  1. Assuming that LO kept the previous G1 refund/exchange policy then yeah you might be able to have it exchanged for something of equal or less value. I believe they also did a single refund per account as years back I had an ACES SMG refunded so I know that at least at one point it was a thing. Once again that's assuming that LO kept the old policies or have similar ones.


  2. Yeah as said above it's three, not two, so you're almost always going to kill somebody instead of stunning them. It actually only stuns rarely and it's very situational. There's a small frame of time where a CA3 user getting shot by a DMR will get stunned because CA3 only makes their HP regen quicker, not their stamina meaning if timed right a DMR can stun them instead of killing them. Theoretically I'm assuming you can stun somebody with it after they take fall damage but I've personally never done that to anyone in my time using the DMR. But yeah it doesn't need to be changed really. It's too situational to be OP and the amount of people actually using DMR's to begin with is low.


  3. Premium guns imo should stay on Armas but yeah, remove G1C and just charge a flat actual currency rate on them. Or add a "buy tradable" option on Premium Armas weppos so that people can sell them? The company still makes money and more people get to obtain permanent weapons.

    Then for F2P contact available guns I think that those should be able to be bought permanently with APB$ with tier based pricing like vehicles.

    PS. Pls LO bring back the 1 & 2 slot guns on Armas that were on there years back$$


  4. I'm mega OCD and like to sort my inventory and I found a formula as a really tedious work around to it. Basically most weapons that get added to your inventory go to the very top and above the first weapon you have in your inventory when you started. But after a certain amount they'll start to be added to below that weapon and so on. Repeat and you can predict where your weapons will end up in your inventory. I do this and waste like 50k on contact guns every time I get a new perm just to make sure it's "categorized in my inventory properly," lol. And yes I know you can sort by weapon types but I change guns multiple times during missions and using the tab wastes valuable seconds. Easier to just quickly scroll wheel up and down.

    But yeah. This feature would absolutely make my life easier as made obvious by what I just explained lmo


  5. I feel like a minority here with the SBSR comments. I never bothered with the Coroner much cause it felt like a straight downgrade to the IRS but I actually like the IRS. I just use it as I would a DMR and tapfire it at the sweet spot where you don't get the extra recoil and it works pretty well. I know that it's not better than an actual DMR but if they were to give it full movement speed and reduce the weird recoil it would be pretty balanced imo.

    Back on topic though; My vote goes to the Shredder. I actually love the Shredder but I can't think of a real situation where it would ever be worth taking it out to use

    Yeah you're always going to want Premium before buying anything.

    Also trial weapons before buying them permanent but make sure that you're going to buy them within the next 3ish? hours from doing that because you'll get an extra discount on top of the premium one. You'll be saving 30% on permanent weapons in total after having premium and trialing them
    Soo, the 50% discount its pretty much still on i just have to spend 5$ to buy premmium ?
    Not quite 50% but you still save a good chunk of cash by having premium so sort of.

    Wait, it isn't available for ingame currency? That's pretty weird considering the higher tier vehicles are. It definitely shouldn't be gated behind jmbs especially since it's a civilian car.

    It isn't all that surprising. Dolton Montane D 230 and D 430 are both also unavailable (the 2 slot and 4 slot variants for the Montane, the 2-seater pickup truck).
    Thank you for mentioning this. I've been wanting a 4 slot Montane for a long time 😕 But yeah I've been trying to get the Fresno for years and I've never got it. The car shouldn't be hidden behind paid RNG while every other car isn't.

  9. I don't know if that gun would fit in with APB aesthetically but I wouldn't mind a new NFAS reskin. Or at least change the Shredder to just become an NFAS reskin which would fix the issue of it needing a rework.

    Actually a Saiga-12 would probably make a pretty decent NFAS reskin.

