BlatMan 711 Posted September 12, 2018 The cool downs shouldn't even be affected by premium. Give players more standing instead. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You make more than enough money with premium, no need to increase that even more, not to mention that the prices for everything would skyrocket to compensate for the increase in rewards which will leave new players that aren't 255 yet even further behind everyone else. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePridsss 1 Posted September 12, 2018 In my opinion people should just buy premium when the 15+ level contacts are unlocked easier to max out the others if you play consistently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swft 356 Posted September 12, 2018 This should be a priority "fix" if they take balancing the game seriously. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keshi 436 Posted September 12, 2018 idk...maybe the cooldown will make players buy premium. I mean i don't have premium now so i gotta wait 4minutes to use my supplybox but u can always use the ammo in the trunk of your car or drive to a mailbox/carspawner/jokermachine when u next to it instead of using the supplybox if possible. Support the game. Buy premium. 30day premium is only 5 damn dollars people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted September 12, 2018 you will need to give an alternative benefit(s) for premium if you are going to request a change to premium benefits simply wanting to change cooldowns and such for premium basically tells everyone 'i want premium to be next to useless' 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For those who care more about actually playing the game, the cash and XP bonuses absolutely come in handy There's no real reason for the premium cooldown to stay 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted September 12, 2018 Im for whatever is best for the game. If keeping the cooldown is best keep it, if removing it is, remove it. Like everyone else, I have no idea who buy premium for what reason and what these changes would mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketog 1032 Posted September 12, 2018 the cooldown shouldn't be different for premium and non premium players indeed . as small as it is , this is the most pay to win feature of APB reloaded 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knite 158 Posted September 12, 2018 The cooldown timer difference is just about the only thing that one could argue is truly P2W about APB; from car mods to character mods, the difference between the cooldowns is enough that Premium players could conceivable have an "unfair" advantage. World of Warships has "Premium consumables", which have a lower cooldown and give you an extra charge over the regular consumable, but you don't have to be a Premium account to acquire or use them; the Premium consumables are attainable with in-game (and real) currency. As someone who's had Premium in APB for a very very long time, playing without it is almost painful; let non-Premium players have the same cooldowns as Premium!

Nitronik 348 Posted September 12, 2018 Personally I don't mind wheter they give everyone standard or premium cooldowns - I just want to see the difference go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a pain to get all the symbols. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please note that Cooldowns should probably be changed in the way of non-premium players having the same cooldown as premium players have right now. The other way around could be interesting but I'm not quite sure how it would play out to have insanely long cooldowns for all mods. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serro 3 Posted September 12, 2018 Yes, please. I don't why this is was even a benefit towards premium. Remove it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
