Didn't write that about myself, I'm not playing apb since 1,5 years so yeah nice try.

My assumption is very generic and 100% true. You have thought that what you are doing is fun and that you will get away with it but all of the players who have suffered from your "fun" have reported you. LO has fuzzy bunny slapped you and now you are salty because you thought that you won't get punished, simple as that. You crying on the forum won't change anything. If you want to get unbanned contact the support. I'm sure that publicly shaming LO will get anything resolved lmao. And if you don't want to get unbanned then I don't see a point to even make a thread like that other than seeking attention. And if you thought that by making a thread like that you can turn people against LO then you must be 200IQ. Why would people hate LO for banning someone rightfully ? Everyone hates griefers.

How are my stories hypothetical if you are perm banned ?

You know what's sad ? When you are working 8 hours a day and you are coming home and you want to play some APB before bed but you can't because some idiot has decided to ruin the experience for everyone else to have some fun. You thought that you will be a smartass and get a temp ban or a warning at most or you won't get punished at all but it has backfired and now you are perm banned. Think about what you are doing next time. How about just playing the game instead of ruining the experience for others ? Good riddance.

Do yourself a favor and leave apb for other games. I've done it about 1,5 years ago and now I'm only dropping in to check on the progress. UE4 version might not even happen. If LO will continue with their current way of doing things then APB will die during 3.5. Actually it's quite dead already.

I don't believe that it wasn't justified if he got a perm ban. Probably griefed repeatedly for a long time and was hoping to only get a temp ban but LO was just waiting for the reports to pile up and didn't fuc* around and perm banned him so now he's salty. Take responsibility for your actions or just don't grief in the future, simple as that. You have probably ruined a lot of people's moods to deserve a perm ban. It's the same kind of crap like all of those ffbans cheaters claiming that they were innocent.

lmao what are those changes ? LO if you really want to balance the weapons then hire some people who actually know how to play the game and are on the top when it comes to skill and the usage of said guns. Everyone has been saying for months that rfp only requires a range nerf yet you are introducing some ridiculous range buff with a damage nerf. Don't change the base functionality of the weapons. Now you are reaffirming people even more that it's a pocket obir.

What is happening to this game. 2019 and console G4m3rs are crying about nerfing tRu3 0gR3. ogre is like one of the noobest (is that even a word ?) weapons to get ez kills by sitting behind a corner 24/7. Get a grip and learn how to use all the other guns and you won't have to cry.

So it looks cool on showcases but in reality you won't be able to see this skin in the game, it's just way too detailed for a high paced 3rd person game. Detailed skins only make sense in 1st person shooters since you can see them all the time and they are one of the main focal points on the screen That's why simpler skins with cool colors will overall look better because you can see that even from far away and detailed designs like this won't be possible to recognize. Not to mention that the majority of players is running the game on low settings so they can only see the general color of the skin anyway.

Yeah yeah. Just like people are claiming to have hours long footage of me cheating on stream.

It surely would be weird to play without the red crosshair at first but in the end I don't think we even need it for anything. Can't agree on removing the red name though. How else would you be able to distinguish your enemies from people who are out of the mission ? Would be cool though if there was some alternative way of indicating that the player is an enemy without giving the scripts anything to latch onto.

yup. My guess is that OCA was meta for so long that people actually forgot how destructive PMG can be. They will be reminded soon lol.

team wipe purely depends on your luck in how the enemies are positioned but i can be done with a single clip. Everyone claims that PMG is rng so it's fine but this "rng" favors you more often than it doesn't somehow. So if they will nerf OCA people will just switch to PMG once again like in the past, simple as that.

