@@napukapu Well if it's a new account with no cosmetic or champions unlocked I'd say sure go for it. If not, there's a few things you can do to try to find games more easily: - sslect as many servers as you can, within reasonable latency of course. NA and EU tend to be most populated region, so if you are able to select those you can increase your chances - don't play ranked for a while. This should cause ranking decay so your rank will kinda soft reset, at least to my understanding. - meanwhile you can use discord or just ask around global chat or reddit to look for people to play with. If you want you can add me in game, just send a message or something and I'm down for some games.

4:55 Don't jump right away here, or else you'd have chance to get knocked off by rail. In this case I had a lot of stack, so I can afford to take the rail. Can be countered if Pred12 pushes with LG or rocket instead. I do have orb and can choose to orb to the heavy to secure the item.

Saber messed up the netcode (it was fine in beta but it was too heavy for release) and its why all the top end players left, 2 years after that they said they fixed it. (Rockets would outsnipe railguns in MS and land before they were suppossed to and things like that) and the game completely died, they let it die, didn't add ANY of the community notes they begged for. I wish it could have been different, quake should not have gone out like this.

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! A duel buddy of mine started uploading his QC vods a while back, which made me decide to put up some vods to my own games. Just wanted to get some exposure for the game, and maybe help some bronze duel players get an idea of how to improve their game and get to the silver ranks, which is about where I'm at for now. Duel, while at times frustrating, is still a fun experience. I've personally been watching some old vods of Quake Live duels and montages, and just watching the ways the pros move around, take fights, and make decisions is fun. The whole process is a form of art in a way.

haha thanks, but it's definitely my fault. 2nd to last frag that was probably a bad spot to stand at. My read was wrong, and I stood too much in the open. In the case of the final frag when we both went for heavy, the SSG is just a risky weapon. In a way I was lucky to get one last skirmish to attempt a tying frag, but sadly fumbled that.
@SleepyRickyC922 ай бұрын
On the subject of "what to do to win", tbh I'm not too good at that either considering I lost here, so take my advice with a grain of salt. That said, I remember watching a video a while back by Av3k on his Endpoint Quake channel, which unfortunately I forgot the name and can't find the specific video. In that video he covered some high level concepts and also the mentality of Rapha and Cypher. Basically, IIRC, Av3k said Rapha thinks about what he needs to do to win, while Cypher says that he thinks about what he needs to do not to lose. Both are perfectly valid approaches imo, but perhaps one is more active vs reactive. I think the challenge of duels, besides the aiming aspect, is emotion control and basically all the other stuff related to decision making. In Av3k's video he mentioned the idea of "openess", or how you are positioning to take a fight. IIRC he gave a specific example about trying to do rail damage on the heavy on Blood Covenant. Like you want to not play too openly, basically try to not be easy to hit. This can mean if you are waiting for mega or heavy to spawn, you're positioning yourself so you show the least amount of your model, or you are positioning yourself in a way that allows you to retreat or take cover if opponent attacks. Obviously timing, positioning, spawn knowledge, stack estimation are all factors. Things like after a fight, how stacked are you vs opponent, where to stand so you are less likely to take damage, or do you have a fall back? With timing, it's like after a fight, do you have time to go for a certain item? If you use audio, you hear opponent take item somewhere, does that open up space for you to grab another item? Something like that. Sometimes you can't be too greedy and try to grab everything, and sometimes you might not have enough stack to risk contesting a major item that is spawning. Then you have to think if you contest now, maybe that swings the control away? There is a lot of stuff to consider, and the better you time items and can gauge all the information on the map, the better your decision making should be, theoretically speaking.
@SleepyRickyC922 ай бұрын
Sorry about audio. Since it came out badly, I'll cover some things I've talked about here in the comments instead. Initially I was surprised that Pred12 showed up at Mega. Since I had a close spawn, I assumed he spawned near heavy and b-lined to mega. It's a gamble, and since I got it, it puts him at a bad spot, because he likely didn't grab heavy and that now is up for grabs. Now I probably should have rushed heavy and took control, but I made mistake and decided to go bubbles to get rid of acid. Rest is kind of just weaving and dodging and trying to do chip damage. I'm not too good at counting stack of opponent, so I probably missed opportunities to push. Pred12 was aware that I was setting up rocket traps on light armours, so props to him for that. Also without a rail, the HMG is kind of an important weapon to prioritize. A lot of high ranked players will look for any opportunity to get untraded damage at range. So if you don't have a HMG and someone else does, you are at a disadvantage for a long range fight. The mega and heavy timings were largely unchanged, at least for awhile, and I think we both had a good idea of their spawn times. Pred does have to watch out for rockets, like the one he ate going thru the door from nail room to mega room. In that scenario it was a bit of luck and timing, since I knew he was in nail room and we both were making a race to mega. He had to try to beat the rocket thru the door (be faster), or delay going thru the door by listening for a sec. That or he had to go through other routes. Basically, playing around a guy like me who spams defensive rockets, you have to be cautious.

That said, I understand that high ping players sometimes can't help it like you said, because they can't find games in their region. In that case I hope you can ignore the mean and rude comments and play on. I recently whined to a guy after I lost, but then I apologized later because to be honest I was just looking for an excuse. Lag affects both players, and if I was the better player, I could have overcome the minor annoyances of lag.

Is this game live now? And free? Reminds me of ut2k4
@SleepyRickyC924 ай бұрын
Yes it is free on Steam, and it's called Quake Champions. Quake is quite similar to UT, both being probably the largest 2 AFPS franchises during the 90s to the early 2000s. There are few differences though: -no dodge button for Quake, but you have a unique skill-based movement system with the game's physics and acceleration calculation, with the most basic application referred to as strafe jumping. -Weapons are similar, but also slightly different (I believe UT has guns with alternative firing modes, Quake has just one firing mode for every gun). It's worth checking out if you like AFPS like UT. Just keep in mind that initially most characters will be locked, and you will have to slowly unlock them by earning in-game currency (the red shard thing). That said the grind shouldn't be too bad, and honestly none of the characters have abilities that I would consider too OP for normal play. It's not like Overwatch where some characters are hard-counters to other characters, or some characters can't do anything without others; this is still very much an AFPS where you run to the guns you want and stack up on your health and armour, then you have a chance at winning.
