    ok, but i still dont understand the need of remove the P5N5 instance. the game is more boring now.
     

    Having randoms affect a mission they're not in while also punishing a player for doing well is beyond ridiculous game design. There are still a few instances of poor game design in APB, but this was one of the most annoying but easiest to fix and I'm glad LO listened.

    Considering the game's history, it's probably true. This game historically has had so many things client-sided that... really shouldn't be. It's one of the very few things G1/RG did right back in the day, was shifting those kinds of things over. Who's to say they didn't miss a thing or two that can be exploited nowadays though? Game isn't exactly a great example of being coded well, after all.

    The fact that you can "speedhack" in APB using a program to delay packets says a lot. I have literally never seen this happen in other games.

    I think the main issue is progression, it needs a major rework. I'm talking about guns, vehicles, modifications and equipment being much easier to obtain for new players to, at least, level the playing field.

    Knowledge and skill, are impossible to fix from a gamedev point of view only, the one thing that can be done is introducing better matchmaking, but that will only actually make the game playable for everyone if we have a much bigger playerbase (several thousands of players online).

     

    Sadly, this discussion will never lead to a fix since the game is severely unpopulated. You either face people of your skill level and you barely get a match or you face people of lower/higher skill levels and you get matches constantly, those are the only options on the table right now and none of them are good for the game in terms of player retention.

    Wait, so you're telling me that no more bugs or issues will crop up opening up the Beta to more players than are available for SPCT? Sure why does anyone bother with an Open Beta then? Just go straight to release from Closed Beta. Shouldn't be any problems, clearly.

     

    Think for more than a second.

     

    No, buddy, I'm just saying it's literally a stress test. There's no such thing as an open beta that only lasts a few hours. You won't find that many bugs that aren't related to stress testing that the SPCT didn't already report. Sure, it's still a valid testing method but my point still stands, hit me up once I can properly play the game for more than a few hours.

    If anyone wants to cry about it being a stress test, don't bother trying to log in and leave it to people who actually want to get in and give grown up feedback.

     

    What feedback are you going to give from a few hours of testing that the SPCT didn't already give in months? Think for a second.

    So, Let me get this right... !!!YOU HAVE NOT REMOVED JOKER BOXES JUST MADE THEM MORE EXPENSIVE!!!

     

    Well, You had me until I heard you are going to be able to buy JT and when you buy JT you have a 1% chance to get a legendary fundamentally making them just a lootbox. Both of those things are an issue as you have made a NEW CASH SHOP CURRENCY and now also made anything exclusive to the JT store such as the Vegas Firebomb a from of P2W... 

     

    You have not removed the lootbox problem just tried to hide it while making it worse when anyone sits and thinks about it.

     

    Read the post and use your brain people and stop reading this post at face value and read the entire steam update, Thay have made the problem worse!

    https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/113400/view/2488750270042049233

     

    The sad thing about all this is that if you just made it so you could not buy JT from the store you would HAVE fixed the problem.

     

     

    Maybe you should read the post instead of jumping on here immediately. You have a 5% chance for every 2500 JT (500 G1C) spent activating a 7 day trial on a legendary. It's not gambling, if you have the possibility to get it when the progress bar reaches 100% (at approximately 20 trials).

    a .5TTK difference isn't a massive difference btw, yes FAR has the same TTK as ntec, it also has the same TTK as the OCA and ATAC, are you going to leave ATAC out of the equation when it sprays better than the FAR with the same TTK?

     

    FAR also doesn't have the same midrange TTK as the NTEC because its slower recovery. It's called a trade-off.

     

    I'll stop replying to forum posts when people stop posting.

     

    The mid-range trade-off is nowhere near as good as you think it is. Overall, the FAR is superior to the N-TEC. It has a way lower skill ceiling and shreds in CQC which is where most action is played anyway. In the early mid-range you can still pull off some "hold LMB to kill" type kills based on favorable RNG that is not possible with the N-TEC.

    Anything you throw at this argument is just pure stat comparisons that you do not correlate with actual gameplay, and that's not how you discuss game balance in 2020. Feel > Stats, any day.

    IStar has almost identical stats to the FAR, aside from the accuracy, bloom modifier (recovery is the same), and ammo.

     

    It does the exact same kind of spray as the FAR in cqc.

     

    Yes and let's just ignore the fact that the FAR has the same TTK as the N-TEC, right? Please just stop replying to my every post about the FAR, thank you.

    @GhosT FAR is so much better in CQC than the N-TEC ever was, you can literally just hold LMB, consistently.

    1 shot of OBIR in CQC puts you at 500hp, so you switch to your secondary and finish the kill.

    You can literally just spray the Obeya in CQC without ADSing and get a kill in a last resort situation.

     

    Are you sure you're playing the same game as everyone else, or just coming on the forums without even touching the game for years and formulating an opinion?

    Anyone that thinks BE is remotely better than EAC really need to get their facts together. BE isn't even catching triggerbots or macros like Matt said. I'm even inclined to say that BE is on manual mode for the time being, but can't be sure without actually testing (which I'm not going to do for obvious reasons).

     

    Anyways, we are back to having semi-private cheats running rampant very shortly.

    Oh really?

    OH REALLY?

    You two might know it but what about rest of playerbase?

    Last thing we need is newbies giving negative press. Of course via Youtube videos, Reddit threads, Twitter shitposts and review bombing.

     

    And that's why it's going on OTW before LIVE. It will only get bad press if LO starts marketing.

     

    I don't think we need to wait another 2 months for these issues to be fixed before we're allowed to test the game. Plus a lot more issues will be found when you got more than 20 testers playing the game.

    If the FAR and STAR was so much "better" than the NTEC, it'd be like the C-9 all over again. It isn't. There's a drastic difference between the NTEC and FAR. The FAR is MUCH more like the STAR than an NTEC.

     

    I don't understand why the cqc abilities were touched on the NTEC while the midrange were left untouched. However it seems clear that the intent was to make the NTEC worse in CQC to open up the niche more for STAR/FAR while leaving NTEC better at midrange. Giving players a choice between "good at 0-40m" vs "5/10-60"m

     

     

    Yes, the FAR feels more like the STAR, except its TTK is exactly the same as the N-TEC, but I don't recall saying the opposite. However, that doesn't mean that the jumpshotting nerf shouldn't be applied to these guns too.

     

    Also, like RespectThis said, you don't choose an AR based on its CQC abilities, well, actually, now you do.

    It was always supposed to be more of a mid range weapon than it was, which it is now, but the problem before was it could be used too well cqc too which was honestly just wrong, even if it was very good. Jumping around corners with the n-tec was just silly, no matter how much people tried to say it took skill to do that. It didn't, k? OK. there is a secondary weapon slot for a reason also.

    It's fine now. And the crosshair bloom/accuracy stuff... what's the problem? control your rate of fire. It's not an atac.

    I approve of this message.

     

    Except no one is saying otherwise, most of us are just "trying to explain" that the FAR and other ARs are actually better than the N-TEC now, while having a much lower skill ceiling. It's literally all about holding LMB in close range, even while jumping, the very thing that was nerfed on the N-TEC was and still is much more reliable on the FAR and other guns.

     

    I hope this concept is not hard to understand, and if it is, I'm terribly sorry.
