Exactly this. I am afraid APB is now being used by the Devs to jump on the latest trends rather than making the best of what APB can be first (if at all).

Yep, another patch that clearly exists to stall for more time. Their mistake however is that they made Low-Yield Grenades ultra-easy mode. Out of all grenades, they decide to touch Low-Yields. Low-Yield Fragmentation Grenade Max damage radius increased from 2 meters to 3.5 meters. 3.5 meters for max damage, HAH!! They basically guarantee the entire output of Low-Yields in even the most average hands. I hope the 'Dev' would cease experimenting on Live-Servers with what they clearly do not understand.

Good question... very good question.. This is a byproduct of not just the Devs having a thing for CA3 but also for Consumables. MedSpray and Epinephrine are COMICALLY too strong, which stands as a barrier in allowing proper balance between all green mods. So... instead of weakening Consumables..... heh.. they in-fact made Med Spray heal TWICE as fast in a lazy-attempt (as usual) to FULLY... proceed with having CA3 as 'standard' and throw other green mods in the gutter. Little did Little Orbit knew, this backfired and other green mods became epic with Med Spray. I'm glad we got that nonsense reverted. You'd think by now, after trial and error, what they should do (or should've done by now) is crystal clear. And yes, they are not doing anything at all. The Dev wants APB to become CA3 + OCA 'Whisper' and nothing else. 'Screw assault rifles (mainly n-tec), screw proper movement rather than car-gameplay (they just rebuffed the HP of Espacio and Pioneer), screw Snipers (HVR is still stupid, DMR got some nerfs), screw everything to the point where.... even LTL got nerfed on the same patch that buffed OCA, LOL you can't make this up'. This was proven many times through back&forth buffs and nerfs, and then they hide their true motives/downsides without reversion (e.g HVR damage-crosshair-size, etc). Let's see what happens if anything happens but expect nothing at this point.

You are the first person ever to give me 2 EMPTY notifications. So .. NO U. "What do YOU want?"

2 steps forward, 1 giant dinosaur step back. The step back being the health rebuff for Pioneer and Espacio, stemming from LO insisting to preserve the abomination that is High Burn Fuel. Moreover, LO made it quite clear that their golden concern regarding vehicular-damage is the DMR-AV. With that, they should know by now that 1500HP is no different from 1600HP as both demand 1 additional shot, both with and without HBF. There is no 'effectiveness to monitor' here. Is it the end of the world? No, but you should know the result already before shipping it. This isn't complicated.

Are you saying that Cheaters still didn't rack up enough "Cheat Points" to get matched with each other? Heh.

Now I know who's hiring at Tasty Burger... @EC2Jonathan Maybe that's your kinda thing, eh?

Absolutely right. Problem is Whisper is an LO-favourite.

You have asked the important questions. Too bad it was openly declared throughout roadmaps that the core-gameplay is literally LO's lowest priority. And no, the testers don't really test/play and half of that army have consistently shown sub-average understanding. Live-Servers are the current testing grounds for APB.

They worked on SARD for so long they didn't even give it generic-text for the Output Function. They just... had to go to bed after being up for so long. May your next iteration be more solid.

First, balance existing weapons before adding more and even then, I would be against adding weapons. If you haven't noticed already, the 'visible' playing field is only 100 meters and there are simply too many weapons in the game to be squeezed into it. Find a bearing and market something else other than weapons.

Christmas without NA_East_Districts or Global Matching with EU.. Yeah, not gonna bother with West. Ho ho ho next December.

tldr: EU is to help us debug Cross District matchmaking. NA can join next year with Cross World Matchmaking since... their population is too low for Cross District to matter.

Something like this? Nope

Another filler Episode of changes that do jack, while again being obsessed with touching N-Tec. Wait for the next Episode.

Yet again, I told them that chasing Cheaters and messing with the matchmaker would simply be a waste of time against actual game improvement. It looks like I was right after all, heh.

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.
