    I looked a bit and couldn't find the thread, maybe it was on the old forum, if so, provide a link so we close this please, or here it is, revived for more hope 🙂

    Hello, I'll keep this short, this is about the "invisible walls" and triggers that respawn players when attempting to jump out of the map borders, at some point G1 decided to keep an eye and close them all, as they could be used to abuse missions, which makes sense.

    The suggestion is to allow us again the freedom as before, and have them check if the player is in a mission before respawning, or collide only with players in missions (collision layers/channels in Unreal?)

    Why? because this was an awesome part of APB, gave a lot of value to some vehicles, felt like racing, and believe it or not, people were super friendly during it.

    Hi there,
     


    We tested network code last week, and it still needs some work, so it wont be ready for Tuesday.
    Believe me, we are pushing as hard as we can.

    BTW - in publicly acknowledging and apologizing for the DDOS attacks (over Twitter, Facebook, and this forum), we got two more attacks within minutes.
    I often debate exactly how much information to share with the community due to this exact problem.
    LO has not interest in hiding anything, but every time we give information out, it also goes directly to the people initiating these attacks.
    Fortunately we're on mitigation right now, and those attackers wasted their efforts. They can't make it any worse.

    Rest assured, we're not giving up.
    Stay tuned.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    I think being open and honest about the game's issues and progression, even when it goes slow, is the reason the community is a lot more positive and hopeful these days.
    Maybe you could share the usual information but not so much regarding the servers and DDOS, give the least necessary information regarding that?

    As @Birmingham said, we got your back.

    Sounds pretty reasonable, I'm all for any BALANCE as long as the weapons remain UNIQUE, that's the most important point for me, so I have the variety.

     

     

    I have one take on this though, which is the NHVR, I like the gun, I think it's fair on long range, but I was thinking, wouldn't it balance it better if it started with low damage that increased to full damage at some distance (gradual or snap)?

     

    Also, please bring jump shooting scout back (maybe consult old players about it), it was a ton of fun, and no, I really think it wasn't overpowered, it allowed you to surprise the enemy but with a very predictable (gravity) fall afterwards.

    No, they absolutely do not as a classic headshot, all body parts do equal damage in APB, however, you may aim for the head, for the satisfying ragdoll impulse when the enemy dies.

     

     

    Tip, there are different damage types though, some enemy can have Kevlar to increase protection against bullets, but he'll still be 

    vulnerable to stamina damage (stun) or explosion damage. and in case of vehicles, look for the "Hard damage" to know what the damage the weapon will do.

    Do NTEC do as same many damage as CR5? Some say same gun?? my do not think so 

    Yes, they're identical, CR5 is just a reskin.

    These 2 are a comparison between CR5 PR2 and an NTEC with matching mods, nothing is different 🙂

    Seems to me like a 10% discount all this honestly

     

    20% is a part of the benefits of being premium.

     

    20% is the perma new G1C pricing.

     

     

    That leaves 10% of the 50%, so during the next holidays, if they make any Armas discounts, they'll most likely be more than this.

     

     

    Pricing, though its awesome to have a simple 1$ = 100G1C, It's still expensive to see some weapon skins costing 30$.

     

    With all that said, I'll still get myself some candy on this discount, to help show LO some love, and keep the rest of the list for future discounts.

    You're absolutely right, it's unfair, and it's cheating.

    But sadly, detecting it is difficult without false positives, not impossible though, yet I don't expect there will be a lot of bans regarding this.

    Will we be getting any compensation for this game breaking glitch that makes it basically unplayable? every day i come on and this game lags and for past 2 days constant disconnects mid mission and when designing cloths. I pay for premium for what? i cant play the game so why i give you my money for this. Will you be giving all players compensation for you making the game unplayable like premium or free weapons because we pay for this stuff with our money and it is very unfair that we do not get the experience we are paying for.

     

    The game has been broken for years, instead of asking for compensation for a few days lag (which was worse during G1's times), why don't you ask yourself why did you invest in it? you knew the state of the game and you paid. Better wait and let them fix it.

    No, I don't think there should be titles, I can see some player GMs becoming very entitled with this, when in practice they're supposed to be there just to help.
    The other thing is that it may make it more difficult for those player GMs to actually find cheaters or scammers when they're a known GM.

    The roadmap is not necessarily new, most of it are the "Soon TM" of both G1 generations, however, the actual work on implementing it, that's new, I heard previously it was 1 person working on the engine upgrade, now its 2 teams. I see them working hard on different areas of the game, and investing money into it, and so far all they get back is increased population, but not much spending, people are waiting for the confirmation, the change, and the mentioned change of prices in Armas.

     

     

    Personally, I quit due to G1, came back due to friends, but stopped paying at Armas altogether, now that LO took over, I am waiting for some more improvements then I'll gladly be buying again, major changes or not, as long as they keep progressing, I don't mind a different weapon or vehicle balance if it means they're adding more content or the promised maps etc..

     

     

    PS: I'd like to emphasize on what you said, to whoever reads this, lets share a positive attitude about this, our community is a part of the issue, and maybe its time to solve it and get a better reputation than a salt mine.

    I doubt removed items will be deleted from the inventories of players that already bought them, most likely removed from Armas pages.

     

     

    Also, you don't need to list the unpopular guns which you think of, LO have the statistics and it won't include guess work, if anything, we'll need to ask them for more info on them (which they'll mention later anyway)

    I think Oscar is broken, not necessarily OP, but it looks stupid, running, stopping for a microsecond to fart a couple of bullets then run again, yet me and the people I play with frequently all have difficulty playing against it, and can't use it for shit.

     

     

    SHAW, if you don't have a pretty good pc, you're in for a nightmare, ntec on distance, oca in cqc, and you get that extra freeze to seal the deal.

    Until we have better matchmaking..

    - Stick to cover, never be in the open, unless you know WHY there are no enemies around, not just that there 'probably' isn't.

     

    - If a fight starts, fight back, no matter if you're gonna die or not, maybe a teammate tagged that player, or will after you die. maybe fallback while shooting if there is a possibility.

     

    - When you see an enemy that doesn't see you, don't engage immediately in the fight, make sure he has no chance to survive, aim, get a cover, get closer/farther.. wait for him to be far from cover.. whatever it is.

    - Find the balance and try to know WHEN its each case, of waiting to be sure enemy won't survive, or the possibility that he's tagged already and you're giving him time to recover/hide.

     

     

    Of course, there are plenty more advice you can find in the forums.

    Goodluck !

    The community jokes aside, I don't know you, but I know it's not a walk in the park, but remember, this is a mental phase that passes eventually, you'll realize big parts of it are in your head, other parts do not matter, and at the end of the day, the other "normal" people you see without this issue.. they each have their own struggles, so have the patience and wisdom to guide yourself through this 🙂

    I take my sweet time to learn the game, I know it will take time but I get a lot of advice from players when I play. That's the only way for me to learn. Also, I don't know if Matt has enough time for that (keep in mind he is a CEO). And @Selali vs me? Psh I'd win in a heartbeat 😄

     

    Well.. how about a match of you AND @Selali against Matt? whats the worst that can happen? get fired?😅

    Would be great to get it back as I was too busy being banned last time. 

    But maybe it would be better if its done after the matchmaking is improved and cheaters are under controls,  servers are stable..  so that those players stay not just test the game
