have a candidate in mind

>>257488491
Matchmaking is cancer. Quake doesn't need more of your cancer tier features implemented. It needs to be more open as that's what built the game into the success it is, not locked into more retarded pseudo competitive features with matchmaking.
More mods, more granular control over settings, more game modes, more maps, less control.
And it's a joke to say they won't include these things because of cheating when they haven't figured out how to stop wallhacking and aimbotting yet.
Never played quake so I'm curious. What do these changes mean for the game?
>>257487465
No, that's mostly a kinaesthetic thing. It feels nicer to press jump each time. Quake has a buffer on jump already, so timing isn't as premium as it is in source engine games.
>>257485113
Oh God, when /v/ was whining about modern games being casual I didn't really pay attention and thought you're just bunch of sad neckbeards crying over video games and if someone doesn't want to waste hours of free time mastering his way with a keyboard and mouse and just wants to enjoy a game then be it.
But Quake? Fuck, now I'm 24 old successful Caucasian male with a well paid job and beautiful girlfriend and am mad as fuck over a video game too.

Robin Williams dies and this faggot is going to casualize Quake. Fuck this day.
>>257488491
Well excuse me for not keeping up with esports faggots. I play Quake with my bros at out LAN parties and over the internet because we love the game and we have been doing it for years but because you love a game doesn't mean you watch esports of it.

>>Players may now hold jump to continuously jump.
Alright, now I don't have to press the jump button constantly
>>Players may now hold forward and jump to ‘bunny hop’, allowing them to slowly gain up to 2x their base movement speed.
Was strafe jumping that hard to learn?
>>When wielding the Gauntlet, ground movement speed is increased 6.25%.
Kinda adds to the strategy I suppose... People will just use the Gauntlet to move around the map faster and then switch to weapons to fight
>>Introduced Loadouts, allowing players to select one Primary Weapon (hmg, rl, lg, rg) and one Secondary Weapon (mg, sg, gl, pg).
Why? Isn't the whole point to memorize the map and item locations?

See above
>>Added in-world item timers for “major” items, including armors, megahealth, power-ups, and medkit. Respawn timers blink once per second, and display one “pie piece” for every 5 seconds that has elapsed.
They're making it too easy

Okay this is okay
>>Power-up spawn indicators now appear when a power-up has spawned in the arena.
They're making it TOO easy
>>Added new weapon, the Heavy Machinegun to act as a viable primary infinite range hitscan weapon with some but minor spread.
About time we have a new weapon to change it up a bit

How in anyway this good? Quake is one of the few FPS games that you need skill now this automatic jumping is just bullshit. The fuck is this "sponge" guy thinking
>>257488350

>The fuck is this "sponge" guy thinking
Low the entry barrier for Steam babies
Alright then.
Let's just wait for the new UT.
Honestly, a super machinegun is not necessary, Just remove all the bullet spread from the normal machinegun and it would do the same job without disrupting the roles of the other weapons.
There's no good reason to have bulletspread in the first place. Why intentionally incorporate random damage spread?
oh wow this is grand. Quake players always come into cs threads and shit them up with how superior quake is and now their game is getting casualized
>>257492217
a lot of projection there
>>257492258
>projection
have you seen the csgo threads
It's like they are intentionally trying to ruin the game.
>>257492217
>>257492356
Reminder that those people probably don't even play Quake and are just baiting you.
>>257490316
I wasn't defending these changes. They're retarded and I'm pretty meh about the whole thing. Only a few of them I like but all of them I'd rather not have. Some of them are literally nothing more than building a script into the game that you could already do in Quake 3
I really don't see the point in most of this. It will piss vets off and not make new players happier.
If they want to bring players back, turn Quake 3 into Quakeworld and provide higher graphical setting options, with better textures and model animations. And full map, mod and config support. I'm not sure how they'd monetize the game past this point. Sell it to Valve and let them sell cosmetics.
>>257489989
>Alright, now I don't have to press the jump button constantly
It teaches new players to time their jumps with their strafe jump switches. Otherwise yeah whatever warsow does it I don't see them bitching.
>Was strafe jumping that hard to learn?
It wasn't hard but it requires active effort. You could practice your strafe jump and use it as an edge over other players at your skill level but now you can't.
>Kinda adds to the strategy I suppose... People will just use the Gauntlet to move around the map faster and then switch to weapons to fight
It's encouraging players to have the wrong weapon out.
>Okay this is okay
This is sort of the one change I'm sort of halfway okay with, only because I keep strafe jumping over the ya and falling into the tele on ztn.
>About time we have a new weapon to change it up a bit
I'd rather hear the rationale on this before I make a decision because at a glance this seems totally pointless.
>>257492217
Anon, no matter how much quake players shitpost it's always been in good humor. It's pretty low to kick someone when they're down like that.
I don't see much quake vs cs shitposting anyway. It's usually just 'why aren't you playing quake live shiggydiggy' nonsense.
>>257492910
>I don't see much quake vs cs shitposting anyway.
>>257488768
anon, what would you think about this in general, not quite pertaining to QL but games in general:
the only servers being dedicated servers, with and without mods, but with the option for dumbfuck players to just click "matchmaking" and choose either stock or modded for random selection, and it would throw you in a random dedicated server?
Of course, server owners could opt-out of being able to be a matchmaking candidate.
>>257493031
Wow it's fucking nothing. Just some cheeky cunt having a giggle.

