If you're not looking down the sights on the curse or the manic you're doing it wrong. I suggest not using any red mods on either of the two guns. Best setup is probably Hunting Sight 3, Mobility Sling, and Extended Mag 3.

Yes, the car meta is often ignored. You're generally at a disadvantage if you're not using one of the big 3 (Espacio, Pioneer, or 4x4). The highly durable cars do not have any disadvantages. They can start there.

Game Struggles in Today's Marketplace
LaQuandra replied to gordoIsMyName's topic in General Discussion Archive
I've known new players who have enjoyed the game. New players shouldn't expect the game to be tailored to them, they need to adjust to the game. Either you like it or you don't. APB isn't for everyone just like WoW, LoL or CSGO isn't for everyone. Impossible to make all players happy...new and old. Nobody is hacking on NA. If they are, they get banned quickly. Use ignore and don't hide district chat and you will eliminate 95% of the toxicity in the game. ALL games have toxic players and nice players. APB is no exception. Jericho has been playable as of late. While it isn't perfect 100% of the time LO has acknowledged it and it working on it. They had made some progress and the cries of DDOS are occurring less. The current condition of Jericho is playable more often than it isn't. If you enjoy the game, then play it. Don't stress about the things you cannot control. -
Joker Mystery Box - Considered gambling in Belgium
LaQuandra replied to Hexerin's topic in General Discussion Archive
Except why would other items get more expensive? Legendaries would just have to be put in as obtainable in a different way; gambling is a serious issue. Drunk Driving and alcoholism are serious issues as well. Do you support banning alcohol? Just because gambling is a serious issue for some does not mean it should be removed for everyone. The countries that are proposing these bans are starting to head down the slippery slope of being a nanny state. Let consumers decide how they want to spend their money, not the government. -

Remove stamina damage from all nades beside the stun nade. Perc-PIG is a broken over used non intended mechanic in the game. If enforcers want to LTL they shouldnt be able to prenade with yolos and other nades to make you more vulnerable to stuns. The movement speed penalty when you get hit by the PIG is way too much also. Very difficult to be able to move into cover or even fight back when you're so immobilized. Perc-PIG was never intended to be in the game and has been abused too long. Don't let people crutch on broken mechanics.

That is a nice little site. Generally if I found a color I wanted I would open it in MS paint and use the color picker tool, select the color and then go to "edit color." You will see the values there. Then in order to convert it to APB colors, you'd divide the numbers by the following: H/7.74 S/34.3 L/16 You might have to play around a little bit/round some numbers with the final result but it is pretty close.

It won't be another ISSR-B though. It doesn't have nearly the same amount of hard damage. The Oblivion has much better range as well. Not sure how you like using the oblivion currently when changing to your secondary puts you at such a disadvantage. It seems like the balance patch should at least allow you to use the weapon close/mid range and be able to instantly switch to your secondary when needed. The gun will still be very different from the ISSR-B. It will be 100% viable at that point.

I recently picked up this gun and I enjoy using it. I do have a few issues with it. Since it is full auto, I get ghost shots if I want to semi auto fire it. There are times when I don't want to go full auto and the ghost shots throw me off. Also, on numerous occasions I have gotten 3 hit markers on a player and no death, They aren't using kevlar, there weren't ghost shots, etc. I don't know if it's an issue with the servers or the gun but I don't seem to get it on other guns I use. Overall the IRS is a pretty solid gun people do not use. I am looking forward to see what they do with the Coroner. I don't see any reason to use that gun over the IRS. Oblivion will be a million times better when I can switch to my secondary after firing. Would be a lot better if it played more like the dog ear. I love how the FROG Thumbnail sounds and the accuracy but the damage drop off is too quick. I dont see any reason to use it over the fbw, ocsp, or 45 if you want that type of pew pew secondary.

I was watching golf on TV the other day and those guys hit all their shots so far and straight. Me? My ball slices off into the woods sometimes. I misread the greens all the time when I play. The guys on TV can shoot a 68 on some really hard courses. I am happy to break 90 on my local course. I have tried using the best balls, the best clubs, hell...I even bought the best shoes. I searched high and far for an answer to how they can hit the ball so well I am some terrible bum when I play. I then realized it. They are better than me.

If you were banned and flagged as "cheating" your money and joker tickets were wiped. If you were banned and flagged for something other than cheating, you got to keep your money and joker tickets.

Check your spam mail....that is where all my G1 emails were found.

I don't understand why you play the game then? Even before LO took over all the things you said were true. The pop was bad, people thought everyone was cheating, and the server performance at least on NA was pretty terrible. I can understand you're unhappy with the product and that is fine, but putting others down because they have some hope that LO will do their best to fix game is unwarranted.

