they could do a similar effect as the Manic has, where out of marksman your recoil is higher, when you're in marksman its lower. The current recoil could be decreased to about half or slightly more than half of the difference between the current recoil and the pre-nerf recoil for a decent balance as well. But noone uses tommygun for a reason, sooo.

that's been around forever though, its a graphics card glitch. Like some of those highway building things show up chrome

nah i think that's simply what he was refering to. I had no clue until i read the later post

" APB Engine Upgrade I know this is the update everyone is waiting for. and we are nearing completion of the engine upgrade. The SPCT has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly for the last couple months. According to last year's Roadmap, I wanted to get the new engine into the hands of players on OTW in February, but we hit a fairly significant snag in the Multithreaded Rendering code. Ultimately, we scrapped what was there and completely re-wrote it. We now have most of that working, but there is some work to consolidate code between PS4 and XB1/PC. The only other major task is to migrate all the content from 1.19 and RIOT mode, which has already started. As soon as that is done, I will post some screenshots, benchmarks, and timing for public tests." "Internally I felt that if we launched the engine upgrade but then took 4-6 months to build out a major new piece of content that would be a mistake. It's going to take a little more time to tackle matchmaking, new core gameplay contacts / progression, and a big F2P initiative that I want to roll out." " I have an entire deep dive blog on RIOT coming as soon as the ARG ends. It will include full details on the mode, the seasonal reward structure, and even some upcoming regular gameplay meta changes. As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and are eager to share more. Thanks, Matt" From the quarter review probably...

all staff/gms can just instamake their characters max rank... sooo

shhh dont tell him the 7 year long secret

only 1 silver district is full, and maybe a fightclub if lucky... During events pop increases a little but normally its play on which is open... even during Jericho uptime at 5+est.

I mean, i simply play in silver and on whichever 1 of the two silver districts have pop in it. I havnt seen 2 full districts (WF and Fin) since LO took over, and before that... before gold lock so heh..

Depends on what primary weapon I use. CQC wise, using the .45 or the RFP is great for covering cqc-mid. If i'm using a mid/far i prefer something closer range

I was shootin high on purpose hehe

no offense but its piss easy to get gold threat. If you just upthreated its fairly easy to dethreat, because the game runs on a ~20 mission? -50 mission Ratio for threat, im pretty sure 20 mission. Also note that most "golds" in bronze, arent real golds, but simply silvers who upthreated, who weren't dethreating in gold. Most of which aren't anywhere near "gold" skill level, but due to the easiness of getting gold, are gold. Not that being stomped in silver district when they are fake gold doesn't make them downthreat anyways /shrug. You can report dethreaters now as well. Just sayin. pretty much, I'd be in OC 24/7 if it had a population to go with it. You don't worry about rank/threat, and you get opp REALLY fast, but there's no pop there so i go silver. Cause its the only one with pop

There's supposed to be up to like 300 some levels so we are only half way there..

Cool, thanks for the clarification then.

I mean, my clan was a mix of bronze to gold and we all played in silver for fun. A bunch ended up upthreating into gold and got annihilated and quit during gold lock. We had 15 to 30 active members on the weekend before gold lock, by the end of gold lock only 5 remained. I spent a week trying to dethreat and couldn't during gold lock to play with clan members and get away from the cheaters, glitch and exploit abusers, and macro users. Gold lock made it so that even the mediocre silvers who upthreated (it was and is piss easy to get gold) couldn't get fair opp nor fair games. Yes there cheaters and performance in gold districts did not help either, but the massive problem is that anyone unlucky enough to get or be gold during that time felt instantly punished and mandated to play against the trash every... Single.... Match. I went against cheat clans and well known now "unbanned" cheaters 5+ missions in a row, before getting a single fair match. Then it went back to facing the first group. You really think locking people into that situation is going to make more people play the game? If gold is only 20% of the pop, then 50% shouldn't have disappeared. Granted not nearly as many people cheat anymore, which is great, but the previous lock experience has tarnished every thought of going back to it. Ironically the old gm team also disappeared shortly after the lock was lifted. So take that as you will.

They paused progress and then asked the community to add more content or pause content for the engine upgrade and then add stuff later as it would be easier. It was almost unanimous for the choice of pause creating new stuff and work on the engine upgrade.

You want to lose the remaining 300 people who play? Threat locking districts is what made joker lose 500 players in a month and a half to 3 months.

That would be a mission district contact, right? They still may do a riot only contact type thing if so... I hope

With Riot around the corner, and it obviously having to do with riots and likely crowd control. I have to wonder if they will create a new contact as a member of the Praetorian's "Praetorian Riot Squad" (only mentioned in-game via ltl description). Unless the new contact is going to be Prentiss Tigers, it would make some sense to bring in a riot control themed contact from game lore, even if it is just someone to buy weapons from or something without any real progression. (Ernest doesn't count cause he's more of a lethal tank than riot control) What do you think? Will they make a contact for the event like they did Christmas events? Or will they just use normal contacts and forego anything special contact flavor wise like they do with Valentine's?

no, they are investigating ghost shots and bad hit reg. By the sounds of it OP may have helped them fix that issue.

so high quality alcoholic hamsters ? Or rugged and beat up ones on crack?

We don't know what servers they even have now, just sayin. They were supposed to have upgraded, but some did some didnt? Something happened no clue

Did you know that the servers struggled for years under 50v50 and that making it 40v40 was something they asked the community and spct about and was told to lower it if it helps with server stability? guess not. yes, it decreased the instability, but didnt get rid of it. Server customization was listed as one of the things G1 said put a lot of stress on the servers, and various people have tested it, and found that it is true, which is why lower servers/districts with less customization lag less.

probably, but even 2 years ago, G1 tried different servers and they all had issues to an extent, so i'm not sure. Maybe the fact that its older and not as optimized could be the issue

Servers won't be able to handle much anyways because they have to handle everyones customizations at once. Hitreg is best when there is less customization. Maybe tell everyone to stop being so customized.

Nope, it's not as long as there is a way around it, aka right next to it by 15m to the right.
