Okay, no problem. One second while I contact LO to inform them of this major issue.

It is honestly a problem of vocal minority. And the rational ones are not going to make posts because it would be a waste of time.

Won't happen for good reasons.

It really is not easy to find who is responsible for the attacks. Pretty sure it would be much better if they focused on better mitigation instead. And who is to say it is just one person? It could easily be multiple people in various locations attacking the servers.

Or just eliminate the loud vs. quiet mentality and create some polls.

I was not being sarcastic with this comment. I really appreciate LO taking their time. No need for quick and drastic changes.

I do not think more graphical processing power equates to better performance in APB. Pretty sure most games would not even support that sort of rig. Anyways, save some for the rest of us, jeez.

Nice job with this one. Can tell you really put thought into these changes.

Time to buy a Han Coywolf now.

I understand what you are saying. However, being able to counter a weapon does not mean it is balanced. And this has nothing to do with what we like or do not like. Naturally, if a gun is imbalanced and a lot of players know about it, then it will be disliked. I can tell you now, when I see an HVR on the opposing team which could pose a problem, I switch to HVR myself. I do this to level the playing field. I know that this player can do 850 damage instantly from almost viewing distance. There is no gun that can output that much damage quickly from those ranges. And if it is a particularly good player, they will know to switch positions and sit far back. For example, if I have an objective out in the open which I need to attack, either I take time to push the HVR or I use an HVR and pressure them to peek me through doing the objective. If I push them and I do not have a teammate to coordinate with, then there is a good chance they can spawn and walk a few feet to see the objective again before I get a chance to complete it. So HVR is possible to counter, but it is unlikely than anyone will be able to counter the HVR player if they have any sense. HVR is not balanced for the type of game that APB is. Also, PMG, OCA, low yields, and cars like the Pioneer and Espacio are not balanced. If we start to think like your post, nothing will ever change because everything is technically possible to counter.

Right, except there is an economy in CS where a risk is associated with buying an AWP. Also, CS is a first person game, so someone with an AWP has to peek the corner before they can see the enemy. In APB, someone can sit on a corner and abuse the 3rd person mechanics to instantly remove 850 of your health. I never understood how someone could make comparisons between APB and CS. They are totally different games with different goals and play styles.

Sometimes things get worse before they get better. We should show appreciation for MattScott taking the time to give us regular updates on the situation. I think it goes without saying that the constant shit posting is definitely not warranted.

For this reason it might be beneficial for MattScott to hold off on any announcements or hints until things are ready to roll out to OTW. It is not the idea that is the problem, it is how people are reacting to a supposed hint at potential changes. I have seen this happen with games who release trailers far too early in development and get a bad wrap when people see pre-alpha footage of a game that has potential to be great with a few years of development. Game development is a creative endeavor, not a democracy. It is clear that MattScott and the team have big plans for APB, so they are going to do what makes sense to reach those goals.

I think we need to see changes in practice, hence OTW. I am afraid people are going to convince LO to back off from certain changes which could be good for the game in the long run. I think OTW should be utilized to its fullest for this reason. Hopefully LO will see the importance of OTW and make its existence more apparent.

How can we call it a bad idea when we have not seen the idea.

There will always be a vocal minority of players who will not like new ideas. APB has been in the same state for so long, it might take time for people to see how any changes could be good for the game.

I am not buying anything from Armas until I can make my character look like Neo from The Matrix.

I think you are off-topic with those back to back posts.

Cannot wait to play as Spiderman in the new engine 3.5!

I am excited to see this level of thought going into the game. Thanks.

THE DEATH DEALER

Good stuff.

This is awesome!

It is not even an advantage.

I typically use clotting agent 3 and valzipram tablets if I have it unlocked. If I don't have 195 mods, then just clotting agent 3. No happy landings because I like to jump from certain heights without the falling animation.
