    So after battleye is implemented, can we use these things (untill implemented in-game)?

    -Hold to crouch

    -Toggle sprint

    -Mouse fix

    -Overwolf/mumble  custom crosshairs

      

    Pretty crucial things imo.

    Idk if anybody else had mentioned thus but Overwolf have stated they're in contact with the makers of the Ultimate Crosshair and they're going to try and make it an official app so it won't be bannable

    I can clearly see you don't live in an island , at my house i have a palm tree growing on a rock , and at our docks we do have palm trees exactly in this configuration .

    it might sound absurd to you , but palm trees can really grow anywhere

    I mean it's purely an aesthetic thing. They're called islands, just housings for plants. They build a closed wall, fill it with nutrient rich soil and stick pre-grown trees or whatever in there. You see this a ton in the desert, especially in rich neighborhoods

    unless there are some sort of benefits on pitch black districts

     

    like a credit multiplier or something

    mmm Maybe but people will ultimately abuse it by just ramping up their gamma

    Obviously,

      

    It does look fine but it isn't that good.

    It'll get better once we have proper dynamic lighting and shadows with 3.5

    Even the LOD's look better in those comparison pictures. For instance, look football shaped building in the background. The lines on the building look more defined as well as the textures. I've actually often wondered if at one point they'd ever consider increasing the max spotting range at 125m instead of 100..? So then you could balance guns around the new draw distance increase. I'm actually curious how much more progress in terms of textures, lighting, ambient occlusion, AA has been done ever since these last comparison pictures. 

     

    It makes me wonder at some point in the future if Little Orbit will hire a third party company to re-do the assets of everything in APB in higher detail or will they consider undertaking that task themselves? Maybe they could even think about approaching NVIDIA at some point about implementing hairworks into APB or some other proprietary technologies that NVIDIA are showing off. 

    I mean they did say they wanted to update the look of APB in terms of quality. Doing a pass on all the models is kind of essential for that. I could definitely see APB getting a few major visual upgrades so it looks current gen in the hopefully not so far off future

    3.5 is going to come with a plethora of visual/rendering changes and it can just get better with there

     

    RTW had terrible bloom which you only see in of course older games nowadays bloom is much higher quality and not much of an eyesore. What people are probably misunderstanding as “better” bloom then is the cross shape to the lights. Now we just had big blobs. Imo RTW was insanely too bright as night. I’d you’ve ever been in an actual city you’d know it can be fairly dark

     

    Aside from some minor color palette changes there’s not that much of a difference between G1’s “style” and RTW’s. When we finally get our hands on 3.5 and can see the changes live with our own eyes then people won’t be so eager to get that RTW look back

    i think this was addressed in a discord q&a, but scaleform is dead in the water

     

    i assume we’ll be getting a new ui with the 3.5 update tho

    I don’t remember seeing anything about it myself. Consoles are on 3.5 but look almost exactly the same UI wise besides some changes needed for controllers

    One thing I was curious about is finishing the implementation of scaleform UI. Currently the main menu and FPS counter are the only implementations. They were going to transition to it for optimization purposes since the current UI for inventories decreases FPS by quite a bit but they stopped pretty early for whatever reason. Engine Upgrade probably took priority at the time

    Sorry guys, had a meeting.

    " We’re not going to unban all players, for instance players committing credit card fraud, but we’re going to unban the majority of the bans."

    So MattScott the CEO said " Even if it is, players caught know they will get their accounts back with BE. Might as well go full blatant til then.  "

    So why didn't you put his name by the quote like - MattScott?

     

    Also find me the quote? the exact quote where he said this.

    I wanna see this too

    They talked very little about this topic, but they said that even on UE4 we won't see a significant change on the visuals. What I am trying to say on this topic is that we need more quality overall, not necessarily way better graphics, but the resolution of objects, decals, characters. As we all now, everything is a bit too pixelated at the moment. 

    They did say they were going to do a pass on the models or a visual upgrade iirc on the open letter blog. I agree that APB drastically needs a visual upgrade. Characters, weapons and vehicles still look like they’re stuck in last, last, last gen graphics though we’ll likely need to wait on either UE 3.5 or 4 because they have to dumb down the poly count and texture resolution on everything for optimization purposes

    It’s actually kind of sad how entitled the community has gotten. Obviously the old management did almost nothing for the longest time but that doesn’t mean you should just flip your shit at the new team just because “nothing has been done in a month”

     

    It’s not like they bought the company then instantly got the new devs and team set up with the game. Lord just have some patience

    I haven't played console APB since Xbone release but at least back then they had the day/night cycle disabled for technical reasons.

    I'd be pretty sad if they got rid of it for PC UE3.5

    I'd imagine they would've fixed it by now. Don't think they would've gotten rid of it, a lot of people including myself love it

    No one can say but they're communicating already 10x more than G1 was when they acquired APB and they seem like good people. I think it's worth it from the population boost on its own. Jericho has been almost hitting 700-800 people by itself every day which is a lot considering on a good day before Little Orbit came around it would be around 300

    will you be adding new hairstyles?

    will the new engine allow you to make clothes that were previously impossible to make? 

    will you be adding more realistic features to the game such as being able to shoot a character through the car window?

    will you be adding rain, snow, fog, night and day systems to the game? 

     

    Night and day cycles are already in game though

    holy shit, new face looks dope

    lol Thank you. New face? I honestly don't remember the last time I posted her anywhere. It's probably been a few years. I did look at old screens of her way back and I had zero clue on how to model my preferences onto a character so she looked really bad. I think she looks really good now compared to before so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
