  1. idk what that has to do with anything the gun has no spread, no bloom, and no recoil in mms, the gun is entirely reliant on player skill to function
  2. Spread is the crosshair accuracy at any given time, bloom is the increase in spread due to firing the weapon. I separate these terms because I think they need to balanced separately - spread should be minimized in most scenarios, i.e. perfect accuracy when ADS without shooting, and bloom should be the primary obstacle players face in terms of maintaining accuracy and ttk. The issue of guns like the ISSR-C having no spread AND no bloom is a balance problem that needs to be fixed, not an ideal situation that all guns should be changed to.
  3. The N-Tec only reaches its maximum accuracy in ADS. Then once a shot has been fired bloom per shot and recovery per second dictate how long until it reaches its maximum accuracy again, which dictates practical ttk. The tradeoff of speed vs accuracy is entirely in the player’s control, which is perfect - except that currently the N-Tec’s maximum accuracy is not perfect accuracy. That’s the only flaw I think the current weapon mechanics have (besides weapon modifications, but that’s a whole other discussion), is that the maximum accuracy for most guns is not perfect accuracy. But I don’t want bloom and spread removed entirely, because then the game becomes kovaaks reloaded.
  4. It seems like Little Orbit emptied out the vault for the latest contacts, so what, if any, plans are there for new content with such a small team?
  5. Please stop adding legendary weapons, including this new Enchantress the last 3 “legendary” weapons could have easily just been normal guns. I’m sure the fact that legendary weapons cost up to $110 per character bound weapon vs $20 for account bound normal guns has nothing to do with it. This is a good thing, it provides another means of balance and another avenue of mechanical skill progression. I do agree that all guns should achieve maximum accuracy under specific conditions for at least the first bullet though.
  6. Why would you word it like this, this is the worst phrasing I've ever goddamn heard. At your discretion? Cheat at a level there is no other solution? In what circumstance are you not banning a player that you are 100% confident is cheating? Why is there a level of cheating that doesn't get a player banned? And what the hell was the policy on cheating before if this is the "crackdown"????????? I've been skeptical of "cheat points" since you first mentioned them, and this hasn't alleviated any of my concerns. As far as I'm concerned the whole system is just an elaborate way to warn cheaters before they lose their accounts. Now if they get shadow-banned (instead of actually banned), they can just rotate to another account until cheat points expire and suffer no consequences at all - they don't even have to lose the money they spent to buy a new max rank account anymore.
  7. SARD is cooked, even if it was the best anticheat in the world the first impression was an anticheat that was literally off. There’s no fixing that impression - all the players who came back for the new contacts watched cheaters run around with impunity. It doesn’t matter how many cheaters Matt says get banned, the playerbase (what little is left) has no faith in SARD. Little Orbit is on its FOURTH anticheat implementation, how are things not set up correctly for live? Isn’t practice supposed to make perfect?
  8. The players don't care, that's why they're cheating in the first place. Cheating is an inherently selfish act. If you think enough cheaters are going to have a "come-to-god" moment to save the game, there's a nice padded room waiting. You said it yourself, cheating will always be a problem - its a known quantity, a natural phenomenon of the internet, and so the responsibility always falls to the developers. You wouldn't build a house in front of a hurricane without taking proper precautions would you?
  9. SARD is already full of holes, might as well let the linux users play
  10. i refuse to believe you can walk and breathe at the same time
  11. wouldn’t an entirely digital, and therefore easily traceable, economy defeat the entire purpose of money laundering?
  12. same script matt has been repeating for years now a deep “heartfelt” apology, some excuses of technical difficulties, an outline of grand plans for success at some nebulous point in the future, and then he fucks off for 6 months until it’s time for another apology because the last grand plans (who could have seen this coming?!) ran into technical difficulties it’s played out brother, ask chatgpt for some new material
  13. you’re as good at armchair lawyering as you are at apb lmao
  14. you should call 911 and report them
  15. get shadowbanned nerd lmao jk anticheat is off
  16. do you have “low quality health hud” checked in your video settings?
  17. i dont think its a crusade, they just dont know how to balance lol its like watching a toddler throw paint at an easel, sure some of it will stick but there's a fuckin mess behind it
  18. this is why we can’t have nice things, 1/10
  19. vsb

    Headshots in APB?

    is this a chatgpt forum post? regardless, headshots won’t work in apb - the ttk is already too fast for the maps and player movement, any lower and the game becomes even more of a corner simulator
  20. i’m happy that stuff is being done with the eols, but these changes don’t really affect the core problem that these guns still play like an opgl but are inferior in all but the most niche situations id much rather they kept the windup timer and changed all grenades to explode on impact at any range this would still leave the hammer worthless (as it’s always been), but the deep impact and kickback would gain a solid use as primarily cqc options
  21. having tested on otw the new fbw has effectively no bloom at max rof because it resets for every shot its not going to make the fbw the best secondary but thats kind of my point, why did anyone even waste brainpower trying to buff the 2nd best secondary to begin with? maybe next we'll get a recoil reduction for the .45 lol
