Gonna be honest, I have not once in my 7 years of playing APB seen anyone use the LCR and do well. I do a hell of a lot better with the ISSR-a than the LCR due to its crazy hard damage. Whenever I see someone using it (which is rare) they always end up switching to something else halfway through the mission because they keep getting killed. It's just not a viable gun.

I think it'd be neat if we could have a tickbox in the editor when applying symbols to clothing or vehicles to make them glow in the dark. They would behave like the glow in the dark weapon skins, look normal in the light, but have a kinda faint but not too weak glow in the dark.

I eat food. A little more than what's necessary. Might have undesired results eventually.

I wish matte paint was just a tick box like metallic is.

I'm all for a new district n' all, but locking players out of it based on rank is a big no-no, even if the population is there to support it. A game's progression should never be designed around cheaters. On the district itself, I don't think a New York based district would be too great. New York is just a grid layout with the only change of scenery being central park, and that's boring. Chicago could work though.

Yup this is something my friends always complained about when they ride with me. Not that I listen to music, but that the volume can't be adjusted for passengers. It'd be nice if it would sync the volume too.

It would also be nice if they made it clearer when a weapon is a reskin. Like putting reskins of free guns in a category of their own and excluding them from the main sections or something. Or maybe even having the 3 slot variant of the free gun on Armas, and have a check box on the listing for which reskin you would like. I know all the descriptions say "Functionally identical to ________" but there's a chance people can miss that.

Yes please. I don't want to keep buying the whole pack just for the 4x4 and Rhino kit on each character.

For #1 it sounds like you want the game to go back to the way it was in RTW when pedestrians could witness you committing a crime, then enforcers would get dispatched against you. #4 Dragging bodies isn't possible because all ragdolls are handled clientside and don't appear in the same position for everyone.

This again? Shouldn't GMs be up to date with everything Matt posts?

Because that's what a lot of us were when this screen was in the game On the topic though, Matt said he likes it a lot more than the current one and he wants to bring it back, but he had to check on music rights (The instrument tracks were written for the game so it shouldn't be an issue) and had to find all the "moving parts", by which I just assume he means the functionality of the old menu. He also said that he hates the idea of going through a loading screen to get to a loading screen. I imagine this is a really low priority thing for them but I can't wait for it to be returned. I hate getting blasted with a fog horn every time I start the game. Why it was removed in the first place: G1 wanted to show off their shiny new Scaleform UI, and it hadn't been implemented anywhere else in the game yet at that point other than the login screen and the options menu. So they posed some characters like dolls in really stiff unnatural poses, threw em' in a scene, put Farf's music over it and called it good.

Awesome, wasn't expecting the Armas overhaul that soon. Looking forward to epidemic! Looks like I'm gonna be playing two different APB events, Epidemic on PC and Headless Horseman on PS4 because I'm really curious of how that looks on 3.5.

It being dark enough for that to happen would be going way too far. That would be getting to the point of storms impairing vision. I just want a nice little variance in weather once in a while to make the world seem more alive. Having dug through APB's package files there are a lot of cloudy skybox textures that don't see any use anymore since overcast was removed. There's even a rainbow and a lightning sprite. I don't think that the intent of adding rain to APB would be creepyness since, well... APB isn't a horror game. Rain at night actually has some potential to look really pretty with all of the city lights, especially if that light pollution effect I always complain about being removed comes back.

As far as rain goes, if they would just go for a really light rain then I don't think much else would really need to be done other than making the lighting a little darker, some thin fog, occasional flash of lightning, and sound effects like some wind and a little bit of thunder in the distance. If it's just a light rain then puddle decals or wet roads wouldn't really be needed. The game used to have (I think random) overcast days but G1 removed that for performance reasons if I remember correctly. Again though, that'd probably be something that would have been RTW's custom code, so it's not surprising if it caused performance issues since just their fog itself causes performance problems as is. If LO were to use a new weather system we probably wouldn't have any negative side effects from rain. That's just a guess though. I've never played a game where rain caused my performance to drop at all.

