  1. works for me now! they are down from 3999 g1c to 2999 g1c at max from what i've seen. along with 20% cheaper g1c, it is quite a significant decrease. 0.8*0.75=0.6 every weapons price has been lowered by 40% as minimum from what i've seen. they said the price was actually reduced by 20-50% in this patch so the effective decrease over original gamersfirst is between 36% and 60% to top it off, these prices are also getting decreased by premium, so it'd be between 51,2% and 68% (sorry for math errors, only did those numbers in my head) now... this is a relatively reasonable baselevel i guess? i do think it is still a lot to ask for. you're looking at 30$ for the most expensive weapons. (24$ with premium sounds pretty fair - atleast in comparison - though) however, the prices were considerably lowered. maybe they'll do a 20% sale one day, but this is already better than the sales niveau of g1. so - asking for further lowering or an additional sale seems highly unreasonable - atleast at this point of time.
  2. the pr2 should be more expensive than the pr1 though i guess all other points seem very valid (including general preset pricing inconsistencies which also affects this) i still do think 30 dollars is still a quite high asking price (unless there are sales in future i guess that would give players another option too - 30 sounds like a fair "base"price) - even for accbound perm (bear in mind, this is just for one weapon. if you wanted one for each scenario you'd easily end up at 3-4 primaries and 1-2 secondaries - that is barely comparable with the prices of AAA games). (it doesnt really affect me, i already have like 70 accbound perm weapons + legendaries, i'm not begging. just saying. guess the numbers will tell.) definitely a good change. i guess when converting to euros the prices seem even more fair. especially with premium. it's still lower than g1s sales prices, so i can't *really* complain. now... the page still doesnt load for me though, i can't actually look at the mp
  3. doesn't load for me, on lte and fibre cloudflare timeout Error reference number: 522 Cloudflare Location: Berlin
  4. just try things out, just consider going low sens to proactively prevent carpal tunnel/rsi syndrome. high dpi + (very) low sens is better to avoid pixel skipping, since the ingame and windows sensitivity settings are basically a multiplier of what the mouse detects.
  5. beacon>baylan idg why missions were removed from all fcs either
  6. it's not a script, it's just changed textfiles. manually (more or less)/(but definitely) inofficially. there is no option for this. any modification to the clients files (outside of certain configs e.g. by advanced launcher) can lead to bans. there wasn't an explicit exception made for these textfiles so battleye might get triggered. there hasn't been an explicit warning about not being allowed to do this specifically either. i don't see how it is so bad, considering you can just look it up in apbdb(v2) too - there are more gamebreaking things. but ye, it is most definitely not >allowed<.
  7. there is an admin tracker directly built into the forums https://forums.gamersfirst.com/discover/6/ i've also made one that includes all mods i've encountered so far https://forums.gamersfirst.com/discover/15/ there is an admin tracker on apbvault/apbdbv2 https://db.apbvault.net/tracker/ apbdb is inofficial (just like apbvault) and is not being worked on anymore by the author (unlike apbvault) so: no action from LO needed whatsoever (probably not even possible) vendetta didnt get funding and was most likely completely abandoned (retribution was terrible and probably outsourced to begin with xd) they said that some contacts are going to be worked on and that they have stuff archived some concepts are from 2007 - the games earliest developtment and were clearly abandoned. have you seen the old promo vids? that was an entirely different game. others than that, ye, events would be nice again. what kind of terrible translator did you use though? xd please use [spoiler]giant images[/spoiler] next time.
  8. diffusion of bombs seems rather destructive though or do you disassemble it and diffuse the parts of just one
  9. only 11 days early with that title then still was plainly wrong at that point of time and you stated plainly wrong info in your post too (which was visible on the very site you screenshotted - and you decided to crop it off) and hey, probably the next few months will have new "all time lows" just like it always is when something is constantly dropping surprise surprise not saying this is a good development but it has never been an unforeseen/unforeseaable one - and there was little to no reason for it not to happen. as i stated before.
  10. "Its been 2 days" "Customer Support was so better when there was no Little Orbit" "xD"
  11. it is not p2w because there is no p2w. flawless argumentation. here, i'll counter your argument: premium is p2w because there is p2w in apb. there is no dictionary definition of this because this isn't in any official dictionary (prove me wrong). noone even mentioned urban dict. premium is p2w because it would hypothetically give one of two players - that otherwise have the same conditions - a significant edge over the one without premium. take radar jammer or spotter. the cd reduction is a direct upgrade that directly affects gameplay. for the cost of money. hence it is p2w.
