Very glad to see the OCA Whisper being placed where it ACTUALLY belongs. When you announced making everything on par with the Whisper stats I really would have loved it the other way around due to the OP range but now that it is nerfed I have absolutely nothing against the change to make everything using the same statline.

I am sorry but I am gonna have to refuse. I know that makes it MY problem and not theirs. But I feel like splitting communicaiton on APB:R of all things is not something that should exist. Players on the forum read news becaue they love APB:R. Giving them a 'refer a friend' kind of mechanics or a 'subscribe here for more!' kind of this is in my opinion stupid. I joined the forums to chat and read and learn about APB:R. I ain't joining servers, begging for betacodes or subscribing to emailservices to do just that. Just like Netflix and their streamingthings. One is enough, I am not crazy. I will not pay up because people started 'dividing' things.

Feels you owe us. Not much work. Quick messaging like this in specific quickmsg forum channels. Showcase work performed. Easy way trust. Small talk way of showing care. Possibly incomplete no matter.

Slay! ^,.,^

Impossible challenge.

I feel like the post above is very important.

I've never thought of this but this would actually be great for my F2Proad to 255 (yeah the titlte got outdated xD) series.

Yeah this is probably the better idea. I kinda disable chat when I'm streaming (for obvious reasons). Just be warned that if someone is able to 'grief' or 'annoy' you, they will probably take it >.> It's best to come prepared.

Don't think I'm with mr. PullA'Fast1Food' over here, but I am glad work is still ongoing on APB:R. This game is simply a gem I hold dear to my heart and even though I am gonna be nostalgic for some old stuff (like instant-car entering), I am willing to fight with LO on this one for 100%. Never give up on something you love. We are gamers, no? APB:R has given me some hell of a matches sometimes, but I didn't let that demoralise me (though I have 'dodged' matches for having the same certain people I just played against). Still here!

I presume you take pride in stating that but for the future, you should just skip that first sentence. Psychological tells there. Just a universal tip ^,-

Gives me a chance to stream one last time and say farewell to the mechan.... Errr, I mean bug that is the instant vehicle entering. APB's 'Golden Rules' are changing, wow. Never thought my guides would get 'outdated' at some points. (The weaponchanges were fine but one day I'll give them my full-on attention and then it is gonna get scary :P)

Huh, very curious. For the veterans who keep coming back to APB:R I would see this as a win. But the devs would probably blow up something in the spaghetticode so I'm gonna play it safe xD

The QoL change regarding the vehicle teleportation is somewhat sad to see. As I've been making some guides to get people introduced into APB:R and telling them the 'Golden Rules' I've also spoken about how this glitch/bug is actually a feature. Been hammering the idea of don't play fair in APB and this had always been a staple of it. Also please make the OCA-Whisper follow the OCA variants and not the other way around. Nobody likes engaged a Whisper at 50M and possilby losing.

Any chance we get to see a 'store' option to set like a 'loadout' for weapons? I've accumulated tons of duplicate mods just to (spend my cash but also) speed up the process of swapping weapons in the midst and crucial points in a mission. And I've also been wondering if LessThanLethal weaponry could get attention one and possibly an opposite thing for the criminals? (no idea what to expect from this but highly curious nontheless) EDIT: One thing that bothers me is (on a smaller scope (heh) the weakness of the Scoped N-TEC but more importantly: The added redmod that increases range made the SBSR 'IRS' completely outclassed by the SBSR "Corona", I would love to see a small change/nerf(Corona)/buff(IRS) to give an advantage for either gun in their own way.

How about the Scoped NTEC-5 becoming a "Marksman rifle" that plays like an Obeya but is more accuracte and stable. It's firerate is horrible so it's TTK is NOT oppressive but you can land your shots effectively. Kind of like a worse STAR "LCR" as you're not allowed to move and having to stand still completely. Having a firerate slower than sped-up counting. It's similar to what we have now (or rather what it WANTS to be) but giving it 'Marksman rifle' attributes can help it set apart from the rest in the N-TEC series. Emphasizing on long range and making it bad at medium-ranges where the N-TEC can outshine the Scoped variant with ease. Guess it would be a NOT-OP bootleg N-TECc7 'New Glory'. 6 shots to kill, terrible RPM. But atleast you're allowed to hit things and at further ranges, making it 'technicly useable'.

