Clean hud? I'm sure is a feature that could be added, but not necessary for the game's survival. Sprint shooting has already been fixed and worked on by adding a delay between sprinting and firing your weapon. Regardless of weapon. Already been stated by Matt as a part of the upcoming plans after the engine upgrade. Now I don't know about Matt's decision regarding this as I don't remember if he said anything regarding it, but I find the death theme a rather nice feature of APB, it's a sort of jeer at your enemy. I personally don't like having the option, but I'm sure that plenty of other people will disagree with me. Weapon balance is already something they've said they want to address again, without making a hellfire of the balance. They're planning on rebalancing the whole of consumables, not just removing them. They'd be a great addition to the game if they were to be balanced properly. The "basic" stuff the community wants all varies from group to group in the community what one group will say will contradict the other sometimes. Plenty of people debating even some of the things you stated. If changes occur, you're bound to make some people upset. It's less about what changes you're wanting and more of what you're "okay" with. It's where you compromise with differing styles and methods of play.

One of the biggest things in the game is team work, even if you're playing with randoms, you should at least communicate or coordinate some sort of plan. Knowing your environment, and opposition, as well as your teammates is why you make choices on your weapons at the beginning, or only once/twice per mission. If your team and you are all swapping weapons in excess of three times a mission, you're probably not planning well for any mission at all. More often than not, I've found my missions requiring me to spawn my car, or repair it afterwards anyways, or right before one too. If you're already knowledgeable about the map, and the gun game- then you should know what to walk into a gun fight with, as well as where you can resupply/stockup before another mission. Me too mate - but I've found that if you even try to start communicating with your teammates, they'll try to communicate back. At least some semblance of teamwork is better than non. In addition to that- when you're playing a mission, and "wait for opp" most of the time, you're at the end of a stage, else you're starting a new one. Stop by a car spawn or ammo supply between objectives, or you spawn as close to one as you can. There's more than enough around the map.

Little Orbit doing nothing in 1year other than adding Guns.
magik replied to Weeqs's topic in General Discussion Archive
I wouldn't inherently count events as nothing, but not as "something". They've brought some new events that were fun, but a couple of other missteps. The biggest thing for players is the engine update, and further improvements and development. Little Orbit's issues, as with much of the industry, are time and deadlines. Hopefully soon the upgrade will come. -
Looking back on this, I see a lot of valid points with reference to a toxic community. I detest dethreaters just as much as the next guy, however, I will admit that a time ago I have dethreated. I try to play in the silver district as I'm silver again, but it's becoming increasingly hard to remain in silver when the population keeps dropping. In addition, I've also taken a break from the game even though my semester at uni is done, work has had me drained. However, I think the assumption that the gold players are exclusively guiding the game is incorrect, though not farfetched, especially evident by the effects and criticisms of Riot's release. Little Orbit did, in what appears to be most of our opinions, release Riot too early and underdeveloped. If the game removed the threat locked districts, and returned the non-visible threat "open conflict" districts with match making patched in, you could at least have a better opportunity of players at least having matches that would suffice to say reduce many players' need to dethreat.

FBW firing mechanic is bad for the game.
magik replied to Havana's topic in General Discussion Archive
A vacuum of brain cells, interesting. Gotta go put this in my research, I found the cure to cancer - fail at using the FBW. -
"Are we there yet?" Probably a couple more hours... maybe a day. Patience there young padawan.

Approx how many left? -
I feel like at this point, those have already been drained too. Oh well, let's go again.

meh, I give 6/10

We're coming up on just shy of half that. I think given another day, and we'll be back... I will probably be eating my words in a day.

The FBW isn't a good starter gun? The original starter gun was the Colby SNR... you know, that six shot revolver, where you died if you didn't hit 3 or 4 rounds. In addition to that, you have the Obeya 762, Joker SR15, and others that all have a "rhythmic mechanic" as you described. What is wrong with having a learning curve in the game that doens't allow you to merely mash your mouse1? Games should require a level of skill. Anyone can master the basic mechanics with enough time and effort. The FBW is the jack-of-all-trades of sidearms in the game in my opinion, it's got good range, without being over powered, and having a long effective range, and the rate of fire is comparable to the nano. K? -
Revert the assault rifle changes G1 applied
magik replied to KyoukiDotExe's topic in General Discussion Archive
Ah, I miss the days I could easily faceshoot someone with an obeya at .5m -
I've saved up a bunch of three day premium codes for occasions like these. Until I'm gonna play for a while, I just use them.

Moirai used to be a good car, but they nerfed it from being an AWD vehicle to RWD, which halved the torque. Please make it awd again, because the reverse gearing is garbage. On top of that, a lower tier vehicle, from which the Moirai should be an upgrade from: Dolton Broadwing. The Moirai should be returned to it's old state (at least for the drivetrain) imo, Cisco has too low health for a top tier car, it needs a slight buff. The mid tier vehicles, Kurai, Moirai, T-25 could use a slight, just a slight health/armor buff. I think the post-starter cars ($15k vehicles) could remain where they are at for now until the higher tiers get balanced. Boost the Montane's carry capacity. The thing's a dang pickup, much more cargo space than any van could hold, it's storage (a bed) is not constrained by the vertical element like the Ceresco. The Han Veos, and both Macchina cars could use a sort of buff, but I'm not too keen on how to improve them without making them too much better than the other vehicles.

Advanced APB Launcher preserves config file settings. Whenever you have to update the game, just run the APB launcher through the advanced launcher, then open the settings tab, it then automatically updates the settings that you changed. When you finish, just play the game. Pretty easy way to preserve settings. My GPU is no longer a potato, so default launcher has been sufficient for me. Although, I probably could go back, and reduce the smoke settings through the advanced launcher to keep the damn fire and nades from short changing my fps by 10-15 frames.

Force Russian players onto Nekrova
magik replied to LazyLizard's topic in General Discussion Archive
If the dead horse hasn't been beaten enough times. Russia is a State. Russian is a Nationality. The majority of people living in Russia, are Caucasian. Hence, a xenophobic statement, not a racist statement. *sidenote* Caucasian is derived from the region of the world the Caucasus Mountains, where the states: Russia Azerbaijan Armenia - my familial ethnic background, woohoo Georgia I forgot the name of the European guy, but he deemed the physical traits of the region's people to be ideal, and thus gave us the idea that Caucasian people are White European people. Hence, why many questionnaires equate Caucasian to being White - even though the two are from differing regions of the world. */sidenote* -
I don't really lease weapons... I have enough from my loyalty purchases of vehicle kits and premium that I no longer care for premium, or weapons purchases. However, the rare occasion I need an osmaw, I usually idle around $400k on my crim, soooo I just get a 10 day lease, and then keep playing... haven't really gone below 400k by much...
