These changes are far more harsh to the game, lol..

Interesting, the Mod shadow-deleted my response as to why these changes are a mistake, heh. Thank you for the cofirmation.

And it seems more years are in queue to make it another decade in APB's negative history.

Yet again, buffs are a step in the right direction but these changes.... are aimless and meaningless. The meta is still quite ahead. It seems LO mistook NL9 for Corsair and even then, does LO expect players to run around for extended times playing with Corsair? Because what is the point of 1 second ttk primary in an effective range of 30 meters? Compete against the likes of JG, OCA, Carbine, OSCAR, N-TEC and Colby .45...? It is unfortunate because LO worked on the weapon's ramp more than the effective range that actually matters. And even then, at the extended ramp, the weapon will pale against CR762, N-TEC and all the juicy meta waiting to feast on Corsair. Shame. The same goes for most items in the list. What the Devs should note and do is balance weapons compared to the meta rather than... a less relevant group of weapons between themselves.. I am sorry but it seems you have no clue to what needs to be done. Disappointing, a step in the right direction but it is still disappointing. You are still too afraid to make meaningful changes, LO.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yes, the guy who shamelessly White-Knighted the OCA-buff and PIG over-nerf ON THE SAME PATCH (https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2020/9/11/weapon-balance) is now the Designer. I indeed expect nothing but let us see if he steps his game up. He proved many times that he has a long way to go.

I am still waiting on official details regarding the #BASELINE that LO will balance around.

Succ slowly for better health https://www.youtube.com/shorts/62DuzzghAH0

I've been saying this for a long time.. both of LO and Players are blaming the wrong thing. The fault is NOT from the matchmaker. The Matchmaker simply sees available Players and matches them together.. It must either consider everyone or nobody outside a given threat. There can't be a decent in-between. Messing with the matchmaker will NOT change existing Player knowledge/skill. Furthermore, reducing District Capacity from 50v50 to 40v40 will in fact make matchmaking worse. Stop pretending otherwise. Existing Servers should be upgraded with Global Matchmaking, else time is simply wasted on marginal, non-noticeable differences in matchmaking.

Is this a ♣♦♠♥ing dream..?

How? Pioneer has 1350 HP while Jericho has 1150 HP.

Not bad, not bad at all. Keep the good changes coming, one patch at a time. Thank you for finally doing what matters.

It rocks a juicy 1350 points of health. Its slowness can be negated by Nitrous 3. It rams harder than 4x4, supports up to 4 passengers and has no trunk storage problems. Nulander Pioneer is still a Pioneer. Players just got used to taking their time pressing F while letting High Burn Fuel do all the magic. High Burn Fuel should have never existed.

Nerfing Vegas will only increase the percentage of Nulander Pioneers.

Too conservative... Be more brave, LO. These weapons still don't compare to the meta.

LO appears to be going for population spikes like this every 6 months (assuming they can actually continue delivering as explained in the previous AMA). There is nothing to do at max rank other than to play for the sake of playing. With the core gameplay being given the lowest priority, many players won't even bother. The game wasn't ready to retain players from the New Horizon update but LO released the Waterfront Contacts anyway. Let's see how they'll do with THIS month's supposedly balance patch.

Agreed, it wasn't a bright decision. The common notion from those against the Bounty System is: "it destroys my mission". Pure nonsense since chances are they were going to lose the mission anyway. But it isn't new. Changes to APB were based on reaction and emotion rather than what would make the game objectively better.
