APB:REROADED ...I'll get me coat.

I find it's accuracy being on the edge of being bad at least for the distance it still does 100% of it's damage at. You are going to miss a lot of shots from extreme distances unless enemy is entirely exposed (I have PR2 and the Old Glory) out in the open. If only half of their body is visible, you will miss a shot or two to RNG. And from any closer than the absolute edge of it's range, Obeya CR762 has you had in just over two thirds of the time it takes you to spit out enough bullets to kill a person. It's only advantages are that people don't think it as a threat and you literally just need to hold mouse1 and track them.

I disagree. I think it's still on the edge of being too much of an obvious choice because it's a beast. I've been looking at all the weapons in APB and specially the both ends of "grand scheme of things" I see few anomalies. There's few guns at the top end that may require being looked at, but there is a ton more stuff that's sitting neglected thrown in the trash bin because they are utterly useless. Taking small surgical snips out of few of the top kek weapons and giving more focused roles to some of that unused garbage will even out the grand scheme of things nicely. I'd just take the extra 2 bullets away from N-TEC (more kalashnikov-ish) and maybe think about reload time (maybe make it same as on STAR). I'd allow it to stay as a very good weapon, but it needs a bit of a handicap somewhere. Not by much though, oh no. I'm talking like a change of 2 bullets and a 0,4 seconds here... NHVR I do not want to really even talk about, but something needs to be done. I'm just kinda lost with it and wishing it wouldn't exist, but that's as much due to some silly mechanics in APB as it is about the gun itself. It's a fine sniper rifle if you use it only for sniping from a far, but it shouldn't be able to be used in CQC to the degree it is being used at the moment while still getting away with using it in such way. I mean QSing with it you can challenge ALL CQC WEAPONS in the game and get away with it?!? On the other end, we have things like the norseman series which is like going into a fight without primary weapon at all... They are somewhat fun to use, but utterly garbage if your enemy is even near to your level (of skill) and full on suicide if the enemy is above your level.

Since BE is a CLIENTSIDE anti-cheat, people would have noticed that. I mean, it's propably going to be the first real patch the game has seen in like 9 months (the patches we've had within that timeframe have just been in and out phasing of recycled holiday events).

I would pay for a name change on US server, if there just weren't an unsettled dispute between still un-merged R9 and R10 characters over it...

I don't like to be completely naked, leather seats and couch do become a bit uncomfortable if I am.

I've sometimes wondered if APB is the prime target in the first place, as there is nothing to be gained from DDoSing it, but without knowledge on what else is hosted by same datacenters you can't really tell. Also the power of haterd and lengths people are willing to go when fueled by it must not be overlooked.

Judging by what people usually wear when they are standing on a red carpet, we aren't far from that...

There are more not-golds than golds in the playerbase. If there were to be a vote that was arranged democraticly, golds would lose most of these elections unless they get support from silvers. Pretty much. There are currently some gold players who have way more power over the game than the random silver due to their heards of followers and whatnot. I'm just a hermit living in a cave near the village, rarely seen by anyone.

He did mention colourblind mode. The answer was bit mixed as it was for so many different aspects of a broad question, but it's something he wants to be put in the game.

I agree with none of this. NTEC is the only one on your list I'd be even willing to discuss, mainly since it's so vastly overused over other alternatives due to it's immense flexibility to be jack of all trades.

This is getting out of hands...

It has been opened. And while I like some nudity (who doesn't), I don't need it to be a thing in APB. Cartoonish symbols? Maybe. Making your female character look topless using symbols? It just looks wrong and stupid in a gunfight.

That's propably because APB originally came from EU, however both do apply to the game depending on your locaton. There are other rating systems too, but ESRB and PEGI are the most widely known ones.

They are going to have a field day with battleye when it gets patched in and previously banned accounts released. Call it a stress test if you want.

I think a compromise somewhere in-between could be found? There are a lot of things I would like to pick from both. The darker areas (back alleys, tunnels, interiors) were almost as bright at nights in RTW as open areas are now. I want the dark alleys and shady backstreets and bright days and higher quality sky.

Volvo S80 D5 AWD Aut. Executive Almost 10 years old by now and done 333000 kilometers. I've had it for 4 years now.

If SPCMs were to be re-introduced, I'd make them use different account from their main for it. A pre-set account with pre-set characters, owned by the company, all dressed similarly and with similar disticntive names and only to be used for helping and mentoring. Possibly even putting them under NDA if deemed necessary. This way it would be more easy to monitor that they are actually doing what they are supposed to do and not part of the program just for ego boost.

Is it possible to add "remove formatting" and "show code" buttons to this forum text box thingy's toolbar like the old forum had?

I've heard from cases where people have been temporarily banned from Twitch for spending prolonged perioids of time in the strip club looking at the ladies. Some content on games is always going to be borderline, and it's often as much about how the rules are interpreted as it is about the rules. If you have clear rules, they are easier to interprent and thus enforce. It could be as simple as LO wanting to make it easier to interpret what is allowed and what not, it's not like the symbols are critical to gameplay in a way that there either must be nudity or they're useless. In my opinion, nudity isn't required element in APB. I prefer to leave some room for imagination...

I'm not in charge of legislation, but I know I can advertise lingerie with pictures of a girl wearing nothing but on a street but not put the same picture in the same place without them (unless I add something else).

Schrödingers character. Simultaineously exists and doesn't exist. Curious to see what is their stance on accounts banned so long ago.

You don't need a special tag to answer questions and help people. Some of the programs were like a two-edged sword. While the intention was good, in some cases only things served were the egos of those involved.

To expand on the thought on my previous post, Twitch for example doesn't allow streaming of games rated AO (adult only). So while this game is 18+ here in europe, which is kinda the "top kek tier" because we are seen as adults at this point and are able to buy beer n stuff around that age (minor differences between the exact age and legislation between countries), there are no further tiers for rating games. In US of A this is rated M, which is something like 17+ if I've understood it correctly, which is still one tier down from your "adult only" content. You don't want to risk a game to get pushed to AO only due to people being able to create AO content aka. "gentleman's special interest literature", because it'll pretty much ruin a lot of potential for events and e-sports and what not that could be created around that game. Tiddies with some cloth thrown on them is sexual content (M). Naked ones are ****ographic (AO). It's that simple. Now making this ruling (which has pretty much always existed and was just worded badly and interprented in various ways) enforced after such a long perioid of total anarcy is going to make some feel like something is being taken away. And indeed something is being taken away, though it is things that shoudn't have been there in the first place due to what I just explained. But earlier administration was propably already deep enough in trouble with more burning day-to-day issues when tiddies and whatnot started appearing on creations and character designs, and the fine line drawn on water on what was and what wasn't allowed has been floating around in the sea of neglect ever since.
