    The fulfillment of a promise. I quit playing when it was obvious G1 had no intentions of actually finishing the engine upgrade. I'll stalk the forums or log on to drive around every 6 months or so, but I haven't really wanted to play APB since maybe 2013. No matter how the engine upgrade goes, good or bad, if it gets done it'll show me that Little Orbit is willing to do SOMETHING. That they're willing to try. And that's what will get me to play again because that's all I want.

    what about Perc + Shotgun?  At least if you are stunned you can get back up.  You also realize that the PIG has a 10 meter range before it drops to zero effectiveness plus it only has an ammo capacity of 1 and a VERY long reload timer.

    Yes, perc + shotgun come very close. Yes, I realize that. I've used it. Many players can't consistently use it. (See the end of my reply.)

    In exchange has 100m efficiency... so we fall under the nerf circle again. OPGL has free movement and 1k damage (aka instant kill)... "b-but is not accurate", you make it accurate plus percs, it has like 80m aprox reach. PMG op, shotgun op etc etc etc.

     

    Yes, but if I have the HVR at a long range, my opponent isn't going to pop their head out. The thing is.. OPGL, PMG, and Shotgun aren't cheese-mode if you're forced to fight in their range.

    I guess what I'm saying is, somebody who is a pro with percs + PIG will stomp on anybody forced to fight in their range, which missions will do occasionally. Somebody with perc + shotgun might be able to stand up to them if their pellets land correctly. Of course, this doesn't happen consistently. Hell no. It's hard to do. But in the hands of someone who rarely misses with their PIG and consistently achieves the near-instant TTS it feels ridiculous. I've experienced it a few times. My stance is that it would be nice not to nerf the PIG or Percs so that all the other players can't use it, but the near-instant stun should not exist to be abused by someone who can abuse it. Maybe it's not possible to achieve that, but that's what I think.

    But then, that same player keeps killing you with shotgun... has better awareness, better reflex, better aim etc etc and you say "oh this player is indeed better than me, there is nothing i could do right now but get better in the game".

    You can still play around cars... you can still use remote det that still working after u are stunned... you can still keep your distance... you can keep double perc them before attacking. If you keep with your pusillanimous excuses there is not much you can improve.

     

    What prevents you to equip a nhvr, tag them first and perc them? You are making me think you are the problem but not the other player, you are llooking for way too many excuses to lead people to think "pig is op", "cop role is op" and increase the hysteria.

     

    But my point is, it's not fair because perc + PIG has an insanely lower time to stun than other guns' time to kill. The HVR does a lot of damage, but does not have any of the mobility you would want up close. Between two people, let's say they have near-perfect aim, forced to fight in a tight alley or nearly point-blank, the perc + PIG is flat-out the better option. The most similar thing you can get to it is percs + shotgun, but the shotgun has spread (which means there's potential for your shot to not do the damage you need) and does not do as much health damage as the PIG does stamina damage. In addition, green mods do not affect stamina, only health. It's much easier to throw your perc and then hit any part of your opponent's hitbox with the PIG than it is to throw your perc and then hit the center of your opponent's hitbox with a shotgun.

    You can think I'm the problem if you want. I'm fine with that. I haven't been convinced at all. My argument only applies to percs + PIG. I think the PIG itself is fine. I think the rest of LTL is fine.

     

    Edit: Yes, you can absolutely keep your distance and use cars. Of course I do that when I can. However, some objectives will force you to play in their range.

    Any with the same skills would get you down anyways... remember this games has low ttk, around 0.7 (even less). You cant punish all players because a few have mastered a gun, or a "dirty" tactic.

    Thats when you start realizing that playing in groups or depending more on your teammates is good against ltl. Even criminal side get rewarded fairly good for saving another criminal. Sometimes is better just to kill both criminal and enforcer to save a mission or a situation or prevent more damage.

     

    I do beg to differ, because when my opposition is really good with a shotgun, if I die it feels like "Oh, I messed up. They had better aim than me and I should have killed them before they killed me." However, when the opposition is just as good with this combo, it feels like "There was literally nothing I could do. My gun is unable to kill them before the time it took for them to stun me. It was over the moment they saw me."

    How to counter pig perc combo:

    1. aproach and 600 dmg him first, he will perc and kill himself and you live because you get stuned.

    2. Corner camp.

    3. equip percs yourself and do point 1.

    4. play allways in packs.

    5. avoid getting close.

    6. zigzag or desync with semiautomatic guns.

     

    I still dont see the problem but many solutions...

     

     

    I mean, I could try. The person I fought was a literal god with it.

    1: He was definitely smart enough not to perc himself.
    2: Worked a few times. I didn't have the opportunity to do this all the time.
    3: Probably could have done that in hindsight, would only work IF I can land perfect shotgun hits in.
    4: Not always possible.
    5: Not always possible.
    6: I'll be honest, I'm not sure what you mean here.


    It just doesn't feel like it works as intended to me. Somebody with near-perfect aim can steamroll close-quarters objectives by just running in and near-instantly-stunning opposition. I'm not saying it's easy to do because I play both sides and the PIG is hard for me to use. But against someone who uses it perfectly and religiously, it just feels like I had much less of a chance if that makes sense. But if it's as viable to counter as you say, I would like to try and "git gud" and have some practice against it.

    I think LTL is fine. The only thing to look at is perc+PIG. That stun is INSANELY fast and you still have a primary weapon to fall back on. I've played a few matches where as soon as my opponent was in range, I knew it was already over. I couldn't do anything when the mission objectives were in a tight spot. I know you can overcome this with good teamwork, but in a 1v1 situation there's no chance.

    Shout out to Philanthropist for making my night a few days ago when I drove up to him in a dump truck.

    "Hey, how it's going?" "Pretty great, how are you?" "I'm doing good, just thinking of getting some food. Maybe pizza." "Oh yeah, pizza sounds great. Do you mind if I get out and shoot you?" "Oh, I don't mind at all. But uh, I'll shoot back at you." I proceeded to get out and gun him down. Later we laid plans to open up a pizza place. 10/10 experience.
