  1. I think you're just misunderstanding my post, I was agreeing with you. Im sure you're just used to this community being negative at most turns. I'm about building the APB community, not something outside of it. I'm about supporting the game itself, G1 in the light of it is only the developer as it was before. As long at it's doing something directly for the game, it's the right choice.
  2. I like the idea of SPCM coming back or something like it. If segregation was removed , I think there would be less risk of a member intentionally going into a threat district not meant for them and would potentially end up causing previous incidents that happened. Will screening be done by staff, players/staff or just players? Including that, if there was a SPCM group, maybe make a "Help Hotline" command? For instance a player types "/Mentor How do I equip my grenades?" And all available SPCMS with the chat filter for it turned on for the command will receive the message and help the player out from there.
  3. Spawns need to be optimised to the location. Remove the ability to choose spawns unless you're using a mobile spawner from your vehicle? At the same time I'm wary of this because usually I'll take advantage of a flank but even with it turned off, I'm fine with taking longer to route my self behind the enemy.
  4. What's your opinions on the speed being increased? Here's the speeds for reference. This is from the ATAC 424. Crouch, walk, run and sprint speed are the same as is if you put the weapon away.
  5. Working around your teammates and not focusing on yourself. Communication, regardless if it seems like your team isn't listening or understand, just because they don't have a mic, doesn't mean they can't communicate. Choosing how you communicate, "Hey get in the car or youre gonna get killed, I need you!" Vs "Hey smart, get in the car, we're gonna lose cause of you!" Look for a clan, hell bounce around some till you find your home , if people harass you for leaving, don't think of it too much, just know there's more people and groups out there that may or may not fit for you and have plenty of time to exolore.
  6. Can we just have the weapon only require 60m before you can 2 shot like a damage ramp up and make the draw time longer?
  7. Considering the current events of ARMAS gifting , I will be taking names of winners down as an "I owe you" and inform the winners that they will get their prizes when gifting is reenabled or LO does something so I can provide a prize related to the game. It's my personal opinion to refuse giving prizes unrelated to the game as I feel it creates a distraction from the game I'm handing out prizes for.

  9. Yeah, I feel it really hurts the game. Puts a bad taste in my mouth when I see a Twitch stream APB with the title "XXX FOLLOWERS FOR 'flavor of the month game'!" And it's coming from a person that consistently plays APB or it's in their main rotation of games. Better yet a community event where they're just handing out cheap steam games on a holiday, I treat that as enabling a distraction from the game you're using to promote yourself instead of the game itself.
  10. I wasn't knocking you for what you said, no need to be rude. I'd love to see they add some system as suggested in my first post.
  11. I'm not sure if there's others who think the same way but if it's for community events, I'd prefer gifting because personally I don't support giving prizes or gifts not related to the game. If I gift them G1C, I know they'll have no choice to use it but if they have any currency that isn't G1C, they more than likely are a higher chance to spend it on something not APB related.
  12. Can we keep gifting a thing but the person gifting has to meet a threshold or have some verification their account is their main one and the person is dedicated to using it and has no intention of using it to scam others/ a burn account.
  13. So how will I give out prizes for events? I just started one in the events section and now I have to cancel my Twitch Follower milestone premium giveaway.
  14. DISREGARD JERICHO IN THE POST TITLE, THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL SERVERS It's Open Season for Cat Girls, and Cat Guys alike, that means it's time to stock up on your favorite types of munitions and get hunting! The goal? Hunt as many as you can, be it them prowling about in the Fight Club or skittering across the streets and alley ways in the Action Districts. What's it worth? The top 3 hunters will be rewarded with up to 1,200 G1C in any ARMAS items of their choosing. The same reward is also granted to the most hunted cat person. How do you prove it? Take pictures of your bounty, kill feed as well as the remains of the hunted. Upload it so somewhere like Imgur so I can verify your scoring. These kills must be unique meaning, once you've killed that one person, they can no longer be counted again, but I can make an exception considering the lack of population, for every kill with a different weapon on the person, I'll count it as extra points. How long do we have? From the 2nd of June to the 29th of June. I'll be presenting the winners with their prizes on the day after the deadline on my stream at As another bonus event, I'm holding a giveaway of 1 month of Premium to 3 players on the 2nd of June. Info to join is in my channel feed.

