    First and foremost, the main problem with the heavy HVR wasn't even quickswitching. It was annoying but it's only a part of the bigger problem with it. The biggest issue is the damage output you can do at up to 100m range with it while using distance as a powerful cover from enemy fire with MOST weapons (not all). I personally think it breaks missions completely when you have an HVR sitting 80m out behind cover while tagging everyone for a bigger portion of their total health. I believe that the Scout is a more balanced choice, could give it slightly more damage/range or something else. If you want a more flexible long range weapon you can pick up an OBIR or an Obeya rifle, but the heavy HVR is just game breaking as it gives way too much of an advantage to the team that utilizes one.

     

    Regarding the changes, I personally dislike random weapon mechanics that make no sense or are OVERLY unrealistic (not saying that APB is supposed to be realistic, don't get me wrong). Sadly, APB has had some of those for years. In terms of the HVR's case, while I can say that it was pretty fun jumpshooting in CQC with it, from a competitive standpoint, the HVR is a no-go even in it's current state (which is why it's forbidden in arranged match rulesets) due to how annoyingly overpowered it can be at range. However, removing weapons from the game completely is not likely to ever happen for a few reasons that should be obvious. So maybe further tweaking will be required.

    You really need to understand that the game offers a lot of variety... some missions offer you open areas, other close, others a few of both. When a mission offers you an open area thats when you pull out long distance weapons and there is nothing wrong with it.

    So if you are maining a shotgun and an nfa (full close range), or you need to switch to a more suitable weapon to counter or protect yourself from those range weapons (specially nhvr or even dmr), or look for the way to get close to them as quick and safest possible, or ask a team to cover you. You know a sniper (pre nhvr nerf) can't do much against a rushing shotgun (or pointman).

    When i had the luck  to play in groups with friends, we had a really experienced sniper that would cover us efficiently enough for us to reach the enemy or the objective.

     

    Something alike would happen when you have to fight in really closed areas where you need to switch to pointman because you need a more efficient weapon for those kind of zones, and then a only sniper user comes to cry that pointman guns are way too op for him to handle in those areas or that his secondary is not strong enough to face pointman guns (?).

     

    Is that why in a team vs team scenario the one with mixed weapons would work better than full of nhvrs. Is the job for the closest range to take down targets quickly while the longest range cover him.

    Add bricks, shields, granades, ephinephrine (or whatever is called) and etc etc. that helps you to get closer to your enemy... nowdays is barely a problem honestly.

    I'm on my way to work on the bus and I got to get this off my chest, I lend my ear to many people out out of fairness including those who probably shouldn't be listened to.

     

    after seeing where APB has come from and more importantly where it has been, I am thankful APB is still online at all.

     

    I personally advocated for APB:Reloaded to be shut down as to let the game die in a dignified manner, opposed to servers being forced to shut off as staff lose jobs and doors close.

     

    For the past 3 years GamersFirst had given up, were scared of the player base and didn't care for a long time an even longer time.

     

    No content, some holiday events cancelled, no interaction or communication from staff AT ALL.

    APB should of died!

     

    This past week all I have heard on the forum other than Autumn Assilt's f-ck up, is Wah was waah cheaters...

    ...Wah Wah waaah trigger bots.

     

    Be great full APB exists at all because it comes across so spoilt when little Orbit did more in a 3 months and GamersFirst did in 3 years!

     

    I agree as much as the next person that cheaters, trigger bot, hackers, scammers and all rule breakers need to be addressed.

     

    But there is a time and place for everything but expectations are too high right now.

    Wow, how is our psychologist with toxicology degree being so disliked?

    It must be TOXICITY!!!

    At the moment, the game is destroyed by triggerbots, and LO strongly ignores this question.
    You spend a lot of time on events, but not on cheaters. Perhaps you are developing a super-system to combat cheaters, but what should we do at this moment? 
    The cheaters were, are and always will be, I understand that. I do not understand how ONE SAME nicknames can play from day to day for several months. 
    You do nothing to fight cheaters, and so every player thinks so. See how disgusting you look for players. 
    Silence and do nothing - tactics G1. You are very much like them. 

    One thing - if the cheaters were "no name". Another is when these players know everything, and they destroy us for several months.

    I do not get tired of repeating it. I will never understand how you can tolerate this.

    I invite everyone to take the test for the community - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdooV8aBrEDd-Ed2fq6a2zi8V9TFAcoDIdJaQqTKlhel825ZA/viewform

    You can see them complaining about hit reg often.

    A normal player would think that he was missing, but they never miss and so they complain about hit reg. Thats fairly funny.

     

    I even alerted some mod about certain videos, no response.

    It seems that they care only when you insult them.

    First, I never claimed to be "inteligant."

    But you are mocking people for being less intelligent, what damage.

    Second, it was a joke. I already stated that there were a lot of things wrong with this game that caused people to leave, but you prove your lack of intelligence for the 37th time today by completely misunderstanding everything that has ever been said on these forums since its creation.

    ...

    "You dont read minds, you lack of inteligence".

    The most popular method for countering the HVR that I've heard about was the one where you uninstall the game.

    Wow, is that how you use your so blessed "inteligence"...

     

    See? These kind of guys are the ones that cry for nerf, and you cater to them.

