The best agruement for LTL removal or equality is that it could be considered exploitation of a weapon's feature... but unlike a HVR jump shot or quick switching, Less than Lethal was intended to give a delayed respawn so criminal team mates could try and rescue them with Saviour role. Enforces have a fair bit of content tied to Cop rank, and Saviour role being just better keys and a single title only gives more validity for criminals to be upset. At the end of the day, a majority of Enfs only use LTL for the rank's unlocks and nothing more. Only the worst spiteful tryhards would change to a Less than lethal weapon to get arrest and slow down criminal's match progression. That level of sportsmanship shouldn't be paid attention to and should be considered an outlier. Both on Crim and Enf, I've never seen anyone switch to less than lethal to deliberately impede crims for the last few rounds. If you seen a Enf using LTL then feel free to message them asking for their cop rank and see how many are maxed at rank 15.

Don't know why server merges are different, something to ask a member of staff.

I agree that half an hour is not enough time to decide if a gun if worth purchasing and if suited for that player when some Events games and Fight club matches go on for half an hour. Non-Premium players could have 3 hours and Premium players could get either no or 1 extra hour. Premium membership players are probably perceived to more likely to make a purchase with a previous purchase on record and premium discount considered. With that in mind, that maybe a reason to give these players more time to consider if a gun is suited to them, but it's really not needed. A whole day free trail may be excessive when you bare in mind that Armas has guns with the option for a 3 day lease at 99 G1c.

After so many years of being on APB I still find myself asking "Why am I only getting about a 3rd of the purchases I have of my main account when I make a new character". While some guns, skins and gear could be sold individually, My gripe is with bundles and packs. The most expensive packs are bumbles with vehicles and clothing but the lack of ability to upgrade from Character bound to Account wide feels... somewhat of a rip off and deceptive to someone who is new. I know it's been suggested before but at the prices for some packs/bundles being so high. By default, items are character bound but then there are some items Growl kits with separate Account wide and Character bound versions on Armas which only causes confusion as to what everything else would be. Prices may be arguable but Armas can be confusing and may seem deceptive and poor value for money still even after all the work done so far. I suspect some of what I said has already been considered for the Armas revamp later, but I just had to get this off my mind because having more than 1 Enf on different servers and paying again for what I've already paid for feels a ridiculous when I can't upgrade to account wide on some vehicle and clothing kits and mixed bundles.

Matt Scott said that Little Orbit would look at a criminal alternative to Less than Lethal. Frankly crims with stuns is pointless other than spite and for the sake of it. Enforcers have Cop rank which Cop uniform and some enforcer vehicle likes ate unlocked by.

...Look most players are not Bronze, I'd say there is an even number of silvers to golds. What you're getting for your Joker Tickets/Armas Purchase is exclusive version of the Vegas which has all wheel drive, this gives it better handling both on road, off road and going around corners. This vehicle can be gotten with 1,2,3 or 4 mod slots from Joker Distrobution Store in Socail. Armas will give a 4 mod slot version and the vehicle is permanently unlocked, getting a second Vegas after Armas unlocked will only cost $1200 and no joker tickets. If you don't think a customisable all wheel drive version of the fastest car in game, with 4 mod slots is not worth that effort/money... ...Then that's your opinion and you don't have to get the car!

Created my account probably 2010. as the EU servers were offline at the time I made my first character on NA... Matt Scott has stated that it is not viable to transfer characters from 1 server to another due to the potential unforeseen side affects.

I am so tired of people telling "X should be top priority" because they're having a few bad games... There is more to APB than such minor details.

Was a matter of time with a new game engine on the way!

Cute Vegas... ...Now love for the T-25 anyone?

Ohshii you are SO right! I think Yood is trying to say what is the point of Armas and disagrees with the idea of premium weapons, but I'm really not sure what he's trying to say.

All I'm going to say is server populations. If you think there is a limited number of players now, imagine when everyone is locked to their threat.

