Similarities

I understand what you're saying, but someone must exist to keep up the website, what if they find a problem in their code /database that exposes user data? What if a zero-day is discovered in one of the plugins they use? Things like that are incredibly serious and need to be handled by SOMEONE, you need to prepare for the future to some amount, you can't live your life working on day-to-day problems and then be met with a serious one that you can't handle because you don't have the right people on hand, and a dev team always needs to have the right people on hand at a moment's notice. Zero-day exploit patching, securing customer payment data, problems with payment providers, these are all things that need to be handled in a timely manner. What if suddenly ARMAS went down because of payment issues? You know the ones I'm talking about. What would they do? They have no web devs, they have nobody to fix it, nobody to look into it. What if an API becomes obsolete and replaced by something else? Nobody to dev the sites, nobody to update the APIs. They need to prepare for the future, web development is an ever-changing field, and they need SOMEONE to be able to maintain the sites. (ARMAS, forums, homepage, etc) You can't just fire Y to hire X because then Y's job will not be done, X can't do Y's job. Y could do Y's job but Y is no longer here.

I think it'd be a very bad move to fire all the people doing the web development, yes it's a different area, but it's a different area that resources need, no matter how big or small, skeleton crew or not, the web side of things needs to be tended to by SOMEBODY. I understand that you understand that X cannot go to Y and vice versa, so why should Y be removed if there's a legitimate use for them, no matter how big or small?

Lowering the cooldown for premium players is legitimately p2w in a sense, yes it's unlikely to win you the mission, but it can definitely change how a mission plays out. I'm all for it boys, girls, and other.

Sorry for the bump, but this is definitely an issue on lower-end machines, my PC sucks and I get this on occasion when loading into districts, loading back in tends to fix it, but it's very finicky and tends to be quite the annoyance when it occurs after spam joining a district, it also seems I can't be tabbed out while loading in (for obvious reasons.)

Awesome, absolutely awesome. Great work team, great work Matt, Lixil, Selali, Androvald, Aphadon, Beastie and whoever else I might've missed. (I'm sorry!)

The fact you think I've shamed you for calling you out on the weapons you use not being adjusted is hilarious. You started it, now because you can't end it you're pulling the victim card? Lol'd. Go back to your tinfoil lined room bud.

That's coming from someone who has never won a mission against me in their life, even going as far as to not get a single kill in one of them outside of car det. You also hackusated me before. Nice try though.

Too long. Depending on the request it can take several months.

Every time I played you, you were using car det and PMG/Volcano/OPGL. None of those got touched. Not sure where your complaints of the weapons going to trash are coming from. The HVR being changed doesn't stop you from using that, I'm using it and going 3:1-4:1 KDR often, or you could use your usual PMG/Volcano/OPGL, you could even learn the "overpowered" (as you put it) Carbine, or...any of the other guns in the game.

Eh, I can play at ~130ms, even higher on the occasion that EU's ping shoots up in district for some reason. Speaking from experience. Going from 60ms to 130ms is an adjustment, but with EU being the only server that is even semi-alive, I need to play there.

Game doesn't have lag comp and the "lag comp" is terrible.

A lot of that comes down to shaders, the RTW shaders were better but I don't think they'll ever be restored. I was working on my own shader library to replace the RTW feel and look while also being marginally more optimized than the current ones, but I will never finish it because of the ruling on shaders.

shotguns dunk pistols in CQC idk what ur on about lul

Here's the real, hard truth. The game being 9 years old means nothing, look at FFXI, WoW, and FFXIV, subscription model games which have improved and taken different forms with the releases of expansions over and over, is it the same core game? Yes, definitely. FFXIV 4.x still runs on FFXIV 1.x's broken codebase, but they can still produce content and change how the game functions on a fundamental level in 2 years, something APB hasn't had in the past 8 years. Until we get devs that don't break things every update and think they can use RPCs for everything, regardless of if it's something client/server exclusive or important data (e.g. FF & BE), this game won't get better. Figure out how RPCs work, figure out server and client replicated fields, put the devs through a UE game development course if you need to, this isn't rocket science. Is the codebase bad? Yes, that's a fair excuse, but I wouldn't say your code is any better, ex-Reloaded.

From what I recall, you're just not allowed to open them anymore.

If you're consistently losing to the N-TEC in CQC with a PMG/OCA, you ARE just bad.

No, it really doesn't, because that's the STAR's role. Don't put the N-TEC in the STAR role. Make the N-TEC less accurate in CQC so that it can be the mid-long range AR that consistently loses to other weapons in CQC (and the area between CQC and mid-range, such as the Carbine range) Examples being...? Norseman guns don't count. N-TEC loses to PMG, N-TEC loses to OCA, N-TEC loses to Manic, N-TEC loses to Curse, etc, etc, etc...

Shot 1: Hit, but was far away so could've been bad RNG Shot 2: Hit, but reasonable low damage because of RNG, Showstopper has quite a wide bloom. Shot 3: Hit, should've been a meatshot. Shot 4: Clear miss. Shot 5: Clear miss. Shot 6: Hit, should've been a meatshot. Not rocket science folks, the enemy should've taken a lot of damage or died. Bad RNG isn't an excuse for this to be +32.

i guess it's true that some things never do change.

NA is mega dead, might as well move to EU while you have the chance.

Nope, it was an unintentional and buggy feature added by G1 that didn't subtract the right amount of money when restocking your gun. Good riddance, thanks LO for fixing this unintended (and buggy) feature by removing it.

K quoting is broken because this forum really fucking sucks and somehow it hasn't been fixed, anyway, yeah fuck the deli, I'd rather work the night shift and get my extra dollar without all the requirements of working the deli. Far more strict (obviously) and also much more of a pain in the patootie with worse hours, they tried to have my patootie working like 12PM-8PM and I was like "Nope." because no way in hell I'm working that late, I'd rather work all night and leave before traffic gets bad.

Dead-end grocery store job is the best game, I get to play a bunch of mini-games like opening boxes, stacking cans, and then sleeping at home before returning to work more.

It's an FPS config lol, what advantages does it give? The inability to see through a fence? Black smoke from blown up cars/grenades? Yeah, d00d it's so AdVaNtAgEoUs to not see SHIT. They are PERCEIVED as larger, that does not MAKE them larger. By making them about 33% larger via stretching 4:3 (which I don't do), the models also travel across the screen 33% faster. You don't remove a good feature because of a bug, you fix the bug to polish the feature. Since when was this suddenly a feature and not a bug caused by the last update?

Later, take your tears with you in a bucket so somebody else doesn't steal them to use later when they make another "hager kill game :(" post.
