So I had this crazy idea.

there won’t be anymore clutching a kill at 1% hp because you’ll be a sitting duck - hit someone with an hvr in cqc and they won’t even be able to run away or fight back effectively

 tbh if ltl wasn’t already so underpowered i’d want the low stamina effect removed from that as well

 

What if it was a specific mod for the S-247 "Oblivion"? Like a legendary version or something, 5 shots to kill instead of 4, with staggering damage Edited July 20, 2018 by BlitzKitty

it would fit far better on a new unique legendary gun but it’s something that’s either going to be overpowered or useless tbh, anything that slows movement in apb is pretty much a death sentence

I'm sure the mods can find one way or another to delete this post

Mods seem to have taken the day off.

The thing is, I feel like that's something the game needs right now. I'm tired of playing this dull meta where it's just meh.... like Matt said in the Q&A.... wouldn't it be better to explore ways different weapons could be MORE overpowered in certain situations? The reason I would say this idea fits an Oblivion is because it fits the concept in it's description. "Fast-firing and pinpoint-accurate, the S-247 ensures that no matter how far you run, the steady hand of oblivion will be coming for you." 

Hell I was up for that crazy idea back in like 2012 where they were talking about making the HVR only firable in a stationary crouched position after .4 seconds, but it would be 1000 DMG per shot.

Jesus I hope they remove polls.

I don't know, I think given the views of most of the community here, I've come up with an interesting implementation that would have good team tactical uses, as well as not destroy the game or be too over powered, especially considering that this only works on one shot per player, and it has reverse scaling based on whether or not they were already tagged by your secondary or someone else, it would give people a reason to carry around low TTK weapons, and diversify gameplay quite a bit.

My problem with the polls is this... what good is seeing what 1% of the community thinks?
Most players don't use the forums, and even of those that do, most aren't going to vote.

Well if we're going for the realist view here, this entire post is pointless because what I'm proposing is a coding nightmare and it'll never happen.
I try to stay away from those dark revelations in the depressing depths of my brain.

I think that this technically is already implemented. We have the stamina system (used by LTL) and weapons already have a stamina damage. 

Now, do I think that this should be implemented as you have described? No, as the game's meta, and it's processes shouldn't be changed to emulate another game (Counter Strike) in a manner that the two games are not similar.

It's not necessarily a coding nightmare. We already have the ability to slow players down. STAMINA. So, the since the system already exists, we don't need to work too much harder to modify it, it's really down to why, and what. 

The why, I disagree with.

read the poll, we've already decided not to implement it to regular gameplay

Well... with only 8 people who voted... that seems like a majority of people.

I merely was wanting to contribute to the conversation...?
Although, I do wish stamina damage would have more of an effect. 
You just had 85% of your health knocked out of you. Should you really be able to run full speed?... Edited July 21, 2018 by Sergsininia

Can't wait to be an actual cripple after getting tagged by an HVR then.

Jokes aside, this system works in CS because in most cases a player stands completely still to shoot accurately, APB is much more fast paced when it comes to shooting, especially in CQC so I don't think a system like this would work.

Yeah well thats for joker carbine but any weapon that needs marksman gets the slow pace.

Yes, welcome to APB. They have a point though: The idea is terribad.
Good thing you asked before suggesting something nobody wants though.

EDIT: Your idea/suggestion/whateveryouwannacall it is trash :D <3

We've had proper polls with pretty strong participation counts though haven't we? Like that Car Spawners poll from some time ago

I dunno how we'd solve the "forum members are a minority of any playerbase" issue but a well thought-out poll and discussion topic can be useful

also the day the Oblivion gets any kind of slow-down mechanic to it is the day it eclipses the ISSR-B and ObeyaCR both

[Shyloid 24]

Doesn't Less Than Lethal already do this in a way, by draining your stamina points? .-. I know if you 90 a crim with LTL they cant sprint for a short bit.

[crusade 89]

We really don't need people calling ideas "trash."

That being said, this game does not need more gimmicks. It needs refinement, and more content in general.
