    Hello, not gonna comment about the other weapons balance but if that's what you have in mind for weapon balancing especially for shotguns I'm glad to tell you that this game will die sooner than you think with how you're ignoring what the players have been saying over and over like reverting the shotguns to the pre LO weapon changes, all shotguns were 100% fine. If anybody had any problems with them, that was just them having a really bad aim. 

     

    The two main shotguns that everyone who really knows how to play this game care about worked as inteneded, jg was always better in closer ranges than the csg even though the csg still had a close RoF to the jg, and the csg was always better in longer ranges than the jg, there was no need to nerf/buff/rework anything.

     

    Aside from having good server, client performance and stuff to grind in this game I think the gun gameplay is the most important thing to consider when someone wants to enjoy a shooters game, and if you don't realize how bad you're ignoring players and how bad you're doing on balancing (fucking)  weapons thinking that you're the one with the better future vision for this game, well... You're done for.

     

    I'm just here watching you fuck up time after another with not a single remarkable positive change, even some people would think that this isn't a fuck up yet, It actually is a fuck up to even introduce these ideas a begining for weapon balancing.

    Get your shit sorted please.

    To give specifics, there are 1498 packages used in the game:

    • 919 regular packages
    • 537 map packages including dynamic layers to action districts for events and missions

     

      So far we have converted about ~83% of them:

    • 706 regular packages
    • 24 map packages

    Original packages : 919+537= 1456.

    ??1498??

     

    Converted packages : 706+24= 730.

     

    Percentage of converted packages : 730/1456 = 50.1%

    Wrong calculation depending on the total packages given by matt : 730/1498= 48.7%

    ??~83%??

     

    Am i missing something? 

     

    If not then that's some interesting mathematics right there.

    You are understanding it wrong.

    I'm not writing this post because I think that ME specifically writing it will make a difference.

    I'm writing it because I hope that reminding LO about those things over and over might make them reconsider their choices and priorities if we will be persistent enough.

    This post might be enough or we might need 20 more of posts like that.

    Time will tell.

     

    PS: If people will be only making fun of those who are speaking up like me then we will never achieve anything.

    If people will instead join the conversation and voice their concerns we might actually achieve something.

    Sarcasm aside, you have written a well organised thread that sums up efficiently what the priorities should be especially after 3 months or more with no info about the progress of the engine upgrade whatsoever.

    I don't think you need to bother explaining anything to anyone, what you're trying to do or say is pretty clear, cheers.

    what should I do if my gaming experience is huge but I technically can't beat 10ms with my 270 MS ?

    Who even enjoys gaming at this kind of latency, non the less playing apb which is such a mess right now and doesn't even look that it's gonna be better in the near future, what you should do is that you uninstall this game and play something else till it is worth enduring the high latency for, that is if that ever happens which i doubt.

    Not everyone does it. I got mine playing and it was not an excuse, I felt rewarded for it.

    Yea you if you're an enforcer you literally need about 200k which is not considered much to buy a 2 slotted one from the ingame market place, 200k can be farmed in 2 to 3 days with premium or 5 to 6 days without so rewarding indeed you should feel proud. Casual players like you aren't the reason why it hould be nerfed, i wouldn't mind having a casual player use that car I'm speaking about the real veteran players who abuse the shìt out of this car in this game and are ready to buy it from armas on every single character they create.

    For that reason you need to spend a lot of money and time farming (up to the rank its given or maxing contacts) that could be your entire gameplay. Thats like a powerful gift as osmaw or opgl. There is no need for changing them.

    Again craping players motivation to play is not a good idea.

    Or you could just buy the car on armas market 😉

    Never seen such a pathetic excuse about the pioneer tbh

    WEAPONS :

    Ntec : statistically fine even though sometimes it's hitreg feels like traveling to mars when you need it the most.

    Hvr : needs to have the accuracy nerf reverted and instead decrease it's damage a little bit. 

    Oca Whisper and pmg : need a range nerf.

    Shotguns : should be reverted to what they were before LO fked them up.

    Semi automatic rifle Obeya : is fine.

    Obir : complete bs due to heavy burst damage, range, mobility, accuracy, equip time.

    Rfp : even more bs than obir itself.

    Oscar and carbine : oscar is somwhat bs but it's still acceptable while carbine is fine.

    Low yields : needs damage, radius nerfs and should be only 2 grenades.

    Grenades in general : should have a cooldown to get them ressuplied again.

    Opgl : needs damage and radius nerf

    Stabba opgl : since it's radius is far more bs than the normal opgl this one really needs a radius nerf.

