Totally not the fact that Waterfront is less popular overall and it's sunday early morning in Europe in middle of summer break when you wrote this message.
Get over it, like any normal small pop game, APB dies when it's night in intended for that server region.

It's still a bother plus you shooting at shield will bring you to opposite team attention.
Leave one ladder blocked, other guarded. Bam, hard time to enemy even with number advantages which shouldn't be case.

I'm gonna pass on that one.
Yeah, important ladders are almost always blocked with them. Not even gonna talk about bunkering with LMGs.
Btw. ain't timer on activated deployable (time before it runs out)?

How does this relate to what you said previously and what I said?
So what if long term they don't give some mythical skill advancement? Same goes for usage of aimbot and wallhack.
Going back to what I said... cheat is cheat and shouldn't be ignored because they are not as benefical as aimbot for example.

Second - you have option to copy symbols, over and over - in case of symbols and music it's even free. You sound like you just made them one-time and don't save copies which is idiotic and beyond me.
Third and last. Going back to copies - you can flood market with copies of your symbols and sell them at much lower price and honestly, what gonna that investor do? He will have to lower prices below yours to sell anything.
I mean c'mon, it doesn't take MENSA memebership to figure that out. You could even ask veterans in-game about that problem, pretty sure everyone would explain it in the same manner.

Month without moan about PMG would be month lost.

Nice one lol.
In some way, yeah.
They allow abuse of every weapon which isn't automatic by making firerate impossibly perfect for anyone with human hand.
And the fact that they might be unhandy to use for macroer at certain times, honestly? Flies right over me. Cheat is cheat.

I want to remind you all that this game is in every aspect technically MMO. Hence why it has RNG mechanics and simplifed combat - of course it's made in such way to not be bullshoot as this game still is shooter but also MMO.
For it to be fully skill-based, there would need to be put major changes and all careful to not break already fragile balance of weapons which is clearly put in favour of RNG mechanics.
Not like i'm against skill-based game of course, I often get fucked by RNG myself.

Sure but I love to treat it as unexpected FC with objectives. Also hillarity during that kind of matches is gigantic. It litteraly turns in street war.

1 hour ago, Frosi said:Not to come off as cocky but you should really form an opinion around these changes after you played on the patch. Initial feedback is good but some of your points are flat out wrong in the actual gameplay scenario.
If they aren't even live, how can I play them?
Question mark is there for a reason. It's all theory for now. And warning. Hey but what do I know. OBT Veteran who play this game from OBT minus 2 years of break, so I can surely say we didn't had big nerfs and "fixes" which broke balance in-game, right? Right?
-
Huh, well there goes all this threads with sceptism toward LO.
Here's my review:
17 hours ago, Sakebee said:PC CHANGES/FIXES
Mission Changes √√√
-
We've manually adjusted stage timers and point totals to account for various mission factors. Some examples include:
- Number of objectives √
- Distance between objectives √
- Size of task items (Small, Medium, Large) √
- Objective location (Streets, Satellites, Open Areas) √
- Final stage timers and point totals for stages that have points have been reworked to focus more on point totals and less on timers. √√
- Bonus time missions now end early when unopposed to prevent stage time pooling. Bonus time based missions now begin with a larger timer. √
- Stage timers have been normalized when swapping between attack and defend stages. √? (Not sure if that really was issue with missions)
- Missions where the first stage involves three objectives have had their stage timers increased to prevent the defenders from having an immediate advantage. √
- Moved all VIP/Escort missions to a minimum group size of 3. √√√
- Re-evaluated the minimum group sizes for every mission in the game. √√√
- 50 previously disabled missions have been added back into the available mission pool and are updated to current mission standards. √√√
Modification Changes X
- Turned Mobile Cover into an Orange Character Modification and reduced its HP value slightly, 650 HP -> 600 HP X (Will make for useless orange mod then which nobody gonna use as mobile cover is very situational.)
- High Burn Fuel will now reduce Vehicle HP by 15%, in addition to its current effect. X ? (That downside seems too harsh, especially coupled with vehicle changes.)
Consumable Changes √
- Reduced the current HP damage of Epinephrine Injector from 50% damage -> 25% damage. √
- Med Spray now also doubles your base HP regeneration in addition to its previous effect √
- Renamed Resupply Box (Large) -> Resupply Box √ ? (Not mega important)
- Resupply Box is now a medium size item ??? (Wut?)
- Resupply Box has all the same functionality of the current Resupply Box (Large) ?????? (Do you mean that all resupply boxes are now medium variants of them?)
-
Added Consumables into Wilde's shop in Social at the following prices: √ ? (Would also put them at contacts for the same prices. It's usual first place for newbies to look for them.)
- Epinephrine Injector - 5 charges for 2,000 APB$ √
- Med Spray - 5 charges for 2,000 APB$ √
- Resupply Box - 5 charges for 2,000 APB$ √
- Satchel Charge - 5 charges for 2,000 APB$ √
- Boom Box - 10 charges for 2,000 APB$ √
-
Changed how cooldowns work for deployables. The Cooldown starts right away, and the item will now last for a set amount of time unless destroyed:
-
Mobile Cover (orange mod)
- Cooldown: 120s √
- Duration: 60s √
-
Resupply Box
- Cooldown: 180s √
- Duration: 90s √
-
Boombox
- Cooldown: 60s √
- Duration: 45s X (Is boombox REALLY that op to even have duration of use? Right now it's put out of use by gigantic majority of players.)
- Changes to remove the use duration on Spotter, Epinephrine Injector, Blowtorch and Med Spray will be coming in a subsequent patch X (Spotter and Blowtorch will be buffed like that...)
-
Mobile Cover (orange mod)
Weapon Changes XXX (This changes are really bad in my opinion)
-
Reduced Blowtorch healing rate by 46% √
- Hard damage dealt: -8.8 -> -5.6 √
- Reduced Blowtorch ammo capacity from 800 -> 350 X (Along with hard damage nerf it makes blowtorch use up a lot more ammo - meaning that real capacity dropped as twice as you provided. Overnerf.)
- Reduced AAEPD 'Volcano JC' max hard damage from 1227 -> 800 XXX (Bad decision which will push out Volcanos and put in OSMAWs)
- Reduced ISSR-B hard damage from 72.9 -> 45 XXX (Just killed one good ability of very balanced gun)
- Reduced ISSR-A hard damage from 70.1 -> 51 XXX (And it's worse brother)
- Reduced SWARM hard damage from 50.7 -> 40.95 X √ (It needed just a nudge honestly)
Car Changes ? (Possible unseen consequences?)
-
Modified the HP values for cars in the following way:
- Bishada: 900 -> 1,150 (HBF 977) √
- Jericho: 1,100 -> 1,150 (HBF 977) √
- Vegas 4x4: 1,350 -> 1,150 (HBF 977) √
- Vegas: 1,350 -> 1300 (HBF 1,105) √
- Pioneer: 1,600 -> 1,350 (HBF 1,147) X (Car which only reason for most of pop to use was because it was tank gets nerfed... Do math for consequences.)
- Espacio: 1,600 -> 1,350 (HBF 1,147) X (See above)
- Growl: 950 -> 1150 (HBF 977) √
- Mikro 900 -> 950 (HBF 807) √ ? (It looks more like change just for the sake of changing.)
- Varzuga variants 900 -> 950 (HBF 807) √ ??? (Why just that tier 1 car? Why not other tier 1 and tier 2 cars? Why not tier 0? Why they don't get modifed HP or other values? They are currently considered as lesser than tier 3 in every single aspect (Minus Dolton Fresno))
-
Modified the Cargo Space for the following vehicles:
- Mikro: 4 -> 5 √
- Vaquero: 4 -> 5 √
- Rally Varzuga: 4 -> 5 √ ? (Didn't knew it got nerfed cargo space)
- Han Coywolf: 2 -> 5 √
Final review:
? (Needs way more testing, might cause long-term problems and might greatly affect car play negatively.)