    Ammo Remanaged

    When you reload, the magazine you're on, the ammo will be thrown away. To this as well, remove the ability to resupply ammo or change weapons from car spawners. Ammo should also be bought like it used to, once your inventory of ammo was depleted, it wouldn't buy you trickles of it when you resupply, players should have to resupply from the Joker Ammo machines as intended. Ammo costs for explosives should be remanaged and cost more than they already so. The pool people have to begin with are too plentiful, but reducing the pool would hinder what most players are already used to. I feel this would make Bandolier and Car Resupply more relevant. I've seen often in streams that players have too much ammo to use and really only use their resupply mod for grenades and not so much their ammo. The resupply mod for the player should only resupply have the ammo and grenades for the current weapon by 50 percent. If the player changes weapons, it should be 25 percent.
  16. "Shots to kill would remain at 6 and the time to kill would be the same as it is for the FBW currently is, 1 second. So pretty much, it's like as if you're firing one pistol with an extended magazine.As suggested by VickyFox and others, the shots to kill could be doubled and the time to kill stay the samr, the weapons would simply fire faster." I'm not sure if you read this piece for balance in my post. The weapon is a trophy item at most. Some people will make it work, some won't. If you didn't know, the FBW TTK is 1 second and is 6 shots to kill, it used to be 5. Back when it was 5, people complained but now the community seems to be okay with it. I said if you remove your primary and only have a secondary equipped, if you have GunSlinger role 6, you will have two pistols held in your primary slot. As for dual wielding the automatic secondaries, that does give me a scare, but I could honestly only see those as a OCA remesh of sorts, or be their own unique SMG.
  17. "if u buy me cat ears, I luv u 4 ever, meow! ;3"
  18. I fixed the OP from what you said and will implement 3 as a choice of idea because in my discussions with others half will go with mine and some others mention something similar to yours.As well as the ammo reserve, the current ammo pool may be fine, it would just tempt someone to use their Field Supplier sooner. As for your last paragraph, I'm not worried if they can do it or not atm, it's about ideas and fleshing then out. I've been away for 2 years and thought I would stop seeing people request features but give the devs no way to implement it form a thought out manner. It's like saying I want a cake but they give me a chocolate one because I didn't specify I wanted vanilla, I proceed to follow through like the community doesn't and throw a fit.
  19. So a big, 2 barreled, I'm aware one is cosmetic, automatic shotgun doesn't scream movie like, to you? There's car surfer, you're literally standing on top of a car with full stability and able to place well aimed shots. You're worried they would add MORE movie shooting things? Hell, even Counter Strike has it and some players find it viable.
  20. I'm not saying there being no headshots is an issue, I'm asking, how is it not applicable, as you say lore friendly. Where's it say in the lore that dual wielding pistols isn't something achievable?
  21. As arcadish? We have sniper rifles that don't do headshots and a green mod that lets you tank a direct osmaw rocket. I say limit it to those or balance sake, you just complained about some guns being annoying in your previous statement. It's not that it's viable, you just unlock it and can use it, it's meant for cqc and right out side of it. The weapon set is there as something atleast to unlock way later on instead of just some Chrome weapon skin. Only thing that should be dual wielded is pistols, making primaries dual weldable is going against what you said earlier about being too arcadish. Who knows, I'm sure they'll look for one when they need it. Otherwise, this is just another suggestion, who cares about priorities till it matters?
  22. The weapon as subject I will be using is the OBEYA FBW. Dual Wielding should present itself as a Primary Weapon that also fills place of the Secondary slot, but as it already acts as a Secondary if drawn from the Secondary slot. Magazine pool would only be extended because you now hold two guns, I.E, the OBEYA FBW holds 15 rounds so as a Dual Wield, it will have 30 rounds, each pistol will hold their own amount, this is given reason later explained on . Ammo held in each pistol can be indicated by small numbers on the aiming reticule and/or as is in the top right of the screen. Shots to kill would remain at 6 and the time to kill would be the same as it is for the FBW currently is, 1 second. So pretty much, it's like as if you're firing one pistol with an extended magazine.As suggested by VickyFox and others, the shots to kill could be doubled and the time to kill stay the samr, the weapons would simply fire faster. When in hipfire, the reticule should only be bigger than the secondary usually is when it is firing from the hip by itself. When in MM, the pistols should be firing with the same accuracy if you were hipfiring with the pistol by itself. When the pistols are drawn from the Primary Slot, you will have both guns out, when you draw from your Secondary Slot, you will have one pistol out. When both pistols are drawn as a Primary, firing from the hip will fire the pistols in an alternating fashion, when fired in MM, the shoulder view you are looking over, you will ONLY fire that pistol from that side. This will follow the rule as discussed earlier, that each pistol will hold their own amount of ammo in the magazine. When switching to your pistol as a secondary, what ever shoulder you were last looking over, is with pistol you use for it's current magazine. As far as I would suggest to limit this to just the FBW and the FROG weapon series. Reaching a certain level with GunSlinger role seems reasonable or even just reaching Level 6(MAX) with it. To equip the pistols as Primarys, you would simply unequip your Primary from the Primary slot. For those asking or saying, "Why would you want this?" "It's dumb, it doesn't fit the game!" I thought this up after seeing people request a feature but not have explanations to how to implement it into the game in a balanced way. I'd see Dual Wielding as a "I wanna look cool" mechanic, even if it isn't the most effective thing to use during certain scenarios but someone's gonna make it work somehow if they try hard enough. Ideally this is a trophy for maxing GunSlinger role besides getting a Chrome skin.
  23. 180528: Holding a Premium Giveaway, details in the channel feed.
  24. In the unofficial APB Discord, I'll have moments of thought or people will discuss ideas and from there I just piece things together. Over time, I'll be adding MUCH more. Please let me know what you think for each bullet, if any of them mean anything to you as most my ideas are fixed or brought out by constant discussion.
