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

2.1 isnt really anything new either since much of the work towards the engine upgrade is intended to fix things behind the scenes - people might come back for it but without the new content release schedule and important fixes should come with/after the full beta release, i think a lot of those same people would quickly leave again its also worth noting that the 2.1 betas so far have only included asylum and social, so the appeal is even narrower

at what point does it just become permanent free premium until further notice lol

what the hell is a soft triggerbot

if they didn't want people moving at sprint speed with medium items they would have stuck in the same pickup animation that exists on heavy items, suggesting that because g1 didnt want to spend thousands of dollars to hire an animator they didnt want medium item jumping to exist is pretty dumb as always when this topic comes up, i'll point out that defining medium item jumping as an exploit means that jump kicking doors is also an exploit

it doesnt apply to every gold and there are definitely those who purposely stomp to feed their ego, but things like positioning and weapon use really are just automatic after a certain point
