if they type in chat you can just click on their name to message them. replace /w with /ignore or copy the name.
if they are in the mission you can do the same with the whisper button for e.g. reporting (since there's also a checkbox for ignoring there...)

kinda ruins it for people who wanna be completioniststo add to this: that's not an apb exclusive "issue"
trying to be a completionist on steam is pretty much a lost cause
at least one game from valve even has at least one broken achievement... for years.
it's "only" a completionist issue which are a niche group. same as those that want their shiny exclusive achievemnts no one can get anymore :^)
i think most are just happy to get an achievement popup once in a while or having some to work for.
personally i wouldn't mind to make every achievement obtainable again - but i also wouldn't care if they don't wanna take away the achievements people worked for ages ago, thinking they'd be exclusive and there to stay.

Health damage is 850
Hard damage is the damage to cars and the N-HVR only deals 102 of that (850 would be insane xd part of me wants to see an n-hvr that can 1hit cars now - not like actually in the game, just for fun)
unless you meant 850 is *hard*

nice neutral survey
i haven't been playing with spotter too much - but it's clear that it needs a nerf. i fully am against removing it though maybe add a limit, like, tracking 1 person at a time for a shorter duration (but possibly lowering the cooldown in return?)
it really isn't as bad as a "real" wallhack though.

APB has devolved into this: Stomping morons who can barely operate a mouse 95% of the time, and getting good opp the other 5% of the time.
What you're saying makes sense - but i think those 2 are not exclusive. Once I play a game long enough, I naturally become a tryhard. It's my normal way of playing - but that doesn't make it not tryhard. After 5k hours in Dota 2, it's hard to not play tryhard, because you know all the mechanics - and it's very competitive. Why not use them? You basically have to use them. (This does turn my games way less fun at times.)
In APB... eh, I'm not that good - but when I get nooby enemies, it rarely is fun to uber-stomp them. I don't have that "issue" in Dota 2, since there is a way bigger playerbase and thus much more close matching.
In both games, when I do get bad enemies, it's much more fun to go for meme-y builds/loadouts. This kinda gives them a better chance and is more fun - and:
This isn't super tryhard - you could still stick with using every available mechanic and advantage. This doesn't seem too natural to me.
Playing on a high-level and tryharding there however? Is that really tryhard, when everyone is doing it and it's kinda required? This seems like the natural way of playing there.
But... if you're stomping noobs with strats that really wouldn't be needed - that's actually tryhard. And... eh. Seems like a bad habit.
Howver, there are more ways of tryharding than the "naturally skilled, high-level player" one to me - e.g. running in APB. This isn't a good or skilled strat, not even required by any means - it's just trying too hard to win.

there are no simple export options
only the aforementioned manual conversions
if you want a similar experience to the apb symbol editor, try inkscape (free) or adobe illustrator (paid)
ninjaripper for models is slightly risky, since it reads the games memory - much like what cheats do. anticheats did block it in the past and do block it at least in some games - not sure what the current situation with apb. just be warned - however, those bans might also be reverted if it hits a lot of people. not sure what their stance is precisely, but it is a 3rd party tool that reads memory, so it might very well be prohibited/only use at own risk.

On 4/26/2020 at 1:08 AM, MartinPL said:One obvious change to the survey is the removal of the "No opinion" option since it didn't really indicate anything.
good idea, good-ish survey but:
I don't like this because I haven't had a chance to play all of them - or see them in action much - so it's very hard to judge - which undoubtedly will mess with the results.
this makes it the polar opposite of a proper statistical survey.
a "don't know", "no opinion" and/or in this case "barely saw it in action (recently)" should always be included
you might still wanna remove those values when evaluating the results - but forcing people to put a random cross because you didn't provide much needed options - hell, removed them on purpose - seems pretty wrong.
i'd also love to see how biased people that (do not) own the weapons are/how their opinion changed from before trying to after trying but one can only dream...

12 hours ago, ShaiShai said:most people that say guns arnt broken are just abusers of that type of gun and are afraid if that so called gun gets nurfed
as for golds doing 25 - 5 , thats normal, ive seen them do that even with out the atac
that's a pretty bold assumption to make. while that definitely happens, i don't think it's *most* people. i haven't seen many atac crutches recently - and that's because...
the gun was pretty much overpowered (mostly because it was way too easy AND versatile to use) but it's in a pretty fair state right now. it is indeed strong in it's niche - and i wish there were good alternatives for that. but that's really only in its niche. it does get outranged by ntec and star (and other longer range weapons, obviously) and does get beat by smgs in closer ranges. which is how it should be.
not close to being broken though, may need some slight tweaking for a ever so slightly higher minimum ttk - but i'd rather not see them touch guns that really don't need it that bad.

i don’t know if i would shorten the actual progression time, but where and when items that affect gameplay are unlocked definitely needs a thorough revamp
ye this.
if there were any important items that were unlocked super late - yes, they should be swapped with others.
are there though? no there are not - besides 195 mods. removing the rank requirement/lowering it to e.g. 40 is probably a no-brainer at this point. but moving them forward a lot might be a weird change - but honestly i wouldn't mind too much - but otherwise there are still the social auctions.
the idea of having to work/being able to work towards specific things has always been great to me. when i started apb i wanted an osmaw so bad - and i had something to work for. i really don't support the "everyone gets everything with low effort"-attitude. it's not even gatekeeping or anything, it's just that most things in the higher ranks are really not required and simply QoL things (such as cars with 3+ slots) - and even then, you can focus on specific targets via pledging.
since you also get rewards from contacts very regularly and not only upon maxing, i do think the system is actually not bad at all.

