Though, it's still the best we've ever got on this game, it keeps most cheaters away but it doesn't seem to work that good on private cheats specially triggerbots and macros... -

Thank you for caring and understanding the situation. When I wrote that post I was almost confident it'd go unnoticed but fortunately, I was wrong. Thank you Little Orbit for sorting this out and my apologies if my approach was inappropriate or unprofessional. You proved to me that you guys really care about this game unlike the old administration.

Atleast untill they implement the confirmed trade system.
And nowadays the game is pretty unplayable due to the shotguns and other issues, so I only login to either trade or spend time chatting in Social. So "Just don't trade" might not be a very good idea for someone like me. -

Oh and by the way, you can get on citadel and check the scammer for yourself, maybe get scammed so u get to try the ultimate APB experience...

I am the OP of the removed post. I have been contacted by a Mod telling me to contact Lixil about it with proof. I see it unnecessary to remove my complete thread for a reply to someone stating a name. You could have just removed the reply and leave the thread. As I said before I did the /savechatlog command and still can not find the chat log in anywhere. Would not be surprised if that got broken since last update too. Now for the funny part, the GM her/himself told me to "take it to the forums or support" if I still have an issue with that punishment. Now who am I supposed to listen to now? If I do what a GM suggested me to do and then get my thread removed by another mod? How poorly revised does your rules have to be to be so damn contradictory?! Everything I've seen until now is just rules interferring with eachother. I'm not even gonna bother mention the scam ticket support abandonment before even pushing a trading system live. Please LO,THINK before taking actions. This is boring. I am not going to spend my time or money on a very poorly managed game that is definitely from ,what I see, is going in a very dark direction.

2 hours ago, Ebola-Chan said:playing for 8 years and saying that nhvr shouldnt get nerfed
yeah.. okay.
because getting zoned out for 10 seconds (at best) from 1 shot is okay and balanced
just for the record yesterday i played on otw amd got hit from my own FIRE WORK and then i just got 1 shot from an nhvr
so yeah the nhvr still does 85 you just have to to be zoomed in -
I'm starting to feel that Little Orbit is not really listening to us on many if not all of these changes. Nobody asked for Modifications changes.

45 minutes ago, AgentWatson said:They weren't okay. The issues with servers and network lag made it so that you could get inconsistent results with the shotgun, the new model makes it so there is a fairer player ground between people who're equally as skilled and no nonsense going on in-between. Because I live in Australia, this issue was compounded by my latency, I'd sometimes have to shoot people upwards of 4-5 times <10m
I'm not saying the new model is perfect by any stretch personally I'd of lowered CSG range to 11m or 12m overall I think the changes here are really positive. -
4 minutes ago, Percocet said:30 minutes ago, Tech-San said:B-Snipers
The NHVR nerf is the most ridiculous change I've seen so far. A shot is a shot. Whether you take it from 100m or 5m, realistically, it should do more damage in the close range. Now the main thing about sniping in APB is that It's not a one-shot kill game. You tag someone and then you must end them up, there's some skill to it. Having a 1 shot sniper is not how this game was designed or desired to be by anybody that played APB for long enough. Killing someone in close range with NHVR is not easy. You must train a lot and have some courage to do it in the middle of the battle as it's a matter of luck. The thing that nobody gets is that APB is not about having balanced guns. For example, you have True Ogre which is good in close range if you manage to shoot before the enemy takes you down because of the timer on it, but when it comes to long - medium or basically anything longer than 15-20m it's useless. So, if your opp has a very good gun in close-range then your tactic should be to use a long - medium range weapon which will render his gun useless on you! Most of the people complaining about NHVR are either newcomers or people that just can’t acquire the skill to use the sniper.
Changing NHVR is changing a very important aspect of APB Reloaded.

Just now, Nite said:That's been the popular thought for some time now, but honestly there's no way to prove it without some level of first hand information. No real point stressing about it at this stage.
Besides, its not like u can't still kill people with the Yukon, you just can't cheat people out of CQC kills by hiding behind a corner and bullet-blitzing your pursuer when they get close enough. -
3 minutes ago, Psygo said:Funny part is the Yukon isn't getting nerfed to death like everyone assumes, it'll be a regular mountie with a burst fire mode, which is exactly what it's intended to be
1 minute ago, Nite said:8 minutes ago, Tech-San said:It does need luck and some skill to be able to do that in close range. Anyway, the way they went around it is not the best way. If you get shot from 5m it should do the same as if you got shot from 50m matter of fact it should even do more dmg. no -

Hello everybody, APB has been my main game for almost 8 years or so now so I'd say I know a lot about this game and how it is intended to be.
Now please bear with me as English is not my native language. Also, this is going to be a long thread where I just suggest my personally thought about the ongoing changes and updates, so feel free to disagree with me.
1- Battleye
Battleye currently is useful against the majority of the cheaters that use either paid or public third-party tools, but when it comes to private hacks or some macros like the ones you can make with gaming mouses it just doesn't work.
2- Unbans
The massive unbans helped aiding some issues like false bans and so on, but I personally see that stripping accounts money and JT is not even considered a punishment.
People that are known to be cheating that has been caught and admitted doing so should not have been unbanned. I have seen proofs of old GMs admitting that they know that some people cheat and admit that they just ''don't ban some people''. These guys are well known, and they should not have been unbanned. If people can closet their way to max ranks and then get their accounts back that easily then where is fairness in this game? Can I just cheat my way to max without anybody acting against me?
3- Weapons
This is the thing that bugs me the most as an RTW player. I do agree that some guns should be buffed, and some should be nerfed, BUT to balance a gun you need to take a lot of stuff into consideration. The most important aspect would be the skill to use the gun which is from what I've seen is left out of consideration.
A-Shotguns
The shotguns buff, I have personally not seen anybody complain about them. They are okay if you took the time to learn how to master them in their intended range, close range. I think they should be left untouched with some minor buffs to certain shotguns only and not tinkering with every gun in the game! You're going to end up changing the whole game and telling everyone that spent the time and dedication to develop their skills a big F you.
B-Snipers
The NHVR nerf is the most ridiculous change I've seen so far. A shot is a shot. Whether you take it from 100m or 5m, realistically, it should do more damage in the close range. Now the main thing about sniping in APB is that It's not a one-shot kill game. You tag someone and then you must end them up, there's some skill to it.

