That is my line. Thinking LTL needs to be "countered" means you don't know weapon stats to begin with. Anyone who thinks LTL is overpowered instantly becomes a joke in this community. You have specifically said "people" and "mugging"... Enforcers can NOT be mugged. You were clearly speaking for Civilians. And even without these clues, you have said "crims robbing people, why can't they stun them"... Basic English says you were in fact speaking about civilians. Entertaining your idea against Enforcers, there is no merit nor functionality to support "executing enforcers" as killing enforcers with lethal weapons is ALREADY executing them...... (it is very clear who is high here). A LOT of weapons can finish the job with 1 click after a perc.. Using your own logic, we should also 'fix' jg, strife, HVR, and many other weapons in such a way they won't be able to kill after a perc... The REAL answer is if it gets fixed, it will be faster to equip and faster to reload. And fun fact for you, PIG used to be a 1-shot stunner when APB was new.. I have already said: "Lethal weapons are the counter" Using basic English, lethal weapons are the counter YOU are asking for.. the counter to LTL weapons. The crucial part is that you are not doing your English home works. Before you continue to imply that LTL is overpowered and can never be countered, use this website to educate yourself about weapons and learn how to read and compare stats: https://apbdb.com/ As you are currently, you don't even come close in knowledge to objectively discuss weapon balancing.

If you want the game to be fair for both factions, join the #BuffLTL train. Currently not possible. All LTL weapons in the game 1-shot civilians. They will die and won't be executable/muggable. If it gets fixed it will be even stronger, something less than lethal weapons deserve. These weapons were nerfed through the ground and right now, only worthy few can ever utilize them in a competitive environment. Lethal weapons are the counter and criminals have a dozen that completely smoke LTL weapons at their disposal.

Less Than Lethal weapons are the cure to the Corona-virus.

Yes, Master~~

He wouldn't last a minute....

Alright, so you have shifted over the quotes. No problem, it still won't help your trollish case. I'll entertain you a bit further.. Explain this to me, how does A SINGLE line said by MattScott himself: "This is our first small step towards making sure Joker Mystery Boxes remain a compelling and exciting part of your APB gameplay." count as multiple "odd ramblings" by me? Do you even think your trollish behavior through before executing? You claim to be relevant yet you are now talking about the Corsair for some reason.. which I have never ever brought attention to in the entirety of this thread as the content of the box itself is not the point here. It is what comes WITH the box.. Coincidence? You are more than welcome to "read" MattScott's blog, this thread and what I have specifically said before typing further gibberish nonsense. Your animal preferences are also not related to the thread nor anyone here needs to know about them. Kindly keep your furry-fetishes to yourself.

Excellent. My opening statement is this: "Let us not forget the fact that this box is a bypass that allows players to buy things previously weren't accessible with real-money.." (e.g Imperial Crown and FireBomb). Your reply to me is these set of lines: Now tell me this, what part of this "odd rumble" is relevant, Mr. "weird cat boy"?

I'd like to see you actually discuss the facts that I have stated. This will get you nowhere as it is not even related to the thread nor what I have said. Be relevant or be someplace else, thank you.

So you quote me but talk to someone else? That makes sense as it was obvious you were talking to yourself.

Check mate.. These changes are not even related to what I have said. Thank you for confirming the fact that you can't read.

That is quite intriguing coming from someone who doesn't read properly, doesn't know what JTs have always stood for, didn't hear LO's official promises about JMBs going away and doesn't quote and reply to statements directly like a proper human being. It is obvious who is the weird one here.

Let us not forget the fact that this box is a bypass that allows players to buy things previously weren't accessible with real-money.. Even by the epicly-more greedy managements that were managing things before Little Orbit. Items in the Joker Store were a symbol of dedication to those who actually keep player-counts high, players who keep the game full of life, players who prevented APB from looking like Fallen Earth 2.0 without nuclear fallout.. players who actually earned the right to wear/use these items through continuous game-play in the most combat-active districts there are, fight-clubs. From this day forward, grinding fight-club is no longer a necessity.. dailies are not either.. With $237.6‬ spent on this box, one can get the epic: Crown Imperial Anyone can wear a crown even before learning how a quarter of the game works by cashing in in this box (and future boxes as the plan is for boxes to "remain compelling and exciting").. Moreover, with only $‭79.2‬, one can get a frigging FireBomb! Isn't this compelling and exciting? "this is our first small step towards making sure Joker Mystery Boxes remain a compelling and exciting part of your APB gameplay." Stop walking in this direction, please!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MattScott: "So, since it’s Joker Madness month, I have decided that in addition to the random rewards, JMB 23 will also give a guaranteed amount of Joker Tickets. That means regardless of whether you get the legendary you’re chasing, you will still earn tickets that can be spent in the Joker Store for other permanent guns." While this is a nice thought, the better option would've been getting a loyalty-reward-selection mail in-game after a certain number of boxes have been purchased, simply because there is more to the Joker Store than just the weapons LO have added.. This was NOT thought through. Not even close.

