well saying on console is different, gl with this endeavor

I heard there were seats as well

Is the mirage the car they talked about in one of the Q&A 2.1 beta streams? Yes I'd like to know.

I thought the video would provide insight...just seems like silver stupidity... In the now 3 years of me playing this game. I realized that just because you played for 9 years doesn't automatically make you right, or wiser than everyone else. The new engine isn't supposed to be APB Reloaded: Remastered,remake, what ever. There are people who have to mess with game files just to play due to crashing. This engine takes apb from 32bit -> 64bit effectively letting those who got RTX cards to once again play normally. The byproduct of this is also supposed to be better performance. Which hopefully LO is dialing in. Because if you knew anything about this game. You would know RTW did a lot of "cheating" in the code department. And a lot of this code went initially unnoticed. Stuff that provided graphical effects we see with little performance hit. I mean LO found out that the Ambient occlusion in APB is mapped. And not rendered real-time like SSAO. Plus there just comes the part where with this new engine LO can easily import new content. AND AGAIN if you followed twitch streams etc. YOU WOULD KNOW new content is coming in the final launch of the new engine. Weapon balance is not an issue in APB. Something will always be broken players will always find the best gun in the game. In every game. Every gun in apb can kill everyone it's just a matter of learning. I still suck with the ntec...but I play weapons that I'm good with and I usually hold my own. Cheating is bad in apb, but I'm gonna go on a whim and say no anti-cheat is going to fix the BIG cheats. Or most common ones. More common cheats need to be delt with on a game redesign level/change something in the game to make cheating hard and more annoying than playing without cheats. That's my two cents

Not a config. Advanced launcher tweaks settings the game modifies in-game. I'm not sure what these configs hold but like I said they keep my friend from crashing as often. Now that my memory is refreshed his graphics don't look like potato but he claims he crashes way less now.

idk about a 30 series, but there are configs (that LO does not approve so use at your own risk) that are supposed to help reduce the crashing. IDK where said files can be found but maybe some asking around and googling can help This is the very reason APB needs the new engine

You can sort buy buy price and bid price. is this what you mean by "price check" Have you ever considered maybe no one want's the mods your selling? I put up symbols for sale and get a couple of buyers but the other 80% get sent back to me. I doubt any person with common sense would go looking for the most expensive mod they need...

Any speculation on what it might look like? Anything I myself or others might have missed?

I love that being actually skilled at this game will get you labeled as a cheater forever

It's like you didn't even read my post, but instead decided to skim through it. Let's start with...where did I say "make base guns available to everyone"? I'm not stupid I listed those guns because THEY ARE available to everyone. I'm not saying to just make 3 slot weapons available to everyone. Because something like the OCA which you keep complaining about is strong without mods. Next, by "minor" I meant bloom and range changes. there instead of completely reworking how a gun is played. Like instead of making a strong gun useless. Make it require more skill to play. There are many ways to do this... Regarding this...if you consider GTA 5 as a competitive shooter... GTA can get away with it because I see GTA as a more PVE shooter. Plus that game is wild out of control with cheaters as well. People don't need hits scans in that game because they can increase damage of guns themselves THE VERY REASON APB IS SERVER SIDE EVERY THING NOW. Personally wouldn't care if evening everyone's height was a LO decision. Some people believe that being short makes your hit box smaller...

Ez, you don't. Although thinking about it, everyone's height will have to be the same which removes customization. But lets be honest 95% of APB players pick the short option for some reason. I didn't mean it for be a tool for LO to use, as I remember once upon a time they were talking about guns in the new engine and fixing their ghost shots. I also said "implemented correctly" I don't know the ins and outs of game design but if these hit sounds are played server side can make hitting people *feel* just that little bit better. IDK I just think colored crosshairs are stupid in a game that's pvp and has a lot of cheats revolving the colored crosshair.

I just don't think it matters for APB and here's my thoughts on why: APB has many weapons, because APB has these many weapons 1 or 3 are bound to be easier or stronger than the rest. APB is definitely the home of monkey see monkey do. 1 person plays a gun and owns everyone. That 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 6 to 8 and so on. Until this one gun becomes meta. This is what will happen everytime something is "balanced" in APB. I don't think it's so much as X,Y,Z guns are broken or overpowered. People get annoyed at fighting the same meta all the time. Which is why yes APB balance is important. To distribute said meta across many guns. My thoughts on a solution? Well I would make the guns every player has access to: STAR, NTEC, OBEYA, OCA, JG, SHAW, and ALIG really good and solid guns. Once each of these are fun to play against each other. Begin buffing every other gun in the game to be at least on par with the previously said weapons. Another thing to consider is that hit-scaning in APB can make a gun more broken. A solution to this problem would be to make it harder for hit scans to work effectively. A good start would be remove crosshair colors. And instead make the hitmarkers more reliable and add an audible hit sound to make the gun feel like it hit. Something like this if implemented correctly can aid in detecting something like ghost shots. But for now. These minor balance changes will never satisfy anyone. So I'd just roll with it.

I honestly don't know why people dethreat. Shit takes way too much effort

This picture is so well made you would have thought it existed in the game already! A search feature would be nice as well. Or even a change loadout while dead feature.

I play on -30fps. That's right I play APB backwards

And before you see a massive white hat over a wall in the distance XD Bolt action un-scoped rifle would be cool. Needs a pre-red mod tho so cooling jacket can't be used. Rye

Good question, Los Santos is like the make fun of California/Hollywood. And I'd want to off myself real quick if I lived there. V.s. Literal war zone every day

maybe.

Your Profile pic has convinced me True. 24h should be enough, but i'm guessing they wont do something like that because cheaters on new accounts then have access to those weapons for 24hrs or maybe the pressure of buying the weapon on sale. I usually look up the weapon (Hei <3) then trial it, if I feel like it's something that I would like to buy then I get it on sale and don't cry that I did. Instead I feel a sense of, "I collected another gun for my arsenal"

APB is such a flawed game where touching anything wont solve anything. One idea could be Time-lock new accounts to districts so that new players can fight new players until they can get a better feel for the game, then when time runs out let them run loose in unlocked districts. A really good way to enforce the new player idea would be to make it IP tied. So if APB detects a new IP it will time lock that account. This would keep hopefully most griefers out of this time locked server who keep making new accounts, and any recently banned cheaters as well. Also it's Bronze not bronce

Buy what ever makes you happy. See what other people play. I play the unmeta because it makes me happy.

Yep...can we get some bloom buffs now to weapons? Why does the FAR have to be shit, meanwhile the NTEC is king? Annoying is what it is. Can't tell a lie though, bought it only because it seemed like a strong weapon.

rate apb 1-10 based on : - performance : 6/10 - gameplay : 7/10 - community : 4/10 - guns : 2/10 - items : 1/10 - how much u love the GMs : 3/10

I think we all believed CDProjekt red, then found out we've been lied to. I don't expect the engine to be the silver bullet that will save the game. Just the tool LO needs to make it great. One big step, then many smaller ones.

APB is dead without the new engine. No it won't fix all of APB's problems right of the bat. But think of it as the game LO can start trying to get new players to play on. This is why they haven't advertised yet. I for one am scared to death of loosing my account, my game files are only what either LO themselves allow or what the game downloads. (aka advanced launcher is as far as ill go until they link configs to use) Cheating is in a gray zone, because APB is very hard to tell if someone is cheating. Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't. My opinion? I think it does exist but ill never be able to prove it so I don't bother hack-u-sating or reporting it. While the game isn't dead yet, the population is on a steady decline since 2014. Honestly I just want LO to hit a home run with the engine, instead of rushing it and disappointing the community that still want the game to be great.
