    And advanced launcher is legal? I can him normally dow legal i won’t ban for that?

    it is definitely legal, there is no law that prohibits it

     

     

    but yes, LO permits the usage too for the time being. they are looking to integrate the options into the ue3.5 version of the game, that will likely break advanced launcher, so there won't be any need anymore

     

    the biggest thing to look at in the settings should be particle limit if you get drops at times when lots of stuff is going on

    Hi Wadara 

     

     i would agree that your GPU isn't intended for gaming, or be it to the requirement of APBR (even if the gpu box has game advertisement) 

     

    a few extra points. 

    • Vivox chat - open "task manager" and locate vivox and "end task" , (providing you dont want to hear people ingame, this app sucks the life out of your memory)
    • ingame disable vsync and go to low or medium graphics, up the options 1 by 1 until your fps become unstable. (i would expect 40fps on your 745 if lucky) 
    • another option is to run the game in a "window mode" instead of "full screen" or "window full screen", for example running it at 1280x720 is 720hd, can still be intensive, depending on your screen just down size the res by 10 or 20 pixels. 

    your hardware looks good other then Gpu, i would personally have the OS on an ssd and the 1tb as a games drive, especially for APBR.  currently the 960 / 970 or 1060 are coming down in price, and currently you can pick up a sandisk ultra2 or Samsung evo 240gb for under 90£ (in the uk)  . 

     

    Hope that helps dude. all the best

    no need to sign posts on forums xd

     

     

    but nah small differences in res won't do much of a change

     - unless the 10 pixels were jsut a figure of speech.

    lowering res should be the last resort anyway.

     

    running apb from a ssd considerably lowers the lifetime of it because apb writes a lot on it. i use it too, but just putting that out there. (i know you just said OS but ye.)

     

    the gtx 745 IS on the very low end, so you should consider upgrading it to a newer one. a 1050 (ti) should be more than enough for your usage though

    I have a GeForce 1050 Ti and told most of my clan and friends to get one or even a 1080

     

    I normally get 62 fps with it

     

    and no I would not overclock for a grain of sand worth of performance since it only kills your computer faster for hardly any improvements

    even with bigger OCs the cpu will live for 5+ years. i wouldn't recommend it unless he has a good cooler though. the improvements are quite big though - but not needed for APB, his cpu is fine.

    dude its still too barebones and confusing if you're just a new player of a game like APB and have no previous notion of how to play.... APB is a very complex game in the first place because it tries to blend RPG/Shooter mechanics all in one, plus people who play games like GTA or other 3rd person games will play APB the same way most of the time....which in action we have seen makes them silvers. They have slow aim and they really dont know how the game works.

     

     

    at the end of the day they'll just feign ignorance and call it either a "shitty game" or its a "P2W game" without conducting enough research themselves or trying to understand the mechanics of how to play the game because they dont want to change anything about the way they play because theyre so stubborn and want the game to function to their ideals, most of the time that ideal is that all 3rd person games should play like GTA, which would just make APB another generic, run of the mill, boring game

    exactly, it probably needs to be more in-depth but the bigger issue here is that people just don't look at it - cause, you know, how hard can a game be.

     

     

    it can't really teach you tactics or smth either - nor can it help you train your aim.

     

     

    in the end, once you run up to a fence or door, it even says that you can use it when pressing F, without any tutorials but still some of my friends stand in front of it, screaming.

    (of course they aren't my friends anymore (jk))

     

    people just expect every game to be the same and perfect at that, just an anecdote: like e.g. another of my friends said "uhh those are the same cars as in gta sa" "the car handling is like gta sa" and ever since then it was just a bad gta sa to him.

    another complaint was "the aim feels just like an old game, it doesn't register pixel by pixel" - he was using an atac watchman at range and coudn't hit. "maybe if they fix it right it could be an okay gta" was what he said when uninstalling it for now - can't convince everyone, some are just stubborn.

