killerskull 111 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Being able to purchase perma weapons with ingame currency (earned ingame)? I respect that, I think thats the best implementation done by the team yet. I had a feeling someday perma weapons would come to jt, so I didnt buy anything from the store. I wanted to buy body kits but I dont like the respawn costs on cars so I never bought them. Also, no rocket launcher huh? Edited July 31, 2019 by killerskull 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigrix 308 Posted July 31, 2019 I'll copy my post here: I think they've made a step in the right direction. Profitability should not come from weaponry imo, but from clothing packs, services, premium, decals and other non-weaponry related merchandise/services. Because even if veterans understand that most armas weapons are just duplicates of existing f2p guns, the general public and a new player or anyone looking into APB, won't understand that fact and will just see a game that sells P2W weaponry on it's website for $$. I'd much rather that guns in general was all earned in-game. It gives incentives to play and it gives the game a better outlook. No-one can be apphauled that they're selling clothes/design packs etc etc for $$, that's what every F2P game does (and should do in fairness). Besides, I think in the long run, LO is planning to focus on premium, rather than filling armas with new content every few months to "earn". I think they wanna find ways to make premium more useful and one way could definitely be the ability to earn more JT's and therefore access more guns sooner, than non-prem accounts. Indirectly, it's same as putting guns on armas for $$, but it's an organic way of doing it, that won't make the game look bad or give the taste of P2W for new players checking APB out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agrotech ACES JT2 Agrotech ACES JT1 PR1 ... Agrotech ACES Rifle JT2 Agrotech ACES Rifle JT1 PR1 ... Colby PMG-SD 28 'Hush' JT2 Colby PMG-SD 28 'Hush' JT1 PR1 ... Golden N-HVR 762-SD Dvah Golden N-HVR 762-SD Dvah JT2 PR1 ... N-ISSR-B 'Wisp' JT2 N-ISSR-B 'Wisp' JT1 PR1 ... Raptor 45 'Hawk' JT3 Raptor 45 'Hawk' JT1 PR1 ... nice changes in general but I'm not too fond of this naming scheme. I like the slotted weapon nomenclature from the regular contacts more, (Nol, Adeen, Dvah.. R&D I/II/III.. JG 840/940/1040) also the silencer type preset mods shouldn't affect Joker Ticket prices because GMs have said before that they are just placeholder mods, i.e. a player can't buy a silencer mod (and even if they could slot it into a weapon it wouldn't do anything.) I'm not nitpicking just offering up my opinion. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrandonBranderson 672 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Who's this Paladon dude? Are they new? If that's the case then welcome! 88 weapons just became available for free, that's a pretty damn good update. Also: Secondary open slots 2 hours ago, Paladon said: Not yet, but we wanted to future-proof the pricing convention. I know probably not gonna happen anytime soon, but its neat to think about.

Deadliest 388 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) This is a good direction for those new or can't afford weapons but I believe you did this for the intention to encourage players to play riot? but somehow players will just populate fight club more for JT.

Kewlin 692 Posted July 31, 2019 3 hours ago, Revoluzzer said: One the one hand I commend you for using a naming system that makes sense. On the other hand I would've preferred if you had kept it in line with the original naming system (i.e. manufacturer specific labels for upgraded versions). But then again, Gamersfirst already wrecked havock within this system, so you'd have to rename lots of weapons to get them back in line. This. These names are absolutely awful, lol. Especially, for example, the N-HVR 762-SD DVAH JT2 PR1: the 'SD' already says that it's silenced, and the 'DVAH' already denotes a total of 3 mods/mod slots, allowing you to deduce that the gun has a silencer and two open slots. And don't tell me this is to make it easier for newbies, because "N-HVR 762-SD DVAH JT2 PR1" will just confuse the fuck out of a new player. Please just use normal naming for open slots, and replace 'PR' with 'JT' for presets. Also, can we please, for the love of fucking God, get a non-gold N-HVR 762-SD DVAH on ARMAS already? . . . Oh, and I haven't logged in yet, but please tell me you aren't increasing pricing for the "preset mods" on the ACES guns, which are just a way to not allow people to put HB on them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to be soliciting feedback from players to rework the overall naming conventions across ARMAS, the Joker Store, and regular guns. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
