This will end well and be fun while it lasts.

Currently Extremely Neutral :[]

You are kind.

*blush*

I was generally favorable until the last announcement because I was expecting closed beta and the NDA to last at least another 3 months. Now no NDA + open beta = alarm bells. Until I see what they deliver on Thursday I'm Generally Neutral.

Generally negative because of lack of communication.

I hear this again and again, same on cs go subreddit. What does this even mean?

I expect them to at least share their views on issues that are brought up a lot on the beta forums. It doesn't take much, a weekly post with some information about what they're working on, what they want people to focus on testing and their views on whats discussed a lot on the forums would be a good start.

Right now it's people posting feedback and complete silence from id/Bethesda.

maybe they're busy working

maybe they're not

there's no way to know. they're not running all their processes by you. :(

Some well thought out communication on their part could solve this dilemma we find ourselves in. If only they cared enough about us to communicate if they are too busy working or not.

what unanswered questions exist in your mind that justify a rating of generally negative? what hasn't been answered by the beta and plethora of video interviews?

what critical piece of information is enabling your gaming anxiety, my friend?

There is a consensus on the beta forums about two topics in particular right now, there are polls on these issues with an overwhelming majority sharing the same view. I agree with these as well.

1) Weapons should not deal more damage when zoomed in, which Railgun and Heavy Machinegun do currently.

2) The Rocket Launcher does not feel good to use in it's current state because it has a delay between when you press fire and when it launches the rocket. Fast twitch rocket jumps in particular suffer because of this.

There are other more important issues to solve in my opinion but these are the ones that have been brought up the most from what I've seen.


It's not the issues themselves that caused my generally negative impression of the beta so far, I expect those from a beta. It's the lack of communication and/or action from id/Bethesda about the issues being brought up and lack of communication in general regarding the beta. I don't expect them to do everything the majority of people on the beta forums agree with but I do think they should address the biggest talking points on the forum regarding the game, whether they agree with them or not.

They've fixed many issues. The patch notes are a way of communication.

And there's no consensus on the zoom part, at all.

Are you sure?

There is a poll on the beta forum showing 86% want it "completely removed" out of 1486 votes.

now I'm going to switch attention to something else since I was wrong

no consensus

Hitler did nothing wrong.

Of course he didn't! He had people to do the dirty work for him.

461 posts by the community manager, there will be a pop quiz tomorrow.

"We'll be posting the latest notes of fixes and changes from the previous test event prior to the servers opening. Going forward, we'll also try to provide more insight into any known issues or design decisions generating confusion." jleaveyBethesda on reddit


"Yup, we'll definitely try to not just wait for our patch notes to fill you in on development and any planned changes etc. We'll also try to make it more clear when we are investigating or looking acting on feedback."

It sounds like they may start communicating more than standard forum moderator posts from now on, that would be great.

I'm F-genderfluid male-negative androxaero hermafroquake bi-neutral

why don't I see this option in the poll?

general insensitivity

did you just assume its gender?

genderal insensitivity

Kill yourself

I've played it and now I couldn't care less

how can u be neutral or positive when your own footsteps's sound delayed and u literally hear your steps 3meter behind urself or when railshot to AFK guy doesn't detected as hit at all.

EXTREMELY HORRIBLE

For me extremely neutral means it will be an okayish casual shooter suited for some smelly ass rape without the need of wearing headphones.
Terribad Quake. Neutral geme.

Haven't played, will wait until the finished product, also no desktop atm :(

Dogshit.

The game has a good basement. Duel is bullshit, though.

More like a good attic.

Quakewatch.

currently:

35 lean negative
34 users lean favourable
19 lean neutral
13 users haven't played / unsure

can this be automated? I like the current options, BTW.

They really messed up by releasing the game without proper working matchmaking. The average skill level is really really low and there are almost no good and even matches when solo queuing. Almost always a landslide to either team and new players probably won't stick around for long.

There are a lot of bugs that needed fixing before going public beta, so they are showing a somewhat broken product to a public that doesn't have any special drawing to arena shooters. My guess is they lose around half of what could have been a potential player base by going open beta way before the game was ready. The game probably needed another 2-3 months of closed beta and bugfixing or possibly longer before being shown to the public. They should have at least fixed the RL lag, server and netcode issues before opening the game up to everyone.

One thing is important. The game has quality enough already in its beta stage, but you gotta find a businessmodel exactly as valve with csgo, that brings you the playerbase that is needed and a elo rank system to make room for beginners, advanced and pro like players and to offer them posssibilities of fun and attraction. then league, lan and high level competition and all good specator options that game needs to be casted is needed and you got it.

And as i saw you are already pushing it in right directions.

i've tried quake champions now. i can't even duel because i haven't earned enough gold coins to buy other champions. the whole champions idea is 100% uninteresting to me, and seems like a drudge/grind to deal with. i'm definitely not paying for any champions or any content in the game.

i played 4 games of deathmatch, it took 5 minutes to figure out that i couldn't play with anarki, even though i could select the character. the play button was unclickable, and i got no feedback about not being able to play with the character i'd selected.
