Shout out to the streamers. How else would I get my APB fix when I cant actually play?

There is also the effect constant name changes would have on the community. Hard to know who anyone is if their names are constantly changing.

Would pay real money to not have to hear another 1980's casio keyboard sounding "masterpiece". Oh and the ear assault themes are pretty annoying too.

I dont like you.

iirc the name change was never meant to be easy or cheap G1 wanted to discourage, rather than enourage name changes

umm... no and please stop spreading misinformation like this

So, if GMs cannot ban players, what... what do they do exactly? Honest question.

Savage AND funny. I approve.

APB Vault is the info directly from G1. The only missing info is damage dropoff ranges for weapons using the curve mechanic.

stop reading my mind

I heard GhosT enjoys the smell of his own farts. ... just saying

Im just going to pretend I didnt see this. Trying to be nice on the new forums.

HVR? huehuehue

I think LO wants to use the carrot more than the stick, especially when it comes to dethreating. Once they slow down threat change it will both make it less likely that players will go gold after a few lucky missions, as well as make it much more tiresom to dethreat. MattScott has already said he views having to ban players as a failure, so I doubt we will see punishment nearly as much as we will see changes to the mechanics of threat estimation themselves.

No.

I suppose it would be silly to expect the game to suddenly succeed without changing anything. I guess Im just worried that in making the game successful, it will become something I no longer enjoy.

While I personally don't have a problem with the heavy HVR, I do recognize that there is a widespread dislike for this weapon's viability at all ranges given its high damage output. I personally dont play it because I find more success using other weapons, and I assure you Im sweaty af when I play, so Im not just avoiding the HVR for any moral reasons, and a nerf to it wouldnt affect me in any real way.

These guns have what are called "situational advantages" over one another. The OCA starts with a slighty faster ttk 0.64 vs 0.68 for the csg, but ttk isnt everything. If you are playing either the csg or the jg correctly, you are utilizing cover so as to minimize exposure to your enemy thereby taking advantage of the shotguns' inherent burst damage quality. Or in other words, you dont have to expose yourself long enough for OCA to kill you. This is especially advantageous in defense scenarios where you can exploit cover. But to counter that advantag, this only works with perfect aim. Slight mistakes can turn a 2 shot kill into a 3 or even 4 shot kill increasing your overall time of exposure.

I dont really care either way about the nudity, but it just feels good to know the community has been heard.

While full districts are nice to see, it is a little worrying that new districts arent spinning up.

I guess I've just been too busy actually playing the game to notice the street lights. But now that it has been brought to my attention... yeah, I still dont care.

ntec-5 > ntec-7 ... just saying

Please, dont change anything. The guns are fine. You just have to be willing to adjust your playstyle to your opp's loadout. I honestly believe this. And no, I never use the Ogre, the Yukon, or the Volcano as I feel they are unnecessary. I also very rarely touch the heavy HVR. All my opinion of course.

Im a sweaty solo queue player. So its pioneer or gtfo for me. ... hey, at least Im being honest.

Thanks for the clarification. Whatever our individual stances might be, it is nice to know we are being heard.