Most of the people complaining about NHVR are either newcomers or people that just can’t acquire the skill to use the sniper.
Changing NHVR is changing a very important aspect of APB Reloaded.
C-Rifles
Instead of nerfing the okay guns I think Little Orbit should first ask the community about which guns should be nerfed with the in-game time on each one voting into consideration. New players come to the game with little to no background on how APB works or how was it designed for.
Ntec is very op and should be nerfed in close range as well as having some horizontal recoil to it.
ATAC should have much more recoil and lower TTK as well as a range nerf. A blind man can use ATAC.
Ursus is fine it just needs a slight range nerf. You can learn from Ursus how NTEC should behave in close range. Because NTEC is literally good for everything now. I’m talking about stock guns here with no mods.
D- Pistols
RFP is op.
Yukon nerf was too hard lower fire rate a bit 0.045 to 0.078 is trolling.
UL3s are absolute trash except bloody mary.
E- Explosives
Add cooldown timer or something to OPGL it's not fun
F-Legendaries
I understand that G1 and Little Orbit are different companies with different goals, but the new company has to work around what the old one did without compromising the customer's rights. Nerfing legendaries is not fine. If a legendary has no potential advantage then it shouldn't be called that in the first place. I have seen a GM around that said that Legendaries are supposed to be ''Special'' and not powerful. This is not how APB works. This is not Team Fortress 2. This is APB. If you're going to spend either $100 on JMB or grind 3.5mill for a gun that sucks and just looks cool while a 3k gun from a contact can easily get you owned then this is what I consider breaking the game. I'm not talking about OPing legendaries here. I'm talking about tinkering with decent guns that are hard to get for a reason. You pay more for a Bugatti than a Toyota Corolla for a reason. In short, leave the Ogre alone. Yukon nerf is too much, yes it was a bug, but that's not our fault. I bought a faulty gun that has not been fixed for 2 years and then I get my gun to become worthless. Now it can be beaten by probably any other secondary which really misses out on the ''Legendary'' part. Even the marksman mode mod is not as good as a real RFP.
4- Engine
Yes, that's the thing we've been looking for the whole time. Not major weapon changes. Don't get me wrong I love how Little Orbit is excited at changing a lot of stuff to the ''better'' but please, some stuff are just not meant to be changed. I appreciate your hardworking but I'd politely suggest Little Orbit to focus on the more important changes.
Final Points:
1-APB is skill based.
2-You're going to fast without having the time to think twice about what you're doing.
3-Too many changes and the game will lose its integrity and identity which is exactly what happened with G1 when they took over APB.
4-Nerf obviously OP guns such as stock NTEC-ATAC-RFP-PMG...etc
5-Please don't tinker with the modifications.
6-Please don't tinker with the skill-based weapons and range specific guns like Ogre.
My message to Little Orbit:
I appreciate your work and I value it, the game is getting the attention it has always needed. Thank you Little Orbit and thank you, everyone, that has contributed in making this game up and still going to this day. However, I personally think these changes are going too fast and some of them will damage the game instead of fixing a broken feature. I strongly hope you reconsider these changes and fine-tune them to meet the requirements of how APB really is and how it has always been and how balanced content should be. Afterall, APB is not about balance, It's about teamwork and tactics.
I will probably edit this thread as I spend more time with the new changes, I hope I can play APB how I used to do every day in the past 8 years because this game means a lot to me. I understand many things have to change, actually, that's what I've been asking for the whole time, but I noticed that these changing are going in the opposite direction of what APB has always been going to. It hurts to see a game I have loved for what it is being changed according to what players that have not spent as much time on the game and not really know much about it.
Thank you for your time and I hope you have a nice day everybody.Btw pls add better mailing system and increase the attachment capacity I send my other characters over 40 msgs to transfer my mods and stuff.
yes this account was made in 2014, i have many accounts.

A district which you have no missions and no instant respawns when you get on top of a building which you are not supposed to be.
These types of the district would be a very cool thing to have as many people, like me, loved the glitches and bugs of APB where you can get out of the map and explore or get somewhere new. The issue was that some people abused it in missions, so I guess it'd be a nice touch to have a district that allows us to have that extra fun exploring around without the warning or respawns...etc. It'd also be fun to have useable 4x4 vegases with nos fitted in that are useable in the district only ( or maybe be district specific cars) that we can just hop in and use. I think that would not need much work to be done and it'll draw some attention. Maybe some tips and tricks for various bugs and glitches that the players gets to contribute to write to help new players have fun too. I think that'd be a very good thing to have for two reasons. 1- Turn a bug into a feature. 2- Spot new bugs and fix them for the other districts.

Most Trigger Bots just read values off the game's memory and not simply scanning for a specific color.
