    I don't think weapon balance should be placed on back.

     

    However, the way they're doing balanced based on 'X weapon has not been seen a lot' is the wrong way to balance things.

     

    That's like balancing champions in league of legends based on people using them.

     

    Instead of looking at the less used weapons, they need to look at the most used weapons and balance around that.

     

    Otherwise they're just going to end up buffing certain weapons (like the carbine) and then have a bunch of angry people when the git guds are running around laser beaming carbine shots like its 2015 and people crying about cheats and macros.

    I mean, pickrate/banrate in league is what drives champ balance... so I dont think buffing underutilized weapons is necessarily wrong, and also, I dont think this is what LO is doing at all.

     

    the weapons they've been changing are pretty commonly used weapons... ntec, ursus, obir, JG, PMG, etc.

     

    I cant imagine them buffing the carbine even more, the reserve ammo buff was needed for sure. seems like a lot of the changes so far have been fine, especially ever since that IR3 change.

     

    dont really like this blanket equip time nerf thing they're doing to all guns though, sorta just nerfs weapons with 3ps3 presets, and a lot of 3ps3 presets lack red mods, so the red mod presets are just gonna be better.

    think weapon balance should be put on the backburner guys! rather you spend more time balancing/redesigning waterfront, and maybe rebalance some awful missions (mah-jong money, repo racers, etc) because they make me wanna plant my fist foot and head thru my monitors and my wall!

     

    and ik it would be "ideal" for the engine upgrade to be pushed out before this, but i feel like another 3 or 4 month setback wouldnt hurt in the name of keeping ur players sane!

    It was always better and it got the same nerf to its equip time as the 3ps3 one so the 3ps3 one will still have the upper hand in equip time, nothing has changed in that regard.

    .45/scout quickswitch with 3ps3 killed way faster than CJ3, now it's nerfed. just takes away versatility from the weapon, and makes mods that are already powerful, more powerful.

     

    damage buff wouldn't be necessary if clotting 3 didnt exist, equip time nerf seems very questionable for the scout.

    As topic, list the most toxic behavior you have seen in apb 😛

    boring answer but dethreating was so common at one point, playing solo was a waste of time (more than usual)

     

    you could have back to back to back missions with the same 2 or 3 people dethreating, and they'll spend the next 5/10/15/20 mins tking you, griefing you, afking, or just throwing themselves into the enemy.

    You don't win nothing anyway being the first, so why would you be interested in knowing that?

    Kinda useless.

     

    Useless like those who say APB is competitive and play 3v3 in an empty gold action-district.

     

    Strange but i expect many dislikes, keep those coming haters and ch*lds. 😘

     

    P.S I tell you a secret

     

      Reveal hidden contents

     

    APB never been competitive

    to cope with how bad u are at the game, ure trying to push the narrative that an inherently competitive TPS isn't competitive, just because you say so

    I'm not perfect but I would say 80% of the time if some one isn't as good as me (and depending on the skill gap) I will either nerf my self, or find other ways to go easy on someone. Yet, I can't help but feel i'm the only one?

    So many times I have gotten into games where the roles have flipped and someone else is soooo much better than I. But do they reaaaalllllly have to use every move in the book on me?

    This is part of the reason people dethreat. Then you see dethreaters using what they see in their silver vs gold match to go against the bronzes.

    It's just really annoying. I would never ask someone to go easy on me but jesus you don't need to strafe at 10000mph with your JC when it's clear I can't hit you even if you crouch.

    Sigh  matchmaking's a fuzzy bunny

    why do some of you find joy in using advanced techniques on new players? 

    pick on someone your own size

    play the video game how you want to play it. if u find stomping on noobs with cringe guns like the HVR boring, then dont use cringe guns against them, but dont expect people who may be better than you to treat you with the same respect... and if they dont, use some other cringe gun and beat them. will the match overall be boring as fuck because you're both using cringe guns that make the game boring? yeah, but if you hate losing so much to cringe tactics and cringe weapons, you have to play cringe yourself.

