  1. If you can tell me where I called you a PMG or NTEC user, then you would have had a point, but I neither said you used PMG nor NTEC. You're the one making drama, I simply said that most people prefer lazy easy guns over most other weapons that can be just as good, simply because they don't want to put in the little extra effort. This was NOT a personal attack on you, but an observation on APB's playerbase in general, if you missed the "most" in the post as well, I clearly didn't say "all". You clearly seem to think I have a bone to pick with you for some reason, might I suggest not being so self centered? - See now "that" was a personal "attack".
  2. they still do, not anyone's but your own fault for not using them. The only "crappy" f2p guns are the NFAS, arguably DMR, and LTL, aside from pistols. But most guns take more effort than the NTEC and PMG so people prefer not to use them.
  3. FAR - Considered better than the NTEC by a number of players, but NTEC is still seen as a more viable option at times because more people have one. Overall I think FAR would win, at least until this patch. SNR - Yeah this was dumb Obir - Needed the bolt timer agree Manic - It's used by several, i had used it a bit while leveling pointman. It needed a jump shooting nerf and possibly an accuracy or something nerf (I guess they increased ttk) so i'm not necessarilly opposed to this. It's not very seen because it was part of a pack where it was considered the only decent gun in. Act 44 - Weird change im not in support of it. RSA - Yeah this was still a wierd thing, especially since they seem to have further increased its TTK via fire rate interval change - so it's still going to be like trash tier, but i hope im wrong. It's because the whiney crims and they didn't want to nerf perc stamina damage. They should increase the range to 15-20m and give it 2 shots with a 1.05tts now that they effectively gimped it by every standard.
  4. I've upvoted people i didn't like and downvoted people i liked simply because of the opinion. Mostly though, if they posted something stupid I downvoted. ^,.,^
  5. Game balance was crap even back then, just saying. The only difference is that you had other more broken ARMAS guns (looks at scout and csg) to compensate. Problems against an OCA? Just use a csg, 2-3 hit at 15m with barely any chance to hit the guy. Problems with enemies and cover? Perfect accuracy jump scout. Problems with joker carbine? Just use a carbine NTEC was good all around PMG got buffed? Cool use it only since OCA "sucks now" Use FBW because every other pistol in game sucked (at least now there's FBW, fr0g, and .45, and even that assortment kinda sucks) STAR needed buffed back then, and the only did after they added the FAR. And yes, people did complain NTEC was OP back then, the difference is you had 6-15 people in district chat name call and silence the guy. They didn't rework guns based on the crappy ARMAS guns they added either. In fact a great deal of "NEW" armas weapons were straight up broke. pre-nerf nano, C2, ATAC ring a bell? They did add crappy ones like the Cobr-a, and Thor series later on, but the initial weapons were bonkers. I dont know what game you played back then, but it surely wasn't APB, balance was crap back then, and it had a LOT of useless weapons laying around.
  6. Should have just called them scrub golds who are scared of bronzes with HVR's.
  7. A player has 1000 life total. You "can" use 85 to represent life % damage like 85% life damage, however 850 damage is the actual damage amount.
  8. Been perm gold since 2014, they do it for easier matches, tis all. Though I have several friends who are low gold high silver, who fluctuate a lot with a lot of hours.
  9. Manic was a bit too strong, though i do agree it could have just used an accuracy nerf instead. C2 should have less accuracy, and honestly, it's always been considered worse than the OCA and PMG, so we'll probably see more OCA's than C2's anyways.
  10. Dude, people complain about HVR having 850 life damage, people complain that concs do high life damage, people complain that explosives kill in 1 hit. Nerfing stun grenades which are rarely used is a bad idea, ontop of the fact that at 850 people would still complain about them because it's less than lethal and people hate sitting around waiting to die. Look at the pig, 1 shot 850/900 stamina damage, people complained and it got nerfed because percussions, and instead of nerfing perc stamina damage, they nerfed the pig. Go figure.
  11. Basically you self destruct with a satchelcharge near a vehicle (shoot it or something to kill an enemy and oneself) and spawn with one that's invisible with no guns in hand until you fire to drop it. This started happening with the most recentish update which modified consumables. To reproduce 1. Place satchel charge 2. Shoot it causing suicide near a vehicle within, i dont know 4-6 seconds. 3. Spawn with it in hand invisible, you can hear it beeping, and can move around, it seems to blow prematurely. I'm unsure if it causes self damage or destroys anything. I've reproduced this multiple times in mission, and once out of mission.
