  1. oh but i might need to grow some balls. but no, to be fair, i may have went overboard and going personal with a person that goes personal isn't reasonable... i was also trying to make fun of his "balls" and our apparent lack thereof was his only argument - and that they were his apparent main focus. sure, you are entitled to your own opinion but that doesn't mean others can either criticise it (that i didn't really) or make fun of the way you state yours.
  2. Dude, because there is still valid criticism. I don't blindly only look at one side just because it sounds good. I wouldn't agree fully just because I kinda like the ideas. Look at your stuff in a bit more differentiated manner instead of only stubborningly seeing your side... Also, way to go, just reading/responding to the part of my comment that you liked...
  3. The opposing replies do have reasoning. Saying "they're people who just stayed with the game and are fine with it" doesn't negate all of the valid criticism your ideas received. (Nor does it change that many things have been suggested before) Who said they wouldn't change/add any mechanics? However, that should objectively not be priority. Also: Most low ratings all boil down to people brushing the game off as p2w when they lost to someone with a slotted weapon (or not even that). Or when they see the prices on Armas (that have been addressed). As well as the miserable servers (that are being addressed all the time). This has nothing to do with "the core mechanics" Also, the drive-by nades, tire-popping are arguably not core - but rather gimicky mechanics. I'd quite like to see them as well, but yeah. Just saying. (Stealing enemy cars also kind of sounds good... anyway.)
  4. Sounds good. But: I guess that's not too reasonable, might give it a slight overall increase like 10% to still have an incentive to buy it directly...
  5. you can always but they probably won't be fulfilled - either way. i wish for less questions with obvious answers.
  6. Oh yes, you are one very masculine individual. I'm in awe of your pair. I never even used one of them because they don't matter. You are being so whiney about them though. Do you need some confirmation or smth? Oh and while we're at it: The way APB was meant to be played is on hardware from 2012. Grow a pair and get your first gen i5 out and play sub 30fps on a fhd screen.
  7. and if they were to disallow it, using a monitor with hardware crosshair or a sticker for your monitor is still an alternative. if they were such an advantage, they should be patched in - and as matt said, they were gonna look at that
  8. not like there is money needed in apb. plus, warframe has a significantly higher amount of players - and if you decide to buy something, it isn't THAT cheap either
  9. they only reworked prices for weapons so far and i think they still wanted to change some things there? not sure but op - that's the price for a perm. if you don't want to spend that much, don't - there are cheaper alternatives too. all of those aren't necessities either, they are indeed more of a premium product. the prices are still steep though... however, expecting 10 euros for an account wide perm... hm. with the current playercount, that doesn't seem reasonable - if ever... like... yeah.

    still got all of my old hotmail addresses... so... that'd be odd
  11. you can disable rendering eyelashes with the advanced launcher (maybe even ingame) yes, apbs engine is heavily outdated and unoptimized - but rushing 3.5 would just make things worse. have you read the thread? they are working on it but are experiencing frequent issues and crashes. of course they are doing their best but rushing it won't do any good. optimizing apb specifically with rather old, low-end systems in mind - while you don't specify your cpu, it certainly has to be a pre-ryzen amd cpu and frankly, they were quite bad - might lead to the same issues we have right now: it not running well on newer architectures and it looking quite bad. i'd also appreciate it though. BF1 probably doesn't rely on CPU performance as heavy as APB does - as you said - but that is due to it being a totally different kind of game with a totally different engine. you don't havd customization there which is certainly the biggest feature but also performance-issue apb has. (along with particles, that should get improved, lol) Maybethat'll change with the engine upgrade and it rather utilizes GPUs better. who knows. you can't just flip a switch for that though. supporting and making use of ryzen would be nice - amd cpus always relied on having more cores over single core performance - and apb only utilizes on core - which the engine upgrade IS supposed to change. so i guess that'd also improve performance for the older, pre-ryzen, amd gens. a good i3 is enough for apb, even with high fps though, since the vast difference between i3, i5 and i7 are core counts - e.g. the top end i3 8350k is quite on-par with the top end i7 8700k. both are not quite that budget though xd (that being said, the better amd cpus - ryzen that is - are also on the same performance level) + no need to sign posts on forums
  12. not even that, they were only trying to make quick cash by that. you can see that they were already in contact with LO quite some time before the actual purchase by LO since they did advertise for one of their games. so it is quite likely they just tried to milk what's left before selling it. saying LO doesn't care bc they don't do 50% sales might also be the most senseless thing ever. most weapons are permanently almost on sale level. they lowered the g1c cost by 20% and weapon cost by about 30% all across the board (0.8*0.7=0.56 - that's like a permanent 44% sale.) - and they are still saying they will rework armas further - but only after more important work has been fone. that they don't focus on monetization first shows that they are really trying to improve the game instead of just milking it. you're being utterly ridiculous.