     

    MODIFICATIONS :  

    Yellow modifications : remove Shields and ammo boxes. 

    Spotter : only one player per team should be able to equip this modification. 

    Remote detonator : cheesy stupid modification imo that should be removed completely or you can just nerf it by cooldowns for the cheesy stupid players who like that mod.

    CARS :

    Pioneer : either nerfed to the ground or removed cuz it's abused to the extent that makes you want to break your monitor in high skill matches.

    MISSIONS :

    some missions are horribly unbalanced for one of the two sides and should be removed completely or reworked.

     

    side note : I'm not saying this to everyone here but I like how there are complete morons here who don't know shit about this game yet are doing a great work spreading bs on these forums when they are in reality either bronze district players or borderline golds or just the kind of old "veteran" players who manage keeping their gold threat when they are still completely garbage at the game after thousands of hours of gameplay.

    Meanwhile most of the real one's either stopped, playing long time ago (majority) or still playing and not giving af about forums (minority). 

     

    Edit : but hey i guess Riot is more more important than balancing the game right 😉

    It is obvious that in the near future this will not happen. 

    I read your comment as: "I will find out from the team if they want to create another “Nekrova". 

     

    It would be better if you answered in more interesting topics.

    The Middle East has alot of money, this is an interesting topic to her and to her company, Have a great day.

    lmao this loser got used to the brokenly overpowered bullshoot that Little Orbit implemented, ran a sale on all shotguns, then reverted shotguns after the sale ended because everyone bought them cause they were so EZ Mode. 

    Learn how to aim and you wont have a problem.

    Actually i believe he's talking about reverting the shotguns to what they used to be before LO even started to mess with how weapons work which i completely agree with, not to the overpowered version they made at the begining of their weapon balance event.

    When Little Orbit announced acquisition of APB and Matt Scott began talking up all these plans, its safe to say most people's hopes for this game increased. BattlEye was a great start, but everything else they've done to the game (which is hardly anything?) is a disaster.

     

    APB has been horribly unbalanced for a long time but what the fuck were they thinking with shotgun balance.

    The nfas was already one of the fastest killing guns in the game and incredibly powerful in close range. So your response to that.. was.. to buff it.. what.. And the Ogre is even better.

    Regular shotguns went from being average tier at best to absolute trash. The TTK is so long its absolutely not worth using, .68 all the way up to .77. Like do they not realize how huge of a difference that is when it comes to firefights? Yeah, okay a higher ttk because shotguns can utilize cover to gain an advantage over smgs? Thing is, SMGs have WAY more range so that's what you'd have to sacrifice that when using them.. That was a pretty reasonable tradeoff. And now you can just buy a nfas that does everything so much better. Hell, the nfas even kills faster at close-med range than standard shotties. And why was the Dow nerfed. Its literally a slightly more skill-based nfas. esus Christ. Shotguns have had a long history of balance changes from being terrible, to ghost shotting nonstop, to being beyond overpowered. They were FINALLY in a good place before you aquired the game. Shotguns actually did not need to be touched - at least the JG, CSG, and Nfas didn't.

    For the love of Christ, revert the shotgun changes. Like completely back to how they were before you ever touched them.

     

    Car spawner still exists. Remote det is still ridiculous. HVR still does 850 damage.

    Grenades still do way too much damage. Low yields and percs have not been looked at.

    Defence missions still give you a massive advantage.

    Game is still filled with tons of gimmicky bullshoot that makes it pretty unfun.

     

    Don't get me wrong. BE is great, a few of the QOL changes are good, the trading system is fine, and the communication is much better than G1 ever gave us. There is more hope in this game's state than previously for sure. I'm not saying I'd rather G1 still own the game since that was a dead.

    In all my time of playing this game, I've never seen the population this low. I mean that was inevitable no matter what minor changes you make to the game.

    However, if you want this game to survive for a good amount of time, you need to listen to the players. 

    Look at Jagex. They admitted they screwed up their game and re-released an older and arguably better version of it, only adding updates if they pass polls. You should really consider listening to the players who have thousands of hours of gametime and not mess with parts of the game that aren't broken. There are so many problematic errors that could be addressed instead.

    I think you should just start over with the weapon balance and let the players test things out long-term before changes are finalized, and when they are finally decided let us vote on whether we want them.

     

    If the engine upgrade ever actually comes out, there's going to be a good playerbase spike, but without maintaining the game and fixing issues that have plagued it for years (when G1 refused to listen) it'll go right back to being as dead as it is now. The engine upgrade isn't an end-all. The other things matter just as much.

