vsb

apb consists of both na and eu servers

we've now had 3 separate companies tell us that apb is a dumpster fire, at what point do we take their word for it? multiple vehicles dont interact correctly with physics, adding a certain legendary managed to break the radar system to this day, and even weapon skins manage to shuffle weapon models around every time a new skin is added devs pushing the engine beyond its breaking point in order to squeeze in new content doesn't strike me as a sign that the code's just fine because the game still has the same performance issues, in some cases even worse performance issues due to new tech, that it did ten years ago, which is only highlighted by the slew of half finished features and poorly thought out new content piled on top of it im not sure it matters how well a game is balanced if half the players can barely run it in an acceptable state certainly simple stat changes don't seem like they'd require much work at all aside from extensive testing but, to bring this back around to adding pieces of other successful games, not all of the balancing apb needs now or would need for new content is just simple stat changes

i don't think its false at all, rtw's lax management allowed for massive feature bloat and we ended up getting a buggy mess of whatever could be finished by launch day

people who keep buying multiple armas weapons on repeat are skimping on character slots because they're expensive, what? to put it in perspective yesterday apb peaked at 483 players, even if every single one of them bought the most expensive pack on armas it wouldnt even be enough to pay a single dev for the year

chasing the hype and trying to cram a million cool pieces of other games together is a concerning suggestion to me, since thats pretty much how we ended up with a dead game in the first place - relying on the same one-in-a-million luck that allowed apb to barely maintain a sense of cohesion and function a decade ago is not something i'd be comfortable with, especially with orbit's track record fortnite and apex were both built around their respective gimmicks by huge companies, smashing different things into apb and seeing how they stick is both costly and a huge time suck for potentially worse than zero payoff, as evidenced by the 1 month disaster of a BR mode that took 1 year of dev time

we dont have to stick to ca3, but that doesnt mean current med spray is balanced either and a 45s cd means that med spray can safely be used on every single push, which it is

smh full hp in less than 2s is fine and balanced, smh these silvers dont know anything smh

on one hand im happy med spray is getting fixed (please dont do the stupid thing where you try to balance the broken state instead of reverting to before it broke and then trying to balance), on the other hand now im worried about what else is going to get fucked up

everyone watc then repot bva for cheat

that's exactly the problem, explosives as they are right now would become hilariously overpowered without friendly fire

remote det and meteor don't do any damage themselves, they just force the vehicle to explode all the damage depends on the vehicle stats, which makes remote det the better choice imo, since several vehicles deal more hp and hard damage per explosion the strength of the carbine is its versatility - it can fight mid range opponents in cqc and cqc opponents at mid range, but as a result dedicated weapons will generally outperform it within their range its also one of the more difficult to use weapons in the game, so chances are anyone using it well is a level above the average oca m1 spammer

i think its another instance of orbit touching something that was perfectly fine because they have no idea what they're doing

it would be great to get easy anticheat back but i have to wonder about the security flaws a freeware anticheat might have, how easy (no pun intended) would it be for cheat makers to get access simply by posing as devs?

its 2.2 now apparently, so 2.1 is probably never getting released

absolutely not lol

if you hate premade groups now, youre not going to enjoy no friendly fire lmao

judging by past performance, absolutely not i can only assume youre using it incorrectly, since you arent supposed to be in the vehicle when it explodes

they're not going to give another eta, not really much point in a q&a other than that for a majority of people imo

it doesn't mean anything

great provider you got there also revert med spray

blood effects are client side and so are not proof of damage

are all your friends dead?

it was possible to obtain people's ip addresses through vivox, which would then allow you to ddos them a similar method is still possible on consoles, due to the way microsoft handles parties

revert med spray

putting aside the fact that it doesnt, what would be the issue if that were true? apb is far from the only game designed around teamplay
