Hey guys, Recently I decided to re visit gamersfirst forums maybe to have a trip down memory lane, and I was struck by this post. It is amazing to see that someone with what it seems good intent, is trying to take this game that many of us love, to the next level. I've been playing the game for the last couple of days, and it is nice to see that atleast, some quality of life stuff is already being implemented into the game, this defenitely feels refreshing for APB players for sure, since the game was never touched by years by G1. Now, I will talk about what were the things, that for me, and many of the other top players at the time, think that killed the game. Take into consideration that I haven't played the game since 2013 , something around that time, but I've been playing for the last couple days and alot of the stuff is still repeating. Cheaters: This is a no brainer. After watching the AMA, It's nice to see this is being adressed as it was a pain in the bum back then to fight a couple max rank cheaters for atleast 3 months before their bans. Server FPS: I don't even know if many of you remember, or if this is still even a thing, but, when the level cap was 195, Server FPS was 30, it was then changed to 25 when they released the new contacts, causing ghost shots, in alot of weapons, NTEC, Shotguns, SMG's. This is been a problem that was never adressed and made the game feel kinda clunky and RNG at times. Weapons: Sensitive topic, as people's gameplay differ and not everyone wants to play on hardcore level, but still think, some of the additions and weapon TTK is just off the hook. The main problem with adding weapons to a base game is obviously the balance, with these Armas additions, I think weapons should really be carefully looked at, I think we all remember what OCA Nano did back then before the nerf. No one wants to feels they died to a credit card warrior, but instead that maybe Armas weapons just has some quality of life to it? Idk just an idea. 1 - .45 - Where to even begin. This is like an FBW on crack. Faster ttk, more damage, more range, really pathetic weapo imo, and everyone seems to be forced to use it, otherwise you can't really pistol duel. this makes it so, FBW or ACT/RSA or whatever are not even picked anymore as a sidearm, since .45 works for both range and cqc. Lack of diversity 2 - Osmaw / OGPL - I wanna say these weapons wouldnt be a problem if there wasnt for some mission type , but I dont think this is interely true. These weapons just don't belong in the main disctrict game, anti fun, anti game. I think these weapons are fine for other districts, like fight club or christmas events or stuff like this. 3 - PMG - Pretty op weapon, makes no one want to use the OCA if they have to pick. 4 - Obir - TTK 5 - Percs - Why is this a thing in a game where you have people with insane grenade skill. Percs were always looked as panic nades. 6 - DMR - Did they buff this or they nerf car HP ? Seems kinda ridiculous now 7 - Joker Weapons - I don't have enuff experience to talk about all of the weapons in the list, but I've played vs 1 that seems pretty ridiculous, felt like a PMG on crack. Missions - Theres alot of missions that need to be adressed. Vehicle missions - people pre griefing the objective, making it nearly impossible to have a chance of doing the task. Capture Item missions - dont think anyone plays this game to drive around for 5 minutes chasing a guy in a truck being boosted by a vegas with 2 guys on top shooting you. Just make it so you touch the item and leave it as is Griefers - People still griefing objectives nonstop and having even people outside their group do it for them Late Backup - This also needs addressing, make it so you can't call backup with 2 minutes left? or something like that Monetization (this are just ideas for Armas Market) - Imo, cars / clothing / weapon models / skins / Clan's Hideout or stuff (Probably later on) / . Any thing that gives you a game advantage, most competitive players will always frown upon this and eventually just get tired of it.. Imo, x64 will be good and refreshing, Alot of people will try it hopefully, even old players I feel like, I just think alot of other things needs to be adressed at the same time. This game always had a unique gameplay to it, and it defenitely should stay this way, if we wanna retain the players, and hype this to become a populated game again.
