The title keeps surprising me, but I honestly hope they reconsider their presence on Steam, that alone could torpedo any chance of success the game has. Discoverability is huge and I'm not installing another bloody client.The matchmaker and the skill algorithm behind the scenes are key here. Assuming critical mass of players. No multiplayer game can honestly survive today if new players can't get shuffled into new player safe spaces. Games with extremely high skill ceilings without a matchmaker are destined to die these days, its just a requirement.
More than anything Quake Champions should be the first well supported arena shooter that can shuttle newbies through the ranks to god tier. I hope the player base is stable enough to keep it populated. I wish it was on Steam and not inside Bethesda's launcher.
I never played Q4 for a second, Q3/Qlive very very sporadically, and I detested Q2's anemic rockets. I'm pooping on people with more or less my Q1 skills resurrect, its really super satisfying when the announcer calls you a Rocket Launcher God. Only the Aspie Quakelords you mention above kick my shit in, but at least I can hang around in those games.
Blizzard is at least tolerable since everybody plays something from them and their teething phase with Bnet ID and region lock bullshit is mostly over. It's unintrusive and works.Nowadays publisher do not want share revenues with steam anymore, so they go with there own shitty launcher, like here for Q champion. Look at Destiny PC, not on steam but Blizzard.net...
I'm having the same situation - did you ever get yours?I got a beta code today but can't remember my Bethesda login and the reset email never gets sent. So fuck I guess.
