vsb

mattscott has mentioned it across multiple Q&As, so i'm pretty sure they're aware of it

it makes perfect sense and its already what's happening to a lot of stuff (e.g. mobile radar tower), everything on the current engine is likely being weighed on a scale - is it worth it to pull devs off the engine upgrade for this or not? i assume ghostshots are a time intensive problem, so it doesnt make sense to delay the engine upgrade looking for a fix when the engine upgrade is the fix

you're asking orbit to fix something that's already been fixed in the future, essentially doing extra work that will all be wasted once they delete the current engine version of apb

dont need to ban people if they can't even play the game lol

sure automation is helpful, but the point was that removing bloom entirely can't be done by the player

i'm fairly sure the insinuation here is intentional, so i guess my question is why would you want to be involved in a discussion of cheat programs without at least a passing knowledge of the subject being discussed? this isn't the same thing as removing bloom

as long as you're having fun (and learning new stuff) its worth it imo if you mean from orbit's POV, then i think such a massive community collaboration has a lot of positive PR potential and new content on this scale has a ton of replayability my play time has dramatically decreased over the last few years, but i like to think i'd play more if there was a whole new action district to explore that said even a new map won't help much if it suffers from the same issues as the rest of the game, so its difficult to put a project like this in front of other potential population fixes i'd like to see the battle royale concept dropped entirely and orbit to focus on creating a more fleshed out version of the anarchy/chaos district ruleset - open world objectives, larger scale missions, free for all/team-based/faction-based, etc the broad strokes would be fight club but for mission gameplay, where its easy to just jump in and do some objectives or kill a bunch of people or hold/attack an area, but without waiting 20 minutes for a mission to start and without the "nothing matters" vibe that fc encourages its really cool to see community stuff like this, regardless of the game's current state, i really hope this project gets some positive results down the line

both images taken from the video posted earlier (00:52 specifically), left side is when not firing and right side is after firing 3 bullets recoil is the movement of a player's camera, and thus the entire crosshair, to a different location as a result of firing a weapon spread is the radius or diameter of the crosshair at any given moment bloom is the radius or diameter of the crosshair increasing as a result of firing a weapon this is how i generally define these terms in apb, and its obvious that while the cheater in the video has no recoil they still have spread and bloom iirc true nospread "hacks" were briefly available in early 2012 by changing a value in the game files, something which g1 fixed within 2 weeks by forcing that value to be calculated server side i think you can still alter the value to get similar results, as in the video below, but because the server ignores the client side values the crosshair effects are not correctly representing what the server is forcing to happen - which is why he's not landing shots on the civilian despite his client showing he has "no spread" Merged. you can't "almost ignore" effective distance for the ntec, at 95m it's doing 30% of its maximum damage (185 * 0.3 = 55.5) so even landing every shot you're looking at 18 shots to kill (2.4s minimum) plus time allowed for bloom recovery, your ttk is easily pushing 3-4 seconds - that's four times longer than the ntec's min ttk within its effective range

you can literally see in the video that he has bloom lmao this is why you arent in spct :^)

"posted 8 hours ago" so does this mean that your point is wrong op?

thread isnt really about what clothing should be added

pioneer and jericho are definitely better than their crim counterparts, vaquero could go either way i guess i wouldnt have any issue with crims getting ltl, not that anyone would play it after the first month of shiny-new-toy-effect, just like enfs i dont really consider a feature that so few people actually use on the regular "content" thats a bit subjective, i personally think crims get better kits for most of the cross faction vehicle packs

bigger maintenance windows :^)

crims got the vaquero crims got the pioneer crims got the jericho the only faction specific vegas part i can think of (apart from police lights) is the ugly bull bar on the enf firehawk kit we were told months ago these are to be unlocks for the new contacts coming with the engine upgrade

ftfy

there's an actual uninstaller.exe that's probably better to use

be nice if it we get a toggle option or a slider for it in the far future

i don't hate the idea tbh, better than just having the gun sitting around as a shitty knockoff of the sniper variant

you have 11k blitz 1 medals and 627 blitz 4 medals, are you reading backwards?

thats some heavy interpretation

why would you buy a theme for other people? and songs dont play when you get mvp, altho i do like your suggestion to allow song snippets as themes

i don't really want to start this dumb back and forth again, but apb is entirely pvp based so its competitive by default

probably someone who doesn't play anymore

so you want the issr-a to be super accurate when hipfiring?

you know, you're right - the devs dont need to interact with us for anything that they can just look at the database for no more balance posts, no more feedback threads, no more anticheat discussions, no interaction for anything since little orbit can just look at the numbers