    Very disappointed. Game was actually more enjoyable to me when G1 owned it and I wanted nothing more than for that company to sell the game off.

    @Emcitement Excuse me but I couldn't agree on anything more than that, everything you mentioned was totally on point and i would have said the exact same things, how do many prople dislike this piece of art that this you just wrote ? 

     

    This is why they should never ever listen to those kind of people who have no actual real experience or competence in the game and are just wondering in these forums trying to act like they know what they are talking about feeling more important than they really are.

    I feel CQC has more options now.

    I wouldn't call that an accurate statement as there has never been always alot of options for CQC, the OCA, PMG, JG, CSG respectively were always the competitive weapons in that sort of range and now they have decided to remove the CSG in the last weapon balance out of this competition. 

    Ofcourse, there are other CQC SMGs like misery, norseman, vas c2-troublemaker and their other Variants which are utterly uselesss and have been always almost non existent in the meta and between high tier players. 

    I forgot to mention the Cap40, which is "almost" an OCA reskin so i wouldn't categorize it as a totally different weapon.

     

    So what i actually see is that the main four options of CQC weapons have been reduced by one "CSG" which totally needs to be either reverted or tweaked, so imo there is basically less options when it comes to CQC now.

    I don't see the nerf anywhere.....

     

    Everything looks good to me. Also, I play on 150ms so with less latency my JG would perform even better. 

     

    I will admit that I don't main shotguns in Mission Districts because of the limited range or maybe because I don't perform that well outside of FC with it. 

    Jg is fine, too strong imo, but CSG is a whole different story whether in missions or fightclubs.

    That extend mag though "cough cough"

    csg, jg, all shotguns before the strife shotty was 85 damage output up close and personal. Can anyone else quote me on this? I've played this game for a very long time I know my shotties. And JG does not have 75 damage output its 65 just like csg and tas20s. The csg and tas20s at least have a better spread control than the JG. First and foremost get your facts straight. 

    Hmm, you played this game for too long you said, not only that, but asking me to get my "facts" straight? 

    Since you look completely clueless to me I'll leave that link here, and good luck in this game.

    I agree with reverting shotties back to 2012 when they actually could fight oca and pmg at more of a range. i also do miss the circular spread it had.

    We are talking about reverting them to what they were before LO weapon balance, not that insanely overpowered stats that they used to have in 2012 that no one asked for, so i don't really know who are you agreeing with here.

    if you got the rocker bundle you can check that notizable difference. That's why when I wanna play shotguns I do use CSG for Financial and Joker tas for Waterfront, since I don't have any of them with IR3. But yeah the RS3 does reduce the shotgun spread.

    I think that it just had visually different spread animation than the CSG but it was always a CSG reskin and nothing more it was never superior neither inferior to it in any way.

    I used to main the CSG before the shotgun rework, now it feels extremely inconsistant and terrible so I never use it anymore.

    Same, I mained it ever since i started playing this game, but i never use it anymore aswell because of this shitty new weapon balance.

    I think that I hate almost every single weapon balance they ever made even the HVR ones killing one of the fundamental gameplays in literally every fps shooter game which is snipers jumpshooting which i was one of its many fans (i know that some players don't like that weapon and may disagree with me but let's not neglect that alot of players liked it aswell and that was not supposed to be a legitimate reason to kill its ability to jumpshoot).

    That was never op, It was kinda hard and inconsistent to land the shot and was actually hilarious watching people trying to jumpshoot and failing it most of the time, killing them while laughing at them, what was op was its raw 850 damage that still exists which only needed to be reduced abit. HVR is still op till now, can still quickswitch easily and the players that hate the HVR whom i mentioned above probably still hate it if not more and lets not start talking about what happened with the ir3, but hey lets keep that for another thread and another time.

     

    In my opinion, the whole weapon balance shouldn't have happened in the first place, the meta was fine it was not overpowered by any means and i think that the majority of the old good players who make up the majority of the game population right now, liked how it worked, i mean that's the only reason why they haven't quit the game till now when there was no new content or any real updates.

     

    What littleorbit did was just breaking the meta, breaking the guns, adding more bugs that never have existed (car radar bug, CSG jamming, false animation and ghost shotting), adding an anti-cheat which lets blatant players roam everywhere for couple of days, sometimes months freely and all we know now is that they are working on the new engine and that they asked the players to be more patient than they already were and just bear with all the annoying things that exist in the game right now including what i mentioned above till the engine upgrade comes out, who knows when exactly, and when that happens maybe they'll do something about these things, and maybe not.