Community GM'S will basically be SPCM
LaQuandra replied to Iodyne's topic in General Discussion Archive
The GMs aren't there to make someone a better player. They are there to help out new players, answer questions, and make sure others are not breaking the TOS. You also realize LO would have the ability to allow GM accounts to access any district regardless of threat. The threat level does not make a bit of difference. -
Check and see if you can log in. Most account have been unbanned. If you cannot, send in a support ticket.

Sure hope BE starts banning soon...
LaQuandra replied to CookiePuss's topic in General Discussion Archive
I was vocal when she was around to defend herself. Fact of the matter is, what's done is done. People asked for BattlEye...now you have it. Right now it's not fair to pass judgment about who has been banned and who hasn't when BattlEye has been around for less than two weeks. Is it fair to wait a month or two and then start questioning the effectiveness of the anti-cheat? Okay. I will go back to playing the game fair and honest like always. You can continue to be part of the problem rather than part of the solution. I tried to help. -

LaQuandra replied to CookiePuss's topic in General Discussion Archive
All are unnecessary except stealing the van. Point is, bad behavior can drive people away from the game just as easily as cheaters, dethreaters, etc. If you want players to stay around and enjoy the game like you claim then you should exhibit exemplary behavior as well. At the same time, that type of behavior is expected in all online games, just not APB. People can either stop playing the game all together or choose to overcome those annoyances and enjoy the game for what it is like I have. The point again is that these annoyances do not exist, but the community over blows them due to entitlement and selfish reasons. People use them more for excuses for their shortcomings. -

How is it harsh? I quoted you. You said you can be pretty horrible....it isn't harsh to say "don't be horrible." Be a good person regardless. -

Yeah, Little Orbit backed me up considering I've been unbanned. Yeah, I have plenty of things to back it up. What do you have? A quote from Tiggs? Ok. Stop being toxic in the community and being horrible in general. I was never toxic nor horrible in the community. There is no point in debating it. Little Orbit now runs the game, they said a lot of bans were questionable to say the least and echoed my sentiments for years. Good enough for me. -

You also had the chance to socially outcast people Tiggs had an issue with that weren’t cheating yet she lied and claimed they were cheating. Who really looks like the fool there? You were celebrating false bans as if there were legitimate reasons for those players to be banned. Is it too much to ask that the playerbase log in, plays missions and just let the anti cheat do it’s thing? It is possible the “cheater” you dislike so much isn’t banned because, oh I don’t know, they aren’t cheating? -
I think for a particular game mode it could be viable but I don’t want to see it in regular action districts. I think players should be forced to change their weapon if they choose to do so.

I don’t play in bronze districts. If 75% of the bronze district is dethreaters then there aren’t that many new players to begin with so what is the issue? New players will either tough it out and get better or they will continue to be bad and quit regardless. Nobody still has answered how long a player needs before the training wheels should be taken off. Like everyone else, I was once new to the game. I had to learn it. I had to take my lumps. Heaven forbid I learned from my mistakes and got better. I should be the norm, not the exception. Too much entitlement If you lose consistently and you’re not having fun find a new game or a new hobby rather than expecting people to change for you. Seems like some people want to stay in bronze district forever and not improve.

I have 6000 hours. I’ve played on all servers. I’ve played at noon, 3PM, 7PM, 3AM. You name the time and I have played. Again, I am not saying that dethreaters don’t ruin the experience for some players, but I am not going to buy into the fact that the bronze district is full of them. You never answered my question. At how many hours can we take off the APB training wheels for players? Sooner or later everyone just needs to play the game without being entitled to a safe space. Not saying this is you, but if you have like 1000 hours and you’re crying about dethreaters, they aren’t the issue.

I am am not a developer therefore I cannot ignore the issues that brought the game to it’s state. The biggest issue is lack of content and server performance. Last night a few people I know stopped playing because the lag was annoying. We didn’t face any cheaters in the 5+ missions we played. I am glad you admit some might be banned for “stupid reasons.” Seems like a good way to kill your playerbase. Tiggs needed grow up and not be triggered because someone said they were 12 or made a shirt for Epic Goat. And yes I think many were falsely flagged and lost their accounts unfairly. I think that is pretty significant considering many then quit the game, stopped spending money, and wouldn’t recommend it to other people. That matters. Again, I can only speak for myself but never have I played APB for a long play session and encountered unique cheaters consistenctly. Either I am lucky as the other poster suggested or it is overblown by the player population. If I have been that lucky for 6000 hours I am booking a trip to Vegas this summer. Honestly though, take emotion out of your feelings about the game and you will have a different perspective.