  12. you go from "there are no advantages" (besides money and standing) to "people want the advantages for free" very quickly also the classic "i have no arguments so i rely on allegations" p2w shouldn't have a place in apb.
  13. except that with every other activatable mod (except banner) you do less cd on blowtorch? running made even more easy less cd on field supplier? switch weapon immediately to adapt to situations more often without wasting time by running to any machine or wasting a slot on your car less cd on radar jammer? disturb enemy radar twice as often less cd on spotter? get free wallhack twice as often
  14. i really hope gamersfirst is not as tarnished in everyones heads as it is for huge parts of the apb/fe community. i still like apb and hope this ride will continue as a good one, the last few months definitely looked like it.
  15. ye, just kick out the website team etc, hire new people (especially all the experts on conversion from ue 3 to 3.5 (to 4) (especially those familiar with apbs custom code (hint: the former group is not very big either))), once you don't need these anymore, dump them, just hire new ones. this is not how hr etc. works. it's not like there has to be a huge investment made to implement a service like this ofc there are more important things than premium subscriptions
  16. unless you get 0 standing to show up on the scoreboard i think you do get progress - and i have yet to get a mission while unpledged with 0 standing when there is still any non-maxed npc in the district. i've only leveled two characters to 255 yet - i've never pledged after my first 100h in apb. my second r255 char that had premium like 99% of my playtime has 19 days of mission district time and was unpledged at all times. (and i didn't play much since r255) it also progressed the last npc with every mission i've done. so either i had mad rng luck - which i honestly doubt - or it does work a different way. i'm not trying to insult you or anything, however i've experienced that differently. do you have a maxed char that was pledged and had premium most of the time by any chance so you could compare playtime? (i have been afk/searching for missions/playing in an already maxed district for a fair share so it might be higher than the minimum. i'm also not a top tier player so i don't get mad amount of kills so progress can definitely be made faster. however, you should be getting way lower playtime if you do lose massive amounts of standing by not pledging)
  17. The pledging stuff is plainly wrong, as long as there is one contact that isn't max in the district you are in, you will earn standing. The opposite is the case: if you forget to unpledge/pledge to another one after maxing it out, you will not advance. So the safer way is to not pledge at all unless you want something specific. (or to track your progress outside of missions without going to the contacts tab) And if you stop advancing, switch to Waterfront if you were on Financial or vice versa.
  18. ? is this some assumption or are there any facts that back that up? LO LLC had 5m annual sales prior to acquiring apb. i kinda doubt they will have to rely on not paying their staff in near future and of course they might still be using budgets. do you think they just acquired this game without any prior thought? they knew what they were in for, they most likely have seen the stats before too. there has been no real campaigns to bring players in/back so far. if it was looking supee dire, you'd see signs. there haven't sales every few weeks, there haven't been ads for other games etc and other things unlike from g1 yet. they are working on it, as you can see. it was abt the g1 launcher, not the apb launcher.
  19. which choices are being made that kill the game? fixing systems? adding systems? oris this still about shotguns? there are no reasons why the numbers would be rising rn, there is no advertising done by lo - because there isn't much to advertise yet - there is no new content yet - but they are laying a good base here. should they just bash out unfinished stuff to somehow bring in people that will just see the same old stuff? surely that is gonna work out great. the role of consumers is to consume and fall for marketing fads/hypes these days. and have an occassional uproar about anything that slowly crept into market but that won't change much. complaining and feedback is good but "muh playernumbers" is just nonsense. they are/should be fully aware since this is their product though.
  20. hey, if you'd just read, i did say i realize it is low and i did mention that it is a constant drop however, what you stated is factually wrong. you are definitely one month early and in that time stuff can happen. also albeit not bringing in new players the updates lo does rn are very important though. since only upgrading performance and graphics won't make people say that it's a good and polished experience/game that is worth playing, if it still has the same old flawed systems. however, while this might all help retain new people to some degree, bringing old players back will require new content - and the other updates should help retaining them. trading and matchmaking alone won't bring people in. sadly there is work to be done on every side. and mindlessly complaining - making a wild guess here - probably won't help
  21. how is it so hard to just scroll down on the webpage you are just showing? it was actually lower than this 5/6 months ago, just before lo took over so no, your clickbait title is wrong and it is quite easy to find a point like that. it definitely is low though. idk, lo takeover can't stop the constant drop forever. also there isn't much content coming that would keep people playing. it's not like 90% quit because they got scammed on social through a fake trade or because g1 personally upset/banned them.
