    The Atac feels very cheap to use. With a damage drop off of 50 meters, it breaks the balance of close ranged weapons because of how accurate, easy to control, and fast it is. With all of those things combined alongside a mobility sling perk (which is something that already comes with 2 pre-modded Atacs), the Atac as an assault rifle, does the job of a sub-machinegun better than a sub-machinegun would, because they don't sacrifice medium range fighting capability for short range accuracy and mobility (by a significant margin at least). Not to mention just how accurate it is compared to other smgs as well. 

    I honestly think it needs a bit of nerf on the movement accuracy side so that sub-machineguns would at least have better movement accuracy to compensate for the lack of damage they do down range. As you can tell, my opinion of the weapon is quite negative even though I frequently use it but I would like to know the opinion of others for this matter as well, see if there's anything that I got wrong. So what do you think? Is the Atac a yay or nay?

     

    I used to use the ATAC, a lot. later than sooner i realized its useless in actual fights against really strong players.

     

    weapons have strength and ease of use. strength is how strong a weapon is, ease of use is how easy is to "draw" that strength from the weapon. ATAC is a low strength high ease of use gun. another good example is the joker carbine, a very high strength, very low ease of use weapon.

     

    lets go back to the ATAC:

     

    on short ranges it will lose to a good OCA/PMG user.

     

    on medium ranges it will lose to a good NTEC/STAR/FAR user.

     

    on top of that, its 8 (8!) (irc) shot to kill makes it pretty sub-par on medium ranges.

     

    ofc, its high ease of use will melt all newbie players, you need to be of a certain skill range to be able to win against the ATAC by drawing the real strength of the other weapons.

     

    in short, on high tier gameplay, the ATAC is subpar, but fine considering how easy is to use. fun gun, wouldnt use in any important match.

    How about we don't nerf it and just tweak it a bit??? Like a nerf to its actual range or even a slight TTK increase; you don't gotta gut a weapon to balance it and buff some other lesser weapons while we're at it.

    I bet if the ATAC did get nerfed, the next weapon would be the Raptors.

     

    thank you

    seems way too versatile for a weapon that is so easy to use, i don't mind that it's noob friendly, but it's just that this weapon allows anyone to do good without any effort, i honestly think slightly more bloom is all atac needs, so people that just hold down LMB can't just laser kill you at 50m

    i can support that motion.

    The Atac is OP to starting players who are still not very experienced with other more advanced weapons. By learning to control your fire, and knowing what weapons to use depending on the current situation, you will soon realize that the ATAC is not really as good as it seamed compared to other weapons in the game.

     

    Coming from someone who has 3 of them thrown somewhere in the locker after impulse buying them when everyone kept killing me years ago.

    thank you.

    also, i feel ya,  some-years-ago me was like "watchman! so tacticool! buy!", i even learned how to use it and all.

    and then i threw it away because i wanted to win hard matches.

    There are only 3 guns in the game that need a nerf.  The ATAC needs a higher STK or a lower fire rate.  The PMG needs to not be able to kill people from across the street without missing a single shot.  And the NHVR.  Idk why a 100m game has a sniper in it in the first place and idk why the gun needs to do that much damage.  I think guns like the scout and DMR are significantly better balanced that the standard NHVR.

    DMR: a 100mts gun for a 100m game

    FBW is one of the best secondarys in the game bro.

     

    for sure, FBW is the best, but i guess the whole point of OP is to make it friendly for really new people.

     

    you know, the kind of people that will jam the FBW by spamming the click and then wondering why their FBW shoots slower than other people's FBWs

    whenever I see a green/bronze/silver I recommend them to go bronze district and they get mad instantly. They are really toxic. All trainees/green/bronze/silvers should go to bronze district automatically..

     

    imma be curious. in wich server do you play?

     

    normally in jericho, i'd say i get 1 or 2 silver mad at me for every 15 to 20 misguided newbies i sent into their correct district.

    How about the people who legit can't keep gold but in bronze aren't silver, this players are called  "fake golds" in gold and in bronze they are seen as bullies.

     

    The whole system needs a rework ><

    the "uncanny valley" of APB. a pretty frustrating situation to be in.

    Any player with more than 100hrs-200hrs should NOT be in the Bronze district. High rank Silvers are more toxic to new players than Gold's are to Silvers. Stomping new players to a game is what stops the game from growing. Refusing to get play versus better players stops players from improving.

