this is one of the random and funny things that can happen. I love APB because of the randomness of events from N5s killing you randomly to being projected 200 meters in the air in your car.

does it really matter anymore? The company has changed hands.

I just think it's the sound. "WHHHHHHAAPT!" then dead body being flung into a wall.

I'm not sure if it is still legitimately possible but just ran against someone who was using a scout and constantly run jump/leaning in mid air and sniping people on my team. Miss rate was pretty low and when I tried it with my scout the cross hair grew pretty large so not sure how this person was able to hit anything. Is there a legitimate way of doing this?

That is something I completely forgot about. Does it work with Valentines Box weapons or do you still drop them?

this wouldn't work, you couldn't move.

I think it would be better than the OCA to be honest.

here, take my 100 dollars and buy a new car

How do you think the game would change if people could use secondary weapons in their primary weapon slot?

this is just a side event for the developers to interact with the community, it isn't a normally scheduled event. Do you want to really brow beat the developers so much they don't ever want to do these little events for fun?

I agree, neither the Dog-ear or the DMRs are OP, the Dog-ear should get a slight reduction in hard damage only. The DMR I think needs a of a rework.

No matter how well you play, the same type of person will kick or harass you because they like having the ability and power to do so. Just ignore these people. Hell, I've been kicked from a team even when my kill count is double what the next person is. The latest was when I was killing people after I arrested them (so they spawn faster since I was farming arrests). My team was winning, I was leading in points and didn't die yet but the team leader kicked me because I was "stealing his kills".

And if you miss a single shot with the DMR? you also need a clear shot between 80-100 meters for the DMR. The DMR is only better than the dog ear for 20% of it's range capacity and only if you have a clear shot for that 20% and only if you don't miss any shots. The Dog-ear is more forgiving and more useful for 83% of it's range capacity. The DMR needs near perfect conditions to be superior for only 20% of it range capacity.

It maybe a "me" problem because I own the Alig, Volcano, HVR, Scout and various other weapons as permanents. I have the option to always swap weapons to something which is far superior to the DMR if I want hard damage or soft damage. But when it comes to the Dog-ear or the DMR, the Dog-ear is hands down more useful as the 20 meter window for the DMR is too easy for an opponent to move out of.

I own both weapons (actually the Dog-ear, DMR-SD R&D III and Agrotech DMR-AV PR2) and find the DMR too limiting with the 80-100 meter advantage. It is too easy for opponents to move outside of the 20 meter DMR advantage and with the lack of mobility using the DMR series it is too hard to react quickly. The DMR is basically useless against most vehicles because you'll never keep a vehicle with in the 20 meters long enough to disable it unless you are chasing someone while using car surfer and the opponents are not shooting back during the chase. In a vehicle chase the Dog-ear is much more useful since you can hang outside of a window for cover. The only time I ever find the DMR useful is when guarding an objective at nearly 100 meters with my vehicle close to use for cover or retreat if the enemy comes at me. Even then the HVR is more useful if you have a team mate since you can tag the opponents once and let your team mate shoot them once to kill them. The Dog-ear does a little too much damage (maybe shave off 10%) but is fine otherwise considering it's mobility. It fills a niche the HVR nor Scout can fill. This post wasn't about nerfing the Dog-ear but trying to get the DMR series buffed.

Dog-ear is not awesome but neither is the DMR. Just because neither is popular doesn't mean one should be hands down better at everything (Dog-ear) while the other (DMR) is only better from 80-100 meters. If players rendered further than 100 meters and we could hit targets at more than 100 meters the DMR would be fine, but with only a 20 meter window of superiority, the DMR needs a buff.

do not handicap your faction with LTL users.

vehicles need to be balanced. The only 2 vehicles in the game worth owning are the Pioneer/Nomad and the Vegas 4x4. Mainly because both of these cars can push other cars out of the way and take at least 1 Conq without blowing up instantly. All other vehicles get pushed around on the road or just lack any real utility in combat. The Pioneer/Nomad is superior to the Espacio because the Espacio has very little push forward. You can easily be stopped in traffic if someone collides with you head on or pushes your Espacio from the front from a dead stop. The normal Vegas is decent but when you compare it to the 4x4 version, the 4x4 version is so much better due to the acceleration. The Vegas 4X4 is the only vehicle which can be used to run during the VIP/Hold item. I like the other vehicles, they are fun to drive around, but in combat are a lot less useful in every way compared to the Pioneer/Nomad and the Vegas 4x4

Would you charge more for the benefit of only being used while playing or should the price remain the same? I personally wish they made it so being premium was worth it. My characters are years old and I have no need to update their looks anymore. The 2x gain is not something I worry about since my 2 mains are maxed and my others I don't care about being a lower rank. One thing that would get me to use premium more is the benefit of a free 15-30 day rental of a weapon or auctions no longer expire as long as you have premium.

often people blatantly cheating do so for attention. There is absolutely no reason to help them gain that attention. Twitch is decent enough that they will quickly ban anyone caught cheating though I don't know their methods of detection. It's better if cheaters get banned without much attention.

lol, that's pretty embarrassing.

nice to see your crazy patootie again.

it could definitely use a drop in hard damage but that is it. The DMR needs a buff. I love the weapons and own them all but they are useless unless your enemy is stupid and allows you to camp in that perfect 20 meter window. that's an easy fix, drop all mods to rank 85 (highest before the rank 195 mods were introduced). Allow the newer players to buy the mods off the auction house, that drives the economy a bit. Iower the mod requirement also balances the game because not only is blow torch extremely useful, so is Radar, marking players, remote detonator, basically all the rank 195 mods have a use except the flag...

dropping the DMR to 60 meters instead of 80 would probably fix all the DMRs. Right now there is no reason to use the DMR when you have the scouts available (or the Dog-ear).

that's a very small margin considering you can at least mod the Dog-ear.
