    It's a better LCR, what's not to love about it?

    In CQB, sure.  Otherwise the LCR still beats it down range due to its broken drop off.  If you got the Old Glory, then that is even better since CJ doesn't affect the fire rate when in marksmen on the New Glory.  Really it's just a worse Ursus that tries to be a better LCR, but depending on how you look at it, it both is and isn't.

    Thank you very much for your reply 🙂

     

    An idea in order to avoid this "base stats design" issue would be to let the gun come with an unchangeable Hunting Sight 3 and an additional empty slot.  The stats would stay the same except  +5 degrees zoom level. [Source: https://apbdb.com]

     

    Talking about the New Glory: Without going too off topic now, but in its current state it can't really compete with the most other weapons of the game.

    Then it would literally just be the Ursus.

    As Hexerin stated, that's exactly what the Ursus is.  It's just using a unique version of Hunting Sight 3 that has a different aiming reticle.  This is kinda where the New Glory shines as the lack of hunting sight makes it better in close quarters.  But as we know, the New Glory is just a super weird and awkward weapon.  Kinda unfinished too.

    Here are my suggestions to extend the list of permanent Joker Store items: 

     

    - VBR 'Temptress' ( Since there is no way to get this gun nowdays ) 

    - N-TEC 7 / N-TEC 7c with 2 open slots

     

    Why the N-TEC 7:

    There are already other 'non legendary' versions of Legendaries in the Joker Store ( like the Raptor ). Besides... An N-TEC 7 without that sight

    would be neat 🙂 

    Technically this is where the New Glory would come in.  However some of us don't think the N-TEC 7 could work that way due to its base stats design.  Worth to note that some weapons are designed around their mods.

    The majority voting Yes, probably are imagining that they'll get to use cool weapons they don't own, which is counterproductive to selling stuff on armas, which already has free trials. For BR mode it makes sense though.

    Legendary weapons can't be trailed and weapon trials i think reset every month or so.  Also there are a handful of weapons that you can't trial.  Not sure how its counterproductive to selling guns on ARMAS though.

    Honestly i don't really care since its been a non-issue in my experience.  There is currently a bug with how it works so you can't see yours or other players weapons after they die, but in FC that doesn't really matter.  FC is a place where very little matters and i like that aspect of it.

     

    What would be nice though is an actual key to drop your weapon like with items.  If a new weapon launches and people want to try before they buy, it's a good way to do it as nobody really loses outside of first time buyers.

     

    I recommend leaving it on for a while and see what happens.  The current implementation of it nullifies the whole 2 primary fear which is good.

    Trying to persuade Matt to swap the Golden N-HVR with the normal one so it's skinable.  If this is the future then the "Golden" weapons are basically pointless.

    Out of all the weapons, ALL OF THEM, you pick Atac and Hvr ??

    What was the thought process behind it ?

    Why no love for lmg's ? Or any secondary ?

    I'm sure it was a choice to simply test the waters with the idea since they're not new, just being changed to permanent.  Shame if you buy them before the patch though.

    You cannot blame EAC for this. If your programming is not modular like you claimed it would be for the new engine; then why is it all or nothing for this patch?

    Because they're swapping out Battleye for EAC.  And with EAC not functioning correctly, its either run a game with no form of anti-cheat or hold things until its fixed.

     

    Personally i prefer waiting over getting kicked every few minutes or dealing with rampant cheaters.  And yeah, there's plenty of cheaters now but do you really want more for a week?

    riot got panned as a shitty br from the moment orbit first teased it last year, they have no one to blame but themselves for rushing content that a significant portion of the (visible) community had no interest in

     

    I'm actually curious where you get "rushed content" out of a delay caused by EAC.

    auth issues are not "last second issues". this is something that should have been found days before, not doing tests right before release. No they don't look unprofessional, THEY ARE unprofessional.

    This is just another example. I get it they are small company without any experience with "big" online games but at this point this is just a meme.

