    It's a hot take but I have to agree here. The downsides to Clotting Agent are minuscule compared to the benefits. People claim it isn't unbalanced but the vast majority of high ranked players use it. Just go in any silver or fight club district and say "Clotting Agent is broken" and check to see who tells you it isn't. Like clockwork, 90% of them are using it. People will shit on you for saying it but it's just because they don't want their crutch taken away.

     

    To anyone who disagrees:

    If it's not broken then why is it so overused? Surely if it were balanced then we'd see a lot more people choosing not to use it so they don't have to deal with the drawbacks of it.

    It's overused because the other green mods are absolute garbage, with flack jacket being an exception as it can sometimes be good. Clotting Agent is fine on its own, just buff/rework the other mods.

    Hey Team,

     

    if possible, could you make another statement on what exactly happened with EAC? I've seen from different angles of the community that many people interpreted the message in different ways, which just leaves a lot of confusion.

     

    If legally possible, I think an elaboration of what exactly happened would be appreciated by many people.

     

    Kind Regards

    only ban what really is too unbalanced

    Good luck. Some things are almost objectively too good, but people disagree. You can take a stand (like we did long ago) and decide what to ban after thorough discussion with different people, but we had a decent amount of people boycotting because of some rules they didn't like. If you don't take a stand and let the community decide you'll be changing rules forever.

     

    I don't wanna discourage you, but this isn't gonna be easy. Perhaps with a decent prize pool you'll have people play by your rules.

    Speaking from experience:

     

    The problem with tournaments in APB is that the community is very split on the rules. Currently there are some decidacted premade groups that have very strict and imo good rules. For example the PMG just isn't allowed at all and weapon classes are limited. Some of the OP mods like spotter aren't allowed either.

     

    It's going to be an absolute nightmare to make rules that both sides of the community will adhere by. That is basically the reason a huge tournament me and Kemp had planned some years ago, simply never happened.

    That third bullet point is really the only thing necessary.

     

    Spotter duration and cooldown modifications are uncalled for IMO.

    No. All of this is justified and preferably it should be removed as a mod entirely. There is not much "counterplay" to Spotter even with the third change. You can hide in cover and will still get nade spammed or flanked from two angles.

     

    Not to mention that 3x15= 45 which means stacking three of those things and using it properly means you could have 100% uptime (which I've seen a lot of times). That's assuming you have no downtime inbetween fights, more often than not atleast two of the three are recharged by the next fight. It's horrible and it being nerfed is the absolute minimum.

     

    Spotter also has no downsides, even after this patch, There are a lot of sources for ammo and the only pseudo-downside would be that you can't use a blowtorch which is another busted mod.

    While I commend your persistence, do you actually believe LO is going to remove it if you just ask enough? They won't even make the simplest of balance changes the entire community has been requesting since they took the reigns (which are simple numbers changes, not outright data removal)...

    I don't believe anything. This is the path I've chosen and I will keep going until I have a reason to stop or am stopped.

    Well I finally managed to get to a district select screen but now I got the dreaded infinite loading screen. @MattScott at this point wouldnt it be best to delay the beta a week so you guys can work out all these bugs? This is completely unplayable and weve wasted an hr just trying to login. All the bugs of the old engine rearing their heads at once.

    Delaying it would be a death blow.