First off I pay premium, Second I was trying to return back on topic. There have been a lot of systems and concepts in game that have been abused, The free gun trail lease is one that has been around for years. Each gun lease is 3 hours long, then there is a cooldown before you can ask for another trail lease for the same gun. (lets say for argument sake it's a month) 3 hours trail multiplied by 12 (1 trail each month) = 36 hours. You could have a gun on a free trail for 1 and a half days - per year... Considering how many guns there are, ok yeah that could be costly to Little Orbit BUT different gun trail leases do not give consideration for other gun trail leases. In other words you could have all at once but all guns would still expire at the same time if redeemed at the same time. There maybe about 200 to 300 guns but to put this much effort into getting a free gun a day by saving trails for year... It is rather silly and unpractical.

As nice as it would be, to duplicate vehicles and clothing with custom made designs may not be possible at this time due to technical constraints. Same with adding slots, I suspect vehicles with slots are handled as a completely different vehicle by the game. Despite being the same model, features and characteristics/stats, the slots I would guess is coded into the vehicle itself, like a preset mod is part of the gun and cannot be removed. Hopefully both would be added in game for massive convenience of players, as in concept it's simple but in practice with coding it's not so simple as the mind makes it out to be.

1). Well Lady Tiggs is no longer a member of staff at GamersFirst so It's up to Little Orbit's disgression if Sony and Microsoft agrees to Linking existing accounts but I don't see why not... The only issue is Sony is stubborn with games being cross platform. 2). I don't have a console, but being console one would assume so there probably would be aim assist. 3). Xbox/PS4's versions of APB are running on a skeleton framework of Unreal Engine 3.5, The PC version still is on Unreal Engine 3.0! GamersFirst rushed porting out the console versions in time for a contractual deadline in agreements with Deep Silver. Also each update and patch has to be verified by Microsoft and Sony respectively. The console version seem rough around the edges... because it just is rough around the edges, console versions of APB haven't been refined yet and it is on the To-Do list at Little Orbit. 4). There is the technical issue of having characters on different servers, Matt Scott has stated that transferring characters on to other servers may cause unforeseen affects that may be negative to the account's content. For example a player created design/symbol may become corrupted during transfer and there may not be much (or any) way to prevent or recover damaged content. Transferring from a PC server to another PC server is not viable, let alone to a completely different gaming platform.

Depends on what day it is due to work shift patterns, typically 1-3 hours casually. Bare in mind weapon trails have a number of days cooldown before a new trail lease could be gotten from Armas. I'm not sure how many days, It maybe a month or multiple months.

Actually external advertisements and surveys would give an alternative form of income to Little Orbit. The reason why it's not the most popular is because end user have to give personal details and use up their time going through the process. This third point is just a theory and I don't know the licensing and contractual agreements obviously, but one would I suspect the expenses to Little Orbit for use such a service would be deducted in value total from the end user's reward. The end user would cover the costs by forfeiting some of their reward that they could of got from the surveys and ads.

Yeah Not sure what's up with Yood but a 3 hour trail is not going cause losses of revenue for Little Orbit! I'm sure trails will return but Armas Marketplace is due for a revamp after the last initial one so later this year i think, so it may not be for a little while. If people can try something before they buy, I see no reason why not if it may encourage them to go through with the purchase.

Girl, are you trolling? When I said "2018 New Years"... I was talking about 2017 going into 2018. I meant 2018 News Year! Thinking about it, maybe my question was silly when I know that G1 did next to nothing for the last 3 years. Admittedly I kinda forgot to factor that in. What has GamersFirst ever done for ANY new year celebrations other than a free premium code?

