    I don't really know what to tell ya mate.
    The game isn't that hard to learn, you don't need to kill people and be a god to play a weapon, you get used to these things within a matter of minutes.
    Once again.. Fightclub is great for if you actually need that extra bit of time, so you can just shoot non stop.

     

    And if you really really can't aim / use a gun... There's this great thing called Kovaaks 😉 Not like external aimtrainers help but hey, you can always give it a shot ^^

    I just don't think it matters for APB and here's my thoughts on why:

     

    APB has many weapons, because APB has these many weapons 1 or 3 are bound to be easier or stronger than the rest.

     

    APB is definitely the home of monkey see monkey do. 1 person plays a gun and owns everyone. That 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 6 to 8 and so on. Until this one gun becomes meta. 

     

    This is what will happen everytime something is "balanced" in APB. I don't think it's so much as X,Y,Z guns are broken or overpowered. People get annoyed at fighting the same meta all the time. Which is why yes APB balance is important. To distribute said meta across many guns.

     

    My thoughts on a solution? Well I would make the guns every player has access to: STAR, NTEC, OBEYA, OCA, JG, SHAW, and ALIG really good and solid guns. Once each of these are fun to play against each other. Begin buffing every other gun in the game to be at least on par with the previously said weapons. 

     

    Another thing to consider is that hit-scaning in APB can make a gun more broken. A solution to this problem would be to make it harder for hit scans to work effectively. A good start would be remove crosshair colors. And instead make the hitmarkers more reliable and add an audible hit sound to make the gun feel like it hit. Something like this if implemented correctly can aid in detecting something like ghost shots.

     

    But for now. These minor balance changes will never satisfy anyone. So I'd just roll with it. 

    See now here is the thing. 
    Apb does have many weapons... But the majority is a reskin, so they don't have "that much" to change.
    Let's take the weapon changes of mid last year (?). Most weapons were perfectly fine (besides the weak stuff like the Norsemans), they recently nerfed the n-tec slightly by removing the ability to jumpshoot with it and bla bla bla.

    The only weapon at that time that was causing issues was the PMG, the thing was a laser, you could beam someone on 50 meters with an SMG, insane! So they decided to nerf it, which was great and it was a great nerf as it's still very viable these days (unless I missed a change in the time I didn't play).
    Now then the dumb thing comes... They nerf the one weapon and yet buff the other weapon, in this case the OCA, it's direct competitor... When I brought this up to an SPCT member / Weapon Balancing team member, I simply get yelled at that I'm an idiot and I do not understand sh*t about balancing, which I do not, but I played the game on a daily basis so I can see what is weak and what is strong.

    Then when I read all the other changes they kept making suck as a far nerf, an n-tec buff and then a nerf again, a scout Buff then a nerf followed by another buff, making the heavy HVR useless compared to the scout, buffing the carbine, adding more ammo capacity  to the Obeya Cr762 and then even buff the Tommy gun by reducing the recoil by 50%... Yet you leave weapons such as the pepega FBW as is with it's huge ammo capacity, no recoil, barely any bloom, no punishment what so ever, and such a low TTK. I get it's  a beginners pistol but give me a break... (of course that's not the only "unbalanced" weapon)

    Then about your solution.

    Making the base versions of guns available to everyone... They are available to everyone, you simply have to progress through the game to obtain better versions of them, hence why reskins are in the Armas market place to be purchased to be able to access them faster, LO has to make money, and giving everyone all the base guns will not make them any. (plus you can now purchase plenty of the guns in the Jokerstore)

    I don't have to get in to what you said about the crosshair colours, removing them from apb is not a solution, Cookiepuss already explained to you why.

    About the "minor" balance changes... They were not minor, the OCA buff was huge, the 50% recoil reduction on the Colby was insane (shame the gun by itself is doodoo) most of the other changes were very much un necessary, all they had to do is nerf the PMG slightly (and buff all the useless things like the Norsemans), the OCA was in a great place before there was no need of buffing. All these changes are simply made by people that do not play the game.. 
    Heck 1 SPCT member even said "There are not enough SPCT members to test these changes on the OTW servers" (literally have ss's of this). Then don't push changes!

     

    Stop touching weapons and fix the real issues like the Engine and the Anti Cheat system.

    Not a weapon balance thread, as I now believe in the philosophy: "APB players will always find something to complain about".

    They wouldn't complain if there wasn't anything to complain about.
    Without playing the game and seeing the weapon changes, you can already see that a lot of them do not make any sense.
    Add an SPCT team to that with maybe 2 members that actually play the game actively to decide the changes.. It's stupid.

    Get a team that actually plays the game, that knows the meta, knows what is strong and weak.. 
    But that isn't anywhere near possible as most people in this game speak from their own ego's and only want to see their favourite weapon being buffed.

    The game is divided in 3 groups, the tryhard Andies that are being straight-up toxic most of the time, Russians and anything below high golds aka the group that plays what they want just because they do not give a single F about anything.

    Unless the population grows in this god forsaken game, there shouldn't be any weapon "balances" or changes at all. All LO has to be focussed on is this ugly engine upgrade and make sure it's not going to be the flop that people are expecting it to be after all the failed Beta tests.

    As far as I have heard this cheat called Simplex (if that is how you write it) got leaked/cracked or something along those lines so plenty of people got access to it.
    I'm not the one to hackusate but the cheaters problem currently is insane...

     

    It's just low ranks that are doing insane in Asylum and people that just stream with the stuff turned on (I feel like everyone knows who I mean 😉 )

    Isn't there anything you as LO can do and BE of course as well.. The dudes are going so blatant, be toxic in the chat, get banned and they simply reroll.

    This is going in the opposite direction amusingly enough, Joker Stores will replace ARMAS basically.  Still no idea what will come of ARMAS in the future, likely phased out entirely i guess.

    So why didn't they add the items from the xmas bundle in to the Jokerstore?

    If this game even survives till next Christmas.. 
    For the love of god start it earlier and end it in the first week of January..
    You're starting an xmas event 1/2 days before xmas (depending on where you live) and then run it 2 whole weeks in to January as well.
    It's simply too boring and the festive spirit is long gone by now, just bring Asylum back already.

    Insane how there's people getting Muted in-game by a GM for "name shaming" people that have been blatantly cheating and have plenty of banned accounts, whilst these individuals are appearing in everyone's stream just walking towards where people spawn, snapping all over the place and are speed-hacking... It's unbelievable.
    Why is nothing being done what so ever, Waterfront right now as I type this is a living hell, but I can't give names because of name shaming. All I can do is send a support ticket or use the report system in-game which feels utterly useless.
    When they finally get banned they just create a new account and continue what they've been doing 😂 Battle Eye is just a Joke.
