    The point is that scroll wheel shooting lets you bypass a big part of the learning curve which is learning the guns, learning how to click fast, learning how to click with a perfect rhythm. Essentially the same thing that macro does.

    No, it does not let you bypass the learning curve.

    The semis benefit from it - but you don't really need to learn them if you could just play any automatic weapon (or sniper) instead and those are 90% of the meta anyways. And those can just get worse by using the scrollwheel.

    A macro doesn't just spam clicks. (Well - if it is a good one)

    You don't tapfire by using the scrollwheel.

    ...i imagine they wouldn't...

    maybe you shouldn't trust your imagination too much :^)

     

    but nah. as i said. it was a weird practice but i guess they still need some things to identify ppl, especially if they put in false birthdates, lost their mailadresses etc.

    (i've never had to myself)

    Bump! :3

    I guess "needed" is subjective but the last post was here friday, so it's not like the thread would've died... anyway. Just a heads-up, nothing mean.

    G1 lifted most - if not all (they said they want to lift all) - PunkBuster bans

     

    There was no AC prior to that so the ban must've been for another reason. If you feel like it was unjust, contact support.

     

    Scamming/Harassment are still bannable though, and if it's not very subjective the bans most likely won't get lifted.

     

    Posts about bans are supposed to get locked on the forums too. Support.

    No. Outcome will be butthurt people you killed multiple times spamming duel invites while texting you to accept.

    "enable duels for"

    > everyone

    > friends + people from last mission

    > friends

    > noone

    (or checkboxes)

     

    however... i feel like witness is enough for now and kinda lowers the priority of stuff like that. might be a fun addition one day tho.

    maybe they could even do custom mission lobbies (invite palyers, select mission/stage, modifiers (time and whatnot) etc.)

    but that seems very far off. and would be quite a lot to implement and might come with issues and problems. i'd rather see some new missions (and bug-free too) before that...

     

    no rewards + weapon roles is the way to go here tho

    hahahaha! You thought THAT is expensive? Let me introduce to you the great **** country of Argentina!

    1usd = 26ars 

     

    lets do the math guys!

    3999G1C = 50 usd

     

    50 x 26 = 1300

     

    now, I don't know about taxes but you get the idea! yay 1300$ for just one gun, sweet

    this is not how conversion works

    it's not $1300 but 1300ars (which is still $50)

    just cause it's more units of a cheaper currency it doesn't mean it's more expensive (except wage and tax differences etc)

     

    the thing in OP is that they just did 1:1 conversion of the prices for G1C on Hoplon despite the actual conversion rate being higher (similar for Innova)

     

    but now that they are merged, it has to be the same value in every country - based on conversion (just like you noticed, 1usd has the same value as 26ars), like it is currently the cause, cause otherwise ppl will just use a vpn to buy it cheaper (as seen on steam).

     

    the prices overall should be lower though. (and probably on hoplon level)

    But they wouldn't be able to login anyway, since they haven't changed their password.

    The error message just sounds like the Gamersfirst Live launcher doesn't have network connectivity (for whatever reason) and not that he entered a wrong name/password combination - or am I missing something here

     

    I guess also check the firewall and add an exception for G1 Live could work...

    It gets blocked by BE and doesn't allow the application to do it's job. Setting priority for the 2 applications that need it (PnkbstrAprogram, APBprogram) isn't a huge deal, but it's a minor annoyance. I'm sure I'm not the only person with a situation like this. My application and purpose might be unique but I'm sure there are many others that have done something or another to deal with this game being poorly optimized. For them, they might not be so lucky to have such a simple resolution. 

     

    Oh, while your title reflected that, your text didn't, I thought you were just being afraid of getting a ban (as stated in the text) and chose a poor title (sorry :P).

    Okay, one note here: G1 even stated you can uninstall Punkbuster. It has been removed from the game for a long time and isn't needed anymore - it's just a relic of the past on your PC.

     

    Others than that, sorry, don't have a solution at hand.

    It doesn't really sound an issue on the side of APB though. (Except for BE blocking your solution to the original problem...)

    oh and add horses while you are at it

     

    and motorcycles and helicopters

    and pets and housing

    and zombie- and racing-district.

     

    okay, we got all the stuff piled up here. finally.

     

    now i can say "no thanks" to 99% of them, all at once.

    I'd like to see them remove that goofy "player is out of bounds" nonsense, which despawns you if you end up on a building's rooftop.

     

    It was huge fun to launch cars and make your way up ontop of skyskrapers and parking garages and stuff, and just mess about exploring the city; the addition of the "out of bounds" nonsense completely ruined that. And I can't agree with it being a gameplay mechanic fix, to prevent exploiting on missions, because 95% of those areas are impossible to reach while in a group.

     

    Bring back the rooftop parties please.

    this, except they might find a way to just enable them in missions. this would be perfect.

     

    i don't even think they should remove much but add something.

     

    of course, get rid of the obvious bugs (like glitching items etc) which g1 did too partly

    okay, except telephones of death, please keep them <:

    but ye, most other things are annoying, like cars flipping in the middle of the road etc.

    I'll give this an 6/10 - i was a lot into that metalcore/hardcore/post-hardcore stuff when i was 14-18 - but now I think many of those bands sound very similar - I like the chill intro-bit, although I am not too much a fan of the voice in the clean vocals. i like the screams and the tempo in general. the lyrics are nice but give me the general ~core-vibe. it's not bad to me - but doesn't seem to special.

    (found a new band recently that brings me back to liking -core but definitely won't be my daily driver
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWurkdQBlAE)

     

    anyway, let's see... my favourite -core song in the last few years was this, so i guess i'll go with that for now:

    egdy - and definitely not everyones cup of tea xd

    but i enjoyed that. these days i enjoy tyler/odd future generally most of the time xd

    I know that Tiggs said long time ago it's ok to use advanced apb launcher but LO said it's not recommended because you might get falsely banned when BattlEye is in place. Or maybe i missed an announcements stating otherwise, so are you completely sure about this?

    you did miss something, am on phone, will look later. (or look up matts post in the meantime)

    yep ugly suff happeed, and even worse when g1 did the comparison the pics they took as old ones looked even worse than they truly do, so they were kinda fake to make the new oens look better than they actually are. Not even talking about that huge layer of red tint they just plastered over the new one.

     

    I just want a normal looking graphic without overodne bloom, some proepr light and no weird sahde slapped over so make a yellow look yelow and red red and blue blue, not the weird reddish titn we have now that makes a real dark blue puplish and a yellow slightly orange. I want it to look like in the designer.

     

    the social comparison video doesn't even feature grass in the old ones and slaps look like like not even having gaps.

     

    meanwhile my social

     

     


    0hJ9rmx.jpg
     

     

    where I can see every single leaf on the tree.

     

    and take the vid from 0:33 where youc an actualyl se gaps in the old way, which when te vid later returns to the old graphics are compeltely gone.

     

    meanwhile in my APB I can see the gaps a long range



    WBqfYv7.jpg

    G1 really did well faking that comparison with a low quality "old" verison vs a high quality new Version.

     

     

    You can definitely make out some grass in the video (0:50)

    I can't really tell in the beginning of the video but it isn't the best quality either.

    I can see just as many leafs in the video as I can see in yours. As I said, it's not the best quality - but yeah, I don't really see much of a difference, except for some brightness. Maybe contrast is a little bit off too.

    The new trees definitely look better than the old ones.

    Also, mind the perspective - but I do agree, the video was made to create some bias towards the new engine - the reasons for this are obvious though and companies... well... do that. It's not unusal.

    (sorry for the doublepost, but this is really not related to my other one, which was on-topic)
