    IIRC the leftovers were used for the yukon?

     

    But I think it's just the RFP-9 without the extended mag and muzzle brake.

    The Mountie guns are made from scratch.  the M9 was just a placeholder and later swapped to the RFP.

    Yea, I am specifically referring to the ARMAS daily/weekly activity system. It used to be on a page that popped up when you first logged in and was something that you could track either on the web or through the web browser in game. It was something that we were looking at bringing back but am working on setting up a way that QA can test it. Hopefully, if the system still works and doesnt require development time, its something that we can bring out, at least as a trial run in the coming weeks.

    I like this information.  It's Rak approved even.

    Been a long while, but I believe part of it was that the guns themselves were outdated. Plus adding in new rewards took a good chunk of time. Assuming we are talking about the original fight club weeklies. Where you'd earn unlocks to lease guns and the likes. Don't believe the systems for it were broken.

     

    It was one of those things where they simply migrated towards a different means of providing content, I think?

     

    I could be horribly mistaken. Been ages since I was involved in any meaningful capacity with anything APB:R. Let alone the last time I really thought about it.

    This is all referring to the ARMAS activities we used to have.  It's something that needs to come back really, give people something to do.

    I don' tknow LO's standpoint on ripping. i would be fine if LO even made profit out of it. like selling a pass where u can download your avatar whit the outfit u wan to rip. if the price is reasonable.

    They don't care as long as you give credit and don't try to steal things.

    Wrong. Depends on the region but a lot of places it is illegal to be using it even if not for profit and you give credit.

    A lot of places also don't care amusingly enough.  Almost every ToS/EULA mentions that you can't extract the games models for use but Blizzard is like, the only company i can think of that has ever actively done anything about that.  End result is that there's a rather high chance nothing will happen to you, and 9 chances out of 10 you'll either move on to better things or just completely drop it like a lot of people tend to do.

    It is not illegal in and of it self.  It becomes illegal if you either A. try to profit off the assets you pulled, or B. Claim that you made them.  The latter being if you claim you made the models yourself and don't give credit since Little Orbit owns literally everything made in APB Reloaded, including anything you make in the game.

     

    As long as you give credit in some way and don't make money off things, you'll be fine.  Good luck with any of that though since afaik the modeling side of the community has basically moved on to other games.

    i don’t know if i would shorten the actual progression time, but where and when items that affect gameplay are unlocked definitely needs a thorough revamp

    I would honestly shorten the actual progression time for the Specialist tier at the very least.  Getting to the 15 level Boss contacts and maxing them out is actually fine, but good lord are the specialists a huge grind for a single level.  Not only is it a long patootie grind, but you only get 1 item per level, it's straight trash.

    my personal suggestion is to move as many unlocks behind role progression (maybe even create some new roles) as possible, that’s a better mix between a time gate and a skill gate imo

    Only issue with this is that it reduces the reason to level up contacts.  You have to make a metric ton more content just to fill in those empty spaces.  Weapon mods are the only thing that could be moved to roles along with weapon themed accessories(Skins, clothing, etc.).

     

    Though weapon roles need a serious revamp.  Some of the better looking guns (JG Tac, OCA Stock, N-TEC 5 Stock,) are locked behind an additional level.  You unlock 3 slot guns at Level 15 but the "cooler" guns require an extra 10,000 kills to get which is dumb.   Outside of Sniper, the total 20,000 kills needed for max level is fine but the rewards need to be condensed down into lower levels, likely throwing in more guns, skins, or clothing to unlock in the higher levels or something.

    Can y'all run the event for at least 30 minutes? They end too fast.

    The thing about gun game is that it doesn't really have a timer on it.  It ends the moment someone gets a kill with the final weapon tier.

     

    Them going by fast is more of a good thing since it means more JT in the allotted time.

    It should be dynamic so when you look at your gun it reflects and shows the enemy behind you.

    Not possible and even on 2,1 its super unlikely.  Way to much of a performance hit.

    I think that there's too much chrome on some weapons and they should add more matte black parts to some of them. Pure chrome wouldn't look that good on anything anyway which is why they have black parts to begin with. They should make it less blue-ish and more greyish.

     

    This i can agree with.

    Is the C9S a new version of the c9. Or has it been in the game just not in joker store?

    It's been in the game but was never released.  its just a 2 slot OCA SD.

    I don't know, they seem to be stuck on lighting for a loooong time.

    The very first G1 leaks already had horrible lighting and it doesn't seem like it's really going forward.

    Looks better than it used to tbh, but also keep in mind, RPs lighting was seriously that bad.  Wrong light types, lights being full dynamic instead of partially, awful color grading, lights showing where they shouldn't.  Do mind that there's a lot more happening than what Matt might show.  Gotta get those character editors looking right.

    Thanks for your comment.

    I know they dind't exactly said "we GAVE to unit game APB2", but they basically said "Hey, sorry, the australia team was struggling so we abandoned that project and will remain only with 3.5 at the end".

    of course, if they didn't give anything other like you said to the other company, but at the same time they give up on UE 4.0, then is a scrapped abandoned plan which is not going to exist.

    Technically, they said that but not directly.

     

    I don't know their plans, but nobody except them do.

    I would like anyway to have some explanations about all of this, and the other above.

    It isn't that APB on UE4 isn't going to exist, its that managing two projects at once is too much, so they pushed it aside.  In some years LO might announce an engine upgrade to UE4 or even UE5 if that becomes a thing.  For the time being however, there is no work being done with the UE4 version of APB.

     

    It'll no doubt happen since even APB 2.1 is running on depreciated stuff, get what you get though.

    But they didn't said "APB 4.0 will not happening", they just said "We basically realized that developing both APB Reloaded and APB2 was too much for us. The Australia team was struggling to get their head around the massive amounts of tech, and we lack mobile experience to expand the brand." that doesn't mean APB 4.0 isn't happening, that just tells you that they gave that part to UNIT GAME because their team can't struggle with it.

    That would be wrong.  That sentence is literally business speak for "We can't do this so we're going to shelve it until later."  No where does it state that LO GAVE Unit Game anything other than the rights to the core APB title.   LO could be sitting on what little data there is for UE4 regarding APB but it also could've been outright scrapped.

    Snip

    This has less to do with APB and more to do with just development in general.  Keep in mind that you gain nothing at all if you hype up something and can't deliver or it not happening as promised.   LO does in fact get proper feedback on things as they do actively read the forums and even the discord server, just note that not everything is feasible.   Core reason they don't talk much is because its virtually crunch time.  Nearly all resources go into APB 2.1 with some "crucial" quick stuff dropping in on Live.
