    Tbh. taking machine learned on such small pop (350 players overall at all times?) and many of said players are extremely dubious (y'know what I mean) - I wouldn't be suprised AI could as well take bad examples and use them as good ones. I know AI is easily misguided personally by usage of different AI systems for various tasks. It focus on thing or two and then lose track of others.

    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).

    So another micro patch, that change literally nothing.
    Exactly what we needed, thanks.
    I hope that this 100 players online is an exact value they wanted to see, otherwise i see no reasone why do they keep making all of this pointles changes, instead of actually shift the meta to make the game more balanced and friendly to new players.

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    I sincerely don't understand why it took you so long to nerf the OBIR's damage, when it has been a talking point for quite some time amongst lesser skilled players?
    Neither do I understand the reason for nerfing the M1922's and Coroner's range, when the whisper has a 50m range?
    You're adjusting the wrong statistics.
    Do any of the "testers" and main game designer (who is considered a "veteran player") play this game at all?
    All of these weapon changes you've done for the past few months could've be done in a single patch, I don't understand the reason to be splitting them up into pieces every 2 weeks.
    The experience is present, but apparently the foresight as to what to do isn't?
     

    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.

  6. 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.

    Dev Note: These changes intend to move the Harbinger out of its currently awkward spot between the Act-44 and RSA by reducing its range and doubling down on its fast firing close range capabilities making it much more efficient in close range whilst allowing it to be a decent mid range choice up to 50 meters.

    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.

    Frosi is the current game designer for APB, voice your opinion on discord. (don't get your hopes up, he's the one who pushed the mobile cover nerf and greenlit LRR to the game...)
    Ever since the arrival of discord, forums have gotten a hard pushback into irrelevancy...

    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.
