So what do you guys think Any server owner likes so much he would put it on? Looks cool for PS#3

[Marcco7 Profile]

It's seems nice :=)
WAit that are already at PS#3 or?

[Sidor Profile Website]

PS#3 always can new mods faster than others servers

[deep Profile]

ive tryed it bout a week, and its really nice. u can now get hs again

[Plastic_Jesus Profile]

There will be 1.3 soon so I wouldn't put 1.2.9 yet but if you want to test it and put 1.3 when it comes.

-*S

[davies Profile]

aaah, it's lovely

best NQ , on what I read based.

also that grenade with poisening. great
and cvop taking also face:p
and some other technical new work

thx for posting smadle

[Dre_of_chaos Profile]

Fixed a major issue with the weapon spread

yay, only thing i noticed ^^


ps: replace 1.2.7 with this update, thank you :>

[stephan]

if apy gives me the ok its on da way
if deer have nothing against it

[Marcco7 Profile]

Does it running on any server yet?

[stephan]

if you lynch the dear i will apply it to ps3

[Marcco7 Profile]

That would be so nice from you!

[stephan]

convince ninja deer to allow me to update

[Ninjadeer]

as said, kinda feels useless to update to BETA, if there will be 1.3.0 soon out...
but ofc dunno then if it will be soon or not, maybe someone can tell?

[Death Profile]

*lynched ninja*
Go ahead stephan

i'd like to try it, havent read the specs yet but gonna do that now

[stephan]

no i need his head!

[Death Profile]

ah crap -_-

Well ive just posted my Guillotine by mail, but you know how mail is in Finland,
So imo we'll just have to wait for ninja's response when the mailman finally reaches his house in the midle of nowhere

Costs are for receiver (200€)

[warren-the-ape]

Guys, stop slow-chatting please.. This isn't IRC or Xfire

but ofc dunno then if it will be soon or not, maybe someone can tell?

There will at least be a 3rd beta, possibly a 4th. So you can count on another 1-2 months.

[Death Profile]

yeah i know
sorry warren

but what's it gonna be? LD id kllie to know, are we gonna try beta cause i dont think NQ 1.3.0 will be THAT different so maybe its good to first try 1.2.9 before yo take the step to 1.3.0/?

just what i think of it.

like to trye it

[eLemenT Profile]

I would try it.
Also it is a way.. way better version as 1.2.7.
+ you can support developers with bugreports and making final version bugfree.
I don't think you want to wait some months and the final release is full of bugs. They said before the b5 it seems bugfree to them. It wasn't. From my side i would put it on @ PS3 and PS5.
I don't like 1.2.7 too, so i don't like to play on those servers. Even if they might be good ones.

[Diclonius Profile]

From my personal experience that I gathered on another server, I must say that NQ 1.2.9 is a LOT better than NQ 1.2.7.

For some particular reason, the hitboxes and spread felt VERY weird on NQ 1.2.7 and the gameplay felt butchered in general for me. I hadn't experienced any crashes on NQ 1.2.9 and would really recommend it.

[Evil Profile Website]

its time that bowdown make his ass to move and do the same on ps1 getting old and out of date with all these new nq versions .

but if there is nq new version on 1 of our server id love to spend some time to test and see how it works,

[Death Profile]

hmm evil, dont totally agree
NQ 1.2.3 is indeed a bit old but i like it. Atleast i like it a lot more then 1.2.7
I'd first like to try 1.2.9 or 1.3.0 before PS1 changes it to one of these

And i agree with Saevio, hitboxes and gameplay is weird on 1.2.7

hurry ninja!

[Ninjadeer]

There will at least be a 3rd beta, possibly a 4th. So you can count on another 1-2 months.

crap...
well guess we might try out 1.2.9 then ^^

      ** Fix for Venom players keeping all picked up weapons


Hehe, that was pretty funny! Once I've held venom and bazooka at the same time, I was quite surprised (OMG! What's that?!) but felt very strong for this short period, until my character just dropped one of them.

      ** New battle sense 5 skill: Boots with steel toe inside - twice foot kick damage for victims


Ridicolous! I see myself dying kicked by some lame. I think kicking is quite trivial way of fighting, so such thing shouldn't be featured

What about death from above ?

Improved kick damage sounds like a good feature for a funmod
