Nite

Wait really? How am I just now learning this.... IMO any perc improvements need to come at the cost of perc stamina damage, the PIG + Perc situation rn is horrid

NL9 as in the stun-shotgun? Well, it is a shotgun, so its gonna be as weird/spotty as pump shottys in APB tend to be. On top of which its designed to be a 3-click job at best IIRC (whereas the JG/CSG are 2 click jobs at best).

NTEC is practically a semi-auto rifle 90% of the time after all

STAR/FAR + DMR-SD/AV of course

I did get reverse QS with Colby 45. > Strife to work occasionally....

Yeah its a useful mod no doubt, especially with premium. But it does take up your orange mod slot, so its not without cost. I use spotter religiously these days and it is bugged beyond belief. Half the time I'm trying to spot an enemy dude and even with my crosshair sitting on them for near 10 seconds I get nothing. Then I have to actually shoot at them,at which point it works, but of course just gives me away almost immediately. Other times I'll be spotting a dude that's not moving and supposedly becuz he ain't moving I get nothing. Again, until I shoot at him. Then sometimes it works, but only after I wiggle my crosshair around on the dude like some high-on-weed idiot for a couple secs does it actually tag them. I love the mod for its team value, but jesus good goddamn the bugginess.

On top of which APB's forum was always decent enough to shortcut to the most recent reply in any thread so early posts are even more likely to only ever be seen once...

Man, the Reloaded Mod Squad was such buuuuulllsheeeeetttt Glad those days are over

Hey, I'm in that screenshot! Niiiiice.

IMO silvers can use weapons properly but they're not consistent enough to maintain the same performance match to match. If you reeallly can't use a weapon properly any at all then that would be bronze level. As for what to base beliefs on, for me personally its a mix of discussing and listening to other players observing how some weapons perform vs. others in the same category observing how weapons are used against myself some critical thinking No reason any other player (gold or silver) couldn't follow the same steps.

The oblivion is actually decent, given the right mods. It won't beat a Dog Ear but most of the time I didn't need it to anyway. Aside from that though I also use gimmick tier/crap tier weapons like the Harbinger, Strife, current!Anubis and others which I don't do nearly as well with. I cannot agree with this stance because there's simply no reason why a lower threat player cannot make informed, sensible observations about the current weapon balance landscape simply because they don't have the best or most consistent aim. Threat is broken in ways sure, but its not like it doesn't function any at all. So there will have to be losers who are silver (or who flip between silver/gold) to go along with the winners who stay gold all the time.

What if its someone who spends all their playtime using the weak/shitty weapons?

If they allowed you to pause premium time, or even better, let it only tick down while your account is logged in, people wouldn't feel so much like the money spent on premium is going to waste because server conditions prevent you getting use out of it.

I don't think this is a good example, the guy who rushed you had a good second and change between both HVR shots to down you but couldn't land anywhere near enough hits with a Manic to get the job done. Hell he couldn't even shave off half your bar. Replace whoever that was with a better player and an OCA and you would be almost surely dead. Not that getting CQC killed with an HVR isn't annoying, but poor enemy accuracy won you that first kill more than anything else.

I dont think he's being all that serious about it honestly

First i'm even seeing Matt Scott's forum profile banner image tbh

This reminds me of the time when I suggested back in the old forums that points could be earned for actions that specifically count as defending objectives to try and balance out point accumulation and instead we got some watered down solution where you get x points every so often for simply being the defending team. Wasn't totally happy with how that turned out, in retrospect (was still better than nothing though)

Minor note: Kismet is more than just a UI solution, its a complete visual scripting system akin to (was actually replaced by) Blueprint Script in Unreal 4. You can build anything with it.

Well it doesn't take much to guess that this is another "max rank/max threat vs. noobs" thread. All I can tell you is that revisions to the matchmaking and threat system are in the pipeline.

I actually agree tbh Problem is I also think it competes enough against the big HVR at 80+m distance but I doubt anyone else on these forums shares that idea (maybe im not skilled enough to see how it doesn't?)

Maybe its time to ask a different question: what kind of buffs do we need to give the DMR for people to consider it a counter to the HVR?

Hmmmmm, you're right. In that case, mods please move this to the Breakwater Galleria forum section :^)

The crouch shot quick-switch will still be very much doable. The jump-shot bs later down in the vid may not be however, and I'm quite fine with that.

Mods please move this to off-topic...

OTW is usually something that only sticks around for a limited time before the next set of gameplay changes get pushed to live - at least that's how all MMORPGs I know of handle it. APB ought to do the same IMO, there's no way having the test server where all the content is unlocked being accessible indefinitely can be good for business