We've manually adjusted stage timers and point totals to account for various mission factors. Some examples include:
-
Alright. I give it a chance.
Although this time if you guys really don't feel ready, don't fire it up - you saw what happened last time.
Less disappointment that way than firing it up and crashing and burning.

Imagine LO making zero-RNG weapons rn. - just like that, no other counterbalance.
It would be chaos and forums would be flooded with "pls nerf" threads for months to come.
Not like i'm in favour of this RNG mechanism but APB proved to be delicate game for changes and even subtle change in one weapon or car can create great problematic landslide.
-
Players.
Remove players.
All problems solved.

Shredder.
Don't get me wrong, I really would want to love that weapon but it's bad on all ranges. It technically got "middle" range (5m-10m) niche but fighting on that specific range with shotgun is rare.
-
FAR.
Great weapon for all ranges, with some trade-offs of course but you never are "outranged" with it. Plus hipfiring is OP in many CQ situations.

7 hours ago, NotZombieBiscuit said:Not even CBT. XXXXXDDDD
Well I barely catched into OBT bracket so...
Nothing wrong with not being RTW/CBT/OBT Veteran. This game got such bad and small marketing that it just reached my eyes on OBT when some Youtuber I watched at the time played it.
-
This outburst of sudden nihilism in replies tho.
APB EU will come out, don't ya worry. At that stage, even on last breath.

It's funny that the only way to get 4-slot tier 2 anti-vegas vehicle is to get it out of JMB (And now not anymore).

We got such threads weekly...
...But this one is from veteran? Oh my.

8 hours ago, Sayori said:You forgot something very important, but it's ok, no need to post it because it's against your narrative I guess...
So let me get it:
He looked up fairfight rules to know what properly triggers ban.
He then gives that message after being banned:
And then totally gets rid of FF because he by per rule got banned by it?
You do realize it sounds like bullshoot, do you? Pretty sure he looked up FF rules to know what should and what shouldn't ban. And for him to say such thing means he was banned OUTSIDE ruleset.His "narrative" sticks.
8 hours ago, Sayori said:If this rule is so very specific that chances to trigger it are thinner than lottery, he knew about it, did what it had to be done.
Clearly not since someone with zero experince whatsoever in playing APB could trigger it outside ruleset (but with a lot in bug testing).
8 hours ago, Sayori said:And I'd say this was very rare rule to trigger considering majority of players didn't get banned but certain people...some over and over again.
We don't talk about players banned 20 times for cheating (although FF is known to have "blacklist" of players which were instant banned). We talk about players which were like me: Played properly, got banned like I would use some insane cheats. But hey, it's not only me: (pulled just from front of page) players such as MrAfroGer, Mooke or Snubnose. You can say honestly, here in front of us all - that they were cheaters?
8 hours ago, Sayori said:This really invalidates the entire test...
But hey, lets keep getting things out of context.
The only guy who keeps it out of context so far is you. Don't try to justify outdated tool which ran on flags and manual bans as way to function.
If not for LO, this game would be dead by now and that's fact. I trust their judgement fully.

Is everybody here having some kind of major amnesia?
We had no server threat segregation, everybody immediately were for bringing it back.
Better.
But I'm still for consolidation of districts.
