    I can't wait to see what this is going to evolve into:

    That's not what they mean by lighting, just fyi.

    LO listens to SPCT's who are minority of veterans with foggy past, who nowadays dictate what we gonna have in Apb. 

    Last i checked, i still remember things like the insta OSMAW car trick, 1300HP Pioneer, VIP Mikro/Vaquero, and not knowing how to customize clothing or having car kits like it was yesterday.

    I hope that isnt the case, the shotgun/smg balance was close to perfect until LO touched it the first time around. OCA was slightly too strong but other than they were fine. They would outgun longrange / midrange in cqc unless you messed up bigtime. Now i feel better of with a pistol in most cenarios, considering how unreliable and boring most of the cqc guns feel after the rebalancing.
     

    As for the people not getting involved with testing, I think a lot of it has to do with regardless of how good you are or how good you express yourself it seems to always fall on deaf ears. This is the same reason that you don’t see a lot of high tier players participate on the forums, why make a detailed and lengthy post explaining something when the majority opinion always seem to prevail. 

    Idk LO's obsession with shotguns other than them being "too strong" or something.  Currently i think they're okay, mostly just glad we got rid of pellet scaling.

     

    People not involved with testing i think has more to do with there not being much reason to do it.  You don't get anything from it really and most players are more into leveling up characters and such. 


    Honestly there's nothing wrong with writing a lengthy post (assuming its not like 5 paragraphs reciting the same thing).  The posts are in fact read and do come up in talks but sometimes there's a direction being aimed for resulting in posts seemingly getting ignored.  LO DOES read posts, just note that what you want may not be what is being aimed for or requires other things to happen.

    Why release a Shotgun when you seem to still have the rebalance going on? I doubt the last patch will be the final one in the forseeable future. Imagine winning this thing just to have it reworked next month or so.

     

    Edit:

     

    Apparently it's not a shotgun by game mechanics, but only visually? Where are the stats?

    The rebalance is done.  But like all things it's not the last time any of those guns will be adjusted.  The issue with weapon balancing is that not a lot of people are involved with it (from the community side of things) so things can change later on.

     

    It is also a shotgun by game mechanics.  Not sure what else it could be.

    I know this is a couple of days old, but the Espacio and Pioneer have 1600 health, and the armored truck has 1825.  It's really not a big difference, but its still more than those other two.

    I was experimenting with it at one point with different guns and explosives.  the M1 for sure has 1,750 HP, only 150 more than the Pioneer/Espacio.  Kinda shows just how stupidly strong the Pioneer/Espacio buff was.

    I would put forth a formal request that you guys consider taking one or more of the following actions:

    1. Provide the staff of APB Database (APB:Db) with whatever they need to update their site to properly show Curves values on related weapons.
    2. Create a post that contains all of the Curves data sheets, and pin it in one or more of the main forum sections for easy reference.
    3. Just revert the system entirely, so that all weapons return to using the vanilla range system with its linear values.

    1. Can't happen due to how "technical" the data is and there being no way to reasonably convert it.  2. Would probably just confuse people and require going out of the way to get.  3. is unlikely since afaik everyone liked the idea of range curves since it gave a bit of a boost to weapons effective ranges before dropping.

     

    What needs to go is accuracy curves however, that shits rank.

    Rayscaling intended to tackle the reliability issues and it did just that.

    Shotguns in this game are either so powerful it'll be your go-to choice for CQC or they end up being useless especially with a community whining as much as this one when it comes to balance.

    Ray scaling sucks major balls and the devs basically agree with that.   Keypoint is how the NFAS is absurdly strong, the JG is rather powerful while the CSG and SG-21 are patootie because of how the scaling works.   It was a failure of an idea due to how diverse shotguns are in APB.

    Why though? There's literally no reason that is an action that needs to be taken. If anything, you guys should bring back the two base variant LCRs as well as the retail ACT44, as those also had no reason to be removed from the store.

    You can buy both the LCR PR1 and Last Stand from the Joker store, so why should the be added to armas at all.   Would take like 1 month of playing to get either.

    How one can be sure then if they have enough money when buying many things at once if taxes are not included on the prices?

    the general logic would be that you go into the store and guesstimate up to your limit.  Such as walk into the store with $20 and buy $19 worth of stuff with the remaining $1 for taxes.  Though if you actually have money, then you don't pay attention to taxes, like at all.

    I don't understand how you move forward with applying these outrageous changes based on no data, as no one is even entering the test district.

    I've seen people enter the testing districts on the first day of every patch, so I'm not sure where that assumption comes from.  Not to mention these changes come from the opinions of everyone that writes something for the most part.  Assuming you write more than "CSG sucks" that is.

    Fair enough I just wish this shotgun would be more mainstream cause I doesn't feel like it exists atm

    I think that's due to pellet scaling making the gun less reliable so less people want to use it.  It and the CSG are the only shotguns that shoot 21 pellets and the SG-21 is rather slow so it really fell off once LO took over.  I do remember shortly after it came out and people understood it, it gained some traction for being an entertaining gun to use.

     

    Also because pop is still slowly dwindling down.

    The Raptor 45 'Condor' (Joker Mystery Box 17) is a he legendary assault rifle has a one of a kind mod call "XTD-7s Silencer", At this time it is the only gun in game that will not show up on radar... However this only applies to the first 3 bullets fired.

     

    Not the greatest benefit to the user, but the first 3 bullets being masked may just give enough of a delayed reaction from the target.

    Reminder that its thanks to the Condor that the radar is broken.

    Prototype A:

    Strife:

    The strife in here feels like the same out of place shotgun that it did years ago. It has little to no range and has an appalling fire rate making everything better than it so a slight fire rate increase would be nice to see.

     

    Prototype B:

    Strife:

    The strife in here yet again has the feeling of no mans land where it isn't good and doesn't really beat out anything in its class.

    Really the only thing i have to disagree with.  The SG-21 'Strife' is NOT meant to be a competitive weapon.  Its a clunky high risk/reward shotgun that's rather fun to use when you learn to not care.

     

    The Test A SG-21 is worse than the B variant since A only does 750 something per shot.  Though what you mean about range, the SG-21 originally had damage so high it beat even the CSG at 20m.  In actual combat however the CSG wins only because it can shoot so fast.
