It seems arena shooters are pretty much dead? I thought QC would be an instant hit and totally crush Lawbreakers. But the numbers are pretty bad. Lawbreakers got 3000 players immediately at release. Quake was at 1072 peak. Right now there are 338 playing Lawbreakers and 434 Quake Champions. Of course there are some people still playing through the bethesda launcher, but I doubt that many stick to that crap.
Of course they didn't even fix some major problems like the stutterings. I had stuttering problems in the beta and stopped playing it around April or May. The loading times wre also ridiculous. It took me around 8 minutes to get into a match. Now it is 4 months later and nothing has changed. People want quick games, no matter if it's early access or not. I mean look at PUBG. It's pretty easy to jump in. Start the game, click on play and you're immediately in a game. Nobody wants to wait 3 - 5 Minutes getting into a match in QC.
Overall I requested a refund now. I'm not willing to give Bethesda my money and wait that the hopefully fix their game one day. Once they fixed it, they get my money... but under this circumstances? Simply no.
Commander Keen a possible new character?
This looks like the DOOM multiplayer. But without a fun singleplayer campaign.

I like it so far, but the que times are killing it for me. Waiting 3-4 mins for a game then when you get one, not everyone readies up and you get connection timed out, bleh. Ill try to play later at a better time and not 3 am pst.
Which skills do you think he'd have? Pogo Stick and a stun gun?I joked about Commander Keen being a character in private when Doomguy was announced.
Gimme that shit.
rockets seem better but there's still the odd zero damage one, the nailgun however is still a complete piece of shit, get rid of it or the tri bolt and bring back the plasma!

It's way, way, waaaaaaay better than Doom's multiplayer. Not even a comparison.
Yeah it is but only at the moment. Beta players can play ftp but only through bethesda launcher. Eventually everyone could play ftp when it releases.Is F2P only for people who were in the beta? trying to play with a friend
Both QC and LawBreakers suffer from a lack of bots. People can scoff at having bots in a competitive shooter, but I spend TONS of hours playing q3a and UT 99/04 against bots. Learn the maps, learn the weapons, etc. Cant believe a feature that was standard over 10 years ago isnt available at all now, but I guess its hard to make AI for more complex game types?
But this, this feels like Quake. I know the whole champion + ability thing can be a bit of a turn-off, but it ain't so bad IMO. Not to mention there will be a time where you can remove the ability and character differences to just make it straight up Quake multiplayer, at least from what I remember from interviews.
Uh, is this a 「 JOJO」 reference?
Did anyone else notice that they really toned down the gore? Characters ragdoll more often than exploding into gibs.
seriously. doom marine?, wtfOkay, this is cool. I didn't know there was a paid version; I thought you could only 'rent' characters and that was it. I'm into this.
But
Doomguy.

I can't use the Tri-bolt at all. Is it for direct damage or is it supposed to be used as grenade launcher? I suck with the thing.
Is there a classic gamemode without the champion stuff?
I've got a relatively large amount of time in this game and I've concluded that the tri-bolt just sucks. You can use it to fire at pickups and narrow corridors but if your opponent is even remotely close to the thing you're trying to prevent them from using/going through then they're just going to get through before the explosions go off anyway.I can't use the Tri-bolt at all.

Yeah, this is the type of thing that will drive hordes of people from the game if they can't offer a better new player experience.I was hoping that because the game asks you your skill level at launch that they had implemented some kind of skill-based matchmaking.
...It would seem that that's not the case.