  12. They could just "track" inputs in the game to determine macros, but the chances that is happening i think is slim.
  13. Nope, I've seen plenty of people say they do it and don't believe they'll be banned, others say LO isn't serious about banning people using macro, and that none would be banned for it. I've never seen or heard of anyone being banned for it either. I use a Razer mouse and have the software on my pc, i've never had any issues. I just can't have AHK for PoE trade macro or it won't let me start the game because it blocks any access if AHK is running. But it's still on my PC - no issues. Do I have a macro set to any buttons at the moment? No but I easily can. There's more to the story than that guy is leading on to, as many others who do use razer mouse software/hardware, still make use of the software without issues, I've been playing multiple times a week since May with Razer software running in the background with no issues, often forgetting Matt's "be warned you likely will want to exit the mouse software" warning. You'd think i'd be banned just for using Razer Synapse by now from his post. His issue is "Autoit" after some digging, BE is kicking him for it, but he says he doesn't have autoit, and others have issues getting kicked saying the same. Also, it's "kicking" him, it's not "banning" him.
  14. Yet I haven't heard of nor seen a single macro user banned? Yeah its bannable, but I have yet to hear of anyone actually taking the "banning" of it seriously, as no-one has been banned for it to anyone's knowledge.
  15. The vast majority of those I said cheated have been banned though? You act like spotting a bot is hard. Isn't that the point? No one can tell, you get a free off, while you have perfect accuracy for tap firing without any effort? Suddenly you're just a "skilled player" who people think is legit, when you're just a macro scrub. I mean, you can remove recoil through macros as well, but you know, perfect fire recovery is STILL a major boon at midrange for ntec, even if you don't "remove bloom".
  16. You can however set a macro to fire at the perfect rof for accuracy vs bloom recovery.
  17. 1. If it'll be added or go somewhere? Yes 2. - still play so n/a- 3. I don't think we need more "mission" districts, but anarchy map control would be good imo. Mass location/dm/objectives join. Still looking good though.
  18. Show me where there's a competitive mode, competitive clan wars, and competitive matches that have no interference from others. I'll wait. Pretty much. It's like putting a greenhorn shooter against expert shooter and the expert winning and saying "look guys, i'm competitive!"
  19. I think you severely underestimate the difference between most "pvp" games and APB. MOST PVP games separate people based on similar skill level, APB does not. Most PVP games have hundreds to thousands in a server to pick from, APB does not. Pretending that it's insulting that you "play a match or two casually" when facing new players, is pathetic. Acting like it's garbage to not go 30+ kills against new players IS trash. People don't learn how to play when you're doing that, especially when half the enemy team is doing it and coordinating for it. No-one is saying "don't play at all against new players", they're saying, take it easy and don't pub stomp them into oblivion. Pretending that people learn when being unable to do anything, let alone flank is ignorant. Not only that but i've seen plenty of people suggest and actually do FARMING on new players for kills, by inflating the length of the mission by letting them get the objective then continually massacring them. But that's just "normal playstle" for them against newbies. We can keep having these discussions but last I checked it's always been the Gold threat players who have consistently been causing problems for the majority of the playerbase and causing players to leave, and I'll lump dethreaters in with them because many are actually gold threat that dethreat intentionally for ez kills. And the playerbase shot itself in the foot to kill it
  20. I mean, its an exploit so yeah its a "dirty trick". Others would be spawn hunting, using explosives without any need to (no vehicle mission or not a camping location), and such. But they are more "cheap gameplay tactics". I'd say running as well in certain missions, because running with a car surf osmaw as VIP/medium item hold while in a vegas pushed pio is pretty fucking dirty against new players. I don't want newbies carried, however I expect them to not be abused by assholes who force them to quit and uninstall within 3 hours of playing. You don't "need" to do certain tactics to win against new players, by any stretch of the imagination, and if you feel it's necessary then you're a scrub. APB's community needs to learn "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". But seeing as how it's been unregulated for years, its no wonder the population has died out. --------------------- Though its funny to see you talk Moto, because back when your group would intentionally back off and allow the objective to be taken against newer players to farm them for kills getting 40+ kills a mission.
  21. One could easily argue both. Tho I wasn't talking about gold players in groups, simply players who treat newbies as vets and play the exact same and do the same dirty tricks to win against vets, to newbies. But if the boot fits... well the boot fits.
  22. There were a number of players who thought the ISSR had too much hard damage, and it had been mentioned in different posts on forums for almost a year. It didn't get the attention by people on topics like the NTEC, HVR, or PMG, but it was still there.