  13. ye, that's what i meant by loadouts. i mean, to be fair, it might be enough if you could just mark some as favourite - and they'd turn up at the top of the list... that should be a bit easier to do. however, as you said, classes/loadouts would be cool too - to me in the regard that you can also put in appropriate mods/cars and maybe a fitting outfit, all at once... but ye, these ideas definitely aren't new, players have been asking about this quite some times before...
  14. Loadout slots were something that was asked for a lot - so that'd be nice. I'm opposed to alphabetically since the naming schemes aren't always followed by and some weapons might be harder to find thus. A search bar - or just sorting for yourself would be nice Just to note: You can already filter by weapon type. At the top, over the weapons, a weapon class can be selected. Still a nause with 80+ weapons (actuallx also earlier than that but you know, humble brag) And while we're at it: reusable weapon mods. Just have them in your inventory, be able to use them on every weapon without having to unequip/equip them... or search through your collection, wondering where the fuck you put it on last before you had to switch quickly and had no time to unequip them... And make that accountwide xd One can dream...
  15. that being said, i'd be for a nerf of the vegas - but only durability-wise. the other cars should be brought up a bit, maybe along with a little speed increase (especially cisco and fresno) vegas should still have the highest top speed, since it also has the worst handling. increasing car speed overall would be nice - although it might make the map feel even smaller. especially the low-end cars should be made more viable. right now the only reason to use one is because it's free to spawn and you're trying to save money for that one legendary you always desired xd idk how that's supposed to be done, but giving them a bit more health or... like, giving them increased nitro benefits or something lmao or maybe higher acceleration. just some ideas. coywolf is actually also a quite nice car, decent stats, 4 seater (- just not available accountwide on armas) (and it also is runner-meta... but viability for running should never really be considered. all cars should be shit at it)
  16. ??? we already have multiple latin alphabet decals and no others. that's what op is trying to change. the cyrillic one was clearly only an example. he didn't say anything against also havung the arabic one or the greek alphabet or the japanese alphabets and whatnot. there are multiple, lol
  17. they are not just upping the run modifier or something, otherwise they wouldn't teleport. more modern engines like ue4 had the same or even worse issues - a "trading" mmorpg (archeage) allowed cheaters to teleport across the whole world (with their wares). the same happened in another (okay, also a bit dated) big game - guild wars 2. people did their map completions - that would require you to off places all across the whole game - within minutes by just teleporting everywhere. the 32bit version of BE might be more vulnerable to exploits for various reasons (partially i'd guess for requiring some kind of systemside "emulation" layer to allow 32bit to run on 64bit) this really doesn't have much to do with the engine though, despite being outdated. the issue rather is that movement is clientsided - but serversided really is no alternative here (they use that for cars and you can feel the input lag quite much there + it would cause various other issues). "sanity checks" might sound easy in theory "just check if he moving to fast lawl" but they are really not in practice (don't you think they would've employed them by now if it was as feasible as you try to say?)
  18. eh, flagging by reports doesn't ban people, not even a lot of flags. it just makes others+the anticheat "investigate". why worry if you are clean, lul lots of people do report each and everyone but most systems value those reports less then - which makes sense. hence, e.g. rays reports are also negligible and noone should care or worry about what he does...
  19. the old threat system is likely never coming back since it promotes matchmaking abuse and ego-pushing/toxicity even more. that being said, the current one is basically the same but with different symbols (you still have different "tiers" in gold etc - however, they are not visible) they said they'd overhaul the whole system. but i doubt that's being done at the same time as the EU. at least i hope the old stuff doesn't make a comeback. by hq bloom you mean the bloom overload from rtw i suppose? tbf it looked nice but everything but clean. more modern, better looking games like even the division (similar setting) manage to do look better without smearing colors all over you screen. (i for one would apprciate better shaders with some more bloom though...) waow, veri impressive since we're flexing now, https://www.steamcommunity.com/id/hizzlemeinnizzle
