    Just want to make sure people know. Have a conversation. Be social. Like what forums are made for.

    Not this forum. Literally the first rule.
    One does not simply socialize by saying whatever comes to mind.

    I'm assuming they're going to try and backport some of the things they did on 2.2/3.5 ahead of releasing 1.3, I think the plan is to also backport the tools that 3.5 would've provided which means making new content should hopefully be easier and not like jumping through hoops at every step.

     

    While I personally think the meta is in a good spot except for very few outliers I do think there need to be improvements and I'm not just talking about buffs to the dozens of weapons that just cant compete. Weapon stats need to be communicated to players much better than the bars we currently have and hopefully that should also be an easier task to do on 1.3. I'll attach a concept I did in like 5 mins in ms paint (xd) below but ideally the bars are replaced with actual numbers for important stats that could also change dynamically depending on the mods you have on the gun such as IR increasing the effective range from 50 to 57, Three point sling decreasing the equip time etc.

    As with 3.5 and 2.2 I think that LO is well aware that this is likely their last shot at a big increase in player numbers, if it fails, they'll have to work their way up slowly by making the game better one update at the time much like No Man's Sky did so ideally they actually release 1.3 in a state that has a bunch of QoL improvements, updates or content that actually makes a large chunk of returning players stick around as that'll accelerate the games potential revival. I think every player that actually still cares about the game should encourage LO to do so, taking an extra month or two getting these QoL updates in in an attempt to make returning players stick around should be well worth it. I might look into making a thread in the future when 1.3 is getting closer to release asking the community for feedback and potential QoL changes that LO could implement, I already have a document with suggestions for this that I've been updating for a while myself that could then be updated with the communities ideas and forwarded to someone at LO. If you have ideas now and don't want to wait feel free to poke me on the LO discord.

    It is definitely something to look forward to because according to "APB 2022 Roadmap":

     

    1- x64 client would allow more resources to be used, meaning potential for better performance (unless someone is still playing on an ancient x32 hardware).

     

    2- There are a lot of people who got shafted from having 10th series as well as RTX GPUs. They either play on molten-icecream graphics or their client would crash much more quickly. potentially, more people would be able to play by then. The more, the merrier.
     

    3- Backporting the Cooked Package System will allow for faster loading times. A big annoyance with APB is how long it takes to start the game. Opening UI elements such as inventory and lockers would also be faster.

     

    4- Backporting the Newer Network Code, which allows for cross world play, effectively merging NA and EU. I look forward to this the most. Players would be able to play with friends overseas without having to start over on a new character. Some people like raising new characters, many do not.

     

    5- While having new vegetation may or may not happen, Directx11 will be backported and hopefully Directx12. I just hope they don't destroy lighting because many games that upgraded from Dx9 to Dx11 were in need of revising Lighting sources. Many just shipping the games looking borked. LO might not but it may require some time to revise.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    My only concern is that Weapon Balance, Missions or enhancing core-gameplay to make it appeal more to non-veterans is not even anywhere on the Roadmap. New Blood will come to try the game and then leave after realizing that it is a chess-game with water-guns that won't make sense without actually knowing numbers that aren't even presented in-game. Whether APB goes to 1.3 or to 2.x yields the same outcome in this regard. The improvements are nice but a "game" can't just delay improvements to core-gameplay and expect things to go nicely because after the update is done, it would take LO months to improve the game, while it takes a New Player a singular day to try the game, uninstall and never look at it ever again.

    And... you dont care about the this thread really. You just want to come back at me. Crazy how i stayed in your head since the ltl discussion we had. How many times did you dream about me?  😊

    You just came back at yourself. You made a thread that literally talks to your past-self, which clearly didn't change.

    If you only knew what it is like to suffer from being good. 

     

    You think i like being called a cheater or macro user or no recoil player. 

     

    It just hurts so much when you show the opp your skills but they still think they are better and will say that youre doing something thats not right, instead of saying, that was good, how did you do that. But in apb its never you right? Its always someone else in the wrong. Youre always right. 

    Been there, done that. The game is literally over a decade old.

    Works fine for me but for my opps.. they spam my whisper chat full with hate and when it gets too much they just quit the game. 😞 i dont like making people quit but i cant help it that the stun guns are so easy to use. 

     

     

     

    And thank you lily, goodluck to you too 😊

    I'd like to believe you but this very thread-complaint says that the truth was otherwise.

    Not worth trying to change them instead restrict them from touching apb ever again. 

     

    Ps its cute how you started with "yeah well"  😊

    It is not that simple. Do you know of a way other than actually going to their homes and sending them to jail?

     

    Please give LO the golden-recommendation that nobody before you knew was possible.

    Im sorry to say this but you are terribly confused with yourself, might be because apb forums is the only way you get to interract with other people but thats your life 😛

     

    let me clear things up for you and you must listen carefully without feeling attacked okay?

     

    you said let dethreaters be fasted up on, and i explained why that makes them turn in to cheaters. Which then becomes another problem. But then you take it in as im trying to show sympathy for cheaters by understanding them. 

     

    No lily i hate cheaters and dethreaters more than anyone else in this game because i love apb.

     

    But to solve a problem you must first understand where it comes from. Thats how you can move foreward. 

     

    Battling fire with fire doesnt stop the forest from burning down. 

    Yeah well, the problem isn't with me. It is with you. You simply lack basic understanding.

     

    Like, how will you exactly change their mindset?

