The FAR is amazing when tap fired. You can also full auto at close range, but it doesn't solve all of your problems, you still need to hit your opponent and watch your bloom. The STAR is amazing at close to medium range. You can tap fire at longer distances but it has weaker damage, and up close you can full auto in marksmanship mode to get a consistent kill provided you follow your target well. However, this is where it starts and stops. When you put mods on a STAR, it becomes ineffective. IR3 makes it bloom to high heaven. HS3 makes it so you have to crouch fire to win battles. I think a revamp where level 1 and 2 mods make a comeback would be welcome.

You're not taking on an NTEC at 40m. You're not taking on a Whisper at 20m You're not taking on a Colby at 10m. Youre not taking on a NHVR at 60m. The second you strafe while aiming, you get full bloom. The second you fire more than two bullets at once, you get full bloom. Your recoil knocks your aim off kilter and the fire rate is too slow to manage. The ALIG is a vehicle killer. There's a reason the SHAW was the hacker favourite for quite some time. It blew up vehicles but it definitely knew how to handle pedestrians. Buff the strafe modifier, decrease the recoil and make it tap fire friendly. It doesn't have to be a magical weapon. Just make it useful at medium to long range and absolutely useless up close, like most of its contemporaries. Also, the Medusa is an amazing weapon. You're a sitting duck but at least the weapon has enough damage output for it not to matter.

It's broken as hell. You just need to give it better accuracy for tap fire and make full auto viable for vehicles at close range. It is very bad at combat.

The ACT 44 is exceptional. RFP still needs some love accuracy wise. Buff the ALIG. Nerf the Colby 45. Fire rate.

The FAR is exceptional and it has an identity. This is the problem with the STAR, that it doesn't improve with modifications and has a ridiculous bloom.

It's the perfect gun but it really is outshined by most other weapons and mods break it. The STAR needs some adjustments to fit the current meta. Its damage and cyclic rate is great but it needs more range and especially needs work to fit the mods without it getting bloomed to hell or wildly inaccurate while hip firing at close range.

It has terrible range and accuracy. The description says you have to fire it from a braced position but that is largely ineffective for what should be an SMG. The only weapons you do that with are the LMGs. It should be something you can hip fire on the move like the rest of the SMGs. Why do you have to put such awkward mods on it? Does it use HS3 or RS1? Does it use IR3? It is largely unclear. The weapon design for it is awful. It's a troll weapon.

They really need to decide if the Tommy Gun is an SMG or a rifle. The mods for it make little sense.

Please stop quoting me.

Frog should be what the colby is and colby should be what the RSA is.

The Colby is still too powerful for what it is. Range isn't an issue so much as the rate of fire and quick reload.

This makes much more sense. I rescind my comment.

I'm so sorry but why does every post of yours have such inconsistent font size? Do you really need to crank it to the max and minimum? Please friend. Please.

I have very much been of the mindset that they should add one slot secondaries. This could all be prevented.

I think they should globalise JT among characters, as well as remove account bound and character bound on the JT store. Some of the prices there I feel do need streamlining.

Thank you for the clarification. Praying for: The long promised bug fix on the RFP Talon A well deserved buff on the ALIG base accuracy and accuracy while walking modifier Some balancing for the STAR (with mods attached) A buff for the percussion grenade A buff for LTL weaponry (particularly the pistol) A buff on the range (and potentially spread) on the Raptor 45 catalogue Bullet tracers.

Great updates, thank you! Can we please have some clarification on the following: Radius at Ten Meters Walk Modifier Ramp Distance Minimum Damage Range Changes are always welcome but it may be beneficial to explain what these terms mean so everyone understands.

This is wishful thinking, but in the future here are some things I would like to see: Weapon knockback/knockdown: It would be interesting to see some weapons push people and objects. Regeneration fields: A visible indicator that a player is healing, like floating green crosses. Wounded animation/state: Holding arms, shoulders etc New door opening animations: Shoulder barge/ pushing with both hands etc Faction specific weaponry: Since some weapons are reskins, having one belong to one faction and one belong to another would be really interesting. For example: NTEC for Criminals and Joker CR-5 for Enforcers, with the option to switch with either. Smoke grenades. Hostage missions. Please let me know your thoughts.

