February 22 Posted January 9, 2019 It is just me or does the N-tec's bloom seem a bit more than it use to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempington 295 Posted January 9, 2019 Since when? If you're talking in like the last month then no. There have been no tweaks made the n-tec for quite some time now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookiePuss 5378 Posted January 9, 2019 Like Kemp said no changes to the n-tec have been made in quite some time. Feel free to check for yourselves... https://db.apbvault.net/items/Weapon_AssaultRifle_NTEC All data is pulled directly from the game files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlatMan 711 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) The bloom curve was disabled. It handles like it did before G1 went full retard with the curve system. This was changed months ago, but I can't find it in the patch notes. It was intended. It was part of the weapon balance district changes that got pushed to live.

Didn't they stop updating the DB because they could not access the files? How recently were these changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old site http://apbdb.com/ stopped updating due to G1 slimming down the PC client. The new site https://db.apbvault.net has had the latest changes for the last 2 years. They don't display the bloom curve mechanic on the site, which is probably why the change wasn't listed. Edited January 9, 2019 by MrsHappyPenguin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeb TheEpicGuyV2 269 Posted January 9, 2019 If the n-tec was changed, you would see a significant flux of threads most likely complaining about how it didn't need a change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speed has access to all the current files. (I guess I should say "vault" instead of DB maybe... cuz yeah apbdb is terribly out of date) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookiePuss 5378 Posted January 9, 2019 Like others I do not think there has been any change to the ntec bloom curve, but it looks like we will have to wait for @LO_Beastie to have a chance to weigh in before we can be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just know one of those patches removed the bloom curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
