they only had one contest for the joker store clothing/cars, it was right before we got tiggs iirc i agree it would be cool to have it be a semi regular thing

laughs in atac 'mercenary'

well it doesnt have a 90m dropoff so im going to have to say its not a sniper

the shredder was always intended to be a close-midrange shotgun, it trades the raw damage and fast ttk for dominating cqc for the tight spread and marksmanship modifiers to compete further out 25m-30m barely scratches the mid range of assault rifles (read: ntec), the shredder instead directly competes with the carbine and the atac - both of which are better than it imo

semi automatic weapons are balanced around their theoretical min ttk scroll wheeling does not change that theoretical min ttk therefore scroll wheeling does not unbalance semi automatic weapons

where did you get your percentage numbers?

a partial rebalance was probably all we needed, but with the way orbit has jumped in with both feet and made some fairly sweeping changes its probably a safe bet that theyre going to touch a majority of the weapons (at the very least)

theres an actual player to player trading system in the works, where each player has to post and agree with the trade before accepting it with said trading system on the way this is likely just a way for them to cut down on support tickets in the meantime (trade at your own risk until the secure option makes it through testing), since they said nearly a third of all support tickets received are about scams advertising as a middleman was a bannable offense iirc, since the official Trusted Trader program was shut down due to several trusted traders using their official status to scam people this would qualify as RMT and has always been against the ToS, save for a very brief time when GM Trading was allowed regardless of how dumb i think one has to be to get scammed, the support cutoff was kind of premature at the time it sounded fine since the trading system was complete it just needed testing, but its been a few weeks now with no news

havent posted in a while, heres some uninspired cityscapes

i was waiting for posts like these cant wait for them to pop up every time the meta changes due to balancing, as if people gravitating towards the easiest weapon choices is somehow a grand conspiracy orchestrated by little orbit

adding new ways for players to obtain f2p content is something that needs to happen imo i think role level 5, 10, and 15 should unlock the corresponding 0slot, 1slot, and 2slot armas weapons for leasing perhaps role 16 could unlock 3slot armas weapons for leasing, or possible even create a role 17 for that i really like the idea of roles being account bound tho

personally i dont really have an issue with running itself, but i think theres too many things that indirectly unbalance it (car surfer, blowtorch, low mission timers, etc), but its easier to nerf running itself than all those different things i like your idea but i'd prefer if the area was for the item instead, a 300m radius where if the item crosses the border it respawns somewhere within (similar to how items work when dropped out of bounds) not sure if it should respawn in the same place every time since thats potentially exploitable

male walking animation is horrible, its like rtw brought a gorilla into mocap that day and got the captures mixed up female walking animation is generic stripper walk, therefore it looks bad on just about every character

i counted 6 or 7 shots, which would put the ttk at about 1.5s - 1.7s the shredder might be slightly overtuned but a video of you running around in the open missing all your shots and getting killed doesnt really help your case

excellent meme usage

armas weapons should never be more powerful than a free weapon the fang isnt really worse, its just more specialized - better at range in exchange for cqc ability, altho realistically its cqc ability hasnt changed much since you'd rarely hit min ttk anyway

i dont think it being a "reskin" would be an issue tbh maybe im biased since ive wanted a customizable version for ages

flare guns already do pretty decent hard damage, altho its kind of a waste to use them for that i feel the same way about stamina damage, altho i guess giving them the ability to stun is fine i hesitate to touch the flare gun at all since its very well balanced atm - giving it more ammo is relatively minor but it does mean more chances to tag someone or more coverage of someone who is tagged, which is a really big advantage

https://apbreloaded.gamersfirst.com/2018/06/apb-roadmap.html the only concrete info we've gotten iirc the version numbers seem to indicate this is before the engine update and we've already gotten the new gun, so we might see it in the next month or two

have you tried turning it off and on again?

yes for real tho, getting scammed in apb is entirely your own fault so he doesn’t really deserve any sympathy

yes? in fact it would probably be underpowered

thanks for the update chief

atac is .7s for 50m and it’s piss easy to use, it’s balanced just fine