The other thread is closed so I am going to respond to what you said there here. It is abundantly clear that no amount of talking or explaining will get through to you, which is exactly why no SPCT or Moderator has bothered to reach out to you to talk about your ban or any steps you can take to reverse the decision. You've said you made a ticket and it was closed so that really should have been the end of it. Little Orbit clearly has no intention of debating with you or wasting time trying to get you to understand the gravity of your actions even when they gave you multiple chances previously. The EULA and Rules of Conduct state: "9.4 You shall not (and you agree to not) generate any User Generated Content, or use the Game in a way, that: 9.4.1 infringes the rights of any other person or entity (including, without limitation, their Intellectual Property Rights) (and references to "any other person or entity" shall include Little Orbit); 9.4.2 breaches any Applicable Laws; 9.4.3 in Little Orbit's absolute discretion, Little Orbit considers: (a) is defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, harmful, abusive, harassing, hateful, invasive of another's privacy, sexually explicit, or offensive (whether in relation to race, sex, religion or otherwise) or denigrating to anyone's reputation or general standing (whether or not actionable);" The relevant parts here are highlighted in bold. Regardless of what you may feel personally, this is a contract which you have signed and agreed to as a condition of playing the game. If you don't like it, you have the option of withdrawing and not playing. Irrefutable fact. Right above that paragraph it states: "9.1 You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Game is governed by Little Orbit's rules of conduct. You agree that when using the Game you will comply with: 9.1.1 all local and international laws in force from time to time applicable to the Game (including, without limitation, all laws of your country of residence in force from time to time applicable to the Game, and all rights or duties that apply to you as a matter of common law or as a matter of contract law, and all rights or duties that apply to you in connection with any fiduciary relationship (including, without limitation, any rights or duties that apply to you in respect of inside, proprietary and confidential information)) ("Applicable Laws"); and 9.1.2 Little Orbit's rules of conduct. 9.2 You acknowledge that the rules set out in this condition 9 are non-exhaustive and that Little Orbit reserves the right to determine in its absolute discretion what conduct it considers inappropriate in relation to the Game. Little Orbit further reserves its right to exercise any or all of its rights (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have) set out in condition 13 below, including the right to permanently remove User Generated Content and/or terminate a GamersFirst Account in respect of your use of the Game. 9.3 You acknowledge that you are responsible for all acts and omissions which occur under your name, any other names that have been created under your GamersFirst Account (for example character names) and/or your GamersFirst Account." This could not be any clearer. Follow the law of your country, follow Little Orbit's rules. Don't be abusive and take responsibility for what comes out of your account. No matter which way you want to cut it, you violated the rules and this is the second time (that we are aware of) that this has happened. The last time we spoke, I said that you have to take responsibility for what you do and say because you may not like the consequences. It is clear you have chosen to misbehave and now you've reached the upper limit. Reading your posts, it sounds like you are angry and if I was in your shoes I would be angry too. However, deflecting the blame onto other people and trying to use other examples of what could be worse (hacks/cheats) or bringing up other websites (4chan, reddit) does not help your case. 4chan and reddit are separate entities with exclusive Terms of Service and User Agreements. Their rules do not apply here. So, if you prefer to behave that way without repercussion, you are more than welcome to migrate there. For me, it is sad because you come off as narcissistic and unwilling to take responsibility for yourself. If something bad happens, you will argue it is because the person who took that decision is sensitive, weak and easily offended and therefore you should absolved of the bulk of the consequence. On the flip side, if players are cheating and ruining the game, they are also being toxic and taking action against them falls just as much in line as you being permanently banned for your behaviour. Nobody will come on the forums to complain about being banned for using cheats because they have the simple choice of not using them to begin with. You have the simple choice of not using language and designing your character in a way which directly breaches the contract you have signed with Little Orbit. Try and see this from a neutral perspective. You clearly want to play here and nobody wants to put up with mistreatment during a game they play for their enjoyment. Take the time learn from this and please do better. If everybody is telling you that the way you are acting is the problem and you refuse to listen, you will keep repeating this same loop. Please have a blessed day.

I'm not arguing the quality of the updates. I'm pointing out that we have had several meaningful updates and what you have said is misleading.

you're such a whiner holy shit

64 bit update EAC recent weapon balances uhhhh

The only way I see this working if we allow crim vs crim and enforcer vs enforcer matches. Criminals fight each other, vying for control of the city. Enforcers fight corrupt enforcers etc. It makes sense. Having factions split by contact and map control would really take APB forward.

Someone mentioned this but I think a weapon balance is long overdue. Some of the weaker weapons need to be buffed and the max player health needs increasing.