     

    (When I say Silvers I mean the ones who play in Bronze their absolute hardest and then come to Silver districts and just 'play for fun'.)

     

    The matchmaking in this game is poor, but it's amplified due to the low population we have. At least before if a player kept getting the same opposition they could just change district, no not so much. (I mean 100% not on NA, and EU is lucky to have 2 Silver financial's and a Silver WF.)

    i have to disagree. i've met people with 300+ hours in-game that definitely belong to the bronze district, they would even get their asses handed to them more often than not.

    Yeah happened to me as well. I am not trying to be rude to them, i just think they would have a better time in bronze

     

    check my first quote's answer. just being curious here.

    Imagine being unable to moderate for yourself to improve your own playing experience when handed out the necessary tools like /ignore.

     

    i agree on auto-moderating chat toxicity. dethreating remains as a problem.

    I love the people bashing new players in this thread. No wonder this game died and we are stuck only with the sweatlords (hence while I try to avoid Missions altogether and just play FC - but its NA so we can't have nice things)

     

    All they had to was add a fucking tutorial district that you can't leave till you reach R75, so you could play with other beginners. If you reach gold you can't get back in after the next login.

     

    Would allow rookies to play the game at their own pace. They are thrown into the wolves and everyone expects them to learn everything quickly while they are fighting players who have been here for years!

     

    But that makes too much sense! As if coding any BASIC FUNCTIONS into this game is like giving alien technology to kindergartners and leaving them to figure it out.

     

    IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO FIX PROBLEM! YET IT HASN'T BEEN SOLVED FOR YEARS! HOW HARD IT IS TO REMOVE SOME COLOURED CIRCLES NEXT TO THE DISTRICT NAMES!?!

     

    But hey guys don't worry RIOT will fix everything. 

    disagree. i doubt there are enough newbies to run a PVP tutorial district.

    note: i play in jericho, probably citadel has enough population, but that would still be problematic for jericho.

    The problem with that is the overall toxicity is unattractive for new players, just because you ignore them doesn't mean everyone does and it still poses a problem for the new people wanting to test out the game. This isn't to say we have to ban them for toxicity, that'd be too much of an overreaction. However a chat timeout would be a good countermeasure to detected toxicity.

    i have to side with the other guy - "just because you mute the guy wont make the toxic behaviour dissapear" (griefing, dethreating, etc...), and as much as you like to fight harder opposition, most players dont like to get stomped without any chance of winning, wich will scare away most new players.

    this thread is just bait for some stupid argument to happen 

     

    idk if i would go as far as to say "bait", but at least a ticking bomb (dang it bear, good timing to show up! - ei, i dont control my irregular hibernation periods ok?)

    This is true. Being an international community as well, the line between the two can be pretty blurred as common insults in one place could be a deathly insult in another.

      

    and deadly insults in one place can be no problems in others

    An old post of a veteran (Sho.) explained it very well.

    The game has been a bit vandalized (G. Co.)

    And is hard restore the damage (OOB,N-bug,Threat Locking,Teamkick) 

    Also with all effort possible (ty LO ❤️ ) it still appears ruined.

     

    Solution: Clean and Fresh Air first. Add something funny after restore the good old APB.

     

    1st thing to do : This:

    You can /ignore tho.

    Btw. I prefer consequences of free speech, than policing anything.

    I see it too much in games lately and honestly i'm not happy from results.

    ditto, i just hope rainbow six siege doesnt repeat.

    ubisoft:"lets reduce toxicity with this automated system that bans you as soon as you say a -bad- word!" 

    trolls: "now, how can i make innocent players say the -bad- word?"

    community:-system alert: toxicity levels rising-

     

    On 5/20/2019 at 10:18 PM, Recon_Puppy said:

    Thats because generally games aren't handling it properly. The /ignore only goes so far and the ignore list is only so big, it'd be much easier to properly set something up to deal with it. Even if it means changing the toxic statements into something funny/witty. 

     

    does that makes anybody happy? like, yeah, it shows "you're a fucking ******" or "you're a fucking good person!"(whenever people is not finding ways to trespass the system), but deep down you know what the real messenge was.

     

    anyways, if it does makes anybody happy, as long as i can disable it, im fine with a system like that.

