Worst event ever. Finding those pumpkins was a night mare that I subjected myself to on 4 characters, maybe 5? They should have added like 10 extra but keep the requirement at 150... ah well. I don't ever want to see that event come back, though I don't need to do it again lol.

This is a valid point. Most of those banned players were just playing on rerolls anyway, but it definitely impacted the community's overall perception quite negatively.

This isn't LO's fault.

Feel like LO has good intentions, but at the end of the day is just making things more frustrating for players. And that is not a good thing. @MattScott just add 2FA already and all problems solved while support is absolved from having to deal with "wahh I got hacked/scammed" tickets. Then the playerbase can have nice things and not be frustrated by all these silly restrictions.

Yeah I never noticed anything wrong with it before. We're back to G1's style of fixing things by breaking them lol.

For me, I wasn't calling you bad, or anyone else bad. But it's a fair argument that when 2 people of equal skill face off, OCA vs Ntec in CQC, the OCA will usually win. If an OCA is consistently losing to an Ntec in CQC, then yes, it comes down to a skill differential. That is a valid argument. In my post above, I chose not to say a player 'is bad' because such statements incite argument and obstruct objectivity; I am trying to be objective.

Destroying hip-fire accuracy on the Ntec is about the only thing that will make the masses happy it seems. Though both Shotguns and SMGs have an edge over the Ntec in CQC due to their mobility already. If you're consistently losing to an Ntec in CQC with an SMG, the other player is just better. Course, this has all been said over and over.

Removing threat and letting everyone just play would be far better at this point imo. The only thing I'd like to see is a mechanic preventing mission-lock against the same group after a couple matches.

Good idea if you want to drive more players away. As if it's not already penalizing enough being Gold in this dead game.

You do know lower is better and this is an OCA nerf. I am confused by your logic here? Explain what you mean. OCA nerf is fine, but they should do the PMG at the same time.

What is sarcasm? Was it Flight?

You can deliberate on how much you think a gun's worth, but that is always in flux. Ursus is worth 5m if people are willing to pay for that. It's not "preying" on anyone, not if the person feels said gun is worth that price to them. It makes sense that prices would go up though, considering that a lot of sellers are going to want to avoid the market tax, resulting in much less competition in the marketplace, meaning higher prices. People seem to feel they're entitled to a certain price, just because it was that said price before, but that's not how it works. It's just a seller's market right now.

This is why we can't have nice things. Honestly, who cares at this point. APB has bigger fish to fry.

I want to be the center of attention too! Where do I download?

There should never be a cooldown on sending Legendaries around on your own account. Honestly, I wish they'd let you do this with money too. Then I wouldn't even care about the trading system.

They missed an opportunity with the whole ammo system in this game. As it stands, it's just a chore to keep your ammo topped off. If they greatly lowered reserves, maybe increased prices marginally, it could serve as a mechanic you'd have to consider in your missions. Or it could be even more annoying than it already is.

Really depends on LO and how successful/speedy they are with every thing they try to do. They HAVE to get the PC EU done correctly. They just have to, they can't screw it up. That will likely be their best chance to bring people back. I imagine moving the game to Unreal 4 is going to take quite some time and is 100% dependent on getting 3.5 right and new content right. The goal is ramp up some hype, successfully execute said hype leaving people more excited for future hype, like Unreal 4. They could probably make over the assets in this game in a relatively short time; game could suddenly look great and play great, and that would be the eventuality we'd need to reach. I am a little worried though; I feel like the way the highly request trading feature was implemented was an overall let down. Their first balance patch didn't go to well either. I'm happy they try and they communicate, but they need to be successful in their endeavors.

Further back than that. CSGO is a terrible iteration of Counter-Strike. I'm a purist here.

It's a shame we can't go back to a time when the notion of matchmaking didn't even exist because this was never an issue in the days of Counter-Strike and Team Fortress. Everyone played together, good or bad. Matchmaking has just lead to entitlement and hand-holding instead of just playing.

If they want to protect us, get 2 factor authentication already. That way support can say "too bad" to the ones that don't use it and get bent over.

The main reason trading has been requested was to trade weapons. Putting a 3 day time limit on that seems backwards. Since I've learned it only applies to weapons and cars, I care much less personally since all I want to do is consolidate my wealth onto one character and possibly delete all my extraneous characters. I still think it's a dumb decision to have any limit, again, to mitigate human stupidity.

A cooldown on trading is abysmal. What a terrible decision I hate to say.

So the dreaded shotgun meta is over? Despite the silly sarcasm in this thread, could bring some back. I know I temp quit in order to avoid another shotgun heavy meta.

I do wish everything was account wide, or at least faction wide if account wide didn't make sense (enforcer, criminal exclusives). Legendaries should just be a token for account wide access to that gun instead of mailing. We can dream! Honestly, there is so much damn shit that could be done to improve the quality of life in APB that it could be worth while for them to spend some time here vs developing new stuff. /shrug.

Yeah I've not been interested in playing since the first day the balance update rolled out, and have not played since then. Shotgun meta is my least desired meta. Honestly, I really am surprised they didn't rollback all of the balance changes made save maybe the Yukon nerf that was well-received by most.
