    Shouldn't HAN be merged with Citadel, considering the Citadel server location?

    that's good news .

    will I have trouble changing my name ? my character on the server the Han named same as Jericho character ?

    in relation to the resulting ping, this would be a better solution .   NA 260 ms , EU 140-150, Nekrova 130-140 , Han -260 ms 
    citadel should be frankfurt, atleast it was with g1.

    obviously citadel isn't located in australia.
    that's obviously nonsense.

    europe is literally on the other side of the globe.

    I think it would be a bad idea.
    That is ridiculous and it would not be in Little Orbits best interest as far as revenue and not to mention it would not be fair to players that have maintained non-violation accounts.
    Buy your weapons account wide.
    >>>>>This merging is just a way of you people that want it to shortchange Little Orbit. They made a substantial investment in buying gamersfirst<<<<< 
    You people expect them to give you everything. 
    That isn't how business works.
    As for the CEO.... he has spoken of fondness for APB. I can see it, but fact it fact it is about the bottom line. $$$
    Servers and Techs don't pay for themselves.
    Have a great day and stop whining.

    How does it change anything if I bought weapons accountwide?
    If i merged accounts, I might get them on all of them then, so that would actually be "worse"
    They could always base it on account"value" as well though

    (somewhat over 70 weapons accwide + something over 10 legendaries here)

    merging accounts as a paid service would just be another source for money
    it would "punish" people for not buying character slots and creating the accounts instead if they now wanted to merge them and they'd need to pay (more), if they now want to have all chars together

    Hi, i stopped the game since a long time, indeed, i'm waiting for some changes... But i see nothing in Forum, so... Let me ask you ! 🙂

    1 -  Battleye is set up on the game and working ? Or it's like end june/july and we don't feel there is anticheat on apb reloaded ?
    2 - Do we have some new armas weapon ? Raf (Refer a friend) available ?
    3 - There is an approximatively date for Engine Upgrade (lol) ?

    Thanks you for your futur answer !

    1) yes. people still claim everyone is cheating though, just as always. didn't encounter any blatant though. and you couldn't tell for closets.
    2) yes, no
    3) no, but soon(tm)

    and although you didn't ask, currently there is shotgun meta, since they were buffed "a bit" too much. they are working on it and have fixes proposed that are currently (also publically) being tested

    The points system needs to be flat out removed. It was one of the worst updates this game has ever received.

    it seems fair enough. when you perform well, you get a higher threat - it prevents people from just looking at their kda too much and makes them go for objectives. which should be the case when it comes to missions, you can't win by just killing. it also enables people who performed well but lost to still get a higher threat to get matched with better people (mostly teammates)

    not saying it's perfect or that it doesn't need tweaks.

    i am aware threat is also useless rn, however, this is another issue.

  9. Posted · Edited by neophobia

    this could be a thing if those scores actually mattered at all. right now they just determine threat. and while every forum edgelord cares about them to devalue the opinions of a silver (i'm pleading guilty for myself too), barely anyone else really does. except when it comes to scapegoating and clanrequirements (the latter being fair enough.)

    this shouldn't be a thing because weapons shouldn't be downright worse than others. all should be viable choices in their niche.
    yes, some weapons are bound to net more kills/assists/medals - but this is always dependant on the situation. yes, a star won't give you many points when your oppositions runs. yes, an alig won't give you many points when you are defending a cqc spot. you shouldn't be rewarded when you pick a wrong weapon for a situation. (although people like to stick to one weapon or don't have many as a loadout available - this, however is another issue)
    this also isn't a solution to e.g. star being outperformed by ntec etc. they should both have dis-/advantages - and they do have that already, the star is generally more easy to use... well but that's it. it can't really compete in high skilllevels mostly. score doesn't really do this.
    (this isn't comparable to csgo btw, the galil might be outclassed by the ak - but there, it is about economy, a thing we don't have in apbmatches)

    there you go, i knew how to reply to this.
    wasn't that hard.

    Just post a weekly thread, including a screenie of Steam Charts. It should also include rather aggressive statements including, but not limited to;

    • You don't know what you're doing LO, you know nothing about TPS games!!
    • Revert EVERYTHING, game is unplayable!!
    • G1 knew more about this game
    Please remember also to:
    • Ignore the vastly improved communication
    • Ignore that actual changes are actually happening in the actual game!!
    • Ignore the transparency from LO
    • Refuse to participate in weapon/mod testing, both on OTW or on the Live Servers. Also remember to refuse to provide qualified, sensible, and balanced feedback
    Finally, if someone offers an opinion on your threads, which does not perfectly align with your own view - attack them personally. Every single one of them.

    You got no clue what you're talking about, all games except for gw2 has toxic community.

    Do you know whats worse than a toxic community? a victimized community.

    guess you never encountered a guild-mom in gw2 and overly thirsty guildmates when one woman/girl enters teamspeak/the guild in general.
    this is not just as bad as other mmos but possibly even worse.

    yet another post that doesn't show up on the forum admin tracker... please fix this Q_Q

    you can do custom trackers and just add/remove people. the links are even shareable, you can always modify and save them again.
    https://forums.gamersfirst.com/discover/15/
    mine includes all mods and admins i encountered so far and is being "maintained". just remove them and save again. if you "favourite" a tracker, it shows up on the bar underneath the forum banner etc.

    game is still 32bit using around 2cores so it will perform fine if its above 3ghz





    untill UE3.5 if thats a success and they OPTIMIZE it to use our pc juice
    EDIT: Get a gpu
    this is about the "igpu" not the performance of the cpu in general.
    the cpu performance as-is will be fine. apb has one thread so it is using a maximum of one core, which is totally unrelated to it being 32bit.

