There 2 versions of the hats? 

In 1 picture it has a band attached, in the second not

Pretty sure the devs were playing with things and forgot something.

[Are explosive weapons ever going to hit Armas?]

Would rather it just be limited to the AAEPD and the EOLs tbh.  You can grab a Hammer for dirt and just start leveling Demolitions with aggression and unlock a 1 slot OPGL/OSMAW.

Take all your shit, put it in a folder, and put it somewhere.  That's just unacceptable, even by my standards.

[Why are apb cars in these games?]

This is actually pretty old, and is also the reason the game files became encrypted back in 2014.  A retail disc has unlocked files however.

[Is this new?]

Oh jees, you guys found the ghost of Christmas past.

"Will the changes to the weapon affect the weapon?"

Considering what is capable of happening in the game, its kind of a valid question.  It sounds stupid but once you've seen some shit, don't sound so stupid no more.

Whisper and OCA SD changes be like.

Hi all,

 

I know this is garbage timing. The team is working as fast as they can to get things cut over.

We will do our best to communicate timing. As of right now I don't have any extra information.

 

Sorry,

Matt

So we can confirm this downtime is to do with the district changes and such?

 the windup timers should be removed entirely.

 

It was previously stated that removing the wind up timers turns them into rapid fire grenade launchers.  They would be straight upgrades to the OPGL without it, aside from the Deep Impact anyways.

I vaguely figured, honestly the achievement descriptions are a bit vague.

besides that 'if you could sign by the x', 'mailman', and 'neither snow nor rain nor heat...' are all much more difficult for enforcers to complete imo (assuming you aren't exploiting the system) 

I might be wrong but don't those achievements also count mission task items?  I swear they did.

strife increased RoF

Literally no.  Contrary to what one might think, a buff to its fire rate makes the gun less entertaining and amusing.

I wanted APB merch tho :c I suppose oonit games has the rights so we're not gonna see any of that? 

Technically since its ingame content, it is proper APB merch?  Like it is but it also isn't.

[APB Steam achievements]

At one point they were obtainable and for those who got them they show. Those who worked hard and got them should be able to have them and for those who werent around the only way to get them is if LO resurrects the event that was used to obtain them. Its something that isnt impossible to do, its all up to if LO wants to do it or not and give the chance to get them again.

The event to get them has been around every year.  The achievements themselves are coded to unlock under certain conditions, the condition requirement for all of the old hidden achievements is Null so they're literally unobtainable except for the Anarchy achievements.

 

It's far more logical to just get rid of them entirely or merge them into a year round achievement set.

Alot of games have hidden achievements. TF2, Destiny 2, L4D 1 and 2, LP2 oh and there are other games on steam with achievements you cant get anymore. Firefall 
(when it was around) L4D 2, and the youtube achievements on TF2 are impossible unless you have a following. Oh and Xbox live has hidden achievements too. All in all this is normal practice that wont be going away.

The problem isn't hidden achievements, especially since games with hidden achievements still have them as visible, just set up as unknowns.  In APBs case, you literally wont even know about the achievement until you some how obtain it.

 

That' wasn't my point on achievements being hidden at all however, the point was that since they exist in APB themselves, there's no point in them being on steam, you can not obtain them in any way on your own account, so they simply shouldn't exist on steam as there's absolutely no way to unlock them.

p.s. OMG is there a Space suit pack coming to Armas? Judging by some of the unreleased symbols I'd say there is defenitly something going on!

If you're asking about an actual space suit clothing item, no.  Preset items with the symbols shown on them, yes.

[Pardon our mess - new District Servers coming online]

I feel like this is supposed to be pinned...

Just now, Solamente said:

how will they compensate the people who currently have completed these achievements?

They wouldn't.  For what its worth, the achievements are always there, just hidden from view...  Because Reloaded Reasons.

 

Honestly though, they genuinely don't belong on steam unless you redo them so they are instead something you can get every year.

[OCA Nano mission impossible....to get]

Actually, the current APB DB has the chance values of getting them.

 

 

However, as previously stated its random as all hell.  Got Chrome Nanos on both my Enf and Crim within a week and haven't seen anything since, and that was back in 2016.

before i answer you, do you understand why the CSG is harder to use than the JG shotgun atm? if you can answer this without any sarcasm or trolling ill answer you without trolling.

Its not exactly harder to use.  It's just that the hit boxes lag behind the character enough that, along with the pellet changes, makes the JG, NFAS, and Ogre much more forgiving to use.  The SG-21 suffers just as much as the CSG does despite having wide spread.  Pellet count may also have an impact on things since the CSG and SG-21 have 21 pellets, where the JG and NFAS have like 12, so the damage gets way more divided with higher pellets.

back when the CSG was first released shotguns worked well.  What changed about how shotguns worked from back then?

A LOT has changed from shotguns back when the CSG was first released.  Pellet spread, damage, fire rate, Cooling Jacket...  In no way are they the same thing like they were back in 2011.  Currently shotguns have this pellet change that makes missed pellets increase the damage of pellets that hit your target.  It's the most annoying thing and has actually ruined shotguns as they're now even less reliable, except the NFAS which reaped the rewards that change was supposed to bring.