Down playing when quakers do it, hyping it up when cs players do it. Classic.
>>257493128
>and choose either stock or modded for random selection
That's the problem. You can't select which modded server you join. Matchmaking is esports cancer.
>>257493434
I don't hype up anything, mate. I just see shitposters shitposting and attribute to, this might surprise you so hold on to your hat,shitposters
>>257493410
Can't say I go to csgo threads, I'm sorry for that though.
>>257493638
So classic narcissists behaviour
>>257492217
Like the other guy said they probably don't even play quake and are seeking a reaction. They are probably not here either. Can you let us weep in peace please? Cuz you seem like a troll too right now.
>>257485113
This is going to be added as the default ruleset, but Classic will still exist and will more than likely be played more. Quit being a faggot.
>>257493638
Also must suck balls when cs players know personality types of humans because we must play in a team to compete so you don't even know what I'm talking about :^)
>>257493813
Classic mode will be premium servers only, similar to PQL.
>>257493813
Premium only.
>>257493480
You can have matchmaking and a server browser, you know. Quake Live doesn't even allow mods.
>>257493779
Go read some esreality, it's same behaviour as there. Oh well we can turn a blind eye to it, but it exists whether you like it or not :^)
>quake
nope, worst fanbase in any game i've ever seen
>>257492893
>Sell it to Valve
Plz no, Valve is maximum overjew.
Cosmetics are the cancer killing competitive gaming.
>>257493860
>>257493897
Yeah, and most people who aren't fucking terrible at the game already have premium and won't have any issue with setting up classic servers for people to play on.
>>257493949
The problem is that new players will enter and find the free servers totally empty. It's compounding an already present problem.
>>257493949
>Yeah, and most people who aren't fucking terrible at the game already have premium
So 17 people?
>>257487531
Well I dunno about QL but in CS bunnyhop script is a cheat.
>>257493948
>Cosmetics are the cancer killing competitive gaming
I'd agree but you're talking about Quake Live here, which itself is already a cancerous version of Quake 3, if you cared you wouldn't even be playing QL
The fact is this game needs visibility, money and players and this game has historically had some god tier skinners. Let the community sell skins to monetize the game. Open the game modes and config up so us autists can tinker with and play everything like before.
Quake is Quake again.
>>257492910
>warsow does it I don't see them bitching.

