50fps sounds... okay - but with 300ms you will lag to hell. i used to play like that too and it is virtually impossible to perform on par - you will hate it and people will hate you for lagging around. so your pc is okay-ish, but ye. internet/your location is a big issue. they might host new servers in more places in future (i assume you live neither in US nor EU) so you might be in luck... but right now i couldnt recommend it.

is a fullquote always needed? no his main point weren't even cheaters lmao

me irl

ye the games i mentioned have/had test servers/clients too, point was that none of them known to me rewarded players with anything but seeing/playing/testing new things early (plus being able to play with more things unlocked or w/e)

An incentive to play the OTW (If it wasn't closed for internal testing) would be good. except dota, csgo, overwatch, stardew valley, starbound... uhh... minecraft...? (not sure abt pubg tbh) i honestly can't think about any "major" game with a "regular pts". only early access/alpha/beta stage games come to my mind. also... a closed otw (open test world) is not an otw xd

this was already officially stated. since only the first place gets the skin, they tried to ask people to not aim for first place that much... wouldn't say this is a good solution though... however, they are probably out of other options atm.

apb relies on single core performance. many notebook cpus (including i7 up to 6th? generation) only have two cores (4 threads) - and the game runs more than fine. you do not need a quadcore to run this game well (especially not an i5). an i3 is perfectly fine, especially the newer generations (as long as it isn't a low end with barely 2GHz) Even if you run couple of background processes like Discord/Steam/TS3 or whatever you want (Ventrilo x Mumble lul). Same for the GPU. No, you don't need a 960, nor a 970. Not even close. A GTX 760/960m is perfectly capable for running the game 80-90FPS/high/FHD You will still get drops with too many particles - that also happens on my 1080 Ti and 2080 Ti though. You can lower the limits and are fine then though. You will also get the drops from garbagecollection and some memory leaks etc - better/worse depending on SSD/HDD, even with an m.2 it's still noticeable - and you shouldn't install APB on an SSD to begin with since it considerably wears it down, more than any other game because of cacheing on it (I think that was the reason...) - RAM disks are a godsent here. So - although you normally don't need more than 4GB RAM for APB (so far!) - since it is a 32bit application and can address 3GB max. However they wanna change to 64bit either way and for a RAM disk you'd want more memory. 8GB is worth it an reasonable these days. There is hardly any reason to go over that considering the other specs listed. Recommending 3000MHz DDR4 when recommeending 1866MHz DDR3 is kinda unreasonable and most CPUs are barely specified for 2400MHz (including latest gen Intel) and you'd need to use XMP (that you didn't mention) tl;dr - any "better" i3 (3rd Gen, 2,4GHz (if there are any in this spec this early))/any Ryzen will do - anything >=760/960m will do - 4GB/8GB w/ RAM disk will do, dw too much abt frequency, 1333MHz should be fine. - SSD is good, HDD + RAM disk is better (for your SSD xd) the performance hits from meltdown and spectre should be negligible for APB (with newer cpus especially) but so are the risks for end users. go for whichever. budget builds with ryzen are much better than buying a "lower end" intel for the same price. edit: of course more memory always can't hurt. since apb should improve graphically and might cache more things in ram/vram, going higher newer can't hurt. 8gb ram and a gpu with 4gb vram should be standard these days. and with those, you should stay futureproof. also sincd you probably dont always want to play apb, a better cpu than an old i3 probably should be your aim too. i5, gtx 960 etc and the specs listed are/were fair and should be aimed for - but far from needing to be recommended

no, you do not get banned for things like that.

choke me, daddy or choke my daddy and punctuation - i guess you'd want an exclamation mark to go with your request

ftfy dont try to make sense out of it

op says 9pm, his 9am probably was a typo. 6.5h from now

next to the quote button (on your own post) the + button also enables you to multiquote

use what you are comfortable with. em doesnt really make too much sense imo. how many people do you want to kill in one mag? just try hs? it does affect zoom levels etc 3ps is always a straight upgrade. some people love hb or mb on it but i've never really seen any reason. ir and cj work quite well too but it really does come down to personal preference and use. i have found the amg to be quite easy to control so i'm fine with both.

do you ever go into a bank and shout fuck you, you're not getting my money? just wondering.

most prices are lower than original sales niveau (except for some odd ones...) for joker misery boxes... probably not soon. all we ever got with g1 was "bogo", however, jmbs are already 20% cheaper than they were under g1. as the previous poster said, they said they'd refrain from sales for now. aaaand a christmas sale would probably around christmas. as a reminder, classic christmas days are 24-27.12. (every year!) xd just kidding - sorry, but your guess is as good as anyones - and LO already commented on sales either way.

i guess he'd probably want clientside (to reduce latency when controlling and introduce a whole variety of new issues) or cars that are not driving on ice and flipping over "randomly" and getting stuck under telephones however... very constructive op, yes "ite weird"

you can only sort weapons by type just by pressing I and selecting the weapon slot and switching between the categories at the top. basically a necissity with 50+ weapons xd but yeah, that's about it for weapons. people asked for loadout/sorting a lot but it has not been implemented (yet) maybe LO is up for the task at one point.

why not? should they get stomped by you instead? and sorry that yukon got "nerfed". it was just broken before. and if you look at the yukon... it has a 20% lower min TTK - as a trade off it's less accurate. the rfp is not fine as-is, but the yukon is just made for shorter ranges - obviously. and it stays at it's accuracy, whereas the rfp should get less accurate with every burst (just looking at the bare stats.) https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_Pistol_Mountie_PR1_ArmasJB https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_Pistol_RFP9 of course the yukon shouldn't be straight up better than the RFP. it isn't - same goes for RFP though. and "noobs" should have good options too - like, why should they have worse weapons than anyone?

wow edgy

actually you can shoot 10 times faster with the scrollwheel, your fact is wrong. also, i use my foot to shoot normally.

yeah, make the game p2w, this gun should cost you 500$ instead of being acquireable by everyone since it is a good gun. ???

the ntec has a 33% lower ttk (on paper) and you shouldn't get outplayed by rfp with it much. the rfp is too easy to use imo - but it definitely isn't >the< strongest secondary, it is strong in too many situations though imo (as in that it's too versatile) and very dominant in its niche. an act/rsa will outrange it though, other pistols are better in close and it doesn't really outperform primaries in their intended range. the armas version is definitely a straight upgrade - which shouldn't be the case - you could argue that this is also an issue with ir3 though. but - it's far from p2w. if anything the rfp is just a worse but maybe easier oscar. the weapon does need tweaking, either range or accuracy-wise - i guess. or maybe longer/slower bursts (or maybe intervals - which probably wouldn't really help/nerf too much imo) (maybe bring it on par with obir ttk)

there was a new car already in development with g1 along with the growl - i think. so maybe they'd go for that. it was a quite big one (think seiyo and pioneer) iirc

The new gun skins are missing - otherwise, nice work!