    (I don't consider the Thumper a true reskin so I'm not mentioning it on purpose)

  10. Potatoes will be potates.

    Yeah people will still get scammed but for those of us who actually read what's on the screen before randomly pressing buttons we'll finally be able to trade our limited edition "I Met Bacon Man & Lived" T-shirts we've been hoarding in exchange for legendaries without risking loss. Glorious days we now live in


  11. Contrary to the post above I only know one person who got banned and then unbanned after being falsely manually banned by a GM (I was even shown the email where he was told he'd be unbanned if he wiped his harddrive and promised not to cheat again, anyone on around 2013ish? probably remembers this period where that was offered) and he had his cash and JT removed. That's all I know

    the dmr is pretty well balanced, especially the dmr av

    id rather not see it changed tbh
    Been using the DMR for years and can confirm this. People underestimate the DMR and it's fine as is. Buffing it would make it even stronger than it is as of now (I'm talking about the DMR AV to be specific) so I agree that it shouldn't be touched otherwise it would probably become a bigger issue than the current HVR assuming people actually took time to learn it

  13. It's really not THAT bad of a gun. Hang on it to it though since based on the recent weapon balance news, the underused guns are slowly going to be getting changes. Shredder isn't on that list yet but at some point it should be. In the meantime it's still a fun gun to use in Fightclub

  14. A. Can't sort my weapon inventory.

    B. No button to resend permanent-owned guns on Armas

    C. That guy who screams at you in teamchat over voip and starts making actual threats at you because your team is losing, as if it will help anything or as if a video game matters that much to begin with


  15. IMO if you want a speedy zip-around compact car then go for the Vaquero. The Vaquero is a little bit harder to drive but once you master the handling on it then it reaches its top speed almost instantly, can go in reverse as fast as it can go forward, can very quickly do a 180 degree turn and then reach its top speed again. It's also slightly more durable than the Mikro having an extra 50hp though that doesn't change much as that only equals like, 3 NTEC shots difference.

     

    Although if you prefer the look of the Mikro then yeah go for it as the Mikro is also very good.

    Sidenote: Both these cars have low hp in general so if you can get a 2-3 slot version of either one then imo slap Armored Engine 3 and Chassis Strengthening 3 on them for a big boost to their lifespan

  16. Yeah if I recall correctly from the Q&A stream then everyone is getting unbanned when the next anti-cheat gets implemented as long as they weren't banned for non-cheating reasons like credit card fraud and etc.

     

    Only issue now is waiting for the Battleye patch. There's no publicly known release date for it as of now so just sit back and wait I guess


  17. What Yukon fire rate bug? The gun is supposed to full-auto outside of marksman. Am I potatoe and missing somethin?

    I agree that HVR should get a slight nerf though. Only very slight. It's not as OP as people say it is, especially compared to the DMR which is technically already better.


  18. This is probably more relevant to us lore junkies but I would love to see more lore friendly police things added. In APB lore Enforcers are more along the lines of legalized vigilantes and are technically above the SPPD.

    But that doesn't mean those of us who like to roleplay SPPD should be left in the dark, right? For example, as seen on some contacts, there's a badge necklace that isn't available to players. In the current G1-era login menu, Enforcers get a Praetorian themed login screen with what I can only assume are SPPD members standing around on guard. They have badges on their uniform shirt shoulders and what I so far know as unique symbols on their bullet proof vests.

     

    Also, as seen in this older trailer, is an SPPD police car 

     

     

    So what I really want for the future is SPPD preset clothing I guess? At least from the police role. Lorewise it makes some sort of sense. Miguel Estebano for example used to be SPPD but left in favor of the Enforcers because it had more freedom and perks to it. But that doesn't necessarily say that all Enforcers ingame shouldn't be able to represent the otherwise NPC-non-existent SPPD.

     

    In shorter wards, it would be cool if we got preset SPPD outfits and maybe a few vehicles. Probably attributed to the Cop Role. Police Clans and RP'rs have been a thing from the start of APB and giving us some first party love would be nice.

     

    Thank you and much love to the badge bearers.

    Night and day cycles are already in game though

    I haven't played console APB since Xbone release but at least back then they had the day/night cycle disabled for technical reasons.

    I'd be pretty sad if they got rid of it for PC UE3.5


  20. I doubt the TV show or the 1987 video game with the name APB matters. Wasn't it already just called "APB" before G1 bought it? Not to mention that it's an actual term used outside of recreational media so if for whatever reason someone tried to threaten legal action over the use of the three letter name "APB" it would get thrown out the window by the judge in no time.

     

    I'd rather the game just go back to being called simply "APB." That's how everyone seems to refer to it anyway. I almost never hear the Reloaded being added in
