Sniperturtle replied to Donjae's topic in General Discussion Archive
Yeah, because nobody is playing SHAW and HVR any more. -
Let's write good stuff about APB
Sniperturtle replied to Ellix's topic in General Discussion Archive
The 3 seconds i get to play at 101 FPS in between the microstutters. -
Random disconnects to login screen, Crash on respawn screen
Sniperturtle replied to demonoid's topic in PC
If you're still having trouble with this stop the VivoxVoiceService.exe. Eliminates 90% of all sudden instant disconnects. The remaining 10%... no idea. -
Random disconnects to login screen, Crash on respawn screen
Sniperturtle replied to demonoid's topic in PC
Getting this too, like the whole time. Especially during the final stages of missions today. Saw a teammate disappear from game just like that during a final mission stage as well, and forum here seems to confirm i am not alone with this. Most notably the characters disappear instantly and your account doesn't stay in used mode, which suggests that the problem is server side. -
Engine Update IS the worst tha happened to APB
Sniperturtle replied to Resine's topic in General Discussion Archive
The engine upgrade is not so much about "saving the game" as it is about making progress. The "community choosen fixes" have turned this game into a heap of trash (yes they only listened to the people they wanted to listen to). I fear democracy wont really help fixing this game - so... let's make progress, aight? Yeah, that'd be very easy to fix actually. Keep players segregated based on their experience and skill level. And make kills the most dominant factor in threat determination. -
I WANT THIS HOW MUCH G1C TO THIS TRUCK 4 SLOTS???
Sniperturtle replied to Farmiga's topic in General Discussion Archive
Who are those? -
Uhm, to be honest... this is all very confusing... Does the old rule regarding goodbye threads still stand? ... well, aside from that... it took you a bit of disregard by some people to get you to uninstall? Like, out of all things, THAT is your reason???

why people get crazy over ntech ursus?
Sniperturtle replied to foscor77's topic in General Discussion Archive
I didn't compare anything, but you can substitute for it, duh. Point is: You don't give away your only Volcano for an Ursus. -

Sniperturtle replied to foscor77's topic in General Discussion Archive
I would trade Ursus for a Volcano, if i didn't have both. You can substitute for an Ursus with another N-Tec or any other HVR/DMR - but a volcano is something else. -
What Are you Guys hopeing for with engine upgrade?
Sniperturtle replied to Specia's topic in General Discussion Archive
I hope it'll arrive before i die. -
That's a massive understatement. If you want to bring friends into the game, their presence should be the reward in itself.

About the Chinese player/developer thing
Sniperturtle replied to trashpanda's topic in General Discussion Archive
They do love PUBG for sure, no idea if it's PRC or ROC people though. But there's many of them. -
If he abandons just a millisecond before you get opposition that might actually happen (but very rarely). Usually if you get a mission right after a member of your team abandons that means that a match has become possible that was not possinble before due to said member raising the teams strength above all possible combinations the server tried to come up with. I wouldn't put it past the server's state of garbage though to proceed with a matchup even if a member abandoned just a few milliseconds before, it should still give you the option to call backup however.

Sniperturtle replied to trashpanda's topic in General Discussion Archive
More like they'll buy the game, and impose the most massive censorship the PRC can come up with. But maybe they'd do the engine upgrade, they have enough people to pull that off. -
An honest discussion about APB
Sniperturtle replied to EerieEric's topic in General Discussion Archive
No, people killing you with an N-Tec in 0.9 secs with 5 perfectly placed shots from 70m through a bridge railing is perfectly normal. Landing 4 perfect hits with an Act 44 at 50m on a briefly visible and moving target in less than a second is perfectly normal. Dodging every shot your opponent fires at you while retaining perfect aim and still moving in an area not bigger than 2 meters is perfectly normal. Spinning around wildly to kill 3 opponents who come at you from 3 different sides in short succession at different ranges with a PMG and not missing a single shot - perfectly normal. Git gud and uninstall. -
If i used crosshair am i going to be banned?
Sniperturtle replied to UnwelcomeD's topic in General Discussion Archive
Listen to the man... erm... squirrel. Maybe you wont get banned, or not instantly, but there is no guarantee. 3rd party software is bannable. Slapping something onto your monitor is okay though, you can even buy crosshairs for that purpose on Amazon. -
Game is already dead, the chinese would - if any - milk the last drips out of it. I doubt it would even return on investment at the current state it's in. All the saviour hype when LO took over, a year in things have never been so bleak for APB.

are bronzes allowed to play yet?
Sniperturtle replied to postalgril's topic in General Discussion Archive
In the past we used to say: "Well let them go on and get deep gold, then they can go and play in silver district with the other cheaters." Now... you have to play with them again and again and again... BTW: How do I get gold in a mission where i end up with 3-9, and 0 comleted objectives????? Are you bloody serious? And it's not like the problem of dethreating is solved. Golds will still dethreat to up their team strength. And to think i actually gave you money... for destroying the game... -
Best weapon for a no-skill like me?
Sniperturtle replied to blockblack's topic in General Discussion Archive
If you have 500 IQ tactics as you claim... you shouldn't have a problem to overcome your opponents despite shitty aim. Grenades, backstabs, flanking manouvers and faked flanking manouvers, timed combined attacks, and if all fails... just go sit in an armored van and drive in circles... >.< Anyways, to answer your question: You probably want to get what every "pro-player" crutches on, an ATAC Patroller. Oh, by the way: If you burst fire your aim should improve by 1000% - guaranteed. Just avoid going full auto with any weapon other than an SMG, and even with SMGs it's usually not a good thing to do. 0.5 - 0.7 second bursts should get the best result. Practise to burst fire and allow your target reticule to center again inbetween shots, get the best firecylce for the weapon you plan to use and muscle-memorize it precisely before running out there trying to "pro". But the way it sounds, you'll just have to bite the bitter fruit and play a few matches with semi-auto weapons like the Obir or the DMR to learn how to properly track and predict target movement. Same thing there, you don't actually need to track them though. Not getting hit is all the point of dodging around, no matter how much they jump and freak around though if they want to get rid of you they will have to stop for a brief moment to take aim and shoot. As most of their movements are pretty much automated they will often become rather predictable, and you can capitalise on that by just resting your crosshair where they will appear and pre-fire if they attempt to best match the cyclic rate of their weapon. It's not so much about being on target 100% of the time as it is to not waste your bullets into thin air and being forced to reload when they finally expose themselves to finish you off. So, instead of attempting to follow them around with your aim just wait for them to step into it, and make sure your bullets count by hitting that trigger only when you should. -
Don't think the APB community is overly toxic. There is that bitter humor at times and a bit of a bite, but compared to other games i think APB is fairly "mature". There is a load of wankers, you add them all to your ignorelist permanently and you wont have problems any more. That said, the game is at times really aggravating. Stuff doesn't work out the way you want, your computer stutters just that very moment when you have to place the final shot, odd physics cause your car to do weird stuff... the list of annoyances is long. So 9/10 i don't take it personal when people go mad, neither should anyone else. On the ramraids: 8k is nothing, literally. I used to do ramraids up to 80k per run, each run taking around 30 minutes to complete. But there is no actual point in ramraiding opposed to missions, you can make similar cash in missions and learn a lot more. If you want to ramraid, i guess green district is for you (yes i know there are dethreaters that go there with the express purpose of crashing low threat ram-raiders).
