It's the principle of the matter. its being added to the joker store and normal armas purchasing before the jb variant is even getting released, and theres additional f2p variants coming later what exactly is the problem if the jb variant is balanced?

YeOldLegends 51 Posted August 9, 2018 27 minutes ago, MattScott said: Please don't. I can confirm that the Showstopper is initially going to be available in ARMAS and as a leased base variant through the Joker store. Unfortunately, we're running behind on the Thunder variant which needed a unique skin. It will be available in a new JMB. It was our first time organizing anything like this, so the new JBM will launch next week. We have some other variants planned for in-game, but those are a bit longer term and farther off. Thanks, Matt Support the developers. RMT doesn't I second this notion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just when I thought you might be different to every other dev in the industry, you go and continue contributing to this absolute cancer. Heavy loss of respect for your company. So, you are one of those who just want freebies forever, huh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no problems paying for microtransaction content, as my Euryale attests (I'd also have the following few tiers of loyalty rewards as well, if they existed). I have a problem with releasing gambling features in video games, which is a viewpoint shared by anyone with half a functioning brain cell as it's obvious how damaging such features are to the industry as a whole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont mind JMBs as a concept. I know many players who have never had to buy premium thanks to them, and of course there are the vehicle unlocks as well. Plus, legendaries suck. The in game guns and maybe 2 armas weapons are superior. So you only buy JMBs if you want to, and never because you need to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not free if you gotta spend ur APB$ my man. You're not spending IRL money, so it's more or less free. 1 hour ago, Keshi said: good luck paying 10m If you've played APB for a couple years, 10m shouldn't be a problem. You can also wait a couple months until the price drops down, the gun isn't that strong to be in the higher tiers for ages like the yukon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davess 19 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, Hexerin said: I predict via an event for two of them, and the third being ARMAS. I highly doubt JMB, as MattScott has implied on multiple occasions that he doesn't like them. MattScott deserves a round of applause for not supporting gambling EDIT: I was wrong Edited August 9, 2018 by Davess 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Matt Sorry for being late but im personally curious if a base version will available through ARMAS. I kinda have an odd disdain for having to lease base weapons sometimes.

As obvious as Matt stating that free versions will be released in due time? Is that weapon all that of a necessity so you can't play the game anymore, if you don't get it? Well, that's my point. Matt stated he will basically attend microtransaction lovers and free to play players. What part of a brain does it take to understand it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Compared to csgo where you pay 2.50 for a key and can get a skin worth 5 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You kinda hit the jackpot if you buy a couple JMBs and get the legendary which you can then sell for a high price.. though buying JMBs isn't really smart in the first place.

Acornie 490 Posted August 9, 2018 One version through Armas and one Jmb, that was exactly what I was gonna guess! I coulda won a cookie or somethin for guessing right. I actually like that, so people who want to outright buy it can, while others can save up ingame money if they're sticklers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See the JMB in a way to let some extra money grow so they can PAY employee's and keep the servers up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted August 9, 2018 I had a weird dream because of this thread.... We had to hunt and shave Cookie to get one to drop....