>>257488491

>>257493948
>Cosmetics are the cancer killing competitive gaming.
Cosmetics are the thing fucking growing competitive gaming. The only reason Valve puts on the international is to sell overpriced plushies and digital hats.
>>257494165
Bunny hopping in Quake 3 is simply Strafe Jumping, there's no such thing unless they mean they're entirely changing the physics.
Otherwise this bunny hop change means fuck all as it's already second nature to everyone who still plays. It's about on par with weapons reloading automatically. I can't say I'll like it tho. Needing to press left and right is also kinda satisfying in a way, like driving a car with a manual transmission versus automatic.
>>257494319
Xonotic does it too. No one plays it either.
>>257494506
Bunny hopping =/= strafe jumping
They're not changing the physics but maybe they're changing the values on speed increases. Jumping without using the strafe keys already increases your movement speed in Quake. It's just not as good as strafe jumping.
>>257494506
I thought you lose momentum / speed if you held down the jump button while strafe jumping
>>257494871
If you hold down jump, you just stop jumping. You have to press the jump button again for every jump.
>>257494815
From what I gathered, it was an attempt to make strafe jumping easier for noobs but if that's not the case then it will effectively do the opposite -- make the game faster and harder for noobs. I don't give a shit either way, pointless change to me.
>>257485113
>>257488350
First they give Valve an uncontested monopoly on digital distribution despite the DRM and flimsy lack of ownership which can be revoked at any time and now their notorious retardation results in casualizing quake before it comes to Steam?
Why aren't Valvedrones treated as the subhuman pox on PC gaming that they are?
Hell, the way they argue in favor of one DRM-ridden service over another is like watching Consolegoys defend THEIR shitty platform policies.
>>257495973
>Why aren't Valvedrones treated as the subhuman pox on PC gaming that they are?
One less consolepleb is why.
Once the consoleplebs have been eradicated, the next step is to force the new inductees away from their bad habits and tendencies.

>A little while ago I started a bot match and the max health and armor were 200 instead of 100.
That's how it's meant to be
>>257493948
Im going to expand on my previous point of Cosmetics being bad.
While yes a portion of the money that is made from cosmetics does go to fund events and prizes,
most of it "especially that valve tax" goes to line Gabe's pockets and none of it ever goes to improving the game/ MM servers.
Exploiting the rise in narcissism in our society to generate a player base sounds good on paper.
However those who care enough about how they look to buy and trade virtual items with real money don't really make for the best community now do they?
Just look at how the csgo lounge/item betting has effected the non LAN tournaments, DDOSing a match to protect your bet is so much more rampant.
What makes/made quake so great and last so long was its depth and purity. We dont need to be shitting it up with more "social networking" and degenerate culture.
>>257498247

It's a singular example given of Valve-related idiocy yet you insist on focusing on it like it's some grammatical error.
>>257485113
Good. Maybe this will teach the "pros" (a.k.a. people who aren't having fun) that they can't have a monopoly on fun. Bad players are entitled to win just as often as the good players.
>>257499849
>It's a singular example
Exactly my point. It's a singular example and yet you're using it to generalise on the intelligence of an entire userbase and belittle the design choices of an entire company comprised of several development teams. It's a quote from one man (Greg Coomer) referring to one design decision (the removal of a right handed turn) in one section of one game thanks partially to one playtester (though probably many playtesters).
And you're using that as some sort of pedestal to stand on to say 'look at these valvedrones they're all retarded and every thing valve does is cancerous and a herpa derp derp'.
Playtesters are all retarded because that is the point of playtesters.
>>257500702

I've seen those two images posted dozens of times across the years people have been posting them. They are not evidence and you are not presenting any facts. I'm itching for an internet argument but you're not giving me anything to argue against.
My point however is that playtesters being retarded is not a problem unique to valve. Changing the design of your game due to playtester feedback is not practiced solely by valve. The entire point of playtesters is to get feedback on how to improve your game.
Changing the TOS is shitty but you can't act surprised at that reaction.

