@Hexerin Difference between EA Lootboxes and LO/G1 Lootboxes and their policies: 1. You don't have so-called "entry fee" like YongYea perfectly explained in case of LO games. They are in F2P models. In Electronic Arts model you spend 70$ or more depending on edition for right to even play damn game. 2. EA consciously locks up game progression or harms gameplay to encourage buying boxes where good reward chance is super low, in case of LO - while there are lootboxes, they both don't harm gameplay because there are good if not better free alternatives to that weapons out there as well as if you really want you can buy "rewards of lootboxes" aka. legendary weapons of other players on the marketplace. Good luck seeing that in any EA game. 3. EA keep lying to gamers about "no lootboxes" being in their games. After premiere, they add lootboxes. And continue what was said above. 4. EA bypasses law which would make all their games with lootboxes +18. As lootbox is gambling with real money it falls under PEGA rating of A. Most of their games though at best are rated at T. They specially avoid narrative that this is gambling. They also avoid narrative of gambling due to it being taxed by goverment. Hence why such idiotic comments from EA representatives. EA had it coming if you ask me. They basically switched their model to lootbox revenue and it gonna bite them hard in the patootie. And honestly? I can't be more happy about that. They ruined every series I loved by ruining studio producing them. Mass Effect, Sims, Simcity, NFS... list goes on and on. I hope they go bankrupt. Because as publisher, they got nothing other to offer.

Honestly I'm annoyed by that song, mainly because of that drop each time I enter menu. It hurts my ears and annoys the hell out of me. Plus I prefer old one for nostalgia trip. My god. This were good times...

Dunno why, your pictures seem to be gone. Well my personal thoughs are that either shadow setting itself is messed up... or it's somehow interconnected with lighting. I would play with that two settings. Do you have Light Environment Shadows turned on?

A bit

*Chuckles* They are not.

8 threads, 4 cores. Who lied to me? I do know how cores work... Nvm. I took threads for cores. 4 threads, 2 cores. Might make it weaker i3 out of rest but still APB don't use more than one.

Let's just agree that secondaries shouldn't be more powerful than primaries in their class.

I love to follow people hidden in shadow and jump on them when they least expect it. If you are confident of your skills, it's pretty good strategy although not applicable always. Using car as temporary barriers is one strategy as well. Your own car can be ally on it's own if you are smart with it. Again, not always you will have access to car though. Some objectives are not even accessible with it. I try to pick up only one enemy from whole team. If I see second one joining up, unless I'm in pretty good situation or with my back to wall, I usually abort that attack and try to run away or evade them. No shame in that, you resume attack sooner or later. Might even lure enemy out of hiding into more favourable spot for you. I'm also on lookout for suspicious "pieces of metal" sticking out there and there. While enemy is usually smart enough to hide somewhere, either their impatience or bad positioning can give away they camping spots. If you know there are several enemies in certain spot, dropping nade there is not so bad of idea. Treat your primary or secondary as finisher then. If you facing some people which are better than you in terms of skills, at least try to outsmart them. Taking longer time to wait for right moment is better than dying several times until mission will end.

Nice meme, my dude.

APB? ESPORTS? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No seriously Matt. Don't. This "league" would be filled with scandals about cheats. Pretty sure that at first tournament they would be catched red-handed.

You guys just noticed? I talk about that gun for fucking months.

Will.io/APB <- Look at RIOT population. Imagine segregating it. Imagine it. (Servers marked as unknown are RIOT ones). No. It's either we allow clans and groups to dominate RIOT matches or seperate them in team creation process - nothing between. I think second option would make RIOT games way more less cancerous. I proposed waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before RIOT Beta was even out that they should make teams random despite groups (something which I think was case even in Christmas event). Did they listen? Of course not. They straight up ignored me and others. Thread got deleted too. Why even bother suggesting, when other side don't bother listening?

No. It's because mostly is still driven by clans (just like AA was). I saw few clans carry themselves to victory in AA, something which GMs somehow forgot to prosecute.

