Man i wish LO took over APB a couple of years ago. There was a time i was putting 15 hours a day into APB. I would love to be on the SPCT team and be an active part in rebuilding this beautiful game, but i just don't have time anymore with stupid work and general adulting. Thanks for all the hard work LO and SPCT teams. Best of luck in moving forward to release!

Thanks Matt. This really should be of utmost importance. Other problems with APB may detract from the fun, but the server performance is making it totally unplayable. It'll kill off the hype that's reviving the game pretty quickly.

HVR's problem is mobility rather than damage. Its way too easy to tap someone with a handgun, switch to the HVR and finish them off. It also can be fired in succession very quickly. It needs additional delay on equipping it and readying it for a shot, as well as additional recoil and slower "true up" time for a lack of a better term. You could reduce the damage from 85 to 75 and mitigate the handgun trick, but it'll still be devastating given how mobile it is. A sniper rifle is a tricky thing to balance anyway. Regardless how utterly worthless you make it, it'll always be powerful in the hands of a skilled player simply by the nature in which sniper rifles operate.
