16 minutes ago, Ketog said:idk , it seems normal to me
those are images i found online , but you can see that docks where i am are indeed man made islands with vegetation added on it , we can see it a bit on the pictures , but sadly i didn't find a pic of those palm trees
EDIT: actually i found one
Those aren't even growing out of concrete, which the waterfront ones are. Literally no grass or soil around it whatsoever.

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.

it might sound absurd to you , but palm trees can really grow anywhere
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.

17 minutes ago, CookiePuss said:Yeah.
I wonder if it ever will though?
Like how much time does it take to change one value on one weapon?
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.

8 minutes ago, MoeEveryWeek said:Just shoot anyone doing the obj basically, might get it by chance.
You do this normally anyways lolHe'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.

4 minutes ago, 悲しい春 said:I do recall people being unsatisfied with how G1 didn't apply the proper patch in each districts, thus unable to properly test out higher TTK.
But you get my point, I find the current ttk a gray zone for me. I neither dislike nor like it. Dirty Bomb is an example of a TTK I like prefer, it enforces more mouse aiming and tracking imo.
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.

3 minutes ago, Ken2 said:And thats exactly what im talking about. Star does mostly well at shorter ranges than ntec... as jg is better the closest you are to your enemy compared to pmg.
A simple example would be then: nerf pmg or oca because jg doesnt have enough range to kill those weapons at 30m. Does it sound fair to you?
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.
1 minute ago, 悲しい春 said:Meant high TTK as in RTW ttk or the old high ttk districts. I remember being fascinated and baffled by how nice they were.
Yeaaaaaah, I kinda forgot mid-way about the 'focusing balance around what players say' part and how messy that can be.
Yeah that high TTK district was a joke, and didn't even come close to what RTW was like. Everything was just too slow.

5 minutes ago, Ken2 said:You said, nerf ntec, buff every other gun to ntec level. Thats called variety.
Did you know that inside weapons category, there are at least 3 kind of weapon for diferent ranges?
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.
5 minutes ago, 悲しい春 said:That would bring up the high TTK topic again, which is sadly a far away galaxy as many don't like this approach to the game.
Honestly now, I haven't played APB that extensively in a year or so, forgot how quick the NTEC is. A slower recovery time could work out quite well, but as I've said, a test server that has weekly changes applied to it (community as a whole decides on changes by voting) would work wonders!
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.

1 minute ago, Ken2 said:So yeah, lets every gun a ntec and make the game BORING. Really good idea!!!
Its imposible to get killed as fast as you mention at more than 40m with the current character speed and cover you can get. If you get killed all the time by ntec at that kind of range, then its really a SKILL issue.
That's not what I said, at all.
Please stop making up random things.

9 minutes ago, 悲しい春 said:That's the thing, if you start the nerf circle, there has to be a gun that becomes dominant over the other. A test district, as mentioned by the user you've quoted, would be fantastic to test out the issues people have with some guns.
I find that the NTEC's current state is a nice balance point, from which on other guns are supposed to be buffed and/or nerfed. It's supposed to be the most versatile gun and most played gun, like the AK in CS (IMO)
The Scout part, as I've made a post on it as well, I disagree on. A compromise would be to make it like in CS, but that would be essentially the same thing just a bit worse.
The HVR, on the damage part you're 100% right, heck I'd even try out 720dmg, like in the old high ttk servers. You have a point on the noscoping part as well. You can noscope to extreme ranges, nerfing it by making the crosshair bigger (a.k.a decreasing crouching accuracy as mentioned), would be interesting to play test at least.
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.

2 minutes ago, Ken2 said:If you are outguned by ntec at cqc while you are using pointman, you have skill problems. If you are outgunned at mid range against ntec using oscar or carabine, you have skills problems. If you are outgunned by ntec at long range while using most marksman or sniper guns, you have skill problems.
Notice that not every gun is able to just go outside in an open area and just take down anyone. For example obir requires you get cover all the time, its amazing for pop up/corner to corner fights.
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.
Just now, Ken2 said:Is not a problem, you yourself agreed that being versatile doesnt mean its op. In good hands can be troubly, yes, but it can be outplayed at any range by any gun. it doesnt EXCELS at nothing.
Nerfing its quality will get a pop drop just like the last time its been nerfed and rebuffed once again.
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.

Just now, Ken2 said:IMPOSSIBLE to reason with a silver that just limits himself to cry nerf a single weapon for YEARS and when its done, it gets reversed in no time because people realize that the gun it may be not as good or people who are good still doing well with it despise the nerf like it can be show in this IMAGE:
Post nerf, cj3, no hs3.
Its not the size of the gun its the player using it...
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.
2 minutes ago, Ken2 said:You can't make every weapon work at every range. The less we need are pointman guns outguning nhvrs at 90m... you are ridiculous.
That's not what I'm asking for, and that's literally what the problem of the N-TEC is.
So Ive been playing without premium and its complete hell.

Easy fix. Raise the general payout per mission, but lower the percentages of premium so there isn't such a huge gap anymore, and premium users would get just as much as before.
