    A good point of reference:

     

    I had an internship in Germany a few years ago where I stayed for 3 months. I played APB during my time in Germany on the NA server. I genuinely didn’t notice a difference.

    I wouldn’t worry about it much.

    what was your average latency? i find anything over 100ms extremely noticeable, especially on actions that already have a delay like driving 

     

     

     

    roadmap looks nice, but like matt said it also seems very aspirational 

     

    guess we’ll see

    afaik the npc ai isn't actually ai, its just a sequence of animations or something

     

    thats why npc vehicles freeze in place when moved, because the animations no longer line up with the distance they're supposed to move

    -Disable red crosshair

    Add the option to remove crosshair but keep hitmarks

    some people have  tried it and told me they like it but they don't use because of no hitmarks. They are WAY more important than red crosshair, I am sure decent amount of people would be using it.

    relying on hitmarkers in 2023 lol

    Had it plenty of times, it should come back. Especially when i was stomping a team, it gave them the breather they needed and a way to balance up the game.

    that still doesn’t make any sense - you stomp hard enough to get notoriety, die once, and then get right back to stomping

     

    what kind of balance is that?

     

     

     

    the bounty system has always been flawed at its core because it wasn’t intended as a balancing mechanic, its supposed to be an extra reward for players who were already playing well, but the pitiful rewards for pvp kills are entirely not worth the consequences of a bounty

     

    also worth noting that one faction could pay down their notoriety and the other couldn’t, another poor mechanic tacked onto the system

    But as the team with the advantage keeps mowing people down, they'd get bounties, which meant they became targets for anyone in the district to attack, which weakened their advantage and gave the struggling team a slightly better chance.

    i never understood the notoriety system as a balancing mechanic - if you're getting beat down so badly that 50 other players are activated as "backup" wouldn't you want the mission to end as soon as possible, rather than dragging things out with a single bounty kill?

    APB definitely needs something that refreshens it is style to look like a brand new game (Not by completely ruining the nostalgic aesthetic)

    apb is never going to look like a brand new game, its simply too old at this point

     

    a better investment would be some kind of art director to ensure that apb has a cohesive and stylized art direction going forward - omochabox and stockwell are long gone and their leftover art has been recycled to death at this point

    If you hide in one of the "nah nah nah" spots on a hold mission on a 1v1 or 2v1 in your favor [gold = 2 silver, so a single gold or two silvers could use the spots in this case]; we all know where they are so it "shouldn't be hard" to fence them then check if the item is sitting in it

    why not just fix the spots instead?

    I like how everyone just missed the point completely.

     

    Doing something bannable should result in a ban, not messing with an account. This situation shows either incompetency whether it is an accident or immaturity whether it was on purpose. 

    The outfit ban is pretty much a null point in this entire topic.

    yeah everyone gets that, we just don’t care because he’s the kind of person that should probably be permabanned, and there’s nothing we can do about his account anyway

     

    maybe the next person to get a bugged account will at least pretend to be a well-adjusted human being and everyone will be up in arms for them, but until then “don’t do stupid shit and get banned” is a solid fix for this issue

    Or maybe u can start using your eyes and stop playing on shitty graphics where its not possible to see under the car(with some exceptions where it's just not possible to see on any graphics). Anybody can disable crosshair in the game and use custom(which also disables hitmarkers) which is WAY bigger disadvantage than no red crosshair. They need to stop dumbing down the game.

    it has nothing to do with graphics, the hitbox is literally larger than the character model at all times, its super common to be able to shoot a player behind full crouch cover without their character model ever being visible

    I will never understand why ya'll use this as your argument against Happy Landings. You've already lost the fight the moment you chose to forfeit a position of superiority by jumping down to the enemy. Additionally, if you're suffering the bracing crouch animation, it means you would've taken damage from that fall normally. This means that you would've given the enemy a shot or two worth of damage, same as being stuck in the animation. In other words, your argument applies both ways and is thus moot.

     

    The reason that Happy Landings is used twofold. Firstly, it lets you ignore height at near zero personal risk. Thus, you can take paths that allow faster objective completion. Secondly, it helps you escape from a bad situation. With it, you can jump off from high places to escape, whereas without it you would just be stuck and die. That is the power of the mod, not some fantasy of offensive usage.

     

    The only real alternative is Car Surfer, which is a decision of utility. It only matters in two situations: Your team has a car that can't fit everyone inside (considering the meta vehicle is the Vegas, this is common), or you need to use heavy weapons to take down pursuing vehicles (most obvious example being the armored truck escort final stage).

     

    Hard landing is, unfortunately, a trap mod. It offers no real benefits, while imposing a critical weakness that is very easily punished.

    i consider happy landings useless because the only time i take fall damage is while attacking an enemy, otherwise it’s more than easy to traverse the environment without taking damage

     

    in an escape scenario relying on big jumps will get you killed anyway, being locked into any animation is generally fatal

     

    hard landings is immensely useful because it doesn’t lock you into an animation, the ability to instantly start dealing damage more than makes up for any increased fall damage

    Git gud. 

     

    If you have not experienced two players spam jumping with LTL OGPL then you are unable to understand my pain. 

     

    Happy Landing is a staple modification. I don't think it should prevent 100% of fall damage. 80% at most. 

    just shoot them? also if your issue is with the opgl-cd then why nerf the opgl?

     

    happy landings is definitely not a staple modification, its just the only blue character mod easily available until r195 - there's a reason decent players don't run it, the landing animation costs you fights
