jesus christ i cant tell what’s more cringe, trying to use nostalgia bait for a sale, the shitty fan fiction lore drop, or selling a 1slot gun for 3slot prices how much money are you even going to make off this sale lol, are you sure it’s worth a middle finger to the small playerbase you’ve got left? edit: and little orbit didn’t even make this game so what is this “honoring your creation” garbage???

battleye was the anticheat that kicked players for afterburner iirc, don’t remember having any issues with eac

there’s no staff but reporting summons staff ???

Fine. What does this balance change solve? The N-TEC will still be better than the STAR. New players will have a harder time with a more complex starting weapon. Chances are the STAR will actually end up performing worse as a burst fire assault rifle than it does now. The STAR plays differently enough from the N-TEC to justify its existence and it also has a specific gameplay purpose. Meanwhile the Ursus, Scoped N-TEC, and even the FAR are all way closer to redundant overlap with the base N-TEC, so why not mangle one of them instead? Or why not revive a truly dead gun, and rework the ISSR-A?

Rerolling after a ban was something G1 (inconsistently) enforced, i don’t think orbit cares as long as you aren’t continuing the original banned behavior

no

vegas, coywolf, and pioneer/espacio are pretty interchangeable at this point, with the exception of cargo space jericho, bishada, kurai, moirai, t-25, mikro/vaquero, and the fresno are now useable, although they all have various issues that need fixing everything else is still useless

Arlon Benjamin, and by extension the G-Kings, are the “revolutionaries” looking to overturn the status quo - even if not all the gangbangers are aware of it there’s a decent irl parallel of the G-Kings being the cultural tastemakers of San Paro even as the city relegates them to the bottom rung of society

favorite - OPGL, most fun to play least favorite - SBSR ‘IRS’, why does this even exist? honorable mentions to ATAC ‘Mercenary’ and NSSW ‘Kraken’ for being the coolest looking guns in apb imo

osmaw rockets are projectiles, so theoretically they have no range limit i guess - the fuse timer makes them explode at 142m bullets are hitscan so i assume they require an enemy hitbox to be rendered on your client in order to generate a hit, that’s still limited to ~101m or so

the contacts have been teased as ready for years now, what gives?

i’m not sure my insurance covers armchair psychology sorry you don’t gotta take it personal that i don’t like your playlist my guy, but go off if it makes you feel better

there's multiple tracks from the same artist too, overall 3/10

there's at least 10 artists that are already in the apb soundtrack

assuming unit games isnt some kind of tax loophole, little orbit gets sued into oblivion the second they open source apb reloaded

its 100% chance if you spend $110 tho, what a deal!!!!!!!!!

some of these items were supposedly attached to the new contacts, which we might not even be getting at this rate - but if we do then pushing FOMO now for items that will be completely free in the future is a bit scuzzy

k bye

yeah pretty much, back when we first got battleye, players couldn't use stuff like msi afterburner advanced launcher is officially allowed and distributed by little orbit, its available on their website

the rules have always been pretty clear that all 3rd party programs that affect the game are at risk of triggering bans - the rule is overly broad specifically to cover situations like this where a program may or may not be malicious but still triggers the anticheat there's never going to be a complete list of all disallowed programs, because no anticheat or developer can account for every random custom coded and distributed program like your stencil tool

the database for the web domain? seems pretty self explanatory

i will always believe that if orbit spent a year polishing anarchy/chaos districts (adding open world objectives, proper leaderboards, preventing spawn camping, etc) instead of making RIOT, apb would be in a much better place right now

i dont think macros are that big of a problem in apb because a player generally needs several different fire rates for different engagements, but its actually pretty easy to set up a no recoil or no bloom macro on most gaming mice these days

you're going to get two answers for cheating the cheating is bad the cheating is not bad given your post, i think you'll probably land in "the cheating is bad" category population is objectively bad - it spiked for a bit after the upgrade, but its returned to NA (~100 peak) being unplayable for a majority of the day, and EU (~300 peak) being a bit better off but still not good

it feels like you’re vastly underplaying how much work it would be to add even just this trash-tier bot you’re describing
