I honestly think this. As a doom eternal slayer v slayer intermediate, the thing that mostly draws back players is the relative low ttk that pros and intermediate have and the pace of the game. Quake and arenas wouldn't be this dead if they had a newbie friendly mode with higher ttk, or rather, they would be slower in terms of movement, and slowly help you push forward to the competitive game.
Also one thing about aim in Quake is that targets are moving, and moving pretty fast and rather unpredictable. Relative movement and pre-aim is helping a lot, because it's easier see where target will be next frame and flick to it knowing, where it is moving, instead of 90 degree every frame.
Only played 2.5 hours of this game back in 2016 and barely got any achievements. I return today and quit after 1.5 hours trying to learn basic movement. Apex Legends movement is fine but trying to learn this is absolute mental torture for me.
It's 2023 and I'm just starting to learn Quake 3 Arena/Live/Champions now with the help of your videos. So NO it's not that "no one gives a crap about your content".
Thank you so much for the kind words. I don't stream often anymore and have stopped playing Quake. But if you want to hang out and watch me play chess or little indie games. I always appreciate some company. www.twitch.tv/lepharia is the link :)
ive been researching quake and i do not regret coming across your videos whatsoever! very relaxing and informational, hope your current aspirations are going well!
You are a godsend. I just went back to Q3A and forgot a lot that I learned from actual people on servers back in the day. Nobody had videos like this, so you had to just play and hope to run into somebody who will teach you. haha Is this map available for Q3A? I can't buy QL for a while. And what is the name of this map?
Thanks! I'm not familiar with Q3A but you access this map in QL through the training or by /map qzpractice2. Maybe this helps, sorry I can't give you more info.
7:40 if you really wanna skip all the boring bits. At least that's what others have said and what I've put in the description. Or ignore the video all together cause it's shit and honestly who even plays Quake Live in 2021 anymore anyway?
Using your Quake Live tutorials to get into Quake Live. With Quake having the remastered version now on Steam, Halo Infinite coming up and the success of the Doom titles I really think there is a demand for something more than shitty CoD and Battlefield every other year. I hope you're fine and just want to let you know that your videos are awesome and helpful!
well shit if people were getting kicked 5 years ago... explains why im getting kicked from games now.. kinda sucks i actually played quake 2 back in the day.. but i guess since i didn't keep playing it for 25 years.. im a shitter
The white deck with the correct cards is a really good strategy to win this too, you just need enough pacifism cards, two raise the alarm cards and two crusader of Odric creatures to win the game!
you said your sensitivity but didn't mention your dpi (sorry if you already mentioned it in another video just started watching some of your series :) )
Thank you that's very kind. I don't think people would enjoy watching the games I play nowadays. But I might get back into streaming some day, who knows.
Just wanted to say this guide is very useful! Just started playing QL in 2021 Of course i already watched the other movement guides, helpful as this one
Hey I have my RMB for jumping as well! wow is something I think I read in a pc magazine about a guy who won a 1996 quake tournament and revealed his config... so I've been using that same config in every fps since haha crazy!
Yes that works and is what I would recommend for a new player. That mechanic was put in after I made the video though and since I was already used to it I did it that way
people say aim isnt as important in Quake but it takes far less raw practice to learn maps and movement than it does to master flick shots and all that, so I would expect the good aimers to know how to control the map as well. Of course if you're new, movemnet and especially map knowledge will get you much farther than just focusing on aim, but eventually you're going to have to master aim as well, unless you are an extremely good strategist when it comes to controlling the map and predicting your opponent. A good tip for beginners aside from just practicing (which is still the most important advice), is to always keep your cross-hairs as close as you can to a possible target. Meaning, even if there's no enemy in view, keep your crosshairs around upper torso level and keep them aimed towards doorways and paths that you expect the enemy to be coming from. For instance if you're entering a doorway and you know the enemy could be coming towards you from the right, you should already be aiming to the right as you enter the doorway, rather than waiting for a visual queue and then reacting. I'd say 80% of good aiming is good pre-aiming, its a lot eaiser to hit the target when you only have to move your mouse a few centimetres when reacting, rather than halfway across your mouse pad.
I had played Q3 in 2000 during my studies.I had a 350MHz PC with 8MB Graphics Ram (people from germany know very well the so called ALDI PC)...I could play it only on the lowest graphic settings and thought always that this kind of jump is only possible with the right equipment...Maybe that was good at that time for me because thats maybe the reason that I could end my studies successfully :)...its funny but most of the good Quake Players which were at the same university did not made it as they have played all the nights....Just a short flashback 😁 You are explaining it very good and Im getting a nice feeling to install Q3 again on my PC after 20years :). Great Video, nice job man! Is there any possibility to capture also your mouse movements? I know we see the cross however it would be helpful to see how big and fast the mouse movements must be.
Just found out about your channel and I love your content. Sucks that you stopped uploading. Would love to see more from you. And from what I've read, so do more people. Hope you have fun doing whatever you're doing right now. Take care. :D
Sometimes it's useful when you're moving towards an objective but want to pressure and opponent that's pursuing you for example. It happens sometimes that you end up between your destination and the enemy. I did it in this video to 1) show off and 2) show that it's not as difficult as people say once you get it down =)
СПАСИБО ОГРОМНОЕ. БЛАГОДАРЯ ТЕБЕ Я ПОНЯЛ, ЧТО ВОВРЕМЯ CIRCLE JUMP НУЖНО БЫЛО ПЕРЕД 1-М ПРЫЖКОМ НАБРАТЬ 400 UPS, А НА 2-М ПРЫЖКЕ НАБРАТЬ БОЛЬШЕ 450 UPS. БЛАГОДАРЯ ТЕБЕ Я ПОНЯЛ, ЧТО НЕ МОГ Я ЭТОГО СДЕЛАТЬ ТОЛЬКО ИЗ-ЗА МАЛЕНЬКОЙ ЧУВСТВИТЕЛЬНОСТИ У МЫШИ - Я ОЧЕНЬ МЕДЛЕННО ВЕЛ ВЗГЛЯД ВБОК, НАБИРАЯ ВСЕГО 400-430 UPS. Я ВСЕ ЭТО ПОНЯЛ И СО 2-ОЙ ПОПЫТКИ ДОПРЫГНУЛ ДО ЭТОГО ЕБУЧЕГО РЕЙЛГАНА. Я ТАК СЧАСТЛИВ, БОЖЕ. С МЕНЯ ЛАЙК И ПОДПИСКА.
I should attempt to make a video on it again. If you can 180 on your mouse back and forth to center a few times your mouse is set to attempt this. Also try to mouse 360 to center. You are doing 45° turns sometimes at 22 1/2° from standing still. So if you jump in pie you will get covered in pie. Plasma pies. Something like that. Its hard to splain.
