to be honest, along with a unique customization system, I think APB's gun play is the only other thing that makes this game pretty unique. I wouldn't have continued playing and constantly coming back to APB if its combat was any different than it is now, but if there are changes people want to see happen, then I wouldn't see a problem with that as long as it goes through OTW and the community approves of it.

That bug was patched pretty quickly, probably a day or two after it was found. I can't imagine RS3 making a significant difference in spread, if any at all. The CSG and TAS are the same exact weapons statistically, so I can't see there being any notable differences between the two weapons besides their appearance and sounds.

My suggestion doesn't fuck over people who have FC-Only characters (in other words, does not punish players who have been playing normally for more than 10+ hours) while the current system we have now prevents someone from being able to cheat in FC for only an hour or two, and a product of that poor restriction is that innocent players who are lower than r30 are punished and forced to play missions. If you actually think this is a legitimate way to restrict cheaters, then why stop there? Why not force all characters under r30 to go into a "new player district" and play until r30 in order to play missions in normal gold/silver/bronze/green districts?

And playing til r30 isn't "too easy?" R30 takes a couple of hours to get. 1-3 hours is less than 10. If it takes 10 hours to enter FC districts, that's an extra 7/8/9 hours it'll take someone who's cheating to make a new account and borg in fc.

potentially. I wouldn't mind it, rather be sprayed down by 2 snubs instead of an idiot hugging a corner with an NFA.

Idk didnt really think of it. If the TG8 has a faster equip time, then it would easily be better. Probably doesn't. No clue.

TG8 and pig would be dumb, and I guess snub would have a faster fire rate if you were able to switch back and forth between them? I don't really know.

idk how you mistook my acknowledgement of your overabundance of hackusations as "salt," but whatever. You're self aware, and at least you can admit to it.

They've probably been putting it off since you hackusate literally anyone who's capable of minttking you.

I don't know how you come up with 30 deaths. it sounds exaggerated, but I don't think I can relate to you at all. Over the past few months I've been actively playing, I only accused maybe 2 or 3 people of cheating, I don't understand how people hackusate so often and just give up when someone minttks them more than a few times. There are really good players in this game, you're sorta fucking yourself by just assuming everyone who dumpsters you is a cheater, because then you're blaming the game and not improving off your possibly flawed playstyle. Hell, it's 100% possible to win against a chunk of cheaters. OCA/ntec bots can easily be countered with JG/CSG. hug corner and pop shot.

Well if you're willing to dismiss the mission so quickly and give up within seconds of matching up against someone, I doubt you really care about whether the "botter" wins or not.

why not at least try? seriously, its frustrating to get matched up against a 3 man premade and some dumb fuck on your team just says "well ggs, im not playing this one" and afks/griefs until you kick them. just close your game if you aren't willing to play it. It's really crazy how often people will just hackusate and give up without even attempting to win.

Even if new accounts couldn't redeem premium trial codes (if they still work nowadays) I'm sure getting to r30 in under 10 hours wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Make a new account, make a new character, join a bronze mission district, play until you hit R30. There's no way it takes you longer than 10 hours to get R30. I doubt it'll take you longer than 3 hours. What's obvious? You clearly don't remember how fast early ranks pass by.

Yeah but that's still 10 hours longer a cheater would have to wait to cheat in FC. Not even that bad if you think about it... way better than a cheater playing an hour or so just to get r30.

That's what I'm saying. If they're concerned about new players joining FC before they even learn how to play the game, or just cheaters jumping right back into FC after being banned, they should at least make the requirement to access FC take up a chunk of the players time. Maybe not, all I know is that overall playtime for each individual character is tracked, so I can't see why they wouldn't try something like this.

If your concern is primarily about new players joining and getting stomped and causing frustration among the players, or people making new chars just to grief, why not just lock FC behind a playtime wall for each individual character. This way, people with low ranked FC characters don't have to rank up to 30 just to play. I think this would be a more effective way of addressing your concerns, considering the fact that rank 30 only takes an hour or two to get. Only allow players who've played 10+ hours into FC.

did u get banned? u usually tell people to neck themselves, then flirt with gms over district chat only seconds later. then again, i havent seen u online since june or something.

Except the oscar takes a tiny bit more skill than carbine. They're both spammable, but he carbine is just easy.

Sounds like a boring repetitive activity I would need to do to get my ~20% weekly cap of JT. Doesn't really sound like something people would want. I'm not opposed to variety, I just don't think APB needs PvE content, especially when it pulls players away from other players missions when Jericho rarely peaks 350 players nowadays.

Just like how there's "no point" in using most other weapons in APB because the ntec exists? I love how people are shitting on the oscar so much as if it's as cheap/easy/powerful as the OCA and ntec. At least the person stomping you with the oscar has to use their brain to do so, while ntec/OCA players can just hold down LMB to win for the most part.

So you want a weapon (that you admit is difficult to use at close range,) to be nerfed because it performs exceptionally well at medium/close range? Have you forgotten about the ntec? Anyone can use the damn thing, it's easy as hell. You really want the oscar to be nerfed/changed before the ntec does? That doesn't really make sense.

APB's poor matchmaking system is not really the players fault. However, If players feel they're losing because they believe someone like you is holding them back from winning, not much can stop them from being vocal about it, whether it be positive or negative. When it comes to griefing/tking, I don't really know how else you could penalize players further than the current demerit system we have now. Also, I wouldn't count on the whole "I'm a support player" thing. If I was 85'd and you ran up to me and medsprayed, I'd probably be annoyed too, especially in a clotting agent meta where medspray doesn't do anything. Most people run field supplier or ammo boxes, you really don't have to worry about your teammates ammo/nade supply. If you're dying in team fights on a 3v3 mission, and you're focusing on "support" while lacking heavily in kills and actually doing objectives, your other 2 teammates would constantly be outnumbered, and will more than likely lose every fight. If you aren't good at shooting in a somewhat team-based shooter, you should expect other players to become frustrated with you, especially when you focus on unimportant things like resupplying and healing your teammates when they are 100% capable of doing it themselves.

Why are people acting as if LTLs are so meta, that it's absolutely necessary to give crims the same weapons or an LTL equivalent? They've been made hard to use on purpose, they suck compared to most guns (except the SBSR and Oblivion, because those guns are trash) and they force you to play one faction. I feel like most people who ask for crim LTL have never even played an enforcer before... LTL isn't that amazing, and honestly, you're lucky to be playing on a faction where you don't have new players using the NL9 as if its a buckshot LTL shotgun, on silver servers. Just make an enforcer.

The worst thing you could do to APB is limit players customization by forcing stats on clothing items and making them "meta" in some sort of way, which will make the games customization look dry since everyone would be using the same clothing items, and I'm sure it's easy to see why this would be unfair for the people who sit in social and dedicate most of their time to designing. Removing self-healing and making people use consumables to restore health will just change the games pace entirely, and I don't know if there's any point in doing this, since many people are fine with the way the game is.
