Hot damn, I never thought that I'd ever see someone that shares this opinion with me. I do find it quite "pay2win" when you can nitro the hell out of every objective while free players can't spam nitro as much as premiums. Same story with the field supplier, but that mod became obsolete with the superior deployable ammo box.

Yes? It doesn't make any sense to put palm trees on such a shipping dock, nor does it look good imo.

But it's a shipping dock, and they're perfectly aligned so people have obviously put them there. And that's one of those shipping docks that look like man created concrete islands, without any nature under it.

When do people learn that people have certain fields they're employed in? The dude managing the anti cheat systems isn't going to do anything regarding graphics or the art style.

Not really a fan of the engine upgrade graphics, everythings so oversaturated, many buildings have been retextured into bright colors, there's palm trees growing out of concrete - AT A SHIPPING DOCK! Not to mention that the game looks absolutely awful now that they removed the baked shadows, so there are absolutely no shadows under the bridge in financial or inside buildings, because that whole thing is a "shadow" already.

With APBs hitreg, you can also pump out 10 shots on close range and won't get the kill. Honestly, the only reason why I play the ogre every now and then is because it sounds amazing and is quite fun to shoot. It's actually a mediocre and situational weapon, very limited range, and only useful for defense due to the windup. I really don't understand why people call it pay2win or overpowered. The only thing that makes it "strong" is that it makes bad computers lag, and having cover to windup in.

It's probably more than just a value, as it's using the burst fire rate as its full auto fire rate. I think if you'd change values, the burst would become slower together with the full auto one.

Not pay to win, but it would be appreciated if the yukons fire rate bug would get fixed.

This would be a welcoming change. APBs textures in itself are still fine, but cars and certain clothing items are horrible to look at, especially the interiors of cars.

I think the issue he's talking about is people crouch spamming behind cover so they won't be shot while their weapon can't shoot (i.E. slow firing weapons like the hvr or dmr). It looks dumb as hell and is quite annoying at times, but it's not something I would change.

Seen this a few days ago when people were bombing Yuvie with questions.

He's a criminal. The firebug squasher medal is for killing an enemy completing an "Arson" objective. Commiting arson is something only criminals do. Therefor it's impossible to get it, unless you get it in that one rare mission.

Unfortunately not, but it's very rare.

Usually not, I think the mission description even says that they've supplied you with some. Technically any faction member can do any objective, as long as it's marked as an offense objective.

There is one (or two?) missions in the game, for both factions, where you have to act like you're one of the other faction. For crims it's raiding with the ram bar, and for enforcers it's lighting up someones car, if I recall correctly. I think it's also possible when a crim kills a fellow N5 crim, while he's arsoning something.

Yeah, the whole attempt of bringing in a high TTK district was horrible. They never even tried to fix it, so it would actually be what RTW once was. The current average TTK is perfectly fine to me, and APB should stay that way. It's only the N-TEC that can kill too fast on all ranges imho. It's sometimes faster or more effective than, for example, the Obeya and the OBIR - guns that were designed to fill that gap between assault rifles and sniper rifles, but the N-TEC does that job just fine so why bother with marksman rifles?

We have never discussed pings, items or environments. Stop bringing up things that never were a topic to begin with. Bye.

At this point I'll stop replying to you. You are not capable of understanding what I say, and you have clearly no idea how balancing things work. This discussion is going nowhere. I've said everything about the N-TEC that I think is problematic, and I'll leave it at that. PM me if you wanna continue, but I won't continue cluttering up this topic because of you. Yeah that high TTK district was a joke, and didn't even come close to what RTW was like. Everything was just too slow.

I haven't said every other gun. I'm talking about the weapons that compare to the N-TEC, like some of the other, weaker assault rifles. Depends on what you picture as high TTK. The N-TEC is one of the lowest TTK weapons in the game, and lowering it a bit would bring it down to most of the other weapons. The test server/district to try out potential weapon changes is a very good idea and should be reintroduced to gather as much feedback as possible, but your balance focus shouldn't be 100% on what the players say. Some games have done that before and it's a mess. Doesn't everyone secretly fart under their blanket and then sniff it?

That's not what I said, at all. Please stop making up random things.

Finally someone that knows what he's talking about. In my opinion, the N-TEC kills too fast at most ranges, and should be slowed down a little bit by lowering the recovery time. Then balance all the weak guns around it so they're comparable to the N-TEC, and not just flat-out weaker. I fear that if we balance guns around the current N-TEC, we'll be having tons of weapons that kill incredibly fast with little time to react and outgun your opponent, which results in a game that plays like call of duty, where skill isn't all too important.

Excuse me, what's wrong with you? You keep twisting arguments and make up things I've never mentioned. Why is it suddenly a skill problem? I don't even know how many times I have to explain you what's wrong with the N-TEC. At this point you're either incapable of reading and understanding things, or you're just trolling. Again, versatile doesn't mean overpowered. Theres are a few versatile weapons in APB that compare to the N-TEC, some of these are the FAR, the S1-FA, or the STAR. The N-TEC is better than them in every way.

Haven't been silver since 2011, nor have I ever been crying for nerfs. The only guns I complained about have been nerfed and have never been reverted. Now what's your point on that picture? Of course a good player will be demolishing others with a good weapon. That's not what I'm asking for, and that's literally what the problem of the N-TEC is.

Don't even try to balance out other weapons by equipping a secondary, when the N-TEC doesn't need one to begin with. Why are you suddenly bringing in the most situational weapons in the game? That is true, there are a few versatile all-range weapons in the game, but the N-TEC is a straight upgrade to all of those.

I think you fail to understand that none of these weapons are as versatile as the N-TEC.
