vsb

looks super weird because it’s a video, in reality it’s a lot like having peripheral vision ingame and everything isn’t so “smushed”

spending real money to obtain an advantage ingame that cannot be obtained otherwise by this definition the halved modification cooldowns from premium and several of the modded secondary weapons available on armas could be considered p2w i hesitate to call 3slot weapons p2w (there is a grind that is skipped, so pay2convenience is how i see it) and i similarly hesitate to call armas/JT weapons p2w as they are balanced with positives and negatives just like f2p weapons theres nothing like that in apb unless you are simply losing a firefight to a different gun, no modification or armas purchase increases damage

additional matchmaking parameters like that would probably just play havoc with the already subpar system - who gets matched up with a high gold player using the base star and no character mods? either it sandbags matchmaking and they get easier opp or it overcomplicates matchmaking and theres no equivalent opp in the district who is high threat but low gear score no real timeline since we dont even have a concrete date on the engine upgrade after that it depends on what bugs need fixing, and then what orbits priorities are on the core problems of apb

other way around, but this is getting old so whatever doubtful it will be happening until after the engine upgrade as it doesnt make much sense to redo matchmaking when phasing is a planned change to come, why do twice the work?

heres a detail im curious about, how come you've only gone apb detective on this specific new account

unreal levels of backpedaling lul

means that achieving a headshot is not actual skill idk how you could say this means anything other than headshots = no skill good job on joining the mongoloids who resort to namecalling instead of actual arguments

of course, its not the bad hitreg, the barely-running servers, the unbalanced gameplay, the bad matchmaking, the terrible new player experience, or the high armas prices its the clans, clans are killing the game unreal

theres really not, it would require every character's height/width to be locked to a specific value the technical hurdles are pretty insignificant in compared to the gameplay issues this would cause since im lazy af heres some my thoughts from the last time this came up, minimal editing to remove unrelated content new players wont have a chance to fight back, with headshots theyll just be overwhelmed before they can even react

are the forum mods players? i was under the assumption they're actual employees

hard pass

i feel personally attacked they may have changed it, this info is from lixil but its about 5 months old now i'd post screenshots but i dont want that 10th warning lul

last i knew 10 warnings would cause the forums to automatically ban you, but admins can undo that at their discretion warning number 9 will force all posts to be approved by a moderator before it goes public, lasts indefinitely

you can only repeat the same responses to different people so many times before it gets annoying/frustrating

i foresee this going badly for yood, i don’t think he’s ever been respectful or understandable tbh

i dont think cooky even has an ego tbh

what the hell is that screenshot, it doesnt look anything like the forums except the bg lol

you keep calling other people rude but you're also the only one in this thread consistently tossing around insults maybe its time to take a step back from the keyboard homie the crux of everyone else's argument is that it doesnt matter if its unbalanced, because ltl is inherently worse its like complaining about unbalanced teams in a mission, when your team is a group of 4 golds and the opposition is a group of 3 golds and 1 silver

yeah a lot of them did, g1 took more than a year to migrate accounts after innova shutdown

there are weapons with different stats, and only russian innova transfer accounts would have them it wouldnt exactly be fair for a citadel player with a 550 damage scout to face a nekrova player with a 650 damage scout

"the facts dont support my argument so i'll pretend they dont exist" - great reasoning my dude, you should def be on the dev team an ltl player has to: stun - overcome the significant performance disadvantage of their gun vs a lethal weapon arrest - stop fighting and perform a specific timed action (and in most cases, relocate to the area where the arrestee was stunned) wait for respawn - an arrested player can be freed so an ltl player either A) watches the arrested player, taking them both out of the fight, or B) leaves the arrested player, risking them being freed and flanking your team a lethal player has to kill an ltl player, who is using a subpar weapon do you understand how the "time advantage" works for both teams now, or do i have to use smaller words im not going to bother explaining how ltl primaries have a longer ttk than nearly all of their equivalent lethal counterparts, because thats something a bronze should understand

orbits very first action was to implement a brand new "industry standard" anticheat, idk if id call that tolerating cheaters

pretty sure the only way nekrova transfers are going to happen is if you lose the unique weapons and play the same game as the rest of us i feel for you guys tho, lost ur paid items or lose the ability to play apb, tough choice

you say its disingenuous but then you go and do the same thing in the other direction, do you really think cheat providers are making enough money off apb to dedicate the time and effort to maintain a working cheat? there were cheat providers discontinuing apb cheats years ago when we had 2k players, now that we cant even break 1k things have suddenly changed? its "hella WOW" that anyone believes that cheats and games dont update over time, for instance nospread (since everyone seems heated over it) was "patched out" by g1 moving spread calculation serverside where it cant be affected externally unless someone actually compromised the servers - which would immediately be seen since that would allow far more opportunities than a single cheat feature on a 12 dollar subscription cheat

except if you’re losing fights to an ltl team you would be getting completely stomped if they used lethal weapons the time advantage cuts both ways as well, because ltl weapons take at least twice as much time as lethal weapons to remove a player from the match - and even then no player is truly “out” until they respawn
