  1. except the engine is needed for that new content, unless you want more stuff that is absolute shit like riot
  2. then why not use the always sprint config that has now been officially approved?
  3. could have just leveled up via open conflict or mugging
  4. i have no idea how long ago "back then" means, but is it really surprising that a new company would have a different vision for apb?
  5. i think they accomplished exactly what was said in the patch notes, a .4s or .5s equip time "discourages this playstyle" without outright deleting it, but it does seem relevant to point out that the snub ttk buff technically made jg/snub more forgiving - i'll give orbit the benefit of the doubt that they wanted the playstyle to remain an option while bringing it closer to the "baseline" they're always going on about, and not fumbling around changing values without thinking i also don't think these changes came about just because of big streamers, i've seen complaints about both (altho jg/snub is definitely a lot rarer then pig qs complaints) for years, its just we finally have a company who's willing to listen to the community (or parts of it i guess), for better or worse apparently
  6. almost certain the snub hasn't been touched before this, its just a leftover from when the overall ttk was higher i also don't think the equip time nerf was bad, orbit overshot a bit (.3s or .4s would be more in line with other pistols than .5s) and the follow up buff took a while, but its far from the stupidest balance change orbit has done and its a weird thing for the video to hyper focus on
  7. the biggest reason is because literally everyone who plays has performance issues to some extent, which is something the engine upgrade is supposed to fix
  8. the matchmaking and district system cant happen without the engine upgrade, so that option feels like a duplicate i really dont see why we would have to choose between info about one or the other tbh, altho obviously specifics about anticheat measures should be kept to a minimum
  9. have you ever actually been to the doctor or car mechanic for a serious issue? because both will generally walk through exactly what they're going to do, if they just ask for money they're probably planning on stealing your car or organs "we want results not information" is such a stupid argument because either way the work is going to take the same amount of time, and i'm 99% certain the people who don't want information now were the same ones howling for news and updates when g1 had a complete communication blackout for 3 years
  10. what? just comparing the failed console engine upgrade from g1 to the pc engine upgrade beta from LO shows heaps of progress imo, even though the pc beta wasnt great i retain some hope in orbit because this game has nowhere else to go, from AAA company to predatory f2p publisher to company trying to break into the industry to a single rich buyer, apb is literally at the end of the line edit: christ that video was a waste of 4 minutes of my life
  11. if there was a way to detect ghost shots in real time like that then ghost shots would be fixed
  12. it really doesn't tbh, since both factions are broken up into multiple groups and no organization is really portrayed as good just throw in some flavor text about gang turf conflict or jurisdiction miscommunication and voila
  13. these aren't the only configs you guys are planning on officially approving are they? i kind of assumed there was going to be more performance stabilizing options available, if there are concerns about officially endorsing "clay graphics" there are several streamers who use configs that help performance without sacrificing every polygon
  14. and i bet they harass the people they hackusate too
  15. i'm 99% sure no one is getting banned ingame for hackusating unless they're also legitimately harassing their unfortunate targets
  16. i have to assume he means "use to its fullest skill potential" and the obeya has a whole lot of potential
  17. like customization open world pvp open world shooter player/vehicle movement mechanics sense of community dislike everything else what i want to see in engine update stable performance wacky things i think they should add to apb custom character animation sets SPiN phone brick reskin objective based anarchy/chaos districts rate apb 1-10 based on : - performance (1) - gameplay (7) - community (9) - guns (4) - items (8) - how much u love the GMs (1)
  18. eh if they stick to the pattern we'll get some good changes, some bad changes, one or two changes that make absolutely no sense, and then half of them will get reverted a month or two later anyway
  19. wouldn't surprise me if there was another minor weapon balance patch or two, probably bundled into recycled event patches
  20. probably a minor gripe but i feel like the damage dropoff model should be next to the damage stats instead of below it, and then the ammo and other categories can go underneath
  21. not a great idea in a game that requires teamwork, and vivox can work perfectly tbh, i have to assume we're currently just stuck with a very outdated version that's built into the current engine
  22. because in this case they are, you can claim that you play the same no matter what weapons, mods, and vehicles you're using (spoiler: you don't) but they still require your opponent (in this case a potential new player) to switch playstyles that a new player has absolutely no concept of the skill gap remains unaffected but segregation forcing smurfs means that at least new players can attempt to understand what their opp because they have access to the same base gear looked at the first 4 or 5 and it certainly looks like rolling to me, if the rest are different i have no idea why you led with killstreaks and 2.0+ kdr scoreboards i agree that green threat and green districts should be more involved in the new player process, but i still wouldn't agree with removing segregation even if that happened the way i see it yes, it would be better to possibly lose 1 player over possibly losing however many you rolled in your screenshots