     

    a tutorial won't help if you don't wanna learn

    also i really wouldn't know how they'd be able to improve it effectively. it's good that it doesn't interrupt you and opens popups for every step and limiting your movement etc like some other games do - or display a long video sequence with occasional messages of what to do like gta

     

    i guess it's kinda cool how ow does it, teaching you some things in an extra environment (tho apb doesn't really need it since it's kinda open world and you can roam freely without many dangers)

    but even then, there are some things you can just learn by experience - and i think this is also the biggest part of apb.

    was hoping this was actually about the tutorial because i really do feel like it needs a revamp

    in all honesty that is more important

    Amen to that. 

    do you guys remember the tutorial before that? that one was dreadful. i think we are a bit better now, mostly because it is not really intrusive etc. it should maybe go a bit more indepth - i wouldnt say apb is in desperate need though, i feel like it's still one of the better ones - that is if new people actually used it. most don't even look at it and then wonder why they can't climb over a fence...

     

     

     

     

     

     


  4. if they do this, give it a reasonable limit, like max 3 accs into one. i wouldn't mind a fee that atleast reflects the amount of additional character slots etc - but i guess more would definitely be reasonable

    I want to just say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But I'll wait til I have a valid argument other than "Fuck you, I hate percs!"

     

    Got it:

    It doesn't need a buff because it's pretty strong as it is for both LTL and lethal gameplay. Any stronger and it would render other types of grenades useless for anti-personnel combat with it's already quick throw time and impact detonation.

    it's basically the even lamer version of qs

    + panic button

     

    there u go

    You all know that it costs money to maintain a online game and that it is eventually necessary to sell their products to the players to assure that the game can stay online and running with good Support?!

     

    Sure, it would be nice to get all stuff for free or for a price as low as possible....

    but that is not possible all time.

     

    I only buy Account wide weapons, the other option make no sense for me because i have 14 chars on my main and i want to play with all chars this weapons. I have spend much money on my Acc but that is not the case.

     

    The case is that all the purchased stuff spams my ingame mail after new char creation with over 500 or more mails and it drives me crazy every time to accept them... xD

     

    But i understand what you mean....

    ? i have ~65 acc wide perm weapons (excluding legendaries)

     

    i would pay more for an acc wide kit than a char one

    i own several char kits too

     

    just saying, right now i have to create cars on one char only, otherwise i could do so on each of them - if i had the kits

    that doesnt take any money away from them, i have no real incentive to rebuy them anyway on the others - since i could just send them over. i could just be a bit more lazy then.

     

    and/or use the kits for the cars i already bought accwide.

    Character Bound option is useless... Let's agree on this, if you're gonna buy, buy for account. It's way better. And of course, you can have 4 chars as default per account, so you can use only 1 char but keeping the weapon if in the future you want to create another one.

    And CLOTHING, CAR KITS WITH WHEELS AND AUDIO. All of'em should be ACCOUNT BOUND too.

     

    EXAMPLE: You'll be able to purchase WARAGI PIONEER as ENFORCER with Account Bound option. You'll receive the normal ENFORCER WARAGI. And when you decide to create a CRIMINAL... No problem, a CRIMINAL VARIANT of WARAGI will be at your mail waiting you.

    people still buy the character ones

    why would you force them to pay more

     

    tbf, having the option to get everything accwide would be nice - right now it's only weapons, skins and some packs. the packs give cars and kits too tho.

    I'm not ending it because people disagree, i'm ending it because clearly nobody want's that mechanic, just like everything else.@Lixil

    quite some people were positive about it - but not in the old state

    so arguments/discussion about how to change it are quite good

     

    (sorry lixil, can't remove the tag from the quote for some reason)


  9. Can't wait for my aw3418dw to arrive on tuesday to do this aaaaaaaa

     

    isn't this possible with the advanced launcher anyway? or are there more changes needed?

    KKKC375.png

    this should be fine right?

