The idea is okay, however I don't see how it would be balanced and fun for both parties. Witness missions are very short, and even with a bo3/bo5. You're only really looking at 15-30 minutes of gameplay. It also sounds like the criminals have the advantage at the start of every "witness mission" considering they start with the cash in hand or item rather. Most witness missions comes down to just one fight and once that is over, the team with the cash/item usually just wins of that one fight. I personally think just going along with the normal missions in action districts is the better option for scrims as it requires a lot more teamwork and precision from a team. Obviously, you would ban certain missions that may be unbalanced or not as enjoyable as other missions. Just a tip, you could setup a discord with different kind of roles and voice channels for teams to use. This makes it easier for people to find others to team up with too. Good luck with the project.

Honestly, I rarely ever see any "shady" players in game. Just because someone might kill you over and over again, does not mean they are cheating. People have spent thousands and thousands of hours practicing to get better at this game. You'd be surprised how good some of the top players are. All I can say is that I've not felt the need to report more players since BE was reinstated. If I see something wrong and/or I disagree with patches, balance changes, etc. I will call it out no matter what. My SPCT position has nothing to do with my own opinion. Reminder: Use /report [playername] in-game. That way you're making it easier and better for everyone.

Community Events Team Our Discord will be the focus of the Community Events Team to provide fun and interactive events throughout the game. In cooperation with Little Orbit and the Twitch APB streamers (Darleenko, ExoticZ, dogfesk) we are going to provide events in-game in which you'll be able to earn different kinds of rewards! For now we are restricted to the Citadel (EU) server. Event Announcement Our first event will be a tournament hosted by us. For more information check out our Discord, we've posted the rules for the tournament as well as the application form! https://discord.gg/2T3JQhH If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in this thread or send a message to one of our admins in the Discord.

Lets go!

The first one, I would just say no. Entente is not that great. Trouble Maker - Very efficient weapon, requires a bit more precision and aim than a regular OCA Whisper. It has decent jumpshot accuracy. Can also kinda "tap" the weapon upto 25-35 meter range and get some good damage in. You use this weapon more or less like a mix of "Manic" and "ATAC". OCA Whisper PR1 - Probably one of the easiest weapons to use right now. It has barely any recoil, the spread is good on it. It's also worth to mention that this gun has a crouch modifier which makes it quite accurate while crouched. On top of all this, the gun has a 50m effective range. You could get some "long range" kills or just "tag" someone up on range. Personally I enjoy the Trouble Maker alot more.

Here we go! Remember to share any feedback you have about the beta, positive or negative feedback! See you all on the Open Beta!

Logitech G Pro (wireless) Previously I had a ROCCAT Kone XTD.

Agrotech DMR-AV, best sound there is.

They did give these out through streams. I believe these were broadcasted on LO's channel. (dont quote me on that) Not to mention, the streams were planned out on different times to try get as many people the chance to win. However they should've used the "Broadcast" message in-game to alert people about this giveaway and when it's going to be. (timezone, etc) Would be cool to see it return, I suppose. It's sort of ugly though.

I would love to see this make a comeback aswell. I agree that your movement was more of a deciding factor in fights back when sprintshooting was a thing, than what it is now. Ever since they nerfed the sprintshooting I feel like a turtle after shooting my weapon. It's clunky, its shit and not to mention it made the game slower. Go back to how it used to be!

Agreed. Small changes like this are very much appreciated by the community. For the Spotter mod, they could just disable it for now. Just like they did with the Mobile Radar Tower. (or remove it ) Agreed. I also think that the person "being spotted" should be given an alert like "You're being spotted" or something similar. Would love to see Radar Jammar actually being more used.

Corsair (Slug) into NFA9 Quickdraw even better

I mean, they did add blue muzzle flash to the nutcracker weapon skin. Would love to have one without the snow particles falling out of the gun though.

That, and reduce PMG's effective range.

Thanks for the free premium, much appreciated! Stay safe!

Okay... you dont balance weapons around what a "cheater" can/will do?? In other words, for a regular player the shotguns seem inconsistent. Afaik most people in-game have felt the same way and in different stream chats. I'd much rather have something in between "pre-LO" OCA and current OCA.

Useless? I disagree. Are they inconsistent? Yes. I dont like the current shotgun changes either. I'd much rather have the 2017 shotguns back. (pre-LO changes)

I really cant see how this is going to be competitive. It just sounds like every match is going to be the same thing and it wont involve any skill from either team. I believe the timer starts at 05:00 on mugging missions (witness missions) and normally the "attacking side" only has one "push" they can make. If they fail that one push, the other team has already dropped the flag (money) off. This one encounter usually takes like 1-2 minutes before the mission is over. It just sounds very "samey". If you want competitive matches, then it should be played through normal missions, in my opinion. Missions with last stages such as: Item hold Checkpoint hold (3 areas) Spray Hold (3 points) Scavenger (10min) TDM, VIP and Scavenger (5min) are terrible end stages for competitive play.

I suggest you write a support ticket about the issue and wait for support to investigate the issue.

It is very similar to the Joker Carbine while being fully automatic. I'm assuming thats why its not in the "Semi-Automatic Rifle" category. Like Noob_Guardian stated above, its not meant to compete against N-TECs at 50 meters. It's designed as a hybrid AR/Carbine rifle. I think the ammo count and the magazine size is fine as it is.

Usually I like to keep district chat off since its filled with nonsense most of the time. You can see more information about the Engine Upgrade on this thread. CEO Matt Scott gives a weekly update on this thread.

^I think this explains it very well. ^Agree.

The last few APB tournaments that were hosted ended up being a mess due to cheater issues or other activities. Not to mention some people being allowed not to stream/record their own gameplay. (because they were friends with the admin/host). There cant be any exceptions in a tournament, everyone have to record their POV and have a streamer on each team to make it fair. All players' POV needs to include all communication. Now on another hand, the meta in APB currently is not the greatest and some things needs adjustments. Although, this is where rules comes into play. All arranged matches in APB have rules for them to make the game more competitive and enjoyable. Overall, I find APB tournaments to be exciting to watch/play. If there would be a well organized tournament with proper rules, then that would be awesome.

Yes, please. While you're at it, make a silenced CSG too. Thanks.
