Something new to learn. You mean learning how to counter the new CSG and N-TEC in every single mission?

Welcome to the CSG and N-TEC meta. We'll be having dark times unless LO realizes how bad these changes are.

Seems like the JG and CSG are back to their broken state before their nerf years ago, and the True Ogre feels weaker now. N-TEC became better and a lot easier to play. Marksman Rifles have little to no point anymore and suffer a lot from the IR buffnerf. Not sure if LO understood how balance works. This stuff should be tested for longer than a week, and feedback should be recognized.

It'll still be abused, rather than being used creatively. It's just going to be more silvers wrapping their ceresco in it, and wearing a basic black suit with a swastika arm band.

I mean, it's not like we had feedback regarding the stuff, and they barely changed it. Not to mention that this took place in.. a week? Definitely not enough to properly test these changes, especially if you change them during said week.

You do realize that the IR changes made the N-TEC even better on range, and more forgiving when fired fully automatic? They didn't patch the meta guns, they buffed them.

Yeet, instead of rebalancing powerful things like IR or the N-TEC, they actually go and buff them instead. What the hell is the use of marksman rifles now? The N-TEC just received a huge buff and now dominates everything except max range. Firerate reduction is a welcome change, but why the hell would you go ahead and increase the range even further?

You're only "cool" if you have the new legendary the week it dropped, so a lot of people actually pay up to 10 mil for the new legendary. You kinda hit the jackpot if you buy a couple JMBs and get the legendary which you can then sell for a high price.. though buying JMBs isn't really smart in the first place.

Not free if you gotta spend ur APB$ my man. You're not spending IRL money, so it's more or less free. If you've played APB for a couple years, 10m shouldn't be a problem. You can also wait a couple months until the price drops down, the gun isn't that strong to be in the higher tiers for ages like the yukon.

Sorry? I'm crying over something being "broken" because I can't use it myself? How is that? Current IR doesn't change anything gameplay wise other than giving you range, and the new one makes everything easier, especially the already borderline-overpowered N-TEC.

What's that supposed to mean Yo don't do that.

It's fine where it is. Should probably be even more expensive. Or not a thing at all.

That's dumb. It's a test server after all, so people should be given all the things they need in order to test stuff.

Fire rate reduction isn't a bad thing, but the increased range is. 7m at IR3 is fine as is.

Rumors say it's a 4 door vehicle. We do need a useful four door vehicle that isn't pioneer.

How so? I've tested it with quite a few weapons and only seen actually being "bad" on a handful. Sniper rifles and marksman rifles, for example.

The way IR works right now in the test servers is pretty much a buff to the N-TEC, and a nerf to almost all the other weapons. If anything, the N-TEC needs a nerf, not a buff.

That is true, considering N-TECs aren't shot at max fire rate, the IR nerf might just make it easier while buffing the range even further. Imo a firerate nerf with the current ranges would be fine, no need for a range buff.

It gives every weapon higher range (if you can still hit things at that range), so it's an advantage. Maybe because... it doesn't have a downside, while almost every other mod does? It worked 8 years because GamersFirst didn't give a single f*ck about game health, balance and optimization.

It makes absolute sense, it has literally no downside to it.

Nice Avatar.

Even without the range increase, the N-TEC already makes the marksman rifles obsolete. The firerate nerf is nice, but the range increase is not. At this point you're just buffing IR instead of nerfing it.

It's one of the weapons that need the most effort to get used to, so most people don't give a crap.

There's already two emotes that can be abused for dabbing.

Though it's mildly accurate, Hue/Sat/Lum doesn't support that many colors.
