TTK is pretty fast already. a lot of the times there's no fighting anymore. it's just about who can jump who fast bam dead in 0.00000001nanosecond
a lot of the gun of this game is dodging and learning to dodge and fighting and tactics
seems to be losing that. if ttk got any lower we'd just spawn automatically dead

also turning shotguns into sniper rifles.. please was that just a practical joke @MattScott is playing on us? why are we getting two shotted from 10million light years away? the JG is practically a DMR-AV at this

While I'm not a proponent of increasing TTK, I sure as hell think we need to stop the TTK creep that's been going on, because pretty damned soon 0.5s is going to be the standard TTK for CQC guns. The OCA needs to be reverted and we need to stop getting faster and faster guns.

Remember when the LCR was able to out TTK sniper rifles? Now the ISSR-B is just as fast or faster and has a lower STK and better accuracy. APB just has too much power-creep.

I agree with Kewl on the creeping TTK. Alas, Gamersfirst done just as Little Orbit is doing.... Tampering with guns so as to sell Joker Boxes and other goods. That is why we have had the TTK creeping effect. 
Anyway, anyone that can prove me wrong on this please be my guest.

Like 'all' I am glad the work is being done on APB. Guess you have to break a few eggs as the old saying goes. Edited September 5, 2018 by LYoNX369

Now they are just switching up to push sells of new Joker boxes and weapons. Anyway, anyone that can prove me wrong on this please be my guest.

while the new guns are both shotguns they have a .7s ttk and 1.05s ttk, that plus orbit currently testing versions of the oca and jg/csg with higher ttks make me think that orbit is pretty aware of the negative effects of pushing low ttk guns

LOL I won't even say what I want about that comment. It is not balanced. They are making the shotguns Noob friendly. Lets call it what it is.

aside from the change to pellet mechanics the new showstopper and showstopper 'thunder' are both very well balanced imo

Hoppin back in tonight!
Happy to see the game actually being updated a few times a month, rather than maybe once a year.

Good on ya Matt!