23 minutes ago, AlishaAzure said:Sure, i just commented with "^^^^^^^^^^^^^^" under a comment for saying that i agreed with that person
....and you don't see anything wrong with this?
not adding anything, essentially spamming pointless posts. there are reactions to support a post - quotes are for responses.
and apparently you do not get banned for that, since it was just removed without further comment. i believe they do give warnings. i don't think this removal needed further comments either - but they do put a reply when removing a lot of posts that do not add to the discussion. not as a warning though, i believe, but because people tend to whine when their ((partially) pointless (not making a blanket statement that only pointless posts get removed, i don't know about that)) posts are removed.
pardon the offtopic

9 hours ago, Acornie said:Joker is clearly best. There are many NA and SA who have committed to EU due to the higher pop, and by the time NA is getting to peak, EU is dormant.
ah, fair enough.
i thought you wanted eu citizens to come over, when there is really no reason to, having higher pop and way lower latency.
(i know the higher pop argument is flawed if some of this pop is from the americas - but i believe the people from there came over due to higher pop to begin with)

3 hours ago, Acornie said:some of that EU pop could come and play on NY servers, hint hint.
but why would one from eu want to
it's clearly the inferior way of playing

On 3/10/2020 at 4:43 PM, Senodus said:Why would you ever add even more of those joker shit boxes. Just release the gun for direct buy like all the other armas weapons for like 30$. You just took a major hit to your reputation by releasing yet another jmb and saying that ridiculous statement. Sad.
"This is our first small step towards making sure Joker Mystery Boxes remain a compelling and exciting part of your APB gameplay."
What a sad joke of a statement. They never were compelling and exciting and never will, no matter what you do or add to them. Paying for trash with a tiny possibility of getting something decent never is. Gambling in games is god damn atrocious.
the other weapons are way less than $30 these days
others than that, i wholeheartedly agree. if they at least did it like the showstopper where there are unmodded variants available on armas and in joker store - and the legendary one had some special mod... but no.

uhh... with this budget...
your choices are:
ugly patootie tn-panel for >gaming (there's only a handful 120+hz displays for that price and the image quality just doesn't look nice)
or slightly better looking, slow (like 60hz) va- or ips-panels
(i've actually seen an ips freesync 50-75hz one for that price though.)
so which size do you want? 19"? 21"? 24"? 27"? 3... jk, who am i kidding

it's illogical - since character names are usually used for whispering, reporting and other console commands.

12 hours ago, Hypothesis said:I respect that you are being loyal to LO. But nothing to show other than some updates that in a week you see a leap and next week you see that is reversed, this has been going on since the start when LO took over . The worst idea behind launching RIOT mode prior to release of EU , the failure to balance weapons etc.
There is no assumptions , I only believe in results and so far its mostly failures.
so how is this related to
On 2/22/2020 at 6:49 AM, Hypothesis said:what about those false hopes lol
which was obviously nonsense.
i'm loyal to no one but they show gradual progress with the engine upgrade, which is what this thread was about.
not about shotgun changes or anything.
but if you wanna argue about that:
reverting if something goes badly is now a bad thing? they tried something and learned their lessons. that's progress. not nothing.
they employed a bunch of fixes (e.g. yukon) and released a bunch of content for joker and armas already - no reverts.
plus - they had valid reasons for riot: content drought means no one is happy but first and foremost it got their developers good experience with the engine without messing up the main project, the engine upgrade.
lo isn't perfect by any means. i'd wish for more too. but saying they are doing nothing or not making progress is plainly false.
you got another very cool and funny gif for that?
stay ignorant.

7 hours ago, Hypothesis said:what about those false hopes lol
?
are you talking about... false promises? or false hopes? if you mean the former...
do you mean the one time they said they wanted to have testers on it early 2019 and only delivered on that in the middle of 2019?
g1 was the one saying q1(?) 2014, not lo lmao.
besides - do you think they didn't/don't want to be done sooner but just push the launch back so they can continue earning less money?
lo is "notoriously" rarely releasing dates or making promises since they are aware of what promises and not delivering on them do. you still having false hopes is your own damn fault then.
like come on fam, they are doing whatever is in their might already because it's also in their best interest since they (very bold assumption here, please don't nail me down on this one) want to continue to exist as a company lmao

engine go wrooooooom

ah yes, the engine will make it better than gta 6.

yes, keep everything the same about it, the engine will make it AAA.
