To be honest, about 5 years ago I was such a fuzzy bunny and am embarrassed I acted in the way I did... Then I got an SSD and finally the internet in my area was upgraded with fibre. I feel so stupid looking at myself back then.

Seriously you do have any other hobbies?

Armas has the benefit of permanent versions of in game content but it's more than that, It's sell items which care exclusive version alternate designs, skins and sometimes mods. Do you know what a money sink is? If that was true then there would be no legendary weapons in game. When governments around the world stopped in 2017 to consider if lootboxes should be considered gambling, you know that a lot of them are being bought. Also a lot of people do not want or cannot afford to buy a Armas Vegas 4x4 so they grind at daily activities and Fight club weekly activities to unlock the Joker Distribution.

Sorry about the triple post, post editted. Internet is having a hiccup.

Very tempted to challenge @RoseTheGoat to a 1 on 1... But I only have an Enforcer on Citadel at this time and I'm not sure if she has a snub rose, will have to check on that in the morning. Maybe something to consider for another day? As for later today. Your in game name: VickyFox Your Faction: Enforcer Your Clan: (N/A) Your country: United Kingdom Character Gender: Fox Female

Someone who clearly couldn't take a joke... saying that, a lot of people thought it was a valid point I made. Seriously Ray tracing on a game turning 10 years old this year? Sure as soon as we get Racing District.

Ray tracing confirmed?

Colour Triggerbots is like trying to stop macros. While this is a solution, it is a tacky solution requiring a GM to be in district. It's a skin deep solution which doesn't address the underlying issue. And how long will it be before hackers invert the trigger so that it fires when the crosshairs stop being white? It won't matter what colour the crosshairs become over a target then.

The Ntec is the go-to gun because it is the most balanced gun. It had a good range with reasonable recoil and bloom, still good at hip fire and the fire rate is fair. What makes a gun op is if the range, fire rate or recoil is not proportionate and gives the feeling of being unfair. Case and point: The NHVRs were nerfed after the Scout series was released because people didn't just run with snipers, they could get jump and still get perfect shots at close distances, people used to shoot with a sniper then instantly change to a secondary to get a kill in like 0.3 seconds which would kill faster than any single gun. Ideally yes. ...Why... no! No one is going to use them actively. ...oh please stop! If existing players with Armas isn't getting enough income for further development of APB then How is crowdfunding going to help? Armas is a store, a steady* source of income. Crowdfunding would be asking for 1 off investment which isn't going to last. Little Orbit have staff to pay, property rent , business tax, server rent, electrical bill, internet utility bill... to resort to a 1 off payment of money from crowd funding would be an act of desperation. It's like asking $200 from your mom and dad for a brand new car... when you already a car and a job!

Are you talking about your car or NPC's cars? If you repair your car, get out and then get back into it then the lights will work again. However traffic lights do not work anymore

I suspect the old gremlin of engine limitations is why this hasn't been done before. Previous dynamic events were small scale: Easter/Drug mule: mugging NPCs to get holiday event items to collect, Butcher: 1 person finds a legendary OPGL and they go on a rampage in district while everyone available attacks them. Recent larger event had needed a dedicated district for events even as small as Autumn Assault. Equally an issue is that no one wants to disrupt other players who are already in missions, And lastly stress testing the servers would be needed to see if they could handle normal missions along side a dynamic event.

1. I find myself going well you cannot say the game is pay to win without further context. Chances are that the gun you used was a weapon which is a reskin of a already existing gun in game and maybe with preset mods... If this is so then changes also are that you haven't tried or unlocked the original in game version of the gun either. If a gun is genuinely overpowered then it often is just because it has yet to be balanced out or something about the gun has become broken in error during a patch. It's not uncommon when a new gun is released that it needs to damage, range or fire rate reduced as it was more powerful in game than first thought. Joker Box Legendaries are not pay to win either as these guns may be unique but have quirts that deliberately make it harder to use these weapons even if they may be more powerful. All guns have a counter and all guns have their strengths and weaknesses. Not sure If you meant what this sentence is actually saying but Selling weapons back to armas would be pay to win for some as then people can get more money back from content they no longer want, for people who have guns they don't like, It wouldn't be a bad idea but it wouldn't be free player friendly. Trading Armas premium guns in game would break the in game economy! If people bought guns on Armas with real money only to sell them for in game money then they'd be in the millions within minutes without doing a single mission, They could then buy what they want from the in game marketplace and get the best cars, guns, mods... It would make rank and progression pointless! I'm sorry but that is pay to win! 2. The clothing items that cannot be found in game or sold in Armas are in fact holiday event rewards. The next holiday will be the Valentines Day. 3. Little Orbit has acknowledge that the game is not new comer friendly... and are trying to find ways to address this. 4 . GTA has a storyline for the both the online character and offline characters where as APB is coming up to a decade old and the characters have a bit of a back story but you don't see it unfold or the characters develop or change. The APB lore has been rather forgotten over the years not built upon. ...For what it's worth, a new game mode "RIOT" is being developed. The thing about APB is that It's sort of an open sandbox third person shooter, You don't just have to do mission as it is an open world... I mean there is the Event sub forum which players can plan an make their own events. Police chases, shooting competitions, races, car shows. ----- I think the point to take away from this is that APB: All Point Bulletin first came online with a closed beta back in October 2009! If you compare the Grand Theft Auto series to APB which is coming up to 10 years old then you're not going to have a fun time with APB because the games are just nothing alike. It has been said that APB had costed $100 million to develop, GTA V had a budget of $175 million just for marketing the game... 175 million dollar budget for marketing a game which had already multiple games in the same brand that broke sales records world wide! It's a game that sell itself now. APB was also intended to be online multiple only, GTA started off as a single player offline with open world story line. GTA Online only elaborated on the story lines and game play experience with other players interaction.