     

    you arent entitled to a win because you play less-lame then someone else. if i have vip on waterfront gresty's roof with 2 hvrs, a volcano & an ursus, im gonna win by default. why? because the map sucks and its almost impossible to push me without volcano spamming or nade spamming from birth roof, gg.

    Hi i was wondering how people are able to make themes that last longer than 5 seconds? its absolutely amazing and i wouldn't have to scrap many of my themes that i finish because of it not being recognizable or having to alter the tempo to make up for the lack of time.

    there are tutorial vids for it on YT afaik, bug is cringe cus it created a boring theme producing meta where the first 5 seconds sound like garbage or boring asf because it's meant to lead up into a big long theme that u can only hear if u inspect someone

     

    hope it gets patched or just added in as a feature.

    As i said before, those 20 whales of your's already probably own everything on Armas like myself, as i didn't waste a $ since 2017 and am not going to, because since than there wasn't really any new content beside only a few weapon reskins and maybe 4 new legendaries which all su*k btw, and that's about it.

    At this point i don't even know how they are profiting from the game, they give away premium for a couple of months now which people otherwise would've bought anyway but hey i am not complaining thanks for that Little orbit even thought it critically hurt their income, maybe a few people will get 30k Joker tickets to buy the crown but that's about it, the ''legendary update'' caused a bit of a mess, confusion and dissmotivatation judging from the questions people ask in social about it.

    not really sure how much money they've lost from the premium thing... I would assume it's made them more money if anything. I dont even bother playing the game if I don't have premium, so if I know I can come back to the game and have all the benefits for free, I'm way more likely to play it, and if I'm playing more, I'm probably gonna end up spending more on dumb shit. also I think it's safe to say that giving people premium for free just for the ARMAS discounts would be a pretty good move on their part, so the player would be saving money WITH the free premium, and also saves money by not having to pay for it.

     

    we aren't able to actually see how much they're making from ARMAS, but I would think selling JT would be more profitable than selling JMBs. They are selling a currency that can be used to purchase a weapon that has a chance to be permanent, just like a JMB, while also being able to purchase items that weren't purchasable with IRL $, which is sorta like opening a content floodgate for people who would rather pay for unlocks and not grind for them, while also making the grind less shit for players who don't want to spend IRL $ on those items, meaning people will play more and pay more. I feel like the legendary update alone will keep some of the whales busy until engine upgrade launches, then we can play the game on the new engine and get real updates for once.

    There are exactly zero players spending that amount.

    How much do you think ARMAS has to sell?

    idk how much they would have to sell to make the game worth maintaining and updating, but id find it hard to believe if they arent making more than $4k/week minimum off of armas.

    The problem is that since it is no longer the hybrid sniper that it used to be, it now sits in a position of inferiority. It was decent at both, but if you went with a pure hard damage or health damage weapon it would get outclassed. It cant compete with any AV weapon now, and as an anti infantry weapon it is outclassed by the obeya, ursus and HVR. All of this results in the weapon being lowered on the tier list and forcing people to drop it entirely for a more competitive weapon.

    yeah, you're right. now you have a weapon with a high ttk, when it doesn't really have a reason to have such a high ttk with it's utility pretty much nerfed to the ground. i dont think the ttk should be lowered, I just think the hard damage should be buffed a little bit more. make it worse than the alig & dmr, but shouldnt take 3 or more mags to destroy a steel plate 3 pio

    Little-Orbit™, what will you do now when we will hit this new all time low population, when there will not be any active silver financial/waterfront districts to play at even peak population times.
    This is the effect of some actions, it might be the change from EAC to the horribly failed Battle-Eye, it might be the frustration of the people who couldn't log-into the ''Engine Upgrade'' stress test server.