Do you start all of your conversations like that? All you've done is tell everyone that you're 14. People want to be good at games. The arena shooter audience doesn't want to just run around shooting people, that's what Call Of duty is for.

for example? i just took a look and it seems like it's mostly just shitty projects with low production values. this obviously means nothing, but if you want to grow a game it needs high production values to draw people (casuals) in. this isn't always the case obviously, but it's mostly the case. a competitive scene is only as good as the size of its pub scene. that's where the talent comes from.
>>257485113
>Will you play it when it comes to Steam?
No, in fact I intend on stopping playing once it hits Steam with these ridiculously ludicrous new changes. Although I might stick around just to tierslum for a bit to make some of these Steam casuals hate the game. None of these changes will stop good players from being able to destroy steam shitters, the only thing that could have prevented that is ranked match-making, which of course they failed to implement.
>>257506823
Nope
Quake has amazing movement, amazing weapon balance, and amazing maps. I really don't see how any other developer can do any of these things better without just straight ripping off how Quake did it.
>>257507019
>but if you want to grow a game it needs high production values to draw people (casuals) in.
Arena shooters don't need high production values. This is what ruined UT3. A small dedicated studio is enough development wise. Now, obviously, a high marketing budget would be really nice.
>>257507019
Toxikk
Reflex
Reborn
UT4
Doom 4 (maybe)
>>257507410
CliffyB's shooter as well.
John Romero is working on a shooter now apparently.

>>257507723
Speaking of which, there was links to a public UT4 beta a while back. Anyone know if this went anywhere?
>>257485113
So many of those completely fuck with the balance, holy shit. That's insanity.
The only good one there is the heavy machinegun, and I sure hope that's 2 damage a shot at fucking most.
>>257507723
No, he has his own studio now and they're making a F2P arena fps, published by Nexon (lel)
>>257507320
>Arena shooters don't need high production values.
i'm really not too sure about that these days. kids these days get drawn into games because of the production values. if it doesn't look like a AAA game then a lot of people won't touch it even if the mechanics and game play is all top notch.
i'm not saying arena fps needs it to be a better game, that's insane, i'm saying it needs it to grow the market.
>>257507410
Toxikk looks like a shitty halo clone
Reflex could definitely be good if it gets a playerbase
Reborn has potential but 2GD appears to have lost interest again
UT4 will be bad because shit movement and gimmicky weapons
Doom 4 will be good if it actually is an arena shooter
>>257507545
Won't be an arena shooter

For the current audience but not for the stream of idiots steam will bring.
>>257507137
Lots of the upcoming games do just take how Quake did it. One of the ones with the most steam, Reflex, is basically a cpma clone at this point.
>>257508653
>One of the ones with the most steam, Reflex, is basically a cpma clone at this point.
It IS a CPMA clone by some guys who were CPMA devs. They even run playmorepromode.com
They're using CPMA as a starting point with their new engine and just making improvements to it and adding modern features.
>>257508998
Your post is agreeing with what I was trying to say.

Reflex just looks like warsow and stuff, just cpma clone. What's it actually trying to do that differentiates it from ioquak3+cpma?

Why the FUCK would they nerf LG but buff both RG and RL?
The game is already dominated by +back rocket spam and peek rails. And a lot of players can't even use LG at all with the current DPS.
Weapon balance in QL is fine but still a step down from VQ3

No kidding. I don't even play Quake and this shit annoys me.
Why casualize Quake, and why Quake Live? Pull a Counter Strike and make a re-release with subtle nuances instead of trying to fix what isn't broken.
>>257509228
It is being developed by the guys that made cpma
>>257507905
Why would you want to grow the market? Look what happened to TF2. Fuck casuals, they never improve, they never learn, they never use teamwork, they don't have the faintest clue whats sportsmanship is, they don't take the games seriously, I'm so sick of good games being ruined by these retards.

DROPPED
>>257513356
Then that's a problem with the market as a whole, you cannot have what made quake a good game in the first place and still be able to attract new players. When was the last time a challenging game came out that actually profited? Casuals have killed video games and it's only going to get worse.
No, I played it when it came out.
Most of them old games are overrated through a combination of nostalgia and impressionable youth.
>>257492064
I dont know about random damage spread, but the point of the bullet spread on the mg is to limit its effective range.
>>257512981
I know, it doesn't change things though.
>>257513771
But MG is supposed to have infinite range, it has a low DPS and requires constant tracking which is hard to do
>>257489136
We told you bro. We tried to warn you.
But really it's not related to the rest of the bitching, this is the fuck up of a single guy who's put in control of something way out of his league without any peers to make sure he doesn't flip out and fuck up.

