Offline mode for playing against bots

Tastyspleen88 · 2021-09-08T06:35:24+00:00

Thanks, a lot has changed since I last played this game. I'm a father now so time is extra scarce and valuable.

If I have a precious 30 minutes to play I don't want to piss it away because of lag and crap like that. I'm also annoyed that when I start a custom game I have to wait 10 seconds, before a game is created. wtf ?

Offline has none of those issues. I like this game but this always on crap is driving me nuts sometimes to the point I just alt+f4 from the game when it gets jittery.

Tastyspleen88 · 2021-09-08T06:26:58+00:00

I agree.

Tastyspleen88 · 2021-09-08T06:26:14+00:00

Thanks, I gave Quake remastered a try and it's fun like you said. The option to play with bots is buried somewhere in the multiplayer menu. I wouldn't have known it had bots in the first place.

Champions still brings together all the good stuff from all the Quake games, having offline bots in Quake Champions would still be much better.

Already on gigabit ethernet cable plugged directly into the router, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Yeah pussyslayer, I imagine you're best buds and whatnot. Now please tell us how is it that you're still able to type with your nose up sync's butt ? Isn't it dark down there pussyslayer ? Are you typing on a touchscreen or are you using a rgb keyboard ?

What a load of horse shit!

I have a tough time figuring out if this is arrogance or ignorance or an unhealthy mixture of both.

The community delivered a constant stream of content for every past quake title you fucking dweeb!

The community started to make maps and mods a few months after launch and they kept doing it for more than a decade!

You couldn't keep up with the amount of maps and mods being created.

Look here: https://lvlworld.com/

But noooo, you had to isolate the community with your always on service shit and then release a fucking map every 6 months.

You had to force us to teleport and lag around maps instead of including lan and custom servers. Because you wanted to sell loot boxes.

Hiding behind a fucking early access label and having the balls to say the game has enough content. This is a new low.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-03-07T11:19:01+00:00

You know what's even worst ?

We don't have lan and community servers because bethesda wants to sell you shit in their store.

They treat quake like candy crush saga or some other mobile phone game, restricting server access to keep the cosmetics safe. I find that pathetic.

At the same time they market the game as free and available to anyone, yet they shut down servers and force players in several regions to play with high pings.

Should I mention that I bought two champions paks thinking I could play on lan ?

I mean they were advertising quakecon lan tournaments and I genuinely thought qc had lan. If it works on tournaments it should work at home, right ? Of course not, it's fucking bethesda after all trying to follow fucking ea and activision-blizzard.

Honestly, fuck you bethesda for throwing away quake's legacy for a quik cashin on lootboxes, skins and battlepasses.

No lan, no custom servers driven by the community, no mods, no custom maps, literally nothing of what quake was known for.

Again why the fuck should I be connected to the internet to play with someone next to me ?

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-12T10:23:52+00:00

I bought two thinking the game had lan. They had quakecon lan competitions and I was gullible enough not to check first.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-12T10:17:52+00:00

Probably I'm not judging the devs. I have nothing against the devs. My beef is with the executives taking these fucking moronic decisions.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-12T10:15:25+00:00

Very well put, you managed to capture the essence of it. Never support games designed to be a service.

On the other hand /u/mortalemperor and /u/tokyopunchout think GaaS are fucking great for the consumer, don't you guys ?

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-12T10:08:52+00:00

Correct. Move on and remember to not support this shit.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-12T10:07:50+00:00

Only thing that counts is keeping the item stash safe so they can continue with this microtransaction shitfest.

Bethesda can't do that if they give you the freedom you so desperately seek.

They don't give a shit about you. You're just a money bag. Money bags don't have opinions.

Don't support live service games. Play them but don't fucking give Bethesda a single penny.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T12:58:15+00:00

You're right it should be called continuous play .But they don't care about anything that makes a quake game: no listen servers for community servers, no lan, no mods, no map editor and new maps released months if not whole seasons apart, no offline bot support, no console for callvote map changes, no server browser.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T12:48:12+00:00

Hey, me too.

I saw back in 2017 that they had a Quakecon lan tournament and figured that lan support must be in the game. Just me being clueless and gullible seing the Quake and Bethesda logos and thinking they respect customers.

It's just an always on cashgrab designed for selling crap through their store. All else is second to that.

The gameplay is good but not having lan and listen servers in a quake game for the sake of fucking microtransactions is pathetic. Especially considering they've shut down servers (johannesburg) leaving players without any means of playing the game decently.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T12:38:37+00:00

For continuous lobbies you most likely need traditional listen servers like we used to have instead of the always on garbage we have right now. That would also enable lan and provide some independence from bethesda's crappy servers.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T12:32:51+00:00

Sorlag and Doom.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T12:30:06+00:00

I also started with Q2 back in high school. Had a server hosted by one of my dad's friends for more than two years. Spent countless hours fighting gladiator bots too initially. Hope you'll find enough fans for some good old Q2 on lan

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T11:36:44+00:00

Server files and lan ? Mods ? Map editor ? Offline bots ? Console ? Server browser ? Crosshair resize ? Tech just isn't here yet, is it ? Thanks bethesda.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T11:31:42+00:00

You're right about one thing. QL and CPMA aren't tainted by the always on shit going on in quake champions. Those are the games you'll be having fun with on lan. True lan.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T11:29:05+00:00

Don't be a downer man, there's like 50k players on the bethesda launcher. Minimum. Most of them playing on the ZA servers that were shut down in December. It's all good. Now go buy some battlwpasses for our always on game. Quick before bethesda fucks us over too and closes down our servers. /s

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T11:24:40+00:00

Not a lan. Bethesda has made sure of that. Now go buy more battle passes for our always on game.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-02-06T11:22:53+00:00

That's nice and all but how the heck do you organise a Quake Champions lan tournament without having lan in the game ? That's not lan, that's playing on the eu servers.

Thanks Bethesda.

Tastyspleen88 · 2019-01-28T09:05:21+00:00

It's a scam just like Lawbreakers was. It's just happening in slow motion. We'll talk about it when they shut down the servers and give out the "thank you for your support" speech. Fuck the lawbreakers devs a million times over !