    This is a rough translation when the text is run through Ydiss translator:

     

    "There is no hope for this game. Will RIOT save it? No? But I am pleased because it means I don't have to keep playing just to be gold threat cannon fodder. I will never play again whilst you [gold players] are playing, you hold no power over me. You are all cheaters and liars. You may claim you are not but even if you do admit it, it'll be just the same as the past several years [no change]. That is if the game even lasts as long as it'll take for you to admit it. 

     

    The only reason I'm still here is to enjoy your suffering. I wonder why you stay when you suffer so much. But suffering is a good teacher. I have never suffered without learning something from it. 

     

    But go figure. When the suffering is about something as common as playing a game, you neither gain nor lose anything for that matter."

     

     

    well, a "rough translator" is better than google translator ^^ thanks for your service, i tried to understand what he said and the messenge was completely diferent.

     

    still, why is the guy that is supposed to "see us suffer", seems to be the one suffering the most?

    i have all of the weapons i mentioned in that post and i actually use them pretty regularly especially the VBR and SR15 and its much easier to aim with them wile using a macro because you dont need to click constantly and that can mess with your aim a bit might depend on what mouse you have aswell. But its way easier holding down a button and tracking someone than it it to track someone and click at the same time 

     

    i never questioned that. i just said those guns have bloom, the sight does opens up quite a bit if you max rof them.

    literally nobody macros in this game

     

    why the fuck would you LOL

     

    holy shit please think this through

     

    "im going to max rof my semi auto weaponry so that way i can't kill anyone past 10m when the bloom peaks"

     

    because some people doesnt want to go though the hassle of developing musle memory to shoot any semi auto without it jamming. no need to set the macro at max-rof.

     

    now, im not saying that this game has a problem with cheaters or that people is macroing worst than the anime community during the 80's (get it? because of macross?... the anime?...i dont even know why i try), im just giving a reason why you would macro.

     

    that said....

    13 hours ago, Croslie said:

    I hope you are sacastic but if not. you know a max firerate FBW, 45AP, FROG , SR15 Carbine, Obeya CR.762 basically dont bloom at all and a full auto VBR is till great because you dont need to fire full auto all the time only in CQC

    im not good with semi autos, in my hands those things jamms worst than a zip .22

     

    yet even i can shoot them fast enough to make them bloom.

     

    i recommend you to buy and test it yourself. remember, if you just click as fast as you can, the gun will jamm and you wont see any bloom, because you're pretty far from max ROF

    I always wondered how long it would take for the community to begin turning on LO. I remember posting about it way back when LO first acquired the game. 

     

    Around the 6 month mark is when it began to become more noticeable and more lately it has become a far more vocal opinion. Guess I was right yet again. I shall now say 'I told you so' so that I may feel better about myself.

     

    I TOLD YOU SO

    emmm... idk, the community as a whole still seems quite supportive of LO tho, its just one or two straggler here and there.

    The Opposite Polar Bear Report (TOP-BR (no im not brazilian)):

     

    the HTML code shows no easter egg that i could find (im kinda sleepy atm tho)

     

    the subscribe newsletter thing actually does something (i tried to subscribe twice and it actually showed an error messenge)

     

    i think we should focus on this part:

     

    -"RedHill acquires 3 local companies after successful funding round."

     

    does that means 3 companies are under RedHill's banner now? somatic... patriot... aaaand.... seiyo? idk, put your bets.

     

    i'll post if i recibe any kind of email from this.

    I'm not sure if this is either currently built in the game, or the servers are kicking me out if I reach certain latency. Let me make this clear, I live in argentina, which is in south america, and since the server merges we lost our server in brazil which means we have to deal with playing in NA. This was never an issue though, we got used to playing in the 140-260ms range, it worked out well, although for a few months now me and my teammates that are also from this region started to experiment constant DC's, wether that'd be while sitting in social or in a mission, it's not just once every few minutes, it's constant disconnections 2 to 10 minutes into the game. It came to the point where we can't play the game anymore because we can't finish a single mission.

     

    Either the game is kicking out players for latency spikes, or the server just gave up on players outside the US. sucks after playing for 6 years 😞

    1) does you and your friends lives in the same city?

    2) does that city happends to be in buenos aires, cordoba o santa fe?

    3) is your ISP fibertel or arnet? (im REALLY hoping its not speedy)