If you disagree on it not being underpowered and therefore completely disproving this ENTIRE topic then atleast try to explain why you would think that way so that the topic could be resolved. As for only cosmetic items, I wholeheartedly agree. Not really what this was all about but yeah, all for that. The problem however is that you are gonna get nerfed hard for using this variant when using the normal N-TEC (which you get really early in the game) is much better. There is no incentive to use it. Hec, who ever does use it? I look forward to reading your strategy as to how to make the gun work in your favor (over other weaponry).

Funny you mention this as a joke. But the more I think about it, the more I realise that the SHAW and the playstyle of the Scoped N-TEC is kinda similar. But then the question is, why settle for a 30~ ammo magazine tapfiring when you can hold down the button and rain lead amongst an even further distance? Not much of an 'assault rifle' now is it? I bet the SHAW could lead the front better.

Personally I think that the NTEC-7c 'New Glory' stole all the expertise of what the Scoped NTEC-5 wanted to be. Whilst it is fair that such a dramatic change would indeed make it a 'Legendary' status, along with having a much more modular model. I do think that the NTEC-7c stole the spotlight of what could have been. As for the Scoped NTEC-5, I think the zoom could be increased alongside its effective range (+- 15m), but this would have to come with a big trade-off. Standing still for this however, is unacceptable.

The Scoped NTEC-5. Nobody ever uses it, nobody ever needs to. As someone who performs extensive experimentations on a variety, if not all, weapons, I'd say that the ARMAS Scoped NTEC-5 is incredibly underpowered. It's main gimmick is that the weapon, over it's normal NTEC-5 counterpart, gains more zoom (in terms of FOV) when you aim down sights. This is a neat something, but it has minimal impact on performance as the accuracy you gain with it is almost unnoticable. Let alone if you started firing a second bullet. What does help the weapon over its normal counterpart is that it has a SLIGHTLY less severe damage drop-off when hitting targets beyond the maximum damage range. At the very best difference at 65m it takes 8 shots to kill opposed to the non-scoped NTEC-5's 10 shots. Though as for its downside, you'll get a massive penalty to your accuracy if you are moving and aiming, which is not a problem for the normal NTEC-5. In fact, it is recommended to use Mobility Sling on the NTEC-5 so you can become more nimbler with it as you are aiming. The Scoped NTEC-5 however, gets absolutely crippled when you try to move and aim. Standing still just to get a very tiny benefit of a better zoom mid-combat is suicide. The increased zoom does not help the gun in a realistic fight at the range it's meant to be in and it makes close quarter combat slightly less effective as well (though this was already a weakpoint of the NTEC-5 series). Truth be told that if both user and enemy combatant are not in their optimal weaponrange and require more shots than usual, the smaller damage reduction beyond maximum range COULD be of help. but fighting someone outside of your comfortzone is not a smart thing to do, nor is it a good gameplan (and yes, I've tested this). Other weapons emphasize on adaptibility much much better. TL:DR, the Scoped NTEC-5 wants to be more accurate and longer ranged but fails to make an impact on both ends. The downside of crippling your gun when moving is a good way to commit suicide. Nobody uses it nor do they want to. So I would like to ask here on the forum what YOU would want to see for the weapon in terms of a balancing touch-up towards the current day of APB:R. I'm not asking for it to be overpowered nor to replace the NTEC-5, but as of now it is a downgrade in almost all circumstances. Give it some specialisation that would make a player want to use this (compared to...) (and of course the emphasis should lie on the difference of it being 'scoped' in contrast of the 'nonscoped' variants.)

Oh don't worry. I have very low expectations and that is even IF they tried to cook up something.

Anywho, to be on-topic. I would LOVE to have a 'Set Weapon Modification' system where you can Save and Load weapons with personally preset mods when you swtich to them. Constantly re-applying reflexes, hunting sights and whatnot gets timeconsuming and sometimes fails mission-critical moments. At this point I think I've bought like over 8 Hunting Sight 3's and also a lot more duplicates from other mods, just so that the switches to my personal favourites and flexible weaponry is quick. (though I'd still like this feature one day :P)

Oof, rageposting multiplethreads?

So what can I say except you're welcome? ^,^

Oh my apoligies, hold on. I'll get a list of every single secondary so I can list them all for you under the label of that these weapons are not really a problem. Bar maybe the Joker-RFP then, and if you're so sure about the Nano I'll put it in the list of "These are okay secondaries" along with the rest.

My guy, no one is gonna complain about a dang Mountie or PDW or N-FA. Not about FBW, not about Showstopper. People are already saying the FR0G would be a fair thing to go up against... I COULD however see people complain about the Joker-RFP or the OCA-Nano if they really went looking for something to complain on but c'mon man. We ain't petty. But .45 crosses a clear line.
