Anyone here at Q3W who's maybe in the know :D know what's happening in the world of Quake Champions?

I've stuck with it for seemingly years in the hope it really might come to fruition and we'd see a great game but today, disappointment again :tear:

For those that follow an explanation: I logged into the game like I do most days, know they have weekly (12) and daily challenges you can do for points :smirk: I truly expected after this 12 week countdown there would be an update. Maybe I was 24 hours early or more likely they were 24 hours late in pushing the update whatever it is, forward.

New content and bug fixes here

Maybe it's because I'm in Europe but I'm having a real hard time finding matches (DM mostly). Matchingmaking goes on for 5 minutes or so before I give up. I tried different times during the day, but it doesn't help. I also don't care about new Champions, I want new maps that use something else than the same old cathedral texture set.

It's a shame too, because despite all the hate, I really like it. I just wish they would get rid of all the cosmetic lootbox crap. It feels so out of place in a title as this.

I am with you Infernis :up: I too have difficulty in finding matches with human players so mostly do 'bot match' and I would dearly like some new maps, any would be welcome :)

You have the region set I suppose? The globe icon right of center at the bottom :)

Nonono. I live in civilized part of the world. You live in Northern America, that's a difference ;)

There hasn't been any substantial updates since last year, and they have a skeleton crew working on it. For a live service game that doesn't allow modding i don't think it's long for this world unless they shift focus into it after doom?

It’s done. They didn’t even mentioned it past E3.

Shame really, there hasn't been a shooter out there as good as Q3A was. The strafe jumping mechanics made that game the legend it was. I'd love to see a large scale Quake style battle royal though, I bet that'd be fun if the performance was there.

Didn't they have 64-player maps in Quake 2? I would assume that by today's standards that would work fine.

The problem is that no one wants to play it :-\
