If you haven't tested any of these changes why do you even think you're part of the discussion?

Because he watched the changes closely! :^)
He's super smart! He can make up thousands of test scenarios in his head! No need to actually test them in-game.

And you've been "watching"... And you feel like you're in a position to comment on these changes then? ok.

The meta will shift, new guns will become useful, and life will go on.

You're acting like one of those horrible retail customers that scream at employees.

Meta shift shouldn't push guns, which weren't meta even farther out of meta. Go buy yourself an ATAC "Patroller". I will see if you continue thinking IR changes were not rushed.

Also, N-TEC is still meta. Edited August 9, 2018 by holyTyu

shotguns are now meta.
ir3 ntec is now noob friendly being that the fire rate nerf compliments the bloom recovery making it so you can full auto out to the top end of its range, there isn't punishment for just holding lmb. using it like a silver brand new to the game is actually how it's used now.. good way to delete any skill involved.
ir3 change in general seems to have questionable qualities.
heavy hvr still pretty unchanged, expect less quick switchers but now expect everyone to be 100m out and put a real hitch on how the gameplay works.
mitigation continues to do nothing but warp people around and make the game less playable than taking the hit of a ddos once in a blue moon.

current state of the game? troublemaker tier trash.
in light of all that... showstopper seems good, cool in concept, i approve.
LOVE the JT store additions, one of the most underrated changes to the game in the last patch.. please keep.

This isn't correct. The ntec is mostly the same in this regard.
You either tap or burst the gun or you won't hit on range.. Just like before.

Actually with IR3 you can full-auto at 30meters and hit every shot. There is not much point to burst fire anymore.

This year's snowball launcher needs to be renamed to "made by the tears of those upset by the Rifling and HVR changes" I guess.

You need to take a chill pill.
So far, the changes have been great and a much needed breath of fresh air.

You're upset that your full auto cqc sniper rifle can't have rifling on it anymore? Too bad. Adapt. There are other guns that now have a chance to shine.

Have you seen the new Carbine with IR? It's fucking horrendous. CJ is still fine though so I'm fine, Carbine main here that mostly used CJ so I'm fine with the changes, but it's still garbage with IR now. Edited August 9, 2018 by Similarities

Why would I buy a preset weapon when a 3 slot is available? That's just making a bad purchase...

Yes, Patroller got nerfed because of this. 
You could try presenting your argument and suggesting a course of action to fix it in a polite and mature way, which would actually have a chance of working.
Or you could just flail your arms around and scream at LO.

You could before as well? You could also jump with the ntec and hit every shot at 20 meters.

I mean the changes have been up on the liver server for a little over an hour and people are already complaining. I'm going to give it time, I'm playing the same game that you guys are and I'm willing to accept changes will take some adaptation. Doesn't mean I'm not finding issues with the current balance and I personally thought and perhaps wish they had extended the OTW longer as well. I think I'll give it a week or more before I actually come to some decent conclusion on what I think. 

Honestly I'm wondering as I went to live server why Mobile Radar Tower didn't just get completely removed or demolished.

if you aren't uninstalled by now, you admit to being fully plugged in. do your family, friends, and enemies a favor, uninstall and go outside.

Patroller comes with a KTTW pack, I created a thread specificially to talk about Patroller. Come here and discuss I'm just trying to point some ACTUAL issues with IR changes and redirect it to that thread.

[Similarities 226]

Hoping the server restart fixes this, but god DAMN Jericho is laggy.

[Puffdragon 131]

I tested some guns, lmgs and smgs seem fine, rifle feels weird. Ofcourse the experts will debate my opinion but I don't mind these changes.

[saudauish 26]

if ir3 is a must on so many guns maybe its time to change why that is, not the mod itself

Yes, it is such a huge change.

I actually have a rather healthy relationship with my family and today was my weekly meeting with a lot of my immediate family. . . it went rather nice.


As me and some people have said, this isn't about any specific gun, it's about the fact that they made a change to perhaps the 2nd most important mod in APB with barely any testing against the advice of a huge portion of the playerbase, despite saying that this balance pass was going to be mostly about buffs. LO is just off their rocker. The IR changes have huge implications, and they basically did it on a whim, and it's going to fuck A LOT of guns.

And even IR aside, the patch was a trainwreck.

[Aitako 1]

For me it feels not so bad, like that there are some real changes coming to apb, and not only making money content ^^

I'm actually not going to totally disagree with this, this has made me see that range in APB is kinda' totally fucked.

Here's the thing about that... The vast majority of the playerbase is really bad at this game.
I'd rather LO listened to the top 1% of players who know and understand the game.

That's what we all want.. What they did was listen to one guy and ignore the rest. Even the 1%.