I would like to attend both events but I'm going to say it now, Silver for both district on a weekend... That'll limit the number of people attending as everyone else in district will be in missions.

Well open conflict by concept is a district with a alternative match making system. Instead of conventional match making, both teams have a even mix of skills and experience but neither side know each other's ranks or threats... nor can they can tell what their own teammate's rank/threat are The fact people don't do mission in Open Conflict like you said, shows that this minimal match making system wasn't liked. Just because you took advantage of empty district, doesn't mean Little Orbit are fools for removing it when you didn't use the district for it's intended use. Saying that, it doesn't mean what you did is wrong but obviously that's not it's sole or even it's primary use for Open conflict. Open conflict is being removed from all version of the game on all platforms. The instance will later be used for a new game mode.

Open Conflict is a district which wasn't really used much on the PC version, not sure about console. Open Conflict will be replaced by a new game mode "RIOT" in the future anyway but this could of been an oversight.

An account wide locker/bank would be great but bare in mind that you're mixing money from criminals and enforcers so I'm not so sure if that would be a good idea. As much as I agree and would like to see this, It's the same issue and actually may be the same reason why Characters can't migrate from server to server. Cross server player made content may become corrupted or fragmented during transition. Even if a independent server was made just for account wide content holding, that's an extra layer which is another potential point of content transition errors occurring. Pretty much my sentiment exact. I have 2 enforcers and 1 criminal and may get another criminal. The cost of Armas is NOT the problem. The problem is that some content which cost higher are character bound and not given an option for account wide. This come across as being deceptive in the eyes of some. While some people may want a middle price just to have an item for a single character but why do some packs and bundles not come in account wide versions??? As much as I want to speak highly of Little Orbit, this is really not consumer friendly feeling.

Another player that complains about cheaters is leaving... ...oh no...

T-25 kits please?

Pleased to make your acquaintance, My name is Victoria... and you're a contradiction? Naturally long time players have may have a better understanding of mechanics of the in game's content and features and a bit of knowledge of config files of the game. I mean finding the kind of person that are bronze threat, rank 45, and thinks I'm hacking every Thursday is hard to come by!

GamerFirst opened the SPCT project open for anyone to apply... background and previous experience checks were minimal. I applied and was considered for previous SPCT but then I was accepted into college and didn't have the time. Little Orbit staff now hand pick individuals. These individuals have shown analytical skills, demonstrated experience in game play and an understanding of core game functionality. Views and opinions of the individuals should be constructive in feedback but that doesn't mean they have to agree with little orbit nor do they have agree with other members of the player base. Again like most things touched by G1, SPCT has changed for the better.

Yeah and why listen to third wave feminist when they don't stand for equality? #gamergate would suggest there is sexism in the gaming industry, but the people that make such claims are not the kind of people in the industry's target market is anyway. We can't have porn or violent movies on the internet because the internet is used by schools too? “Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak, just because a baby can't chew it.” - Mark Twain

The real world is not as simple as a table top experiment model. While you can dilute soluble substances in a solvent, We're talking about people here. The potential ratio of honourable players to dishonourable players may have no correlation More exposure of the game will bring a wide range of people from all walks of life... and not just players with good intentions. Publicity may attract trolls, hackers and scammers as well!

I said this before: Free players get 30 minutes free trail lease... Premium members get 3 hours leases... All trails can only bet gotten I think it was once a month. So free players can get free trail weapon for only 6 hours in a year. Premium member free trail weapons are only 36 hours or 1 and a half days. A gun you can have for under 2 days out of 365 days in a year is not a loss If a player can try a weapon and get a feel if they like it or not, It may make them want to buy that gun. Show us proof because a majority of guns in Armas Marketplace are reskins... just a new gun look but same weapon as in game. The unique guns are balanced to being slightly under powered or having negative affects which make the gun harder to use.

The forum is a open public* area. Blocking a user will only stop that blocked person from sending you private messages. It may stop the person from viewing your profile too but not sure on that one. I agree with both, This isn't making anyone look good and seems petty. "There are no such thing as stupid question" ...No stupid questions doesn't mean that every question is smart nor reflects on what an individual is like.

Whatever it is... It's a problem on your end and not on the server's side. All you're doing is just publicising how thick your skin is.
