That's pretty much how I feel about it too. I just hate that they added it to existing guns. I'm cool with all of the ones they added later like the Norseman series and the Juggernaut guns, the Growl is really fun to drive too. I don't have enough experience with the Misery or COBR-A to know how to feel about them.

I used to have a lot of fun with the M-1922. It's not fun anymore. Hell, any gun that they added variable recoil to stopped being fun. I REALLY hope the guy they brought back to be in charge of weapon balance isn't the one that came up with the variable recoil idea.

Not really a fan of the idea, I like the system the way it is now. A 10 minute cool down would be WAY too long. You would probably only be able to spawn it once per mission, twice if you're lucky. The price of spawning cars isn't bad. If you spawn a Vegas 15 times, then it might negate whatever reward you would get for winning the mission, but you still have your personal car the whole time. It's a money sink, just like buying ammo. You have to pay to express your character anyway, so why is this any different? We all know that cars are made of paper in this game, and they can get destroyed unbelievably quick by someone who has an Alig or a stray grenade. If you were to lose your car when pulling up to the first objective then you wouldn't be able to "express" your character for a large majority of the time spent in the mission. Sure vehicles are a good way to express yourself, but they're also a functional tool. And I believe you should have to pay for something as useful as a vehicle unless you take one off the street.

Thanks Matt! Glad to see this is being taken care of Ooooh a celebration you say? Can't wait to see what it is!

Jesus Matt, you almost gave me a heart attack. I looked like my profile pic for a second there. FC in Asylum is one of my favorite parts of APB. Please don't take that away. OC is just a copy of the normal game without matchmaking, so please just replace that instead.

They didn't though. Matt said he's not giving exact dates specifically because of this. He doesn't want to give people unrealistic expectations, so he never gave us any overly-optimistic dates. Besides, even if they had promised the game would be fixed by now things go wrong sometimes. Plus it's APB, the game where if one thing is changed, something else completely unrelated will also change as a side effect, and that's not just the fault of G1 or LO not knowing what they're doing. You can thank RTW for bestowing the gift of spaghetti code upon us.

Expardon me? You shudgyerfuggup.

I agree with the whole "results first" bit, but I don't really get the logic behind the slaughter house part. Cows go to a slaughter house to get slaughtered, but customers don't usually go to stores to get kicked out, so it's normal for a store to not want to kick out their customers because that's their source of income.

0:32 "Ow wow reh ruh rah roo" I'd never be able to play with these settings, and that's coming from someone who regularly revisits Quake 3 lol.

APB is a really tricky game to patch. If you change one thing, something completely unrelated will also change. One year, the removal of the 4th of July event caused the mods on a preset Vegas 4x4 to change. LO is still learning how to work with this game, they've only had it for about two months, give em some time to get their bearings. Why did you say "So called" about the DDOS attacks? That's just what's happening. For some reason some douchebags out there just wanna take this game down for good, or they think it's funny.

Normally I'd dismiss this argument because it's usually said by whiny college age kids explaining why they're lazy, but in your case it actually is the government's fault lol.

There was a pretty pathetic attempt at a DDOS yesterday. It lasted about 10 minutes and my packet loss never went above 8 and latency stayed around 60 ms, which is only 10 ms worse than usual.

That fad is already starting to die and the market is already over saturated with battle royale games and other games with a BR mode tacked on. Even Crossout added a BR mode. Just make a revamped Anarchy district with objectives and half decent rewards and it'll take the place of a BR mode nicely. I hate the idea of "you died so you're done *kick*" in APB.

9/10 Very nice and fun track to have playing while you're working.

What the hell did this thread turn into? "When's the next patch?" "Arrays always start at 0"

I'd like to see it revert back to being All Points Bulletin, APB for short. The "Reloaded" just looks like it was tacked on.

Ooooh A new vehicle you say? Are we finally getting the Mirage?

:3

Maybe they just dump them at that landfill/junk yard you start out in at the beginning of APB:Retribution. I'd still love to see that place show up in the actual game. Wasn't the building next to New Cross that was removed in favor of a better skate park a supermarket? G1 took away the city's food supply.

Oh, You're Katchwi? That explains this thread. And it's Carbine, not Carabine.

They need to add Portal 2 style jump pads that launch you across the water onto the roof. Only way to balance this spot. Jokes aside this spot does need some tweaking. Way too easy to defend here.

The normal Vegas has a higher top speed than the 4x4. The only reason the acceleration isn't as fast is because it's pretty much doing a burnout and it takes a few seconds for the tires to catch the road and get traction. The 4x4 doesn't do a burnout because it also has the front wheels pulling it and the power is distributed between the front and rear.

The higher suspension is one of my favorite things about the 4x4. Don't change it. Personally I think it looks better than the normal Vegas dragging on the ground.

Compressing the game's files started the decline in performance to begin with. They also encrypted them which made it even worse just so nobody would steal assets anymore because some shitty mobile game used a Cisco model. The file size isn't the issue here. As someone else said, Any file that is compressed needs to be decompressed before it can be used, which takes longer than loading a single large file. A lot of games with huge file sizes run great, and part of that is probably because nothing is compressed. They care about quality and playability more than how much hard drive space it takes up. Simply making the files smaller will not help.

The old anarchy event was great, the only thing I liked about the remake was weapon drop (which should only be used in fight club and anarchy districts, not mission districts imo) Spawning without a primary was just stupid. And please no Battle Royale, it's a trend that is starting to slow down, so by the time it gets finished, it won't be bringing many in. Gawd, the idea of not being able to respawn. Matt did say that they have a ton of content at about the 90% mark though, and that they just require the engine upgrade before they can implement it. Something like Anarchy can just be switched on and off though.
