I agree, the mods hardly add something of value. Especially the extended magazine is something I don't like. You don't ever need that many bullets, you will be dead before that, but you sacrifice reload time for this.

with the low player count the small FC that only needed 2 per side to start was great to get some quick and fun action. also, we hadn't that topic for a while I think.

the real question is: Sid "vanilla" you want to go back to, had more weapon balance? I don't know how true vanilla was since I started playing in 2012. If not we just swap one more or less balanced system with the current more or less balanced one. But I admit I enjoyed some of the guns having more range, like using the CCG to snipe people at the rooftop of B(e)acon.

if you remove the crosshair it makes things worse. First, it grants advantages for characters with lesser visuals (small females, as nude as possible), because they will have HUGE advantages behind cover due to the one trying to shoot them, not being able to know anymore if a shot can hit or not, compared to a big male that clearly shows body parts. So removing the red crosshair causes more imbalance between legit players. until everyone plays the same nude female small character. Further everyone with cheats that show hitboxes gets an even bigger advantage because they have their omnipresent indicator while now the legit players do not have the ret dot as indicator anymore. And so I doubt this truly solves more problems than it causes, and in the end some or even many of those who use triggerbots will just swap to other "enhancements". because other shooters make hitboxes model dependent, which is for fairness reasons different in APB.

Not sure if it's worth it, its kinda dead content if you ask me. have on, never use it.

if the Eu will work well and performance significantly increase, the content update will be an important part in helping to bump up playercount. But it really means you need to iron out the flaws that the engine upgrade might have. I am not sure what purpose EMP will have, surely it helps dragging stuff like vegas and the Pioneer/citadell down to the level of the other cars when it comes to "health" but it seems limited in time, so it won't be a proper choice over a nade that just blows them up. also, for the act 44 or RSA, have you tried shooting at that ranges? instead of altering tkk of the rfp to make them more "competitive" it would be nice to bump their accuracy, even the act 44 Golden marksman, which is more accurate as the standard act 44 it hits unreliable at 70m. That is it's major problem. and while the RSA is more accurate and therefore having less of an issue it really isn't working well on those ranges due to unreliable accuracy. Especially with partial cover they are more lottery than skill to hit.

yeah too many questionable situations, What if the troll takes a dumptruck and blocks an objective? ok, the truck then phases out, but what If he countertrolls and just steps into cars someone hides behind? instant loss of cover? with similar ideas I could construct a big list of trolly up to evil griefing scenarios. So we just fix one consistent mechanic that can be used for griefing for an inconsistent non logical mechanic that also can be used for griefing.

but you are random people too, so why would we even trust your "do not trust random people" oh god i miss the trollface emote so much q.q Well, 30 mins for a legendary is not much.

what purpose has the character design? FUN, and style. and that's the most important purpose. But I wonder with the engine upgrade if suspension could finally be suspension and not forced spring pumpers, because suspension should cover pumps and not make your car fly.

that won't help, because civillian cars without someone sitting in them can just be blown up, we would need to fill the entire server with only, "nice" people so no one does this. then we cram as much cars into that garage that we can find, but we also need to take care that they do nto despawn. So it really is a task with some things to consider. and then we play Tetris music while doing so.

maybe he has money now to buy a boat

not really, PMG is more accurate with the right mods as it sustains accuracy while the tommy gets pretty big, and the aces beast the tommy in any point.

? how do you come to 9%? are you comparing different month? afaik, pair has an eu char as well but yes the old days when we all played on joker were sooo much fun.

? I thought the only point of phasing was switching to the district where the match happens and not that we phase through each other. And if, I don't actually see how this sort of phasing won't lead to griefing at all, Sure you cannot block an objective anymore. but one your still visually troll others pretty hard. Imagine someone cover dumptrucks another player that you now cannot see anymore. So i hope we will not get this change as well, and maybe as an experimental one later.

the recoild is still not a problem, but the other performance of accuracy and a very short dropoff make it too bad now for the other options available.

Yeah show more faces so the community has more people to insult and blame, it's not like this didn't happen before. Sadly this is the APB community, or at least a very vocal part of them, that ruin all these nice things. If this community only were like the MWO one. It would be such a happy place.

I wonder if we gather a buttload of civillian cars without a troll exploding them if the server can handle this. Imagine a full server everyone with full customized chars and cars in one spot + a load of civillian cars. Will the server break?

I remember when the harzardous (or tommy in general) was actually a pretty decent gun for cqc if you could handle the recoil. Sad it's now pretty bad compared to the other options.

comparing April 2018 with the 2019th summer holiday playercount is a pretty bad comparison, bot Aprils are a better one, and that is sadly a loss of around 12% given a lot EU players had alts on Joker with reasonable latency, merging the US out of the EU players tolerateable latency range was a big hit for the US server as well.,

No surely not, but APB is the only game that nearly all my gaming friends quit because of cheaters. and they play plenty of games, so if "cheating happens in all games" and it would be my friends specific nature to be like that, they would quit all that games as well. So, no APB is very special when it coes to it's cheaters and even more special is how he company handles it. and both turns out much worse than in other games. APB is special in how badly it manages cheating compared ot other games and that to a degree that it drives more people away than any other game.

depends on what you mean with dizzy, they have no complex nervous System. But they can get vertigo, due to having an organ of equillibrium. of course thats just a simple opinion based on basic knowledge and not some scientific whatever.

The issue started to become present with the new mods. carsurfer removed the need for more than 2 Door cars. mobile Spawn made cars requiring durability. This made people switch to the Vegas and the Pioneer/Espacio because they have high health and in case of vegas also high speed and extreme acceleration in the 4x$ variant of the vegas. maybe the t25 could somewhat compete in there, but it still has those big ugly unpaintable plastic parts. I would think a rework is needed give more health to all cars in the lower health section. Remove some ramming power from the Vegas, it is ridiculous high. it will make people have to lern steering it and not running straight through things. Change mods. Steel plating needs a change, it is a % based mode, which means high health cars benefit much more of it than low health cars. Also, it does not affect grenades, the car spawners most present enemy. So when vehicle health is more balanced let these mods add a plain number of health, like SP 1 +100 health top speed -1 SP2 + 150 helath top speed -1,5 SP3 + 200 health top speed -2 that way we get better protection vs grenades AND bullets + it will affect all cars more fair. Same with ramming plate, high ramming power cars get a HUGE buff while low ramming power cars get nearly nothing but sadly most low ramming power cars have low health and therefore suffer the full negative consequences from being rammed. This is not good at all. And Chassis Strengthening has the same issue. Flat added values would also help much more for a fair gain for all cars than just % numbers. A real cool feature for probably some post Engine upgrade would be car tuning. which allows the player to upgrade low tier cars to be faster and more durable outside of Car mods, which then comes with higher spawn costs. So that these cars do close the gab to the top tier cars and car choice turns more into a choice of a style than performance reasons. in the end clothing never had an impact as protection as well, and if it had everyone would wear the most protective ones. So lets transfer a part of this "Style first" ideology of the game onto cars as well.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

and even form an EU point of view it feels dead to "back then"

is that you before waxing?
