This happens on Male characters, not sure about females. No other clothing items required for this to happen. Trump has two mouths. That's not my mouth sticking through either, it's a duplicate of the mask's mouth. I don't know if I even want this fixed because of how godly it looks.

APB Holiday Events 2018 (Updated)
BrandonBranderson replied to Lixil's topic in General Discussion Archive
So wait... Where do we post the ugly sweaters? Edit: Is it still possible to get the Santa hat this year? -
Battle Royale is a fad game type and is already on it's way out the door. By the time they get one finished nobody would even want it anymore. Just because "ever other action game" is doing it doesn't mean it's a good fit for APB.

APB Holiday Events 2018 (Updated)
BrandonBranderson replied to Lixil's topic in General Discussion Archive
Would cheats even benefit the Hohopgl at all? Macros would just make it need to wind up after every shot. I just think most people don't realize the HoHoPGL works like the True Ogre. You continue holding LMB after the first shot and it keeps firing fairly quickly. My friend also pointed out something interesting about that gun. The snowballs seem to follow the recoil when fired, so the recoil comes first , then the snowball is launched so it ends up being shot a bit higher than the crosshair. I don't know if that's really the case but that just seems to be what it's doing. -
Doom and Quake are definitely up at the top for me, mainly Quake 3 because half of the soundtrack was done by one of my favorite bands, Front Line Assembly. Nowadays I play Quake Champions with an extended version of that song on repeat and it somehow just doesn't get old. I'd kill for a remastered version.

This is exactly the kind of bug that should not be fixed, if it even is a bug. It allows for more free customization, just like how you can now wear cat ears with hoodies. That's something that G1 fixed a long time ago, then everyone got mad so they reverted it.
-
There used to be overcast days toward the beginning of Reloaded, but it's something G1 removed for one reason or another. Or more likely broke and couldn't figure out how to fix just like the tracers. The fog wasn't nearly as intense as this, but it looked cool and definitely gave morning a neat feel.

What's yours? A personal favorite of mine:

I was never really a huge fan of Bethesda's games. I love the Fallout universe to death, but every Bethesda game suffers from the same problem. Shitty movement. It feels incredibly floaty and you get hung up on any little geometry that's sticking up out of the ground. The player essentially feels like a sliding block that's being pushed from behind. The combat always seems really lacking too. I think they should just strip it all down and start from scratch on a new engine with TESVI. And design some faces that actually look human.

Believe me Matt, even mediocre is godsend compared to how G1 was running everything and I'm willing to say that you're doing way better than mediocre. Sure you have little hiccups now and then but all is totally forgivable because you actually fix your mistakes instead of just leaving them to fester and cause more problems later on like G1 did. Some of us are negative a-holes (non-legit criticism, the "game sucks fix it" kind of people), but I think it's safe to say that most of us are very grateful for every little thing you've done for the game and us so far. Going from zero communication and progress to what you're doing now is a huge change. I doubt that even if a more experienced company with a bigger staff picked up this game that they would have given the game the same amount of love you guys have so far in such a short amount of time.

The thing is, pretty much all of these guns are in a good spot right now except for the M-1922 and Norseman guns. For the M-1922, just revert it to it's former state where it didn't have a recoil ramp, but just had crazy, yet controllable recoil from the start. As for #7, no. The harbinger is a cool gun, it just needs more overdamage so it can kill in 4 shots as reliably as the ACT44.

Free For All Mode Fightclub?
BrandonBranderson replied to Tiuhti's topic in General Discussion Archive
FFA would be pretty cool, it's always been my favorite mode in Quake, but I'd suggest doing it in a map that hasn't been added yet, like the abandoned hotel that was (not officially) shown quite a while ago. -
If I remember correctly Matt said something about possibly getting a console update out around February if all goes well. I might be remembering that wrong though. They need to get the PC unified on the same engine with consoles before they can do anything meaningful to either version.

Me too. Your advice is shit _chain. Or maybe it was because I grabbed her shoulders and started screaming the digits of pi in her face.

