@Frosi these look good

Really good suggest

Indeed

simple white face mask as a freebie for covid social distancing, the current face coverings in game are just not the same. hoodie or shirt that is worn around the waist

yeah

BattleEye has now started kicking for this - https://www.kovaak.com/mouse-acceleration/#:~:text=In late 2015%2C Povohat and,OS and in any game. Was working in EAC and in the first week of BE.

The few times I've been on console it's been gangs of players all bantering with each other. When PC voip used to work, micspamming music in social was commonplace way before console versions came out.

I love the idea at 16:40 to put in console and PC crossplay into social (hopefully not PVP obviously). Having the console players have access to the PC player auctions could only be a positive both parties. PC players would be double rewarded with a super lively console voip experience lol

Amazing work!

Misery - Personally think the main issue I have the misery at the moment is the recoil getting bigger and more random with ever shot. Strife - I kind of like the Strife where it is now, I don't see it around often either so I don't think it's really deserving of a nerf just yet, I think the clunkiness of the gun is one of the reasons it's not seen often. It's just one of those guns I feel is really satisfying to use. It's not really competitive either too (mainly due to the refire rate), but thats OK because its fun in a way. Not every gun in the game needs to be meta or compete with meta. Some guns can just be a gimmick and the strife kind of fits that role of being a gimmicky niche gun thats fun but has big shortfalls. Scout - I don't agree with the scout nerf honestly. I am on the opinion that needs to be more mobile than it's counterparts. ACT/RSA - I don't think the ACT-44/RSA need to be fundamentally changed with their recent buffs. Maybe the golden act needs a tone down in some way (change of mod maybe) OCSP - I dont agree that it's one of the worst secondaries. Underused sure, it's very accurate and honestly probably a "model" secondary. If anything the fbw should be less of a primary and more of a secondary like the rest of the secondary guns in the game. It is a secondary afterall, a backup weapon. Everything else in there I either agree or sort of agree and I understand the reasoning behind the suggestions. A couple I don't have a real opinion on.

It's good to see the document. I find myself agreeing with with a lot of the suggestions there. Some I don't agree but it's whatever. The document is useful for the devs for sure with regards to the bigger picture as the main problem is the forums are quite incoherant a lot of the time with unconstructive feedback.

450 sounds like a decent test but would you say that it might hurt the range on the OBIR more as a unintended side affect? This switch nerf attempts to make it less effective at cqc whilst not really hurting the range. The 450 burst will hurt both, maybe morso on the range maybe, especially if you miss a bullet or two on a long range burst. Not against the suggestion though btw, just a thought. Still, I think the sprint delay needs to either be almost non existent or at least less than the bolt timer so OBIR users can basically sprint as soon as they stop shooting (which is what the current switch to secondary was useful for). Not sure why its so high on the OBIR.

yikes on those RFP changes haha why are 3 secondaries in this game as good or more less better than primaries, unique balancing philosophy. and why are there realistically only 3 secondaries worth using (though aren't they just second primaries at this point lol) so after this rfp change what is going to happen to the ACT 44 and RSA now lol? Did you forget about those guns, they're going to be relegated to nothingness, they're so unreliable (as they should be though since they're secondaries). What happened to having secondaries that we're ok'ish, fall back weapons which the RSA and ACT 44 currently fall into.

The font's are in a phase between console and PC font. The PC font is being put back into the UI so you're going to see an odd mix at the moment.

Yoshi's

robots, aliens or whatever no doubt they fucking stankin' after that apb sesh

I asked melocide, his game crashed after he alt tabbed. his teammate was thankful though as he wanted to quit. 100 games in one session is one way to get swampass

@Yood

Do take note that a handful of players from an unofficial discord with a fraction of the active player base doesn't mean that it wasn't well received. That and I didn't really advertise it anywhere. It was spread by subscription feed and word of mouth in the community before it hid trending. And before it hit trending it had almost no dislikes so whatever i guess. I just don't want you to get the wrong idea that what ghost is saying is true, he just has a bone to pick with me for some reason.

No it's just you really, just your mannerisms with not only me. And the typical 'u salty' sadly just looks that way. Of course I can take criticism, if I couldn't I wouldn't have gone at this for so long

It was well received in my subscriber base and well received to the viewers it was recommended to, which was to all the people outside of apb who watch those types of videos. It may have not been well received in the APB community, tbh I didn't hear much about it... just means that the negative reception is irrelevant really. And honestly the byproduct of this, the advertising shouldn't even be aimed at the current APB community at all lol. The reason I call out 'people' (you) is because you keep going on about it lol. Everywhere I lurk I just see you commenting on it lol, so odd. I do these videos for fun really, for my subs, not for you. I didn't expect them to blow up but you just seem so damn salty that they did and you try to downplay the reach they had so much. A lot of new accounts were created but of course the didn't stick around. If the engine update does come along I'll try to do another out of what free time I have. Not sure if it will hit trending again but who knows. By all means though I think people should make these videos when it comes out, the youtube stuff really does help the game and LO with free advertising.

going by the like to dislike ratio on both those videos and with the amount of nice comments I got I'm glad that you're objectively wrong and in the minority thankfully After the second video I was told by staff that they noticed a lot of new players in early Jan when it hit trending. I do want to do another but not in its current state obviously.

While I didn't participate in the 4x4 events I know people that did and it was fun for a decent sized amount of the community. Those community events never did happen in a normal district, always the unpopulated gold districts at a set date and time of the week. Realistically, the OOB change killed the fun for that community and subsequently may have removed a reason for some people to log on and hang out in a non PVP way outside of just chatting in social. Also the OOB change brought about a lot of bugs at the time and it really just looked like G1 liked making pointless work for themselves and at the same time killing a fringe community for the sake of it. Another example of no fun allowed G1 I've seen was with the old totem pole glitch that dopefish made a video about. I think he stacked up 50 or more guys. It wasn't gamebreaking for mission balance at all just silly fun. But as soon as G1 saw that, they went nope, patched the silly glitch that no one asked for, introduced goomba stomping that no one asked for and brough all the bugs along with it that still happen to this day, like when you get out of a car that has flipped and you all kill yourselves. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/49045311?filter=highlights&sort=time Rambling but yeah, OOB was a mistake honestly. So heavy handed.

I remember the topic too. The old community manager asked the community what were the most cancer spots at the time and the reloaded team would do their best to improve the area while using their own input along with the community suggestions. It is long overdue for another round of that, post engine update.
