    To treat the upgrade as a new vehicle unlock would may be technically possible however this may implicate trading and market place in the future, Any system which tries to monitor in game content may not give a accurate valuation.

     

    An example of how this could be bad would be if a actual trading system was added to APB, say it gave the players guidelines or suggestion on to the price of a vehicle but then would show the vehicle's original value because the game still thinks it's a 1 slot vehicle after having all slots upgraded.

    A Nulander pioneer with no slots is $40k, with all 4 slots unlocked then the value is $1mil. Say the game had a firm selling price range to prevent scamming in the future then cars would suffer from an extremely heavy loss in value on the market place.

    But that's 1 scenario that I came up with, there may be other implications.

     

    I really want upgradable slots as much as anyone else but If GamersFirst said it can't be done, then it's unlikely... I'd like to see Little Orbit prove them wrong though still!

    it wouldn't be too hard to link the price of a vehicle and its slots. But I think the more difficult issues they said is how the vehicles are safed because they are saved as complex and compressed strings including the customisation. A way to change that would have to unlock customisation from that string and give item properties some seperate characteristics. But dunno about how much of this is true, or how it actually looks, like.

    Most common reasons:

    1. Entertainment: Sometimes hackers just get a kick out of it. Lizard Squad is a popular hacking group. They took down Xbox and Playstaton networks one christmas because they found it funny that all the kids that got new gaming consoles for Christmas couldn't download required updates to play their new consoles.
    2. Leverage/Ransom: A hacker/group may DDoS a company or service until that company pays some ransom (money, bitcoins, etc). This is frequently seen in Healthcare where private patient information is at stake and can completely destroy a hospitals reputation and trust with its patients.
    3. Market Competition: A hacker/group may DDoS a competitor in hopes users will switch to their service. As a made up example, a hacking group may DDoS Walmarts online shopping site in hopes users will go to Amazon instead.
    4. Gaming: A hacker may DDoS another gamer to make them unable to compete/play, thus granting them victory via absence of competition.
    5. Sabotage: A DDoS attack can result in loss of revenue for a company or drastic cost increases for better security and network capacity.
    6. Personal: Sometimes it is simply just a grudge against someone or another company. Making their life a hell for awhile brings the attacker joy.

    From the old Forum i just gonna copy this. it was mostly about the headphones, but also is about other items

     

    I am not sure what your Engine upgrade will include at all, but maybe while doing that you can consider having a look at this again since this seems to be some deeper technical stuff anyways. It's not a bug but mostly a game behavior, but it would be cool, if the Engine upgrade gets rid of that effect or you could tweak some clothings to lower the possibility of it appearing.

     


    As making Lily's original outfit I recognized her lower part of the skirt beeing blurry all the time. Since the skirt was the last piece of clothing I added, I never noticed the possible reason. But while making her Asylum colorsheme outfit showed some strange things happening.

    Theory:

    1. When your characters clothing reaches a specific amount of Polygons, some clothing parts resolution (and details) are getting reduced.
    2. This is not related to the complexity bar of the whole outfit that shown in the designer.

    First lets compare the outfits:

    No1. Skirt shown correctly

    lBRNOEu.png

    No 2 + 3 Skirt gets bricky on the lower parts

    KIlxYYF.png
    P3MphLz.png
    see how the front views white lines of the skirt are blurry.

    I tried serveral combination of clothings to see why and when its happening.

    It's not the complexity bar causing this:

    proof:

    No4. low complexity but blurry (removed the top for its 100 layer symbol)
    42shJ89.png

    if you compare this with No.1, you see No.1 is showing the skirt texture correctly but has a lot higher complexity on the bar.

    It turned out that the headphones especially in combination with the high heels cause this nearly instant. Its not only the headphones causing this as:

    No.6: headset but not blurry
    kJcXTEb.png

    This brought up my theory that the headphones do have a heavy impact on this while the high heels have very less effect.
    And a closer view on the headphones revealed that it has an increadible high amount of details.
    Especially the area where the part around the head meets the earshells? (sry don't know the english wording here correctly) has an ridiculous amount of detail also consisting of many polygons. Well this is what I guess, but seeing the model does indicate this. And therefore I think the amount of polygons is a highly deciding factor when textures of specific cloth get turned blurry. This is not only happening to the flounced skirt, it also happens to symbols you add to some other cloth. e.g. headphones themselves are affected too.

    So my suggestion is removing the part where you can see through the headphones from front to rear. The headphones details are rarely something people notice. And no one looks at this while running and gunning around. So it is really an unnecassary detail especially compared to the sacrifice of quality on other clothes.
    Fill it and maybe make it look like the white headphone in the middle (just a random imgur pic with gapless headphone)

    Its not affecting much of Lily's outfit, but people who may use more complex symbols on their skirts or other affected clothes together with the headset will feel a huge difference.
    I think it's time to optimize this, even if I have to say the earphones are a masterpiece in creation. But as said before, these tiny details are not worth the quality sacrifice on highly visible parts of the character.

    maybe also optimize some other clothings causing similar efffects very soon by having very much polygons. But I can't tell which other cloth this may be. Lily nearly only has this kind of outfit just with a few different colorschemes.

