APB chat and naive decals with feminine features won't make any difference for those 13yo "kids" who have already seen all the hardcore porn in the internet.

Game freeze and stutter if you re-log on multiple toons (or accounts). I just restart it after each toon. Also connection troubles sometimes look like hardware lag.

You can / should do the same as me: don't play till removal of the "feature" and better matchmaking. There are much more fun shooters available.

Re-log from different account (and/or different characters maybe) without game restart and you'll get degraded performance no matter of system spec.

By this logic a gun will have 105% time reduction for 15 shots ttk i.e. it'll kill instantly or even before you start shooting. Actually 7% means (or at least it should) you'll get 15 shots by the time you usually get 14 so for non-rapid firing guns it just doesn't make any sense (yet people slap it into slow firing rifles).

While we are at it - why do people recommend cj3 that often? It's just 7% increase and seemingly doesn't make a lot of difference (1sec vs 0.93sec). I fail to see any difference - especially considering current matchmaking where my weapons/mods/etc. don't matter at all when I'm being matched vs max level golds in every other game.

At first I was excited about current sale. But suddenly got a realization: 1) guns are still expensive af ($80 for 5 relatively "cheap" guns I want - approximately 3 times more expensive than in Planetside 2 for example) 2) current sale isn't the best offer during this year i.e. there will be better discounts; 3) right now it's unwise to buy anything considering upcoming re-balance and 4) most likely there will be another sale after re-balance. So buying guns right now is a guaranteed disappointment soon (c)

Thanks for the information! I've always assumed semi-autos are counter-sniper weapons with at least 60m range - so what's the role of Oscar with it's 40m range? A replacement of an assault rifle for people who are really good with tapping LMB or use perfect mouse-wheel fire?

Thanks much! OCA Whisper PR2 I assume? Since it has more range.

What's current best sniper (non-mobile), SMG, auto secondary, non-auto shotgun, semi-auto rifle, assault rifle, LMG in ARMAS?

Nice one, thanks much! Little Orbit is now officially cool. Although the combination of sale and follow-up price reduction for both weapons and G1C is rather confusing.

OP is absolutely correct because 1) there weren't any warning about an upcoming sale - at least not about sale in the first decade of July, this is complete (and pleasant) surprise; 2) in many other games including Warframe, STO, Neverwinter (and probably BDO too iirc) devs partially refund - or credit accounts for - purchases made 1 week prior to an unannounced sale.

1 hour later, cannot login. I bet it's because BattleEye actually works and some players just cannot accept reality where they sucks badly w/o cheats.

It would be better to hide player threat and level indicators instead - including social districts. Just remove everyone's indicator and let the server continue to arrange parties based on present threat ranking system.

Actually that's my 20 years MMO experience talking. Of course after a year of G1's absence any communication from LO look like a heavenly gift to new-ish MMO players but in reality the lack of coupons and sales also look like LO see current player base as indefinitely patient free beta testers for upcoming APB Royale Mobile (or whatever they think will bring them actually interesting big player base worth caring for).

Instant implementation of BattleEye was cool but from my past experience with G1 I've expected to see some cookies codes and serious sales.

Maybe premium and couple car kits. I'm not a fan of paid weapons (and vehicles) in games - unless it's cheap at Warframe level ($1 per gun), then I'll buy everything.

But what about scammers? People scam and trade scammed guns on Citadel almost openly, some even don't change characters and one said he got ~40 guns this way. Besides ruining trading and overall gameplay experience (why even bother with progression if one may scam anything they want?) these simply remove paying customers from the game: some people quit after being scammed.

I want events, sales, codes - which were coded into APB years ago but won't be triggered till some arbitrary date of engine update (which took G1 4+ years and still wasn't implemented). This is just boring compared to multiple summer events and sales in other games I play.

So if I understood it correctly: 1) there is no set date for UE 3.5 upgrade - which can take from months to eternity (G1 couldn't finish it during 4 years); 2) there will be no ARMAS sales, coupons/codes, in-game events till UE3.5 upgrade i.e. for many months. Correct?

They said (approx) "half-way through first project" i.e. 6 weeks since G1 acquisition in May = 50% of work done. So 6 more weeks to get 100% completion = August for trading and weapon re-balance.

Can't wait for the engine upgrade in 2015! Or was it Q1 2014?...

No codes, no ARMAS sales, no in-game events until engine upgrade (it's promised to happen in 2014/15 btw).

I'd b happy with roadmap to roadmap. There is only a single blog post during last 30 days (June, 7).

Six weeks since acquisition, as a developer I'd be fired if I couldn't provide work schedule in two weeks after getting new position. How about them roadmap updates? And how the heck do I post a meme? https://imgflip.com/i/2cnc1r