    It's an issue that cropped up last night when we were actually testing something else.

    Se we can't connect to districts using the Advanced tab to select a certain server, but we can connect by just choosing what district we want. 

    Problem with that is that there's more reasons for it happening than just that, and once it starts, have to reboot the game to make it stop.

    @MattScott @Flight or @SkittyM give us a list of new Jocker Ticket permanents with prices. pls 😟

    You'll just have to wait for that Golden N-HVR 762-SD Dvah to drop to see anything.

    I got a question, What company tests one of their biggest updates right before releasing it? At this point you guys just make yourself look unprofessional as hell, you had only 2 OTW tests, you guys changed a lot after the last delayed OTW test and you guys didnt think to test it again, but test it the same night you guys are going to release it? joke of a company

    Last second issues are a thing.   We had only discovered this particular issue with it last night after a day or two of testing things.

    Basically, the entire game has nearly been rewritten. Why do you think it's taken so long, honestly? You have a small team (RP had 6 coders at one time) doing the work that a massive team of 300 were doing. And that team of 300 took 5 years to make the game, and it still got rushed and pushed out without it being completed.

    What.  Also do keep in mind that RP weren't the only ones working on APBs new engine until maybe 3 years in.  They cranked out a lot in about a 2 year span from what i can tell.  Props to them for their efforts.

    Gotta correct you on two things. One, bandwidth usage would be the same, since the game doesn't send the textures directly, but instead sends instructions on how to recreate the character locally. Two, it would require 4x more memory per texture since you're working with squares, meaning 8x the memory per player in district (if we double normals too) for the clients which can become pretty daunting considering that textures are by far the largest part in memory usage in games.

    Mind you as time progresses, the "average" PC does too.  I know for some years 8GB of RAM and 2-4GB of VRAM was the norm and now 16GB of RAM and 6GB VRAM is more a norm, those numbers of course increasing as time goes on.  On top of that, the game already can load the player at max res and other characters/models at half res if you want it to.  So telling the game to render my character with 2048 and others at 1024 is hugely feasible.

     

    2048 res and doubling the character poly count probably is somewhere near the bottom of LOs list of wants with 3.5 (or 4).  Though I'm sure that's a LONG ways away as well as requiring A LOT of work to do.  Least of our current problems though.

    i would hope "textures improved" meant across the board

     

    i also agree with the skepticism that this would extend to player content aka the stuff that's more important though, albeit it would be really nice to say goodbye to the horribly jagged low res symbols.

    Those are very unlikely to change in the near future as that would no doubt require a huge system change to how the character/vehicle editors work.  They never were changed back when RP was porting everything since they were focused on time.

    Curious. Have physics changed at all? Apart from 4x4 wheelies.

    Vehicles have seemed to get a smidge more bouncy, normal Vegas now has suspension, can't do wheelies in any vehicle.  Otherwise the same as Live PC.  Can't say much about OTW2 however, it's just a port of console, if you played console you know that OTW2 is just a prettier version of that with M/KB.

    I'm surprised that out of everything, we have a near 1:1 version of consoles, or otherwise current LIVE that is playable for the most part.

     

    But I do like the current bug of where character editors (Body and Clothing) display the character as solid black.  Was fun making Skitty without being able to see her.

    Can someone tell me if 4x4 wheelies are alive?

    As Matt had stated before, Its based on the console version, and since you can't do wheelies on console, I'm 99.9% sure that you can't on the new PC version.  This is subject to change however depending on what LO wants to do.  At least the normal Vegas was given suspension.

    it's sad that you stopped . there were good works , some of your ideas impressed me very much .

    I actually had to stop because APB's content is limiting, the only way to pass that is by redoing things from scratch.  Ultimately i chose to make scratch stuff for GTA V instead of APB but you never know, i might scratch make something for APB.  Thinking of doing the Jericho but for now, im content with what I've made so far.