    Edit:
    additional thought + pic of the headphones in detail

    But the phones in detail:

    basically the second headband part between the gaps could easily be removed and the phones would still look good.
    Not sure how much this may help, and if other parst may also need some optimization. But I feel there are way more polygons than needed.

    Regards

    have animations been removed? What animations have been removed? Why would they do that in the first place?

     

     Nothing has been removed.

     

    Lily just wants to be able to dab emote on people.

    Maybe LO can do that with the engine upgrade.

     

    I remember G1 said every car (so each slot variant) is just an own item making it impossible.

     

    But since 1 slot and a 4 slot only differ in exact this ability upgrading should tehcnicall not be too hard.

    Yes and no, bring back the old -x% rewards + u get 0 points for any of ur roles if you are out of your own threat district, then we will see if people "just wanna have fun" or wanted to farm noobis for roles.

    I know the answer but i still want them high silvers who bash noobs to suffer a little too 

     

    would make sense but those 50 goldies will cry hard on the forum saying "BUT BUT mah population to low to play "and get allowed to play vs one thread lower" and they will cry so hard and multiple times daily that it will happen, G1 2x listened to the vocal minority of those cryhards and thats what made us have what we have.

    Not much, it needs to show it works properly first.

     

    We are going to see a lot, "Oh noez, false banned, pls unban even if PB and FF also falsely banned me" topics.

     

    Cheaters won't change, no matter how good the anticheat is. but what battle eyes needs to do is to make sure these people cannot instantly reroll again. Otherwise banning cheaters slower as they can reroll will not improve anything at all. and thats why I am not so excited, because I have my doubts about this.

    So a big, 2 barreled, I'm aware one is cosmetic, automatic shotgun doesn't scream movie like, to you?

    There's car surfer, you're literally standing on top of a car with full stability and able to place well aimed shots. You're worried they would add MORE movie shooting things? Hell, even Counter Strike has it and some players find it viable.

    I already told about car surfer, and yes true ogre is the same, their additions are resulst of a somewhat clueless G1 that didn't had any new assets left and just released what was left in the files which initially didn't make it into the game (for a reason).

    The questions is what to do to make it better. But whatever they do the yneed to do it AFTER the unbanning and anti cheat impelmention to not make cheaters and their actions mess it up too much.

     

    And probably if possible to do, after a district crossing matchmaking.

     

    @ken2, back when joining a bronze gave you -90% rewards, peopel weren't stopped to do that, because they were famring roles on the sweet bronzes and rekking bronzes 30:2 in a winning missiosn was still paying more money than getting just some louzy 10:10 with a possible loss.  So motivating by different payouts didn't work, trying this again will lead to the same result. What most people want in this game is brag about killing and dominating others and you are not going to get this motivation rid of them.

     

    Well, except, the gold rush event did make poeple forget about this motivation, but this event made soem of the G1 stuff taking their hat and go, probably because that event broke any businesscase that was made prior to the event.

    well, shooting duaklwield is a movie shitthing, dualwielding is not proper way to shoot guns. What you see is just 2 people posing, for looking cool.  APB still had that attemp to look a bit like a more realistic (less arcadish) anarchistic city theme.

    arcadish as in not very lore friendly, we have snipers that don't headshot because a TPS headshot game would be just unbalancable broken. Thats a mechanic-wise given necessarity. TPS + one shot wepaosn is a HUGE problem for TPS games. because the defender hiding is in a massive advantage. FPS games don't have this issue, they are fair for both because both LOS  will hppen at the same time. But lurking at someonr around a corner or above a wall is just balance mechanical wise a much different topic.remember whe the osmaw fot a windup?  because instant suiciders were neither fun nor making any sense by gameplay wise reasons.

     

    Stuff like happy landing and car surfer, they indeed do feel a bit arcadish, which I don't like that much.

     

    I mean look at GTA, that game is pure arcade,

    Who is "we"? does that include the hordes of silvers not knowing how mechanics work that call p2w at every corner?

     

    Honestly, it will be difficult again to balance weapons. There people who want their beloved niche guns being stronger. There are people who have no idea about mechanics and wepaons. How would LO be able to know whos feedback is valid and made by proper people with knoledge and experience and those havign just no idea? Also, lets nt forget all the valuable feedbakc of those "enhanced" members of thecommunity. The Last Balance was also influenced by someone triggerbotting in the SPCT. Great balance feedback with such proper assitance.

     

    So far all nerfs/buffs have hardly helped balance they just killed of soem weapons, anyone seen with a Tommy recently? after the nerf the M1922 was basicalyl dead. but usually most iof this is because the N-tec can still fill other guns niches way too good in cqc and long range. I'd say also nerf N-tecs magazine. You can way too easily spray and pray at people @80m preventing them to heal and constantly take damage even under a cars tiny slit.

     

    The DMR -AV's issues is that any current meta vehicle has too much health, so we also need some vehicle balance, because seeing espacio, vegas (4x4) and pioneer in 95% usage is also very broken.