    BTT: yes, it will run. just don't expect more than 25-35 fps on minimal setting at 720p. (it might be better, just start off with low expectations)
    tweak it a bit further (using the advanced launcher) and you might end up on a solid 30-something on full hd (1920x1080), if your screen supports that (hopefully).

    the "igpus" are not terrible but not great either. try to get your hands on a dedicated gpu. even a gtx 660 is enough to run this game at 60+fps on high at full hd resolution.

    a "decent" mobile i3 from 6 years ago handled 20-25fps at 720p. everything above that should be okay, if you don't have high expectations.

    remember, you'll also need a compatible motherboard (any am4 300- oder 400-series chipset) and ram (ddr4) if you go for this cpu.
    if you are unsure, just check compability on https://pcpartpicker.com

    I only bring up ARMAS costs because if you dont think you should have to pay more for a legendary than for an account bound ARMAS gun, then what is the point of having JMB anyways?

    kinda special and also tradeable weapons?

    armas costs are way too high either way. (i have 76 acc perm but i suppose not everyone is as... willing... as me to put that much into a game.)

    well then the best way to make JMB better than is to leave the droprate
    And give us something better than 3day guns, or allow us to sell/trade these trail weapons in the market
    yeah, or atleast limit the 3day lease pool to weapons you don't own yet (while keeping the same overall probability though - checking which weapons you own etc might be quite complicated though). flooding social mp with trial guns doesn't seem reasonable though. add an option for selling/exchanging those leases for a few jt would be fair as well. however... that seems like a lot of effort i guess.

    also, your poll is an alternative question but expects polar answers while it is not clear or implied in any way which of the polar answer represents either alternative... umm... ye.

    and didnt we have this very topic just some days if not hours ago

    Im wondering, DO you think acquiring a legendary should ever require spending more than you would for an account bound ARMAS weapon ?
     
    idk but i feel like $50 is too low, and $100 could be too high but you got to keep the cashflow going somehow. But i rather have a guarantee 1 if i spend around $100 than spending $400 and never get 1
    50 is literally a fullprice fullfledged game. they are worse than other weapons. "blackmarket" value used to be lower (and probably still is)

    all this guaranteed stuff is nonsense though anyway.

    agree.
    FIX shredder first.
    N-TEC is fine. The problem is Shredder.
    Shredder is really really broken now. 
    And everyone are using shotgun , its boring.

    i disagree...played for 2hours and in 70% of all the games i played atleast 1 of the 4 had a shotgun... so not everyone 
    more like 4 out of 4
    (or atleast 3)

    Here's a thing that I believe most players are not getting.

    Let's say you have 1% chance of getting a Legendary from a JMB.
    You'd guess "well, then let's buy 100 JMBs, one of them is guaranteed to have a Legendary".

    See, that's the mistake that almost everyone makes.

    The percentage of getting the cool reward out of a lootbox (in this case, a Legendary out of a JMB) applies to every single box, not the stack. Each box has a 99% probability of giving you something else.
    You might be the luckiest man in history and get 50 Legendaries even with that low chance, or you could be like me and get none.

    Let's say we increase the chance to 10% because f*ck easy profits, we want to give Legendaries to a lot of people (not mocking you here, in case you're reading something wrong between the lines).
    Let's say you buy 100 JMBs again because, with that percentage buff, your chances are now generously higher than before.

    Would you finally get a (sort of) guaranteed shot at the Legendary?

    F*ck no Jimmy, f*ck no.

    You may very well still end up with lots of stuff that is not what you were looking for because of the same principle: the 10% chance applies to every single box.
    It doesn't mean you're getting a guaranteed Legendary after ~10 rolls. Hell, it doesn't even mean you're guaranteed to get one after 50 rolls either.

    The same strategy applies for every game, and every player from a certain game will tell you their lootbox system is rigged/gambling/unfair. Every single one.

    But that is just probability. The answer is the same for every game.

    Now, we might also believe this is more like gambling than probability, but unless the whole process is revealed we don't know for sure.
    All I can tell you is that, whenever somebody tells me the lootbox system in a certain game is more like gambling, I am reminded about how claw machines work.
    Though, to be honest, those are real money milking machines than gambling machines.

    Bottom line of this is: if you're not into lootbox gambling, then spend your time farming APB$ instead, then pick your Legendaries off the Auction House. That's what I'd do, honestly

    0.99^100 = 36.6%
    0.90^10 = 34.9%
    0.9^50 = 0.5%
    Those are the chances to not get any legendaries in your three scenarios. You could've said that way shorter.

    Lol, $50 is way to cheap... pls remind that acc wide weapons costs around this price...

    $100 would be okay for a guaranteed drop.

    just cause other weapons are overpriced (we're talking the price of a full game here) it doesn't mean that everything should be overpriced.
    and even then, there is no justification why legendaries should be twice as expensive as others.
    (you could also see the "actual" market value from (forbidden) real money trades, they were lower than normal weapons)
    (excluding sales cause there's not only 50% on armas but also JMB BOGO etc,)
    (i own around 80 weapons accountwide perm and like 15 legendaries on top (can't check at office pc lmao), i still think the prices are too high for most players.)

    also, actually unlocking the "normal" weapons as 3 slot leases takes much more grind than to earn one legendary...

    they had issues with redeeming etc so it was removed for now.

    Hi there,

    We removed it until we can fix an issue with how that DLC is redeemed. There have a number of customer support issues related to it.

    Thanks,
