I'd try it, but it really doesn't matter at this point. Especially if it's only for a weekend. Probably not even worth it unless it's up for acouple weeks or so.
2 or 3 days to feel it out, won't be enough. You would need more like 2 or 3 weeks.

i agree with X-prez. i think 2 to 3 weeks might be a little long the super players would be even harder to kill lol

Ramoth said "Actually because of the habit of wanting to limit XP and confine certain classes, I think it would be wasted on this server, honestly But it is mega fun!"
I thought its selling point was the ability to tweak more or restrict more?
friday to monday would be 4 days and would give you a taste of our version of no quarter ( using our rules ) and ( our settings ). But I do love our etpro the way it is.

Give me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Disabled 2K

Well, there's a reason not to do it! j/k Rammy.
I'll try anything, once. Can I still steal FC's pants?
BTW I've already seen Bea Arthur nekkid. It's not a pretty sight... [ edited May 29 2007 : 16:58 ]

I've played it.. It is a nice change from the everyday etpro... The gun changes are nice and the HIT BOXES are more real (maybe just me but as of late the boxes have become.....how shal we say.. distant, from what they should be). Just my 2 cents which amounts to a hill of nothing. So do what you want.

Well, if nothing else, this mod will crush the you-know-whats:

Although, I like it because of the shotgun and the Venom, the prime choice for a habitual stand-up MGer. Also, return of the Goomba! And there will be no need for a No /kill rule, I believe it does have a "scared people to death" option. [ edited May 30 2007 : 14:47 ]

Might be nice for a change but I don't feel strongly one way or the other. If people want to try it out, sure.

It possibly is pretty customizable, I've not adminned it. But letting meds only get 3 out of 4 levels is bad enough. Letting them have 3 out of 9 is really harsh. For me, a lot of the fun in NQ is the neat things you can do when you get to higher levels (i.e. level 9 medic can then do CPR no matter what other class they play; high enough level field op can refill empty ammo racks, etc). SO my thinking is that if you take away all the higher levels, what's the point? other than, of course, goomba-ing the snot out of drake and swiss.

I say about a weeks worth of playing is enough to Test-Drive the new mod on the C.B. Would be nice to try something new.

Been playing a lot of NQ on...another server.
It's utterly quacktastic and actually rewards people for things they do, rather than things they steal.
For example, building the bridge on Fuel Dump, the engy accrues xp for every bit of his engy charge that goes into the construction. So if he dies and someone else comes along and finishes it, the first engy doesn't miss out on the XP.
I like that.

Wow, these results couldn't be more inconclusive if you tried!
Personally, I'm on the fence...

Ya Fr3ak, I knew that was going to cause confusion. That answer looks like such a positive thing, people didn't realize that they were actually voting "NO" to the poll question, they just saw "nekkid" and "Bea and her posse" and they went nuts voting for that choice.
Perhaps it would have been better if I had put "HaB" in place of "Bea". Then I know we'd have only gotten one vote (Mama)...unless there are closet Nekkid-Hab fans out there.

Maybe they just 'really' like ET Pro.
I'd love CB to give this a go because I think us players who aren't as good as everyone else get a chance to close the gap somewhat.

Now if this were to go ahead it would take some work to get the server up and running and stable which could mean closing the server for at most 1 day while everything is ironed out and tested etc.
This means it would most likely take place on a weekend as this is really the only time most of the admins would have to make all the changes.
So therefore it would probably have to happen maybe on a saturday and then taken off the following weekend (again making sure everything is stable and running ok)
Please bare in mind that this isn't a simple thing to do as installing a skin as there are other considerations to take into account.. like banning Usagi's jokes

Perhaps people don't want to change from ETPRO and see it as the pure game they like to play (yeah I know, it's a mod like NQ).
Also they may see this a precursor to having the community split in NQ and ETPRO factions *cough* HKF *cough*

The whole point of restricting medics was because the rambo medics who do NOTHING but frag drove players away. These setting work for this server whether you like them or not.

It is worth a try, but most of us won't be earning enough xp in any particular skill in a 10 map campaign for it to make much difference. It could bring back the uber meds, since they might actually gain enough light weapons and battle sense to make use of the extra levels.

Been playing NQ off and on for some time now, its a nice change and fun to play. Some new weapons and medics are not as important for healing since other classes can heal teammates, and always liked being able to pick up med packs or ammo after gibbing a medic or fo. You will not find many of the selfish self serving stat based players on the NQ servers, thats a nice change in itself.

I think most NQ servers use a 24-hour XP save.
And as I hinted at earlier, XP comes MUCH faster in NQ because everything you do that makes a positive contribution to the team is rewarded with XP.
I can play on the bucket for 2 hours and maybe get 600 xp if I'm lucky. On a NQ server I'd be pushing towards three times that.

No need to get pissy at me. I'm just saying much of what NQ is would be lost so maybe it's not worth your time to mess with. I'm not even one of the 'rambo' medics. I never use adren, but I like getting the larger med paks and the cpr in NQ.
