    i thought u meant apb was closing down aka end of service

    Would that really surprise anyone at this point? This game is over a decade old with borderline no development done in almost that entire time. 

    The fact the maps haven't changed 1 pixel since I was a teenager is mind boggling... There's STILL the same UI glitch for over 6+ years now.

     

    EDIT: For the record, LO is the best thing that happened to this game cause G1, driven by the winds of their incompetence, 100% drove it into the ground.

    Banning someone from saying whatever LO consider toxic is the real dangerous behavior here.

    No, what's dangerous is how people think they can just say and do whatever they want and everyone has to just deal. 

     

    APB isn't the first game that doesn't allow toxicity--this goes way beyond our own little community.

    Stop trying to make it seem like LO is power tripping. And stop acting like entitled children when you lose a match, cause LO doesn't owe you anything when you act ugly.

     

    Do some of you even know what sportsmanship is? You got banned... Have some grace, jeez.

    Actually something i mentioned to a dev last month, lol.  Likely making it tie into the in-vehicle accuracy modifier and tweaking it for heavy weapons.  Heavy weapons, more so AV centered ones, are rather strong when car surfing and they arguably shouldn't be.

    In my opinion, I think car surfing is fine. It's not even that good (zero cover) unless it's a mission with a mobile objective or you're chasing/fleeing.

    Gravity hurts a lot (no HL) and so does losing Val tablets. I've never said to myself, "Wow, Car Surfer is strong." cause I don't care, it's impact is minimal.

     

    The real issue is when objectives/VIPs aren't locked into an area and they start running 1,200+ meters with the briefcase on Waterfront and an ALIG on top of a Pioneer. If they were actually locked into a contested 400m² zone, then it wouldn't be such a frustrating tactic and people couldn't drag it out or make the opp wait 15 minutes until the VIP mission timer ends... Zzz.

    Ravan and Cosenza would actually just be better cause 4 seats instead of two.

    Every 100 missions the 4 seats do come in handy for about 30 seconds, but tbh 4-doors in a world where car surfer exists makes it basically irrelevant.

     

    I'm almost max on my 2nd crim and I can recall maybe 4-5 times where those extra seats made any real impact. Like R3 said tho, it's usually just a fantastic way to eat a Conc Grenade and have your whole team cease to exist + lose all initiative on the objective(s).

    Let me lay something down for you. I don't know about back in the good old days of APB, but these days APB players ARE JERKS. You would never see racing become a thing in this game as players would quickly find out that ramming in APB is very effective and disabling another player's car. Soon the races would start and you will quickly find yourself getting pit-maneuvered before the first corner just so some guy can get his 5JT.

    Those 5JT will be mine!

    The Macchina Cosenza is arguably the worst car in the game,but it is given to new players as a gift.Due to being a gifted car,you would expect it to be better than the Macchina Calabria(the default car) ,but it is clearly a much worse car than the calabria. So yeah buff the macchina cosenza or remove it as a gifted car.

     

    I dont have a lot of idea about balancing in general but I think the biggest problem with this car is how little torque it has.

    The ideal point would be making it as good as the han veo.

     

    This will improve a little bit the experience for new players,and it will be helpful for the missions where this car appears.

     

    Honestly, some of the cars are unrealistically terrible; they need to overhaul the stats of most cars, cause there's a clear meta and it's a bit boring.

    I answer - I come to play at my own pace, with NORMAL players.

    Curious argument, considering you're playing a PvP game... Which the whole point of player vs. player is to outpace your opponent, but it seems you're the one who can't handle the pace your opp is setting for you. And before you get defensive, there's nothing wrong with losing; just learn from it and if you don't derive enjoyment from the activity take a holiday, permanent or otherwise.

     

    The only "/forfeit" that should be allowed are in cases of a 1-vs-1; they're a joke and not at all what this game was built for.

    free name changes would result in enmass cheaters swapping names like a fat kid eatting at a buffet so they have a hard time getting banned

    I don't think a hungry-hungry-hippo at a buffet is really 'swapping', probs more accurate to say they'd be 'consuming', but I get your meaning, lmao.

     

    Just make the query only target accounts of X age or older and only accounts in good standing with no previous violations. Voila!

    Yes and it's a really shit system that is hard to work around becuase some want the same name for two toons and will use I and l i think a font change would be in mind, but might me changing all of the games font and i have no wishs to place someone in that kind of hell

    Very true! I use 'the same name' for two characters as well, would suck if they altered it at this point.

    It's kind of a lose-lose with that solution too if you think about it; unless free name changes were complimentary relative to character roster size(s) I suppose...

     

    Idk, food for thought ig. ^^

    1) Of course Im bored. Everyone is. They recycle the same old shit year in year out. Nothing noticable has changed in APB since they were forced to remove JMB's by the EU lmao, thats the only big change thats ever happened since they took ownership.
    2) I honestly dont hate myself. Because I grew up in a time where if someone said something like that to you, you just brushed it off and kept going about your day. If your best friend came up to you and said it straight faced, then maybe itd be an issue, but not in this case.

    3)You'd be really surprised at how many slurs are freely thrown around in PM's, chief. Telling someone to off themselves is farrrrrrrrrr better than the things Ive read in chat and PM's just this week alone.

    4)What I said wont affect anyone, and the complete lack of people who've ever self harmed because an internet rando told them to, proves it. Feel free to find a few cases stating otherwise, then do the math and apply it to the video game crowd.

