yea your hitbox is not getting shifted into the ground, it really changes shape. but the thing with getting damaged through the ground is because of "1 pixel wide textures" that don't have a "second wall" beneath... you can always shoot peoples feet when they walk on a "single texture" (like the unbreakable glass at hopemall (financial) that leads to the graffiti spot on the WP towers - facing the party island). knowing this allowed me to easily pick targets off that cheesy spot LUL

pretty sure it makes the hitbox a little bit shorter from the top, but wider to the sides. something like this:

can we please have Paladon pop up on the admin tracker? (I've added him? / her? to my own tracker list but I think as a producer it should be by default) oh yea btw, great update! game really needed that.

proper link to the news.

pls no.... I cried when I heard there'll be "seasons" for RIOT with some sort of season pass...

god damn, that's what I needed to hear! thx matt.

well I don't think it's that much of an echo chamber... but I would like to see them post an official poll all over their social media accounts and get more accurate numbers, but I don't think it'll sway far away from what forum polls already showed.. I actually think that it'll be even more negative looking at how much hate there is in the facebook comment section towards APB and LO...

well, most of its traction is because it's the only piece of content the game got for like 5 years, so people play it because atleast it's something new... but as multiple polls on this forum already showed, more than 50% of the community dislikes RIOT. (even people who dislike it play it. I played it for 3-4 days too when it came out - and even had fun doing it. but I still think RIOT was / is kind of a waste of ressources - except for the "learning" part that helped the team). if I'd have any say in this, I'd discontinue RIOT but let it stay in the game untill you come up with a proper / big update for the main game... (or reworked RIOT into a planetside 2 like turfwar LUL)

I don't know what's more saddening... the state of the game or the state of the person still DDOS'ing the game... anyway, good to hear you guys took care of that... let's hope it'll work properly.

oh btw, what happened to dynamic lights for vehicles? G1 told us they're gonna make it happen, but it seems like it was never a thing... are there plans to bring us dynamic vehicle lights? (so head- and taillights cast light... also, sirens casting light would be awesome!)

I like the visuals of the engine update better than the live version, but I'd rather have a gritty APB... with a "used" look... dirtier - busted up. (APB textures are too plain) looking at crimecraft gangwars I get kinda jealous... also, can we finally get RAIN in APB?

well it's both. old players and new. I know quite a lot of people that have played apb and are still actively gaming a lot (pretty much half my steam friendslist)... and even if someone gets married, why would it mean they stopped gaming completely? they still have their own free time. and yea, new people come into APB that's outdated in every corner (UI, tutorial, visuals) and won't be impressed very much... no matter how much customization they get. therefore: APB 2 :^)

it's so much easier having feedback in a poll than reading through hundreds of posts and trying to summarize it... (especially for the community). if they feel like deleting this poll, they can - I would understand.

well, kinda true regarding the scrapping of RIOT, but how much work did LO actually put into RIOT? RP started forging this mode ages ago... they (LO) said that RIOT is not taking away ressources from the engine update, so considering the information we have and the final product we got it can't be too much effort they've spend finishing RIOT... (although I could be completely wrong and RP never came across having anything playable) how do you "slowly change" RIOT into another gamemode?... you wanna have a hybrid gamemode before having something solid? that's not really possible... well, re-write of the code - OK. but what about the maps and all the assets? car models? texture resolutions and polygon count is just outdated in APB... they would have to completely remake APB assets to actually come close to "APB 2". also, APB 2 would need a whole lot more to do in the open world... more stuff to do out of mission. checkpoint racing (or PVP racing), tagging graffiti across town in a certain time frame or whatever the hell kind of open world "mini missions" you could think of would really help make APB great. I mean look at these concepts of RTW times... ramraiding should be reworked to be more immersive (actually breaking into a garage, going inside and grabbing struff instead of random items spawning infront on the street). robbing small stores while actually going inside... or simply HEISTS. this games potential is through the roof... it could be what GTA online failed to be - a criminals wet dream. (fuck flying cars and all the military bullshoot - GTA online is trash.) but I doubt LO has the vision for this... let alone the ressources to do something this big... they're trying their best, but they're focusing on "mainstream entertainment" (i.e. BR, competetive e sports). APB should be more like WoW instead of CSGO, but whatever. (I don't like MMORPGs because of the gameplay, but having third person shooter gameplay combined with a vast world to do different things in like in MMORPGs would be my wet dream)

well, APB is doomed. no engine update will save it. no updates after that... it's too old, and left a bad taste in everyones mouth, so people won't really return. I'm not even joking when I'm talking about APB 2 even though it seems like it... this game needs to be built from the ground up again to modernize it... you can't just slap engine update after engine update onto it and call it a day. (the fact that they're having a separate team working on a UE4 update is beyond me..) it may bring APB to a slightly higher standard regarding modernization and visual upgrades (it may seem 2 years younger), but overall the game's still the same. I made this poll because I personally wanted to know what the community thinks, and who knows, maybe it'll have an impact on future decisions by LO, but that won't matter too much because of the things mentioned above.

multiple choice - you can agree with more than just one of these outcomes.

yea... I'll say it again... rework RIOT into a turfwar gamemode... they already have the block layout on the map...

you mean the IR3 version, right?... because you can get the regular RFP ingame...

dear @MattScott, this is your chance to change RIOT into a turfwar gamemode! (which was planned / talked about for APB when RTW released it back in 2010) the APB community never wanted to hop onto the BR train. rewrite the lore you wrote for riot to make it suitable for a turf war mode. you already have the "block" system in place, perfect for turf war! I'd recommend looking at planetside 2 for some ideas about turf war / domination.

dude you gotta upload your pics to another website... your links don't work. try imgur.com

my guess is probably when they launch season 1 of RIOT. (or with the engine update, which could both happen at the same time but dunno...) would be weird if it's even later, because RP teased that years ago (even before the growl was released) and they must've gotten atleast some work done...

1. as @AlishaAzure said, you can get up there, but it's a little weird... they should add some boxes or whatever. 2. I can confirm what @Glaciers said - you can get up there... it's just not easy to do. they should add some planks. 3. can't judge here. don't own it and only seen a little bit of gameplay...

not a bug. it's just unused in the game... I mean we can't hit people inside cars, and having a cabrio would make things weird...

well, I can say 2 of my suggestions were made real half way... so it counts as 1? weapon tweaking: it's never really finished as new guns will keep being implemented, but there's still some of the more obvious stuff to finish tweaking, mainly buffing of underwhelming guns (*cough* me *cough*) and remodding some preset guns ('Surefire' LUL) add more bodykits / wheels to joker store: well, we got some more content for the joker store, and there's more to come... also, I suggested a turf war gamemode... with the new "block" system of riot in place, they could actually make that happen now... I wish they'd rework riot to be a turf war mode instead of a BR...

I think it would be better for future updates to document every change, so the community doesn't confuse bugs with features or viceversa... also, you've added helpful text to objective markers and implemented the premium mod cooldown changes you've talked about a few weeks ago - these are awesome changes that you can proudly mention in the patchnotes. why didn't you? simply slipped through? I mean it's somewhat of nice advertisement mentioning such positive changes (even if they're little, QoL is important!)