    This game is closer then ever to dying, not even the ''Engine Upgrade'' will ''save'' it, the simple facts that the game is decaying as it is getting older, the only thing that keeps this game from stepping with its second leg into its already digged grave is its uniqueness in customization.

    Litte-Orbit™ has to swipe an ACE card from their sleeves to keep this close to our hearts game alive, whatever it might be its up to their respectable decision.

    answer: world servers

     

    citadels pop wont drop below 100 players for a very long time, and until it does, don't waste your breath talking about APB & its potential population problems, because as long as there's 10 or 20 whales still around to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on dumb shit every week, there's a playerbase to develop for.

    Did someone sane here noticed that most of the recent threads here are only complaints ?
    We should all be grateful for the progress Little Orbit™ did in 2 years that the old G1 couldn't do in 8 years
    Take a look at the latest update, the ''mission impossible'', it has changed core game mechanics which were never touched before for some reason and personally made me wanna play missions again
    We actually had progress on the notoriously mythical ''Engine Upgrade'' and we had 2 open betas already which helped them stress test even if you wasn't able to login
    Oh and lets not forget the free premium during the COVID-19 era which we are still in (not for long hopefully).


    So calm down your bosoms and respect the progress.
    (now balance the goddamn PMG)

    why attack the idea of criticism amidst progress when that isn't the issue? the issue is the same dozen players accusing half the playerbase of cheating, and accusing LO of "not giving a fuck" when they don't address their delusional concerns.

    weird poll, idk anyone who'd want more rng in apb when only a few guns can actually screw you over with "bad rng." also just depends on what you consider bad rng... like a shit bloom pattern while you're spraying a rifle? or just missing PMG shots when your crosshair is literally RIGHT on them? 

     

    also idk why LO would bother with making out-of-mission vehicles transparent when they plan on making missions instanced in the future anyway.

    Imagine being unable to counterplay a silver or bronze who's using an hvr 🤣

    who said anything about being unable to counterplay a silver or a bronze who's using an hvr? im only saying that the HVR is so braindead and OP, that it makes threat level almost completely irrelevant, because as long as you hit the shot, you're contributing to your team more than the avg low-gold does with a non-hvr weapon by taking away nearly all the enemy's health in a single shot.

     

    if a bronze hits you with an hvr, you're 85'd. if a silver hits you with an hvr, you're 85'd. if a gold hits you with an hvr, you're 85'd. hitting the single shot isnt difficult at all, and it allows your teammates to finish the tagged enemy off in a disgustingly low amount of time.

     

    but hey, ill flatout admit that when it comes to playing against premades who are defending with an HVR/ntec comp, in 90% of waterfront, there is almost no counterplay at all... financials high ground isn't nearly as punishing, until you have to attack german fortress on vip/capture, which you shouldn't even bother playing lmfao.

    HVR shouldnt be in the game. any type of "skill gap" can be closed by this weapon, and I'm not even joking, a silver with an HVR is more useful than a typical gold who doesn't use an HVR... so it just breaks matchmaking if you're outnumbered, and considering how often you end up in 2v3s, 3v4s, and 4v5s, this can get pretty frustrating.

     

    or the ursus, which is pretty much a better ntec in every way, outclasses nearly every weapon in the game, and isn't that hard to use.

    what if all the guns went back to the stats they had before little orbit took over, sure some guns are more balanced now but man its so fk boring.. ntec is boring now, hvr is boring now, csg is boring now and the list goes on..

     

    pls little orbit 🙂

     

     

    that would mean making the HVR more OP than it already is, re-breaking the yukon, low-yield hell, shotguns being more powerful than they need to be in an inherently defender-sided game, and making pretty much all other weapons not worth using, because the ntec/hvr/oca would be the only weapons worth using.

     

    with the ursus being as powerful as it currently is, you could just have it glued to your hands and do well in virtually every scenario... so if you like braindead weapons that probably shouldn't be in the game in their current state, consider the ursus.
