vsb

it mentions an ongoing investigation into a fairfight ruleset that resulted in false bans about halfway through if your memory of the xmas event ban wave happening is correct than i think that still counts as false bans, and it's also probably one of the reasons ff was discontinued by orbit - being able to see and/or track player names through supposedly solid environmental structures is definitely not rare in apb

http://old.apbdb.com/track/400529/ i was certain there was a false ban wave that was publicly reverted around the same time as an xmas event but i can't seem to dig up any posts on it, doesn't help that the old forums have been nuked so finding anything is obnoxious

i actually jumped ingame to test ca3 and med spray and only caught a ~2s difference between ca3 regen and ca3 + med spray regen, so it seems like the only advantage ca3 + med spray has is removing the 1.6s regen delay of ca3? given how both item descriptions are written this shouldn't be the case (which makes me wonder if my simple stopwatch tests were just off), but i'm not exactly going to campaign for another med spray buff

this wouldn't render macros useless, it would just make it easier for macro users because they'd no longer need an optimal rof and a max rof macro no i would hope this would become an option ingame, i don't need another 100 hours listening to the same thirty second club song loop

please revert med spray

shame, i do hope this doesn't cross vivox off the list for when/if 2.1 goes live, modern versions of vivox voip are fantastic

changing progression so that it doesnt take ten thousand hours to unlock everything as a f2p player is not the same as "giving new players everything at the start" also different people feel differently about progression - i for one cant stand the ranking up process and only play on my max rank characters (when pop allows), even as someone who owns everything on armas the progression on a new character is obnoxious and irritating

probably because lots of things people assume are simple quick fixes are not, in fact, simple or quick hence the engine upgrade

my thoughts on this video haven't changed since it made the rounds a year-ish ago - its just pointing out a few common sense observations that have already been discussed a billion times and offering no meaningful solutions or suggestions beyond the vague "revamp pls" at the end add in the mistakes on easily verified information and its mostly just a waste of 15 minutes

activation immediately starts regen tho, so its actually 3 seconds with ca3 and instant without ca3

med spray is basically a 500hp button after the latest buff

i actually disagree that the pmg nerf could have been any better - its honestly still a ridiculous gun, but the range was appropriately toned down of course i have serious doubts this was intentional perfection on orbit's part seeing as how they immediately proceeded to mutilate the oca, if only they could achieve the same level of balance with every change apb would be amazing

you could just read the blogposts on the actual website anyways, in order: a report of recent information, no, no, no, this last question makes no sense

new content is worthless when no one can play it, good luck getting anyone to stick around after announcing that current performance is going to continue forever btw we have had an entirely new game mode since 2014 - riot took more than a year of dev time and still came out a buggy mess, why the hell do you think a repeat of that is what will save apb?

no regen delay and halved regen time doesn't sound like nothing to me

yes shift to the current engine that has already caused everyone to leave the game, great idea idk if you cant or wont understand this, but the last 9 years of apb have been "salvaging" whats left of the current engine, and look where its gotten us

imo the best solution would be a decent client side anticheat to stop literally anyone from launching the game with free cheats from a google search, paired with a finely tuned server side anticheat like ff to (hopefully) catch anyone regardless of code quality, or at least force them to lower their advantages but that costs money and resources that orbit probably don't have

or maybe the game is just bad

except weve been told by the very people who did both for a time that ue4 apb just wasnt feasible keeping in mind that orbit hasn't really worked on a game of this scale before it seems pretty believable that it would be easier for them to work on the version that essentially has training wheels, rather than trying to create a AAA equivalent game from scratch

there's a lot less german (?) in my apb

the severity of the issue depends on what exactly matt did to get banned which afaik was never revealed, it could have been something bizarrely specific like standing in a certain spot and doing 360 camera spins or it would have been something anyone might do like tracking spotter tags when fairfight thinks you can't either way we were also told that fairfight wasnt paid for, updated, or maintained for about a year, which also led to it not functioning correctly

they had literally no idea who was cheating or who wasn't and evidence that the anticheat wasn't functioning correctly for at least a year

you would have a point if med spray wasnt buffed, but it was, and thats whats causing the imbalance

seek professional help

the only time i get this is when there's a whole lot of packet loss happening
