Snubnose

this is nice... sure as hell ain't no engine update but it's a good baseline for future updates. speaking of which, what's the next step? I'm still interested in this game but slightly better FPS ain't cutting it for me personally. I want to come back to APB at some point but only if there's something worthwhile like new content and features.

tbh I was expecting an april fools joke...

and here's the winner of "worst take ever". congratulations :^)

living proof that playtime =/= knowledge I mean there's people with thousands of hours playtime still saying "THEY'RE NOT RESKINS, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT STATS!!!" RP balancing was trash (like, non-existent), and LO ain't perfect, but hell of a lot better than what used to be.

playing games, helping kids.

didn't join yet, what guns we talking about?

add it to the joker store, maybe?

THE DAY HAS COME! but... I still don't think it can compete very well with FBW or .45 AP.... equip time is still higher than FBW (0.5s vs 0.3s), and accuracy is worse. but hey, at least snubnose is now on a 1.0s TTK like FBW. it's not completely useless anymore

I guess that'd be too big and would look goofy, especially for smaller female characters holding them. the mini version is the perfect intermediate. yea, that's why I said sometime in the future... sometime after the engine update is out and LO has done more balance passes and the game being in a better state.

only thing missing is someone commenting this video with some vague characteristics about this weapon while also trying to sound REALLY REALLY COOL (BONUS: mocking video) if I were to make this a suggestion, I'd say: super fast TTK, but extremely limited mag size, ammo pool and accuracy. combined with slower movement speed (like other LMGs) should also have a very short windup timer) I mean... with a new engine, and someone that can animate at LO, this could actually be a thing at some point lol. but I didn't intend to post this as a suggestion really, just wanted to share this fun little tool of destruction that reminded me of APB legendary promo videos. the forum has been kinda boring lately, so y'all can post some funky weapons that would be fun as a legendary in APB

now that the scoped ntec came up I thought about the retail pack version with only extended magazine 3... such a bad mod on a rather bad weapon. with the next balance changes, will there also be some changes to some of the worst modded preset weapons? because some of them badly need it.

ANOTHER ONE! thanks a lot!

I strongly disagree. there are plenty of underpowered weapons that need to be buffed. IMO we're pretty much done with nerfing (for now). time to get these underdogs up there to spice up the gameplay.

they only wanted to nerf JG / snub switching.... no one played with me anyway, so this change didn't really affect anyone I just hope next patch I'll get some love...

I'm so glad we have SPCT sitting down together with the devs to do weapon balancing... some of yalls suggestions are strange AF. don't get me wrong, providing feedback is exactly what LO wants... but I'm just happy that in the end it all has to go through a logical thinking process from people that actually know a bit about balancing in general.

genuine question: is LO about to fully convert into a "warframe like" business model? without an itemshop (so no G1C anymore) and everything available ingame for either some grind, or buyable currency (JT) to skip grinding? because we're already pretty close to that with the recent addition of weapons and now clothes obtainable through the joker store. also with buyable joker tickets for real cash. I'd love for this to be the new standard!

this makes me sad

meaning they're still coming, so keep an eye on the news page

yes, phasing is matchmaking between different districts on the same server. but I'm pretty sure before we get phasing, we get a single world server merge... so there would be matchmaking across the whole world if needed. (obviously the game would put you together with people geographically closer to you)

I wasn't describing phasing, I'm talking about a single world server, so we don't have jericho / citadel anymore - basically no borders. everyone can play their main characters from NA in EU districts and vice versa. phasing is when you get matchmaking between all the districts, and get a short sync load time when getting matched with people from another district. phasing requires the engine update to be implemented first, not sure about merging everything into 1 world server though... shouldn't really require an engine update since it's more database stuff and no client side stuff...

I really wonder what happened to the plans of merging everything into 1 world server... should've happened months ago... dunno about the technical difficulties though, we could really use some news. APB needs this.

"loose punk boots", I'd totally love that!

jesus christ... you put a little too much value into themes. even the best ones don't come close to the quality of real music, just because of how limited everything is. hearing the same instruments for almost 10 years now is kinda annoying, especially because the majority of themes are bad. also, you're aware that people that are fed up with killthemes were already muting them by renaming / removing the instrument folder? using the /ignore function because you dislike JUST the theme of a person is bad, since you don't wanna mute a person completely... I would still want to see what people say in chat, especially when they're trying to trade stuff in social.

because you don't remove content, you fix it.

some might need a little adjustment, but there's still the 'skip' feature...
