you didn’t hear the news? GMs now remove players who are playing too good in order to promote a fairer game experience for lower skilled players :^)

regardless of what anyone else says about little orbit they have put work into apb if we get another year of development at the same pace as the last i think the game will be in a pretty good place product-wise, although whether it will be enough to turn the population around is another matter

proposed solution for the low population causing crappy wait times is to implement a mechanic that will result in the population getting even lower - what will you do when there's only one district period, and you still have to spam to get in? agreed, altho it wouldnt really help the underlying issues a queue system would at least be easier on my mouse when there are full districts

not really unique to sony, console exclusives on pretty much all consoles have been a thing for decades - altho admittedly xbox/microsoft seems to be getting better these days its not even unique to consoles, the same thing is happening with different pc distributors (e.g. borderlands 3's 6 month exclusive release via epic store)

agreed that the dmr now unquestionably has a niche i just don't like that the mechanic basically violates the "rule" that every other gun follows, less damage after x range disagree, the gunplay pre-dropoff system (and even the period directly after tbh) was very polished imo - everything had a fairly logical input/output, and the game wasnt quite so cluttered with wonky guns with their own mechanics obviously there were some issues, things like the ntec and obeya outperforming their niche for example, but those were relatively minor fixes compared to the balance today sprint shooting itself was never actually a problem, and its "fix" (that didnt really fix anything) had unintended negative effects on other guns, i really wish g1 had just left that alone tbh in an attempt to not derail the thread, would you give the norsemen a significantly lower ttk (.6x) and leave their accuracy/bloom alone, a slightly lower ttk (.7x) and slightly better accuracy/bloom, or something different? and would you lower the stk or keep it at 11?

except all the servers were inaccessible this time, character slots were so na players could play on eu servers while na servers were down (and vice versa)

free character slot were given out in the past because specific servers were unplayable, doesnt really apply here

this timing actually works much better for me, guess i can't complain

i'm a big fan of consistency in games, i really dislike that the norseman series (and a few other guns) have unique mods even though they're "normal" guns its the same reason i dislike random unique mechanics like the dmr reverse drop off or the hvr accuracy/damage link (altho i understand the balance reasons behind them), just unnecessary complications of what at one time was a simple, polished gunplay system

the sexual tension is unbearable

i doubt a new company taking over and continuing to enforce bans from an anticheat that they themselves state is not functioning correctly would encourage many banned players to start over fresh, let alone spend more money on the game

lol kevkof if you dont know the answer you dont have to make up countries to seem knowledgeable

not to interrupt your fe parade but apb has a pretty tight knit community too, even if we all hate each other

i can never remember my dreams

i'm tearing up a little bit

have you tried turning it off and on again

they’re bullethose guns that offer no incentive to use as bullethoses either make them significantly more accurate or lower the ttk to somewhere around .7s get rid of the “unique” mods, that’s a garbage mechanic that only belongs on legendaries (maybe throw the ‘odin’ into a joker box if need be)

watch as 2 weeks of premium makes people magically forget they were ready to lynch orbit less than 24 hours ago that aside continued transparency continues to be great (shocker), keep up the good work

but you just compared them

i’d love to tell you the secret but there isn’t one tbh it just takes a lot of practice/trial and error, mostly due to the different shaders inside and outside the character kiosk causing potentially massive differences i guess the biggest tip is don’t be afraid to use symbols to emphasize facial features, that will generally be the difference between a character that looks good in the kiosk and a character that looks good in every district

just have your bank do a chargeback on your credit card then

way ahead of you

stop asking for free stuff

just for that your pennies will be thrown at you, one by one, from moving vehicles over the course of several days we’re sorry for any inconvenience