They can't kill the soul of the NL9 that easily. NL9 showed the audio engineers the stars at noon-time before the others stepped in and modified it.. #LTLIsYourDestiny

Now buff Stabba-NL9's rate of fire, thx~~ May this be the next 'baby step, since it doesn't involve reworking any other systems. You should be able to implement it right away' else, you are stabbacist..

If Devil Dog knew beforehand, he would've rewarded our grind with a good-looking PMG instead, cuz that's the go-to weapon when noobs want to "mean business" and will obviously stay ridiculously good without getting the nerf it deserves.

We'll further lose 10% of the current Silver-population due to increased toxicity towards them #SilverIsTheNewBronze -------------------------------------------- But I'll have you know.. if such a new threat exists.. it should be limited to LTL-Enforcers as they are the ones with true-skill in this game. Don't you dare ever again give fancy badges to newb pmg-criminulz. PMG-noobs shouldn't be allowed to up-threat #LTLMasterRace

Economy-wise, they can always sell the weapon without the box. However............ There is no "until" in "remain", my dear.. #ThisIsOurFirstSmallStepTowardsMakingSureJokerMysteryBoxesRemainACompellingAndExcitingPartOfYourAPBGameplay." Whalecum to the legendary meme

"This is our first small step towards making sure Joker Mystery Boxes remain a compelling and exciting part of your APB gameplay."

You are under arrest for illegally selling lethal arms

With a budget of $800, you might lose out. I recommend waiting for the next paycheck and upping your budget to $950. An additional $150 over something that will last for few years is not expensive at all. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XQFKP3 Your current power supply, hard drives, and hopefully case should complete the pc.

'Cheaters' kneel before me as I arrest them. #LTLIsYourDestiny -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You must also remember that the game gives pretty much wall-hack information: 1 » Tagger mods are obvious but they can be dealt with slightly easier. 2 » Spotter mod is similar but worse than #1. You don't lose health and you don't see a marker above your head with this one, so you can't tell when it is active on you or not. It is the press-5-to-wallhack mod and its existence in the game was one of the most stupid decisions ever made. I personally won't miss this mod if it gets deleted. 3 » Cars driving around are tracked on the mini-map in real time. Because requiring players to rely on their ears to hear loud-as-♥♣♦♠ cars is obviously too hard and extra, real-time information must be given for some reason. 4 » Spawn locations are predictable and spawner cars are always visible. and more The game is currently set up in a way that gives too much information. It is only natural to think Cheaters are plentiful. I genuinely hope for these stupid gimmicks to vanish. When it comes to real cheats, speaking for NA I didn't encounter a trigger botter for a good while. I won't say they don't exist, but considering gold-players miss a shot every now and then, I know they aren't trigger botting. There is another deliberate cheat where a player messes with their bandwidth to the point where they are always desyncing. they warp around much worse than a dial-up connection from 2 decades ago, but I didn't see this one for months. I can't speak for my experience in EU though as I didn't play there recently.

Assuming the performance of this shotgun is somewhat inspired by the NL-9 just like its appearance. Knowing its pinpoint accuracy even at insane ranges like 50m, maybe.. Maybe they gave it the damage-over-distance gimmick the DMR/8balls have..? A not-so-great shotgun up close to compete with the CSG/JG, but something to sit next to Shredder or 'shred' better further out?

Agreed, that would be nice to see. Damage scaling with bloom should go away. It is simply not the way to go. Damage nerf is interesting and will indeed make HVR-FBW less cheap. I am generally against damage nerfs because it will make APB even more tanky than it already is. The game will be skewed further towards teaming-up to get kills and makes 1v2+ encounters more difficult. When it comes to snipers, damage nerf won't give new-comers a better impression as too many people are fond of sniping. A game where head-shots do not exist and snipers requiring at least 2 shots to kill is already unattractive for that audience. Requiring the FBW an additional shot to kill would make that impression even worse. But specifically for this case, my worries do not fully apply. Considering that the FBW needs 0.2 seconds to fire again, the 2nd shot should come faster than waiting for the HVR-bloom to stabilize to deal good damage. I feel your solution would overall yield for faster game-play that makes more sense. I definitely support it.

To satisfy OP, how many people in here believe the HVR quickswitch nerf was too much? In other words, how many would be okay with HVR switching slightly faster than it does right now? (It doesn't have to be as fast as it used to be)