Yeah it was something that G1 was quick to patch, but it was like 2011 I think, so they hadn't started going downhill yet. It was when the game still looked pretty. What about the test districts? The weapon stats weren't the only thing that could be changed. For the RTW districts they even lowered the jump height to what it was in RTW while the other districts were unaffected. It was just a joke, but it would be fun and different to just show up once in a while. Maybe replace the test districts with stupid fun rulesets while there's nothing new to test?

Anyone remember that one night where every car had Nitro 3 constantly active and even crazier shit would happen if you actually used nitro 3, like flipping a Vegas from a standstill. Kurai's could wheelie, I don't remember seeing any Vaquero's but I can only imagine how crazy they would have been since I'm pretty sure it was before their handling was changed. Always Nitro districts pls.

Disabling friendly fire would just be plain stupid. That's just a flat out lie and you know it. There's Counterstrike as Martin said, there's R6 Seige, there's pretty much every objective based multiplayer shooter in history other than Overwatch and Team Fortress 2. I also find it hard to believe that you're getting tk'd in every mission unless you're just being unaware of your surroundings and running in front of teammates while they're shooting or driving. Disabling friendly fire would remove the incentive to be careful around your teammates, which would have a very negative effect on the game over all. The playerbase isn't declining because of teamkilling. It's happening because first of all the game is about 8 years old, some people hated the weapon rebalance, and some people are just waiting till the engine upgrade to play again. *sigh* Have you seen any single update that Little Orbit has released since they took over? Lets take a look at what they've added so far. -Battle Eye -New weapon -Trading System -Territory Control mode *Will be coming soon* -Weapon Rebalance Not to mention all of the little fixes they've done. All of that in the 5 months they have owned the game. That's more than G1 released in 4 years. So don't even try to say they haven't done anything and that nothing has changed. A new map is probably the most complicated thing they could make right now (And they said that they are working on one by the way). Blame G1 and the console versions existing for us not having the engine upgrade yet.

Didn't G1 try upping the tickrate a little at one point and ambulances started doing wheelies n' shit? I might be remembering that completely wrong but I specifically remember ambulances doing something weird when they messed with the servers at one point.

I hope the LCR keeps its RoF buff. It never really was a great gun. I loved the model and the way it handled, but it just wasn't very useful at any range.

Wouldn't rate previous post + cringey Fortnite rap battle so that would be a 0/10 from me. So Gold's post actually gets a rating I'll give it an 8/10. Really nice chill synthwave. This song was on Ministry's 2nd album. The previous song I posted was mostly to give some context for this one in how hard of a shift they had from their 1st to 2nd album.

I use the AKG K240 headphones plus a Fiio e10k amp/dac. It has an analog bass boost switch that fills in the bass the headphones are kinda lacking in, without it making the bass sound all muddy. Clearest sounding headphones I've ever used and they're semi open back too. They're not too pretty, but they're also the most comfortable headphones I've ever used. I originally bought a used pair from the 80s by accident and it took about 2 years for them to die, so I immediately went to Amazon and ordered a brand new pair and that was probably about 5 years ago now. Still on my 2nd pair. Just got the amp/dac recently, and with the bass boost they sound even better than they did before. They are going for about $65 on Amazon at the moment. https://www.amazon.com/AKG-K240STUDIO-Semi-Open-Studio-Headphones/dp/B0001ARCFA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1540225606&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=akg+k240&psc=1&smid=A2LXBKOLL3J3K6

Here's an oldie from 2014

Anyone seen this video? I based a song on it. Watch the video first.

Nice video! The nighttime visuals are definitely a step up from the shit we have now with our dark blue fog n junk, but I still think it could be better. It's just missing something. Ya know, that one effect I always rant about. I also like the slight green tint (And how it's actually the lights, not just an ugly overlay like current daytime) It gives it a kind of Fight Club-ish feel.

Aeronaut is sending civilans into the fucking void for science. Who would have thought, a quick flash of your badge was all it took to revoke someone's ability to exist.
