agreed but that still leaves us with a newer player having to replace carspawner, a mod so necessary/important that progression was changed to include it at the very beginning, over happy landings

as of the last info g1 gave us on the threat system, the larger the gap between two opponents threats the less a higher threat player will “upthreat” from winning or the more they’ll dethreat from losing so even a lower win rate in silver should theoretically increase threat faster and increase threat higher than a higher win rate in bronze

it’s not like happy landings is a necessary mod, compared to having to replace car spawner and changing car surfer to a vehicle mod won’t do much if it’s still r195

i could believe that, i know several people who just pop into fc for a match or two as a warmup before missions - compared to waiting for riot to start and the length of the actual matches plus fc isn’t anything new, people who don’t like it are well aware that they don’t like it, compared to riot getting 40% of the active population trying it out

car mods consumables character mods oh its just weapons please euthanize me im smart

you're missing like 6 mods bro

there was a quick Q&A on the "unofficial official" apb discord the other day, here's a bunch of screenshots because im too lazy to actually transcribe it tried to keep things separated by topic

immediately dismissing anyone who disagrees with your suggestions is a shit way to encourage positive discussion for someone who doesn’t care you bring up this topic just about everywhere me think thou doth protest too much

all that free money for all those cool legendaries but there's no one to shoot :(((((((

i think the point where you understand the underlying mentality is also probably the point where you start dethreating lol

its a feature

did you not even read the last patch notes

don't quote me on this but i believe so, hopefully performance optimization moves apb away from being so dependent on single core clock speed

what are you even talking about tbh, they reached out to the 2nd biggest forum shitposter for spct i don’t think they’re worried about controversial topics

i predict there’s actually several different causes, orbit will fix half of them, claim they’re all fixed, and then promptly move on to something else

easy matches that’s all it boils down to, whether the given reason is “tryhards” or “cheaters” or “relaxing” or whatever other thinly veiled excuse people use

i’d like riot to be fun, i think that would be a reward all itself

idk what your evidence is (i hope it’s not someone saying “ya u got me” after getting rage whispered) but how would a macro even have helped with the event

what exactly was toxic in his reply lol

stop ramraiding :^)

wow i’m late on this one not gonna read the thread since i assume its is a rehash of decade old arguments heres mine: dethreating will exist until threat is less exploitable and it’s difficult/impossible to intentionally get opped against lower threats/new players - whether this means phasing, deleting threat levels, hyperstrict GMs, whatever, is up to little orbit to decide

fc is always a mess