    Yeah of course you can counter the HVR. You get in your 4x4 Vegas, drive right up to them, perc the ground and shoot them with your HVR.

    Is that the only way? Really? Please you pro balance player, keep naming all of the ways you can counter a nhvr (a pre nerf nhvr).

    Lets teach the nerfing crowd to counter weapons.

    I just recently been introduced to ATAC, because i was looking for something different to buy(i'm used to SMG's/Volcano/EXshotguns.), so don't assume things that you can't possibly know.

    I tend to test things for days before i buy them, and if testing isn't available... i never buy, no matter what or where, unless a pack with a very good deal!

    But is really diferent that an experienced player use a weapon to test it, and you.

    Atac is better than ntec in all possible ways. I even sniped with it, but no one says NOTHING against atac, im asking myself why? Because you dont see it often.

    If I'm being honest, the HVR is still powerful enough to warrant another nerf. Just because you have the intelligence of a bag of hot doorknobs doesn't mean the game should change to cater to you. There's a lot of things wrong with this game that have caused people to leave. Nerfs to weapons that needed them is not one of those things.

    And was not nhvr.

    You are the one with lack of inteligence if you dont know how to properly counter a nhvr, which i never had major problems against it.

     

    They added plenty of tools to counter it, use them. That you are bad countering weapons is not the game fault, but yours.

    Seeing as you somehow missed the point and survived a forum ban :

    Well, 4x4 was exclusive 2 full months. It would take you more if you couldn't or missed a week in fc, and mission to get jt didn't exist at that moment. So imagine, me farming it for full 2 months, waiting a week for fc and jt and repeat... but then? Jt were easier to get and they released 4x4 for real money.

    What cry could i do to revert such damage? Everyone has a 4x4 like if its a fucking calabria and is not special anymore. Losers everywhere enjoying with a purchase or less than a month their 4x4 that took me long to farm. No one fucking cared and everyone enjoyed their cheap win.

     

    What is a shitty skin compared to that?

    Backstab after backstab after backstab (and lies ofc), and they still thinking what goes so wrong with this game.

     

    OH but wait right there, if you dare to say anything or acumulate all that fucking shit to yourself, you are TOXIC!!!!

    "We understand your frustration" no fucking shit you do.

    Oh so THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE felt nhvr nerf. You are just bad with it, practise more.

    Personally I use it as I was using it before, still op as fck.

    Ironic, because from my years of playing apb since i was a filthy bronze to now, i never felt nhvr being op in any way and never, ever complained about it. But you decided to crap it, crying that is op and if it was paid, p2w for sure.

     

    There is the good people with it that probably will make you suffer, and there is the bad that will suck so bad with it that they are a walking nhvr frag. But from all these players, you have plenty of tools to take them down easily. I don't see them nerfed...

     

    You honestly are the ones that need to fucking learn to play and stop changing the game to be boring and crap, making people leave because apb is becoming a nerf trash pit.

    I used it today and I still think that the nerf was completly awful. Ive been playing with nhvr today after so long, and as allways trying to land a bullet at cqc is fairly hard, but getting 28 assist is completly ridiculous.

    Plus I heard that after the clown nerf it got another nerfs... i dont even want to check it.

     

    You reverted most changes for being absolute trash and making quit a huge amount of players... is there any plan to revert nhvr to its glory?

    If not, can i get snipers from my characters changed to other weapon if i send a support ticket and i wait half year?

    I am sorry to burst your bubble OP but even with LO's best efforts this game is currently damn near unplayable. It's an unstable, buggy, imbalanced piece of bullsh*t that misses ton of features, has tons of features implemented although they weren't even ready and is in general just not very pleasant to play.

    Just because it has good potential doesn't make it a good game, because, and I have to come out and say this:

    APB IS NOT A GOOD GAME.

     

    It has the potential to be one in a few years if LO first and foremost manages to fix some big things like balancing and overall play-ability. Then and only then will we have some actual players and then the game can work again. Not to mention APB has an extremely high skill ceiling and most people don't even know what the f*ck they are doing in the first 20 hours of the game. So yeah.

    Apb is a good game, it just needs someone who can make it fun, rewarding and clean the cheaters out.

    Personally I rage most when it's my fault.  Like if I run out of mouse mat ooh that annoys me lol.

     

    If I'm up against an obvious hacker I don't really mind I kinda like to get an up close view of what they're doing. If I was up against hackers constantly I'm sure I'd get annoyed but to my knowledge I never have.

    But when you lose against a person that you know is not legit and you know you will spend the next 20' facing him how would you feel?

    Probably the rest of the day, weeks or months. And years, in some cases, but then unbanned.

    'Guns don't kill people, rappers do'

     

    Cheaters don't cause toxicity. Or at least not the sole cause.

     

    Losing causes toxicity. And when people lose they either deal with it or decide to blame something. A mouse, optimisation, cheaters.

     

    People just need to remember we're playing a game and LO are trying damn hard to make it a good one.

    Losing to cheaters even more.

    Maybe if you control better that gun you will land bullets... firing like an ape wont help is not hit reg fault. See how that carbine crosshair is huge but you keep firing at the same speed.

    In the second vid you graphics are broken, maybe you are hitting something in the way.

    Really careful with these guys...
