I'm more saying if you are in a cqc fight, being caught in the open running it's better to have an OCA.

out in the open without a lot of cover isn't the OCA still a better choice?

Best weapon for someone just starting out?
illgot replied to Farbon Ciber's topic in General Discussion Archive
My favorite combo is Volcano and RSA/Commander. only thing I hate is the 1 second equip time for the Commander. -

thanks, always thought tap and burst were the same thing. -
or maybe a consumable ticket (bought on Armas) that allowed the player to purchase an Armas related item on the auction house. Though I don't know how much that should cost; maybe scaled for weapons/vehicle/clothing/preset. If two people already have the item, I'm not sure why a person would purchase the same item (clothing car) they already own just so a person could customize it. They would essentially now own two of the same item, one they just can't customize themselves.

6 shots to kill. I usually let 2-3 shots per tap. Even if I perfected it to two shots per tap that would be enough to kill a person if all hits landed with in 50 meters. -
even account wide trade would be nice, but it would have to be marked as so and clear the previous owners inventory. This happened to me once when I got a refund, they deleted the weapon from my whole account, even the 15 day trail versions I got from JMBs. I would love to trade anything purchased in Armas but to be honest I'm pretty sure their sales would negatively affected.

base Ntec, don't start with mods. At range you will do pretty well just tap firing. Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap. Usually by the third tap people are dead. Four if they are a bit further out. If an opponent gets too close just full auto and swirl it around in a circle around the opponents center of mass. It is shockingly good at CQC. Once you get an open slot version, Hunting Sight and Improved Rifling help along with Mobile sling later. -
I keep facing all gold teams that are all using the Ntec/OSCAR and I know why, they are the best weapons in a wide variety of ranges. No other weapons are really viable except in their one tiny area of specialization. I love LMGs but they just aren't viable if you want kills or to fight back on a level playing field. One of the reasons I just don't play APB anymore. There are only 2-3 viable weapons, the rest handicap you too much.

Timeframe on return of threated districts?
illgot replied to Hexerin's topic in General Discussion Archive
that's why I never bother to win missions anymore. I'll make a few kills, finish daily missions but screw winning missions. Being gold just locks you out of a mission district for dailies. NA does not have the population for segregated districts no matter how you tweek matchmaking. -
were there tracers in game? I thought it was more to eliminate tracers.

the one thing that gives you an advantage over other players is consistent gameplay. I don't mean that a player has to constantly play, I mean that a player experiences less stutters and lag in game. I achieved this by dropping my graphics down to null with the advanced launcher. Even then I get stutters in the game that can last 1-2 seconds long. I think people who are really good are luckier than most in that they don't suffer the constant stuttering in game (and my computer specs should be good enough to run a 9 year old game with such poor settings the game looks like a potato from the early 2000s).

Dog-ear is probably better over all when it comes to damaging vehicles than the Alig. Just because the Dog-ear has mobility and can be used hanging outside a car window.
-
LMGs are fun but when it comes down to trying to win I always end up going back to the Ntec/Obeya.

why people get crazy over ntech ursus?
illgot replied to foscor77's topic in General Discussion Archive
I got the volcano before permanent osmaws became possible for me. When the volcano first came out people were selling it for under a million because it wasn't like the osmaw so I picked it up. -
And even if it was great it would split the NA population even more making it even harder to play certain mission districts.

why people get crazy over ntech ursus?
illgot replied to foscor77's topic in General Discussion Archive
Yes but when the ntec is cheap or free for an open 3 slot, having unlimited quick access to a rocket launcher is preferable over an ursus which is just a side grade. This is partly why I want explosive weapons on Armas. The volcano is too important an option to pass up. -

illgot replied to foscor77's topic in General Discussion Archive
Nah, you should always have an explosive weapons for vehicle missions or taking out campers. The ursus is good but easily replaced by the ntec. I would never give up my only permanent explosive weapon for the ursus. Plus I love the shock and cursing I receive when I blow up a group of players. -

eh, I traded mine for the Cap 40, but I had another and 2 of the daily nanos so... it's subjective. -
What Are you Guys hopeing for with engine upgrade?
illgot replied to Specia's topic in General Discussion Archive
I would just like the game to run smoothly. after that I guess I could ask for better gun play and more balanced missions, but that's secondary to eliminating all the micro-stutters you get while playing. -
I'm not sure APB can survive another decade in it's current state.
-
Adding a 0.01 - 0.05 delay between optimal shots isn't enough to compensate for latency. Even the Joker Carbine would have skipping issues if you set the rof to 0.16 - 0.2 seconds. I wish the engine/servers ran well enough to read delays perfectly but they aren't. I've only used Logitech/Razer and AHK (for MMOs) so not as familiar with other peripherals and their software but would not be shocked to fine out you can enter coordinates to change cursor positions.
-
you are talking about something like autohotkey which should be banned in this game as it can easily be turned into a triggerbot. I personally don't know how/if it's possible to hack the Logitech/Razer to write scripts that read APB and eliminate vertical recoil for anything other than the sniper rifles. And slowing down your ROF macro to eliminate any skipped shots, you may as well just tap fire the cursor turns red because relying on something automated AND super slow is basically retarding your ability when the TTK is this game is not even 1 second.