Little Orbit Adv launcher version .... when ?
BrandonBranderson replied to MidnightQ's topic in General Discussion Archive
Huh? How do you expect everyone to run the game equally with different hardware? No amount of graphics options will change that. But if it's been proven safe to use and not bannable, then why? There's no viruses, it only changes your apb settings files. No harm can be done with this tool. Great globs of glop, why am I covered in -
Nope, he's just full of shit. The only mention of APB 2 was how MattScott was referring to the Unreal 4 upgrade of APB (not the one coming soon, this is an ongoing project carried out by their separate Australian team) He was simply calling that version APB2 because the game would have to be completely rewritten from the ground up, but he wasn't referring to it as a different game altogether.

For real. What do you think is REAL problem of APB right now?
BrandonBranderson replied to Mitne's topic in Archive
The amount of shit a brand new player has to go through to get the game working. I recently had about 5 friends start playing APB and all but one of them were encountering issues getting into the game. One got locked out of his account after his game crashed and it said he was still online the next day, so he ended up making a new account since he didn't have any progress yet anyway. The others first ran into performance issues and other weird technical things. We ended up getting all of their problems sorted out, but still, that was an entire night of trying to get the game working for the 4 of them that had problems. The other managed to get it running perfectly fine, and advanced launcher (set to max???) fixed the performance issues for the others. Other than technical issues, I'd say the extremely underwhelming progression system. It just doesn't feel like you're really "progressing" once you unlock all the base weapons and cars. From there on it's mostly just preset junk during the grind to R195, then once you reach that everything feels even more meaningless. You've made it nearly to max rank, here's a flare gun. Woohoo. It would be a lot of work but it would be awesome if they would remove the preset garbage unlocks from the contacts (You would still unlock it, but it wouldn't show in a contact's menu) and replace it with something meaningful. Preset guns are fine up to a certain level, but by the time you hit 195 you shouldn't need to lease presets anymore, so there's no sense unlocking them from then on. Sure, our little community is trash but I REALLY disagree with the idea that that's even the start of why the population got so low. Most people have thick enough skin to ignore the real douchebags. -
This sounds great. Most of my friends who recently came back are mostly only here for the customization, except one who is only interested in the combat and progression. So this would work out perfectly if they were to ever buy premium.

Just because your friends say it doesn't mean it's true, and it isn't. APB isn't p2w. The free guns are the best in the game and the Armas weapons just offer different playstyles and reskins. A lot of players like to blame Armas weapons of being P2W as an excuse for why they lost, when the reality is that they just weren't as good as the person who happened to be using a paid gun. The Raptor and Ogre are legendaries which can also be obtained through in-game trading, and its been a long time since the ATAC was overpowered, and the Thumper (also a tradable legendary) is nowhere near overpowered. The engine upgrade is being worked on and Matt said that the SPCT will be testing it soon. Promotion is only a good thing if what you are promoting is in a good state, and at the moment APB isn't. Matt also said that he plans on running more promotional stuff after the game is in a better state.

can apb be better please ?? ( boring af )
BrandonBranderson replied to Ayule's topic in General Discussion Archive
Wow that is some really constructive criticism. I think you just saved APB. Good job. -
Awesome! Really happy to see this come back! Congrats to all the "new" SPCT!
-
If Crossout can pull off a racing game mode then I bet APB could too. Crossout also has notoriously bad input lag and really bad traction and people still enjoy that mode. Then again there is more variety in that game since you build your own vehicles.

will be there a sales for christmas
BrandonBranderson replied to Kariiim's topic in General Discussion Archive
Out of curiosity I converted the currency value 6000 EGP = $334.99 USD 45000 EGP = $2512.42 USD That's rough man, only advice I can offer would be to save up for a while until you have enough for a good one. You could still get one that's more than decent enough to play APB fairly well for somewhere around 18000 EGP depending on what's actually available in your country. Despite being an unoptimized mess, APB doesn't require the latest and greatest top of the line gear to play it.