    You said it yourself: "but a dethreaters doesnt want anything else than a scummy win because of being scared or lacking what it takes to be a real gold yet wanting to be on that level".

     

    Someone who doesn't want to improve themselves & instead simply resorts to cheating, WHICH IS AGAINST THE RULES, is not worth considering.

    Are you enjoying the nerfs you asked for? 

     

    Did it actually make you better? Or did it just make it harder for you to play? 

     

    You thought begging for nerfs was the fix to your b1tch1ng attitude right? 

     

    You really thought nerfing a gun would make the better player worse 😂

     

    Not realizing the better player will always ve better no matter the gun while you beg for nerf just to make it harder for yourself... the good player still making you beg harder now? 

    Ironic questions coming from one of the people who wanted LTL nerfed, literally the weakest weapons in the game.

    It has been a while, I hope you have improved since then.

    Are you the only one playing game? 

     

    Good job for getting a few arrest and wins to cheaters but the other 90% is still suffering. 

     

    Just because you are sooooo good and able to manage doesnt mean everybody else can

     

    Game is supose to be amusing on its own, instead of being a game where someone with no self worth will use it to fill their empty holes. 

     

     

    I hate dethreaters too but a dethreaters doesnt want anything else than a scummy win because of being scared or lacking what it takes to be a real gold yet wanting to be on that level.

     

    So, when the dethreater cant beat the real gold, it will get very frustrated and thats when cheating becomes a solution for them because they still crave that feeling of winning but they just cant get it so they start cheating instead. 

     

     

    You got to learn to understand others before taking words so personal lily, its not always only about you. 

    - Let's see here. I didn't make this about me. I simply stated facts. There are numerous cheaters who cheated and still got destroyed and I was lucky to be a part of some of them, others lost live on Twitch.

     

    - Breaking Terms of Service is not a "solution". Cheating is cheating, irrespective of the reason behind it. Those who think it is a solution can start at fixing themselves first.

     

    - Rather than ask people to "understand" those who cheat, perhaps ask Cheaters to READ & UNDERSTAND the rules they agreed to when they started playing the game.

     

    I am sorry, there are no excuses to be made here for such people.

    So they can buy cheats and come back? 

    Does that scare you?

     

    So they get what they deserve. They decided to blatantly feast upon those new to the game even though LO declared dethreating bannable. Scum do not deserve mercy, period. Whatever they try next is of no leverage to them.

     

    And it isn't like they didn't already try. Some cheated and not only died/got_arrested a decent number of times but also lost missions. APB's rules are strict, plus there are no known cheats for APB that provide God Mode. Dethreaters are not good enough to be a threat, not even with cheats.

    That actually made me think, because someone stated that LO probably wanted something else to be used in CQC instead of the JG + PIG.

    They wanted to lessen/destroy quickswitching. Shotgun+PIG was nerfed, Shotgun+Snub (this one was really busted because it used to kill in 0.1s) was nerfed to ~0.5s (still decent), Pistol+HVR was severely nerfed (HVR's damage is now linked to crosshair size, meaning the player must be aiming down sights fully to do full damage, a cheap fix that made it a charge rifle).

     

    They wanted to streamline things, less quickswitching because it 'annoyed' people. Therefore, shotgun+pig got its treatment as well.

    But why would you nerf a CQC intended tazer and keep it so that LTL as a whole are only somewhat but not entirely effective at medium ranges.

    Because they prioritize bad decisions. They'd kill something rather than balance it better. For example, rather than remove Improved Rifling 3 on the RFP-Fang, they simply made all variants of RFP a tall-order to use. The weapon currently has no place in a serious match (requires 1.5s at best to kill).

     

    Similarly, rather than make arrested-criminals be sent to the spawn map faster (which alone would open things up and make the experience overall better for both factions), they decided to make PIG weak. So now Enforcers will struggle more and Criminals will still dislike the extra wait. I'm not sure why again LO went with the bad route. At this point, it is clear that those in charge of balancing are inside-jobbers with the objective of making the game objectively worse for everyone.

    I used to play Multi Theft Auto Online which is like a GTA San Andreas multiplayer mod where people can host their own servers with plugins/scripts. Kind of like FiveM for GTA 5.

    If y'all knew how tazers and arresting worked over there, you'd be glad the way it works in APB lmao.

     

    You basically walk around with a normal tazer (comparable to the PIG) it holds 2 bullets per chamber and has a normal fire rate.

    If you get hit, your character falls to the ground for 3-5 seconds, the cop walks over to you, hits you once with a nightstick and you'll be jailed from 1 seconds till up to 15 minutes in jail (based on your wanted stars)

     

    Barely anyone complains about that system over there btw, and that's x1000 more OP than LTL weaponry in APB.

    Not to mention that official created police squads get flashbangs and stun grenades which they can throw during a chase on foot, slowing your character down for 3 seconds allowing the cop to get within range to use the tazer.

     

    GTA is so entertaining in that regard because it is overall more logical. LTL weapons are quite effective as they should. When it comes to APB however, even actual weapons are like water-guns so LTL will naturally be worse.

     

    I also remember the days  when GTA San Andreas Multiplayer was the thing, Cops were good at the game and it was fun pissing them off and having them chase you down to put you in jail. It never annoyed me one bit because it made sense for what it was. I fear APB will further detach itself from the theme of Enforcers vs Criminals. That's how a game becomes more bland & loses more players. No reason to play it if it isn't special anymore.
