This is my fav Bloodhound skin in APEX btw...

While I also like the stylized versions... this one super creeps me out.

I support this, but only if it looks like one of the real masks.

Why are you pretending you play with the golds? You are a self admitted dethreater (threat "manipulator" was your wording)... you've said as much on these very forums. Though I would LOVE to hear the names of these gold players you "mop the floor with". Cuz I for one don't think Ive ever seen you in a silver district.

Im afraid you wont find much sympathy for that.

I feel their pain, my routing gives me 170ms from Chicago.

Very nice work. Im glad LO has this to look though.

In most games its because players want to be able to customize their gaming experience. In APB though, it is mostly to do with the game performing terribly by modern standards. The in game options are minimal, and don't allow most players to have an enjoyable experience. The advanced launcher (as well as configs that edit the same files as the launcher) allow more players to enjoy the game, or at least to reduce the frustrations of frame drops, stuttering, and freezing. If you yourself don't experience these things, don't notice them, or aren't bothered by them I am very happy for you. But APB is notorious for running completely differently on different machines, and for most of us... it runs like shit. On the bright side, the new engine will contain all of the stuff the advanced launcher allows, but those options will then be built into the game.

If you are reacting to the radar instead of being shot repeatedly... Well I don't even know what to say to that.

I think I agree with this. Feels weird.

Mobile cover is incredibly exploitable. For good players, it's beyond cheap.

Its pretty similar to any APB discussions... a subject gets brought up, and everyone talks about it. Though for anyone wondering, there are enough differing points of view within SPCT that pretty much all bases are covered. LO may or may not listen to us, but they also read everything on the forums as well. So yes, we do get to chat with a few staff members, but for them we are only one of several sources of info. First and foremost our job is testing.

Keep in mind, that nothing is ever written in stone. If a change really isn't working, it can always be changed again in the future. Best advice I can give if you want to do something is to write something up for the changes you'd like to see, and post it where LO can see it.

Oh please dont. I am just a player like you. All I do is test things for LO. Makes me uncomfortable to even have the SPCT tag, since we are just testers.

I feel your frustration. I now have a locker full of RFP that are useless. Though I try to remind myself that if the game shuts down I lose everything I've paid for. So I just hope that these changes are good for the game, and that maybe I can enjoy playing a bit longer.

I there are enough reason for people to make fun of APB without adding tracers back.

LO has hard data. Hex and the rest of us do not. Sorry, should have been more clear.

Tracers are corny and gross. #notracers

Imagine using anecdotal evidence in an argument with someone that has hard data.

That is my worry as well.

Sounds like we are playing different games again.

Then why does it allow for 5 star players to stomp into any mission they want? That means now a player who might already be getting stomped also has to now deal with some rando 5 star not even involved in their mission.

OCSP Joker is literally the same as the other OCSP, but goes for several million more

No idea on the demographics so no comment, but 190ms seems high... though I suppose poor routing on the way could do that

I dunno... New Glory still goes for a lot... that gun sucks OCSP Joker as well... worse than the FBW can be sold for millions