Not sure what event you are referring to so I'll just say this: 2018 New Year's... What event??? I'm not sure where you got an idea that there was any form of offical celebration of the new year that happened last year, There was a firework display done by the community off the cuff which was cool. Autumn Assult, there isn't much I could say as I struggled to play at all, the concept of Battleroyale wasn't as bad as I thought but the implimentation and the way the event was handled overall was a train wreck. The only positives there was is that Little Orbit learnt lessons and acknowledged that. Christmas 2019 Adding on to the Halloween Contagion event with snow storm block terrorises felt more like a hassle and unnecessary addition. The 12 guns from G1 was carried over and... There's a point we like new content but recycling events? uhhhh... I think Little Orbit and G1 handled Christmas well in adding something new each year but keeping elements of the previous year(s) carried over. Of both Halloween and Christmas 2019 I will say that a third team with the low population levels should be a consideration to remember in the future. A higher total number of players needed to start, lower start team mate count with a greater overall number of opponent was just frustrating, It was a fun challenge and felt more like try hard competitive. But this is just down to low population and peak hours of the day. Credit where due, a third team added excitement and a fun challenge with chaos all around. It kept things a little bit more unpredictable when there was higher number of players. I wasn't going to mention Halloween event but a thing I did like was the area damage when in a opponent's controlled zone as well as having to destroy the barrels to free the territory. --- I'm glad you asked me what I liked and didn't like, but maybe consider asking yourself that with the OP. The OP comes across unintentionally as a rant or an unconstructive criticism without some good points of what you did like. Also I think it's more of a societal issue than Little Orbit in regards to Orthodox Christmas. In the UK, The 6th of January wasn't a bank holiday and no one really celebrated christmas after new years and it's really not something considered. You can blame commercialisation when people celebrate Christmas all of December and maybe earlier only to not celebrate as strongly after Christmas day before ending on Epiphany. At my work place, I heard multiple times enquires about when should christmas decorations come down... on the 6 or 7th of January and no really knew why either. When the modern interpretation of Saint Nicolas "Santa Claus" is more recognisable than Jesus Christ and the celebrations are too early, That's commercialisation and a loss of understand of what christmas has and nothing to do with Little Orb... Or heck the internet entirely!

Why just 1 favourite, If you change your primary weapon then you'd probably going to switch out the secondary and maybe grenades. Also consideration for Character mods depending on weapons and situational requirements. When we have different weapon classes and different weapons characteristics, why not have loadout slots... just like outfits. A slot for Shotgun/SMG loadout, a sniper loadout and assault rifle loadout. I think this would speed up gameplay and make APB feel more streamlined and competitive indirectly.

How are LittleOrbit supposed to know and keep APB untold traditions when they hardly knew how to handle their first event. Is Autumn Assault was anything to go by, It's clear these are completely new people (obviously) and are still getting to know the game and community. You make it sound like Matt Scott and Lixil have known us for years! It's just not the same Gamersfirst AND THANK GOD IT'S NOT!

I too feel for Kreedz but while it crucial In my time I've seen probably 1 or maybe 2 Shawcopters, I do remember this one the highway that just spinned around with the accuracy of a ntec from 75metres away probably without aiming. I was stunned and amazed with intrigued at this character and left the game laughing at how it was the most obvious form of cheating i had ever seen. Aimbots, wall hacks and triggerbots are all about equally as common but speed hacks still can be found. In the past some members of staff have overreacted to some people in the community in fits of rage, previous version of anti-cheat have accidentally banned people falsely. One cannot deny these forms of cheating happen not and then It is also just as important that the bans are accurate. Little Orbit acknowledged that there were more false bans than one would expect and gave those accounts a pardon. GMs go by what they see but Staff in the office can check the server, account and go back and check for any unusual activity with a find tooth comb in a way a GM cannot. It's no surprise a fair number of people think some are speed hacking until it's pointed out that Fragile mod is equipped, and I've missed it too at times. At the end of the day, customer service is going to be customer service and posting to the forum isn't getting the right attention from staff or the issue addressed any faster no matter how much evidence there is. While it may be other player's problem too, it's just not going to get the attention of those who have the final say of if these accounts should be banned. It doesn't matter how right the message is, if it's said the wrong way.

I hope to join but It would depend on day and time of day. Character name: VickyFox on both NA and EU

I don't see the point of motion shaking in a third person shooter. To be honest I don't see the point of head bobbing in First person shooters as your brain compensates for head bobbing affect while you walk, It just seems like a pointless distraction in games.
