Just Keeping You Guys Informed �August 3rd � [Ac3]-Drakenon�D5 As I mentioned in my last post, many people have went active and many others switched to inactive. I would like to update you guys again, seeing as even more people went active and there was also much clan movement. Our old D5 q3f leader, shoe, went active in Clockwork Asylum, which was short lived because CwA did not live up to his expectations, nor was it even close to what he expected when he joined. Disappointed, Shoe decided to help out a clan low on members and looking to join 9's so he joined Coup de Grace. Fenris joined BraveHeart, but I think BH had a fallout which is somewhat tragic. Fenris followed his fellow D5 member and also joined Coup de Grace. In other news, another great piper that was missed and was almost lost forever to the evilness known as marriage has returned. No, he didn't get divorced, he just found time around his schedule to start playing Q3F. Xavier is back and in Clockwork Asylum. You will start seeing more and more D5's in matches, as we have dispersed somewhat, and gotten larger from more active members. Again, welcome the great Xavier back to q3f along with the terrible shoe. In all this good news, how could I continue this news post with something bad? Because the q3f dev team is the worst ever. Since my last post, which was a good almost 3 months ago, the development team has not said much. The only information I was able to get was from here-say and backdoor info. To my knowledge all or most of the maps are complete and someone, I will not mention any names, is compiling them for a release soon. All of this is rumored and I truly do not have anything to back this up, however usually my sources are reliable. Fortress Evolution, another mod for Q3A, is in the making as we speak. It is supposed to be a total copy of QWTF which would be wonderful, however, the development team is all EX-MTF players, so I do not know how good the game will be. I think CoreDump has got his internet back, and is pubbing off and on. He uses aliases and I will not reveal them considering he uses aliases to be secretive. To my knowledge he has no plans of returning to the q3f clan scene, so I will leave him inactive until further notice. SUMMARY Want to tryout? Send me demos (crush) Waiting for Q3f2.3? keep waiting it will take a while longer (2 months I predict) Roster? shoe, Xavier -> active Clan changes everywhere except me and TDwG basically --[Ac3]-Drakenon�D5
Major Update!..? �March 23rd � [Ac3]-Drakenon�D5 Much has gone on since the last update on this website. That would make sense, since we are hitting up on almost a year since I updated last, or even since this website has been updated. Not much has happened in the recruiting area, because there have not been that many people worthy that want in our ranks. Although, if you do think you are worthy, and you pipe for a clan (preferably a 9on9 clan, but not required) I would be glad to take your demos and watch them. So if you think you are worthy, come to #det5 on gamesnet and message me (Ac3-Drakenon`d5) and I will see what I can do with regards to (if I think your demos were D5 worthy) getting you a tryout or something of the sort. There have been a few people that have sent me demos however. Crush, from Random New Clan is one of those people. So, if you are interested in trying out just drop by and hopefully I will be around to talk. On to Q3F...A lot has gone on in the Q3F scene. For one, q3f 2.1 was released. A while ago. So was Q3F 2.2... They were somewhat major updates, but they contained very few maps. Supposedly, there is supposed to be a q3f2.3 update that is coming recently, but I have my doubts. The only way to get any information from the development team, is to check the Q3F.Com Forums and even then, I am not sure what's going on really. There has not been an update on the Q3F homepage in almost as long as there hasn't been an update here (okay, maybe not THAT long). Popularity of this mod is lowering daily, but it looks like it is finally steadying out. 2 more pubs were opened recently, making the total number of big pubs to 4 (2 Railbaits and 2 Nexus). STA-Q3F 9on9 looks like it is doing a little better from a few months ago, having 13 clans in the league and possibly 1-2 more joining soon. On to my last topic for the day: The guilds roster. It is updated as of today and there have been a few changes. I took TheSpawn and h0ly out of inactivity seeing as they play q3f now. I would like to welcome ToMMyDwG, from the clan =Silver Dragons=, to the guild. He has known to have just grown his first pubes recently and also pipe the flag really nicely. He has been in the guild for a while now, but I have not updated it since he joined. I would like to give him a warm D5 welcoming. Many people in the guild have went inactive however. inst1nct left shortly after he joined, Xavier left the q3f scene a few months ago, StingraY is in and out of the q3f scene, so I will put him inactive because he hasn't been around for some months, Druidkin left the q3f scene also and again, and Coredump, one of D5's greats, has lost his internet connection when he moved and has not gotten broadband since (to my knowledge). May those 5 be successful in their future endeavors and hopefully I will see them back in Det5. This just in... Shortly after posting this, I had a minor discussion with Fenris, that's right, Fenris, and YES he IS coming back to Q3F really soon. He will be put on the roster now as Active :) SUMMARY Want to tryout? Send me demos Waiting for Q3f2.3? keep waiting it will take a while longer Is the Q3F scene dying/dead? Not really (speculatory) Roster? Xavier, inst1nct, StingraY, Coredump, Druidkin -> Inactive h0ly, TheSpawn, Fenris -> active WELCOME TDWG!!!!! --[Ac3]-Drakenon�D5

Q3F2 and more �April 9th � [Ac3]-Drakenon�D5 Mmmmm.... Q3F2.... This is a total makeover of q3f b1h. It has some good parts to it and some bad parts. The most important part would be the piper. I think he has become a little stronger... The pipes seem to have a slightly larger blast radius which is a plus... The minigunner, flametrooper, and sniper, in my opinion, became a lot stronger in q3f2. With that in mind, the engineer has become a little weaker with the removal of some commands allowing the engy to auto-refill, auto-upgrade, and auto-repair. This brings the engy back to the old wrenching ways. Recon has lost most of its ability to bunnyhop after concs, this has cut the recon down a lot in Q3F2. Many double concs are still possible, but are more challenging, with the conc affects changing somewhat to what QWTF's conc affects were, but a lot smoother. The two main problems of Q3F2 is one, the config mess. Currently its just totally disorganized, and I have been informed the release of Q3F2.1 is soon and it will fix this problem. Also, there is a major FPS problem in q3f2. At first playing the game I noticed the problem. After many different attempted remedies, I finally got my fps back up to pretty high. I have tried many different things such as editing my q3fconfig, editing my q3config, and finally editing my hud. These all helped in raising my FPS. Now, for the Det5 news: Druidkin is back from inactivity in clan ]MP[. Wally is also active currently, but is still looking for a clan. Recruiting has been slow and mainly because I have been very busy and have not been able to view many demos. School for me ends in 3 weeks and at that time I will be able to watch demos and get back to many people who want in D5. --[Ac3]-Drakenon�D5 |