I definitely agree with most people having concerns about EMP being an end game item. Overall the current progression system is super flawed where you are basically getting nothing until R195 which might take months for some people to get. And car gameplay is in the game from the very beginning. Then again to all the people crying about the OCA nerf. OCA is a meta gun for a reason, you won't be able to outttk a good oca player at close range unless you are using OCA yourself. If OCA wouldn't be nerfed then all other SMGs would have to be buffed. And that would create even more problems. And for those concerned with the gameplay being slower, it won't be. It was sped up for few guns by G1 in the first place by introducing stupid buffs. Those guns are now considered meta. When it comes to shotguns they should be more consistent as it was described with the csg as an example. There's nothing worse than landing two seemingly perfect shots up close but then getting a +63 assist and wondering "HOW THE F...". If you can't land a two shot then most of the time you are dead and with how shotguns are currently you can't really land consistent two shots like in the past. Then there's the problem of corner popping and the simplest solution would be to force players to come out of the corner more by either changing the weapon offset or implementing a mechanic which detects if the player is taking cover behind the wall and using that to force the player to reveal themselves more. As it stands now, if you are good at it you are only revealing like a half of your body or even less if you are positioned at a good angle and it happens so fast that most of the time people won't be able to react to the first shot and even if they will react to the second one then only half of your body is sticking out meaning receiving less damage than the other dude. I would also like to see something being done against the crouch spamming as well.

group size

Don't forget extended mag. You can wipe out the entire team with a single clip.

first of all it's not my video, then to see the distance use a reference on the radar from a teammate then if you look at 4:34 and compare player placement on the radar you get the same position rim wise, there's also a car to the right at 57 meters and visible on the radar. it was a 74 assist since the other dude ksed (landed 5 hits, 14.8 dmg per hit if we assume 100 hp, 2 more hits and dude would be dead) then if you go back to the 1:11 and you compare the size of the dude it's about the same as the 4:34 so you can safely assume that it's also around 40 meters Go for it. Played with the pmg even recently and the weapon is still the same, you can snipe people with it.

Are you so dense or do I need to write it down for you how to gain the reference of the distance in that video ?

Since you clearly haven't watched the video let me help you with timestamps: If you see the rims on the radar, people past second rim are around the 40m mark. - 0:40 (around 35+ (using the car as the reference)) - 1:11 (around 40) - 4:34 (around 40)

Can't you just play the game and try it yourself instead of trying to disprove people simply because they didn't record a video for you ? Here a random video from 2014. I'm sure you can find what you are looking for. PMG works the same way today:

OCA is not fine. Non meta smgs can't compete with it. I mean yeah I've seen some obeya macros but macroing ntec or obir ???? they are literally one of the simplest weapons to use.

yeah with IR3 PMG can become a literal sniper smg since it will have 40m+ dropoff , shoots a little slow so it's up to you if you wanna swap it with CJ but overall despite the rng claims PMG can be accurate AF over long ranges. Can't count how many whispers I have received in the past of people being like wtf bro because I was sniping them with just few shots using a PMG at around 35 meters or more with IR3. It was one of the main smgs everyone played with in the past for a reason. So if we don't wanna see another PMG season LO should definitely pay attention to it too if they are going to nerf OCA.

EM3 RS3 CJ2/CJ3/IR3 have fun

Great news overall. I'm really happy that something is finally happening and the communication is back. EMP sounds amazing but the questions are: - how many EMP nades will we have - how long will their effect last - will they be instant like percs or do we have to cook them All of this is very important since EMP would only cause a temporary effect unlike normal grenades which can fully kill people or destroy the cars. EMP in this case would be only useful against cars which puts you at a very high disadvantage against normal players. Since EMP is an electric field it should affect the human body too so why not make players get shocked too and affect them with one of the effects below: -confusing controls, -inability to move -switching weapons -dropping weapons Shotgun rework is very needed and about the corner popping thing, just force people to expose themselves more to be able to shoot from behind the corners. As it is right now, if you are good at corner camping you can expose yourself in such a way that you will be nearly impossible to hit but you will be able to shoot at the other person no problem. Make people have to come out more to actually be able to shoot and problem solved. If you are thinking about OCA nerf then you should also look at PMG if you don't want everyone to simply go back to playing PMG like it was in the past. PMG can be ridiculously strong. Many people will say "oh it's rng so it's ok" but it's not really the case, you can be very very consistent with killing people at even 30-40 meters. That's why some people including me call it PMG sniper rifle.

Game is fine. Enjoy RIOT guys !