    5) You could absolutely measure how far a rock sinks in the ocean. Put a pressure gauge on it.  Bad metaphor, because Ive never read, seen, or heard of a single instance where it has ever legitimately affected anyone.

    6) LO didnt want to unban me to begin with, so again, I dont care.

    1. Boredom is a lack of inner resources.
    2. Yeah, it's called societal progression; turns out telling people to self-harm isn't cool anymore. It's a videogame anyway, why you so mad? Grow up or improve your life some more so you don't lose your composure when a frivolous computer game doesn't go your way.
    3. Doesn't make what you did right.
    4. Obviously it did, because he took the time to report you for telling him/her to take their own life over a silly 10+ year old videogame.
    5. Willful ignorance (nor anonymity) doesn't absolve you either.
    6. You do tho. That's why you're here!

    And judging from literally just this encounter Id ban you too. See how that control works? Lat0r gator, one day you'll realize that bandwagoning is just called being "trendy".

    Ban me for what? Your 'point' about trends makes zero sense.

     

    And again, you keep saying that because someone else did a similar thing and didn't get punished you shouldn't be held accountable, but I'm here telling you that's not how the law works. You agreed to obey the Terms of Service and you repeatedly broke it, culminating in telling someone to self-harm over a videogame.

     

    The irony is, you've literally become what you're saying is so wretched about "99.9%" of other communities.

     

    Call me trendy, I don't care. I feel gratification knowing your banned.

    Hell, I just got banned today for telling someone to off themselves. In a video game. Where all players are anonymous.

    Anonymity doesn't excuse ugly conduct, despite your incessant whining that it somehow absolves you.

     

    Hopefully now you learned something--actions have consequences.

    According to LO, I was permanently banned for telling someone to off themselves. ONCE. Why this is worthy of a perm ban Ill never understand.

    Because it's their game and they don't owe you anything... Judging from literally just this encounter the ban was justified.

     

    Lat0r gator, one day you'll realise that toxic people online are just projecting their own personal unhappiness.

    Define being "arbitrary" but in nonimpartial environment.

     

    Anyway with a Fbw alone,  in a 1vs 2, I can kill and killed 2 players alone several and several times and I am pretty sure I am not the only one.

    So now what we'll tell the Fbw outperform the .45 and need it a nerf too?

    Uh, yeah...

    define 'outperforms' I win with the fbw against .45 users often since if they miss even 1 shot and or aren't shooting at the max fire interval I out ttk them.

    Not one for anecdotal hypotheticals... since you "often" don't miss, but they ofc do and your RoF is perfect; my point is that the .45 is just a stronger choice overall.

     

    If two players of equal skill fought with those guns, in most situations I'd argue the .45 wins. Especially when cover is accounted for as it's able to deal more damage in a shorter window of time than the FBW could. Especially at distances of 36+ meters where the FBW requires 7 shots to kill and the .45 still only needs 5.

     

    Only very, very recently did it FINALLY get nerfed in range and it was by accident...

    Why are you being disrespectful and mocking him? He gave his opinion and was on-topic--I even agree with him too.

    Make it an event and see how it goes.

    Anyone got any accompanying lore ideas?

     

    It could be fun to try for a while again and lore-wise I'd presume it was just criminals being crims and corruption in the Enfo hierarchy.

     

    Tangent, but: Something I liked in the crim progression was they talk about you going from a thug to a thinker. Even the contacts themselves talk about making big changes and restoring the city via dialogue or mail. People like Birth, with his sort of resources, would likely have ties high up in San Paro--I could see some potential corruption.

    >available for ingame currency

    >P2W

     

    So you have no clue what P2W means, gotcha.

    Huh? That was only very recently--it's been ravaging the player base for years. The fact a new player has to farm hundreds of thousands of JT to get even a half dozen of these guns (which are character bound, afaik) is still absolutely nasty to me.

     

    And yeah, you can sit there and say it's not P2W (even tho some guns aren't in the JT store and only available in ARMAS), but the fact remains that it's a horrifying grind for a single pistol that outperforms the basic one. It just doesn't feel or look good, but the vast majority of the community use it...

     

    The sad reality is that so many have already paid for it; now they don't want it to get nerfed.

    Even you, I bet you use a silly primary and use the .45 as your answer to everything except long range, because it's just that good.

    There's also something weird going on with ammo boxes. My character stands up immediately after opening the ammo box, but then crouched down again and my inventory opens.

    That's a newer bug that was recently introduced with the EAC update. Arresting also seems to be impacted where the first "arrest attempt" doesn't actually trigger the capture and only the animation.

    I wouldn't consider recent weapon balances a positive thing. They accidentally nerfed the range too much on the .45, then decided to leave the bug in place. It went from having reasonable dropoff damage, to now dealing no damage if a player moves a few meters. The better jump shoot accuracy on the Star and Far would not have been needed if they never nerfed the jump shooting to begin with. It's also not a big enough change to affect combat.

    "Reasonable"? Ya, I completely disagree. The .45's over tuned presence has made all of the other pistols worse just for it existing. I can drop a guy from 40 meters in 1 second with my sidearm... That's insane TTK. There are people so good with it that it's stronger than most primaries in the =<40m range.

     

    In my opinion, the .45 is arguably the closest to being P2W at its worst & downright overpowered at its best--There's a reason its the meta sidearm, it's bonkers.
