New JMB legendary drop rate and disclosure
Hexerin replied to MattScott's topic in General Discussion Archive
They are, in some places. In others (especially the US, where anyone of relevance to the lawmaking can easily just be bribed), it's been a failing prospect. -
What is the purpose of the Scoped NTEC's existence?
Hexerin replied to Hexerin's topic in General Discussion Archive
It had a different model? I only remember it being the NTEC Stock with a scope on it. Main reason I've never bought the gun, the only option is the Scepter and I really just don't like the VAS model. The horrendous bulky-ness of the forward grip, plus they all can't use skins for shit. The magazine isn't even a separate skinning channel ffs. Interesting to know. Normally I'd just drag my friend on and shoot him a bit to figure out the approximate ranges, but he refuses to reinstall the game (and I don't really blame him). I've been hoping that Little Orbit might just remove the Curves system entirely... but @MattScott hasn't said a word about the system at all, to my knowledge. -

It never has. However, the Ursus, which is pretty much the exact same weapon, does. -

Does it actually have more range? APB:Db still hasn't been updated with range info for Curves weapons... -
Last I checked, Sluttles is an NA native (originally from Joker, if memory serves) and that Tagger was given to them as an event reward on NA.

Just a dig at nitro use being so universal in gaming. True muscle doesn't need that to get that speed. Pure, unadulterated power is what muscle's all about.

I feel like the old sound is too high pitched. Maybe in addition to speeding it back up, also shifting it down so that we maintain the deep rumble it currently enjoys... and deserves, being a purebred muscle car without any of that compensatory nitro crutching.

A new Threat needs to be added to solve dethreating.
Hexerin replied to blockblack's topic in General Discussion Archive
You really don't have a clue if you actually believe that. On top of being the origin point of the dethreating epidemic (fun fact, it was basically a non-existent thing prior), threat locked districts is what killed this game in the first place. Half the playerbase left over those months, and half of what remained bled out beyond that because of it. Granted, under Gamersfirst/Reloaded the game would've failed regardless. However, it would've taken much, much longer for the failure to arrive if not for that terminal mistake. I guarantee you that the majority of current dethreaters would just dethreat harder to get access to bronze. That initial dethreat would involve a decent bit of time and effort, but once they've gone through that the maintenance after would be much easier (and only get easier the longer they stay down there). -

Honestly, I'd be ecstatic if I could somehow get my current account merged into my original account. Hell, I think I'd actually just be ecstatic to regain access to my original account regardless... -

Not sure why you need "new systems" that make it a "tricky thing" to remove, but I'll reserve full judgment until after seeing it. Hopefully it isn't something that will take years like the engine upgrade. -

Adding a new threat will change nothing. -

One would assume that means it's currently in effect since the work day is well over. -
You have my support.

Why not just remove JMBs and put the guns in ARMAS as direct purchases? You say you care about abusive practices, well loot boxes are abusive no matter if you disclose the odds or not.- 75 replies

It's actually not even currency devaluation that would be the reason they don't do this. Honestly, I don't think it would really affect the market to any significant degree anyways since it isn't introducing new currency to the game (and the increase to JT growth doesn't matter since JT stuff isn't tradeable). The more likely reason is simply that it would require a ton of dev time for only minor quality of life gains.

Magazine Pull's reduced ammo in clip really hurts the gun's anti-vehicle ability. At that point you might as well just pull out a DMR-SD.

Would add Tagger as its third mod. Retains the Hunting Sight 3 and Cooling Jacket 3 of its PR1 and PR2 variants.

I'm still hoping for this to be done. I currently have purchased the character-bound copy from Joker Store, but would like to invest in an account-bound one from ARMAS to have on both my characters.

What do you miss the most about earlier times within APB?
Hexerin replied to Khakis's topic in General Discussion Archive
Oh, so you're talking about a bug introduced by Gamersfirst/Reloaded. Then it doesn't surprise me really, I've been on several haituses over the years. -

I mean, I've been here since the second week of CBT, and that was never a thing. So maybe it was a thing during that first week, but at that point my statement still basically stands. -

All of my What To Do When... Questions
Hexerin replied to blockblack's topic in General Discussion Archive
1) Ask yourself why you're running out in the open like an idiot. 2) Dive into the nearest cover. Alternatively, accept your fate and move on. 3) Ask yourself why you're playing in a dead district, when even Jericho keeps an active one at all hours. 4) If indoors/enclosed; OPGL, EOL, and nades. If rooftops or similar open area; airbursting Volcano, Kickback, and nades. 5) Ask yourself why you're playing like an idiot and not using any of the hundreds of restocking stations available all over. 6) Learn to drive, as catching runners is incredibly easy and basically means they're handing you the win. -

God what I wouldn't give for this feature. Give me a quick summary of the mission's current state so I can enter it with some measure of understanding... Creme de la Crime - 5/10 with 1:30 remaining Teammate 1, Teammate 2, Teammate 3 Opponent 1, Opponent 2, Opponent 3, Opponent 4 Very simple UI box that could pop up when the queue pops, with a simple yes/no acceptance like group and friend invites have. If you turn it down, you're simply dropped back to the end of the matchmaking queue to wait for the next mission pop. Easily avoid bad backup calls, bad teammates/opponents, etc.