     

    don't mind the other checkboxes, i have no idea why this stuff was enabled, just changed it.

    Is that harassment? Well, good to know.

     

    You can use words for something you know... everyone can see who voted each option.

    it is, if you think this is

    Should OP be forum banned, or not? Yes or No?

    Because your title is "Should it be nerfed or buffed?" And then Yes or No.

    And for the other bit: Of course you can - usually - but I already wrote an elaborate explanation why this is ambigous - and why you are wrong in this case.

    (If you go by the question of the poll (which you put the answers in for), not the title one.)

    And although you put some bias in the title, from the poll I couldn't possibly judge since you voted for all of them.


  11. On 6/11/2018 at 5:42 AM, Excalibur! said:

    Why the harassment? And you are kinda hypocritical when you got your game account back...

     

    Because if it is nerf its yes and buff no, and people voted no. You just cant understand a simple vote, pls stop.

    Kinda hypocritical to harass people because they were banned :^) It's not like all of them were for a good reason. While I wasn't subject to any bias etc I saw it happen.

    I'm not talking about any particular case though.

    On 6/11/2018 at 9:49 AM, Excalibur! said:

    No, i said yes to beef.

    And my poll is buff or nerf and plenty of options, not only yes...

    Hint: You could just write "Buff" or "Nerf" if you already are able to put in such a variety of options.

    And no, you didn't.

    If you have an OR - a logical disjunction - yes/true means either or both. No way to find out which of the two options was actually chosen.

    No means neither.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_disjunction

    There is no definite way to interprete this, even if it came down to common sense/colloquial stuff.

    You threw questions with alternative readings together and expect us to answer with polar ones.

    You did not put any obvious bias in there either - which would determine what you meant (to some degree)

    It was nerfed before, it killed with 3 bullets... and now with 4. It kills faster than act and is way more accurate at cqc. The equip time is killer.

    Every time i equip this gun as main i instantly start to do well with it. It also has a psychological attack: if you kill with snr the enemy gets humillated and they start getting nervous.

    No definition of what yes/no means here either.

    the point is that lets say some gun can fire a shot every 300 milliseconds. Let's say you fired 3 shots. 1st one 0ms delay, 2nd 368ms delay, 3rd 349ms delay where scroll wheel fires 1st 0ms, 2nd 300ms, 3rd 300ms so while naturally the player's ttk would be 717ms with scroll wheel it would be 600ms. You wouldn't be able to achieve that naturally that's why it's cheating imo.

    You could though. Why not? The human reaction time + muscle memory should be capable of getting results very close to it - and it's not like you get it with the mousewheel every time anyway unless you really spam it (because it doesn't even go THAT fast), and then you'd mess up everything else.

    Right?

    It's not as viable as you claim.

    Well, to be fair, I've never tried after I've done it when I was new to the game - thus I have no idea how much it actually helps. Just thinking about rate the mousewheel clicks + the weapon can be shot makes me believe you need to spin it very fast to get matching cycles - and that you can get the same result not much more effort when just clicking. I feel you are being way too nitpicky and stubborn about this.

    It just makes it a bit more easier in some cases. But this is like complaining that people with red switches need less actuation force than blacks and thus can click faster. It's more of a matter of personal preference to me. If you played with a trigger, instead of a button, you could just spam it more too. If you have mousebuttons with better rebound, you could spam it more too - etc pp.


  13. I went to kindergarten, primary school, "grammar school" and am at university right now. (grammer school + uni are not really posh/expensive over here.)

    I'm working as a tutor at that uni for 10h/week and at Dell for 20h/week parallely to be able to afford my... living?

     

    That's my life till now. Not very exciting. I am glad about the latter bit to be quite honest cause... well, feels like enough trouble to me right now.

    I wonder if I could handle more tension etc.

    Well, I'll be done with my bachelor thesis on tuesday so I'll see what future I'll have from then on. I can't say that I really wanna see though.