My setup is mobile - it's problem on it's own but bypassable if I set up maximum performance battery settings and hook it up to power supply. It never will give me 100% (due to heat on it's own) but surely give me maximum it can get. 8 thread 4 thread I3-3120 M, 8 GB of RAM (can't get more in there but should be alright, task manager always was of help with allocating RAM where it supposed to be - great tool), AMD Radeon 7600M HD (2 GB GPU, while it is defintely no-no in modern games, should work perfectly for game from 2010). Funnily enough I just replaced cooling pasta on PC and checked if temperature is proper. It is along lines of producent advice but would be "overheating" in normal PC (mind you high performance laptops always work hot). I was able in 2013 to run APB with this setup at stable 100-110 FPS. each update litteraly eaten away my FPS. Had eventually to involve settings downgrades, Advanced APB Launcher, config changes and task manager manipulations to get decent 60 FPS. Since last patch I got cut off from last option which now forces me to... 40 FPS. All it misses is ban on Advanced APB launcher and forced config and tada, i'm in unplayable zone (Thank God I got better PC just-in-case, yet this is my main PC so... yeah). No major changes done to this PC whatsoever (Still using Windows 8.1, I try to not update GPU drivers cause newer drivers seem to make issue worse (!)). So yeah. I know what my setup can and can not. And at this point it can run 2016 games better than 2010 game on old, unstable engine which breaks down with each update. And what the fuck? Why would I upgrade for 2010 game? This PC is from THIS era of this game. What was done in it that it eats so much resources? I don't see any major change to 2010. Just cause they coded in few gamemodes and weapons shouldn't eat so hard on resources. My only plausible reason for upgrade would be if they upgrade to EU 3.5 and my PC not being able to handle it at all - but they don't. And we still at the same engine which keep eating resources for no visible gain. Yeah. This game turns so hardcore elitist but in totally wrong direction. By driving away little pop we have. "We exclude everyone who can't meet cap" ~ APB Elitist probably If you look at my APB old forums past comments on forum threads, you can see spirale of me complaining about dropping performance further and further. I mean for fuck sake. It keeps getting worse. And accept everyone who cheat like some kind of sheep? Lolno. You will see I'm right in the end. Like I've been with many other issues of this game. There must be first something to praise and not just "OMG THEY ADDED FREE WEAPONS WHICH MOST OF US HAD IN ONE OR OTHER VERSION TO JD STORE BUT LET'S IGNORE RIOT DISASTER AND PERFORMANCE DECREASE". Yep. From my test with hardware it turned out that anything which is lesser than 1 GB GPU can harm performance but anything in that line or above don't affect gameplay at all, even at max. Of course. This patch hardly feels like "ready". Rushed is more in place. I'm not gonna go with Ryzen purely for APB (and most of modern games are pay-wall trash so i'm not even bothering purchasing them or playing them in F2P model - this range of games I want to play is perfectly fine on this setup with the sole expection of APB...) And it's not about GPU, it's about how APB distribute resources (and it does so badly) - I guess it's all because APB is 32-bit application. When they upgrade APB to 3.5, it will become 64-bit application and it would need to be really potato PC to not feel any difference about that, even 2010 setups should feel huge difference as APB will use resources to full capacity.

xD Greaaaaaat.

I'm not suprised but kinda my RIOT rant might brought shadow a bit on other problems with this patch. And honestly dunno who restricted possiblity of tampering with task manager priority. It's idiotic and actively harms my gameplay.

Most of population was banned. Many unjustly and Citadel population stood at 300 at peak. Man it would be dead by now. Imagine Citadel with Jericho population.

RIOT aside this time. My game is way less stable after this patch, had to drop Advanced Launcher to minimal and even then I have connection problems which time me out... a lot. And the fact that you blocked off priority manipulation in fucking task manager piss me off even more - now my game is totally unstable (because APB executable is so dumb that it don't take all possible resources). And to top it off... I don't see any changes after EAC implementation. Same people which shouldn't be with us are playing. Maybe some got caught but honestly... I don't feel that much of change.

And still sounds more sane than Reddit.

Yeah let's listen feedback of one guy. Everybody else, shut up! His word is divine. That's how despotism works. Also I would love to see examples of his enlightened ideas. Pretty sure everything he talked about was inspired by forums threads or in-game talks.

Look up Reddit. Idiocracy at it best.

I did google it. But with APB everything is "as it should be" until it's not really. I closed game normally. Via exit APB button. I just don't want it to find it as justification for some ban. Punkbuster did that shit with badly installed PB in some games I played (which self-installed and self-updated itself wrongly... so who is to blame here?) and banned people, in more extreme cases... even permantely.

My entire rant about this is here: So I guess nothing really to add. Just freaking do your shit.