Casuals jumped on Quake at the time too, since it was your usual grimdark edgy shooter that teenagers liked so much in the 90s. Those who remained on though are just the cantankerous fags with years of experience by now.
>>257514390

Casuals weren't even a thing at that point in time. You did not see your grandmother or dudebros playing doom and quake.

He's mostly right.
Well I mean he's wrong about the first part because Toxikk looks fucked but they're trying too build too much hype when arena shooters are about 'make a good game, don't fuck us over and we'll play it' rather than building up hype.
>>257514908

Why? Because I'm noting the obvious fact, that kids liked Quake and what's left of their fanbase is deluded idiots with far much time spent to figure out why it has fallen into oblivion? Because I'm not discussing this old tripe of a game anymorejust like you?
>>257515569
>that kids liked Quake
says who? your ass?
it was always teenagers.
> what's left of their fanbase is deluded idiots with far much time spent to figure out why it has fallen into oblivion?
We already know why it's fallen into oblivion, because the average gamer today is you. Some dudebro piece of shit who picked up gaming because it's in right now but you don't actually care enough to play anything that has any sort of challenge.
>>257516169
And now, teenagers don't care about your edgy grimdark jumpy and twitchy tripe, but instead prefer tacticool slow as molasses unlock to win tripe. There is nothing wrong, Quake was something hip in it's time, now is a dead horse beaten to a pulp.

If shit sells and lets people play, it wins over rehashing a decade old game with a nonexistent playerbase. No matter what, Quake made its time, and these futile attempts are similar to a middle aged man trying to look young in order to score some fresh pussy, and manage to make himself miserable in the process.
>>257514713
no, but most teenagers back then didn't play video games, let alone PC shooters

That's the point
>>257513771
That could be accomplished far more effectively with range-based damage falloff if you really wanted to limit a weapon's effective range. Also, in the machinegun's case, it would be a good thing if it had a long effective range like the railgun. It could bridge the gap between the railgun and the plasma gun.
Basically, imagine a precise low DPS weapon effective at really long ranges. The MG would easily get out-moded by the lightning gun in the LG's effective range or really by any other weapon up closer, but without the bullet spread it would fill a unique design niche for Quake, as well as doing a little to help prevent matches from snowballing as hard as they do by giving fresh spawns a bit more of a fighting chance. The game gains a new element of strategy, freshly spawned players, like beginners are slightly less sitting ducks, and it doesn't harm any of the other elements of the game because an MG can't compete with any of the other weapons at what they do best.
>>257517514

160 to 140 DPS isn't that big of a nerd. Railgun got nerfed from 100 to 80 per shot which is more significant.
And isn't it easier to hit in QL with the new hit boxes and netcode
I'm really not looking forward to LG getting nerfed to 120 DPS though. Doesn't make sense why they would do this while buffing the RG back to 90 per shot. Fucking idiot devs.
>>257521201
>160 DPS to 140 DPS isn't that big of a deal
It's actually a pretty big deal because lightning gun matches take a bit longer.
The Railgun nerf is much more of a dramatic impact though.
>>257485113
What the actual fuck are they thinking?
So I guess somebody will need to make a new edit of pic related when this happens
>>257485113
Hey remember how fortress forever advertised shit like bunny hopping and holding down the jump button to continuously jump and bunny hop?
Because you know it was clearly intended for everyone to be jumping around the map looking like a flying, crouching dumbass at mach2
Boy that game sure is popular.
... isn't it?
Whoever decided on this shit is a dumbass and probably a fan of fortress forever trying to shoehorn these shitty gameplay mechanics because its so pro and how its meant to be played or some shit like that that the fortress forever retards like to tell themselves.
Sure quake3 does have bunny hopping, but the game didn't do it for you and typically called for shooting a wall or floor with a rocket to propel yourself.
This is just stupid.

I don't get it, if everybody thinks these ideas are terrible then why are they going through with it? Are they too stubborn to admit they were wrong or do they really just not give a fuck about the players, some of whom have been around and loyal for 10-15+ years. I'm lost for words really.
