The Nfas is a normal gun as well. Would you like that handed out for 15 days so everyone abuses it? Yes, its a burst pistol. ppl snipe with it np in its current form so increasing the range is warranted how? In its current form the RFP is consistent, consistently OP and abused. It can be used at all ranges and makes other pistols pointless not to mention with its pinpoint accuracy you can use it for that final kill shot from an OSMAW or qs the HVR. And no, the HVR wasnt ever nerfed as it is still very possible to qs with it as MS negates the increased equip time completely.

Even when we had a population you were constantly finding one sided matches of max rank golds vs some low rank silvers, bronzies or even a trainee. Cant say its due to a low pop when its been doing it since forever. Threat segregation isnt an option as that only brought on more problems when it was around in 2014 and those still persist today without it. Its mainly due to the fact that threat is extremely inaccurate and its so easy a caveman can get gold threat. Gold should only be the top tier players not 50%+ of the playerbase.

You mean how matchmaking is currently supposed to be pairing us?

Gee the test districts are dead, what a shock. Nobody wants to play a buffed RFP match and you gave out RFPs to everyone. Im sorry but where is the logical thinking in giving everybody the ability to abuse the gun in the reg districts? (For 15 days to boot)

Get used to it. With the changes made the RFP is a primary calibur gun thats a secondary. The range either needs to stay as it was orig or decrease. Pellet spread, again you dont need to track fully when you have spread like that you just need to get them close enough. Do remember that hitreg is non existent in APB so if this fabled engine upgrade ever comes out its all going to change as if hitreg does indeed work in the new engine everything we do now will change as we currently have to compensate for bad reg.

Hm. As it stands SMGs dominate close as hitreg means your lucky to land the shots needed to kill with a shottie and in reality shotties at close range should dominate to begin with. Its called pellet spread and its as deadly as it is for a reason, or should be if everything worked right.

Gee another maint thats run into problems, why am I so surprised. Oh wait this is G1 after all.

You mean the shitstorm thats been ongoing constantly for years now?

I see ppl hitting just fine, they do as is and a range increase is not needed. Range decrease and accuracy decrease is whats needed along with the damage nerf.

It still essentially matches an FFA / OBIR. It is a SECONDARY, it shouldn't be as good or better then a primary.

Right, so basically a secondary has the stats of a primary. Make the RFP a primary then if your going to have stats like that otherwise put up an actual nerf.

Just goes back to the point that the current matchmaking and threat need to be redone. Keeping the current system in any form will just lead to more problems.

1. Remove threat: It was called open conflict. It was DOA as none of the max rank try hards want to risk getting stuck with a potential low threat player. If threat is removed entirely it will only further the imbalanced matchmaking that we already have and will drive more ppl away as the ppl who arent as good wont have any fun, not to mention all the try hards will team together more to keep low ranks off their team. 2. Threat segregated districts: Back in the day G1 implemented segregated districts and its what caused the dethreating problem. Repeating this will only cause more dethreating and will only lead to more problems as this community outright refuses to even try to play nice. 3. More threat tiers: In the current system this would only lead to further dethreating due to extremely low population and nonbody wanting to play against similarly skilled opponents. If threat and matchmaking is redone then yea this could potentially be a thing but unless thats done this is a non option.

Adding a new threat wont solve the flawed threat system. Ppl will just dethreat even harder and your threat will still be heavily inaccurate when its the easiest thing in the world to get the top threat. Threat needs a complete overhaul to where its harder to dethreat, it more accurately shows your skill range and its actually a challenge to get the top threats.

I will say this, back in the day it was not 1/200 there were plenty of ppl including myself who went beyond 250 before getting a weapon. Having better rates is better but how about better rewards overall in the JMB? Premium time and Riot time would def be much more valuable then repeat timed weapons especially when you already own that weapon perm. Timed versions of the legendary gun would also be worthwhile till it was won perm.

Contacting the login and world servers takes forever, idk what you did @MattScottbut you messed up the servers. They were actually working quite well till you took them down. Edit: Inf loading screen. Matt you broke the game.

APB still lives on today. It has a loyal fanbase and could have gone places but G1 didnt give 2 shits and milked it instead. Thats a big difference then too much of a burden. Cause not updating your anti cheat frequently and not actively patrolling your servers with GMs will really make an anti cherat effective. There are layers put in place to catch hackers and G1 never put the time into doing that, while LO hasnt done so either to date.

If G1 gave the slightest shit yes it could have easily been fixed.

They money grabbed a game for yrs instead of updating it, fixing it and doing what should have been done to make it popular with a healthy playerbase.

Neither do I but I think we can both agree that ppl who continue to hack arent welcome.

APB could easily be mainstream if only things were fixed and hackers didn't control the game. G1 sure did a good job didnt they :^)

im all for 2nd chances but when ur on ur 5th reroll acc its time to do more to keep them out for good.

Just like it is for the HVR. Point in case its a qs

Never said it was, but that zoom at closer ranges does make it less viable. We both know how qs is viewed in APB so im keeping it under more skill oriented tactics.

Im not sure how this thread is still going when nobody plays RIOT since Matt killed it off from the getgo.
