vsb

youre the only clown that doesnt understand what waypoints are for lol

i doubt hoplon had better servers, but i guess its possible

ghostshots are caused by the tick rate of the server iirc, there'd probably be some kind of improvement the better the game runs but in the end 30fps is 30fps

its necessary to find a good baseline meta before addressing the outliers lmao

as someone who buys themes because i like them and want to hear them, i disagree also you're super late on this

its obvious that "the community" as a whole will never be satisfied since its impossible to cater to every individual person, especially if we ever actually do start getting pop back - more people means more opinions personally i'm not sure i'll ever really be completely satisfied with apb again, the game has just fallen too far behind and there's too many things missing, but even one thing off your example list happening would be enough to keep me around for quite a while

they might read this but i doubt it will change much, they'd essentially have to dump months of balancing work just to get back to a decent starting point

i've been told a few times that its "necessary to find a baseline meta before addressing outliers", seeing the results after a few balance patches im pretty sure i disagree frankly im still not sure what the actual aim was but nerfing a majority of the meta (which was mostly fine and only required a few small scale tweaks imo) has resulted in creating a new, narrower, and less balanced meta which is going to require even further changes and they've begun fixing the outliers anyway, which either implies that the new trash meta is somehow a good example of a "baseline meta" or that it wasn't necessary to bash a bunch of guns over the head in search of a "baseline meta" in the first place

im not gonna thank him for not reading the conversation and blurting out common knowledge, guess you didnt read it either lol

thank you captain obvious?

most pvp shooters are either fps so if someone can see you then you can see their character model, or tps with hitboxes that are tailored to preset character models in order to make apb into option 2 a whole lot of customization would have to be locked away to force every character to have the same hitbox dimensions for fair play - height, weight, any clothing options that change your character's dimensions, maybe even breast size and hair style depending on how exact you want hitboxes to be

well yes but actually no there are too many instances where the hitbox is "visible" but the character model is not visible for apb to get rid of color coded crosshairs and hitmarkers arent reliable either, so thats a poor replacement

maybe they just dont like you

apb makes me sad

for the best possible matchmaking experience, the game should detect the lowest fps player in the mission and artificially limit everyone else's fps to match

we should remove todesklinge then everything will be balanced

whats with this weird assumption that 2.1 is only for "top of the line PCs" ? if that was the case than orbit would just release it right now instead of continuing to work on performance optimization

we are talking about a game that's been in the red for years now i put the failed console release on the console publisher and the dev team they initially had failing to complete the engine upgrade, forcing g1 to step in

apb and compatibility don't belong in the same sentence

not something that can be fixed with a magical finger snap

yes little orbit removed the massive disadvantages from the system, no paying off is/was only an option for 50% of the playerbase were gonna build a wall around san paro

i dont get it, people downloaded random "config" files from random people and then are surprised that its a security risk?

god forbid we keep a system that doles out massive disadvantages regardless of current mission performance - doesn't matter that your sick kill streak was last mission everyone gets a wallhack on you now, even though you're going hard negative balance lol

i think you misunderstood my post

i'm one of those people but it doesnt even have to be "everyone blocks everyone", as long as there are above average players getting hackusated and afk'd against on a regular basis right now then there's going to be above average players getting denied matchmaking because of /ignore+ lists
