All Points Bulletin: Reloaded V9 - Matt Scott Appreciation Station - Games

[link] - Previous thread [link] - APBVault / APB Database [link] - Developer blog [link] - Official APB Reloaded forum [link] - Official site === All Points Bulletin: Reloaded is a free-to-play multiplayer third-person shooter video game. Players participate in urban fights between Enforcers and Criminals in the city of San Paro, with a wide range of customization options at their disposal - both visual and technical ones. Customization has always been a cornerstone of APB; to this day, no game has come close to allowing the same degree of personalization of various aspects of gameplay. Among other things, players are allowed to adjust their weapons, vehicles, clothes, entire outfits, and personal symbols - there's even a music studio which allows for creation of short tracks that play for their victims after getting killed. Perhaps mostly known for dying under Realtime Worlds, to later be revived and turned free-to-play by GamersFirst and Reloaded Productions, the game is currently undergoing its second revival after the buyout/acquisition of GamersFirst by publisher Little Orbit in May 2018. === OP subject to future changes.

have any of you tried the Showstopper?

Well, the game isn't as dead as it may seem. We have just received a new patch, even though the new dev team is focused on getting the Engine Upgrade out for every platform. https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/3337-weapon-balance-changes-1196/ To highlight a few things: we've received a new secondary weapon - Colby Showstopper - which is an expy of the Taurus Judge, being a blend of a shotgun and a revolver. a lot of weapons have had their statistics readjusted for balance. the Improved Rifling 3 weapon mod is no longer a straight upgrade for some weapons, having had its "increased reticle bloom" downside changed to a "slower rate of fire" one. the NCR-762 'Anubis' Adeen legendary sniper rifle - widely considered one of the worst legendary weapons - has been slightly buffed and given a new crosshair to replace the old, sight-obscuring one. We have been given more information by Little Orbit in those few months of their presence than we've heard from GamersFirst for two or three years before the buyout. And it's not just one spokesperson from LO talking - a lot of people are involved, and sometimes even Matt Scott, the CEO himself, talks to the community. It's good. It's better than it has been for the last couple of years.

This game's cheated death more times than Rasputin, it seems.

Hopefully it works out this time, its still got heaps of potential.

Honestly the prime time of this game has been so long ago I don't even know what a version that's fully realized in its potential would be. Also, bumping for nostalgia - came across this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBBg2PI6WUg It's been nearly *six* years

Haha that's awesome, I had completely forgotten about that. There's (Taggart?) at 0:01, me at 0:10, you at 0:15, (HeadFucker?) at 0:25, Jenz at 0:30 and the other 4 I can't put my finger on

Correct with Taggart and SouthparkMGT, 0:26 was a Reapers clan member (if not leader?), 0:37 is mozie

They're gonna actually nerf the N-TEC boys Two tests. One reduces TTK and takes 2 bullets from the magazine The other adds decreased accuracy and 2 more bullets taken from magazine to the above They're also gonna partially revert the 2015 OCA buff - the OCA Whisper lost its p2w properties as well. Assault Rifles are getting reduced range across the board by 5m , while marksman rifles (aside from the OSCAR, SR15, VBR and other cqc semis) are getting a 5m buff - so that you don't have to use the new Improved Rifling (which reduces rate of fire now) And there's finally gonna be proper trading between players All in all the week of Sept 3rd is looking pretty good

hopefully this game will liven up a bit again. party like its 2010 u kno

That's already on OTW servers, isn't it?

Is this the year of the Obeya again finally?

it's been year of the obeya since 2k10 dood

It was nerfed heavily at some point, then buffed again. I reckon it's not as good as it was way back then, but it's still a really competitive option

Labor Day Weekend Update LO has been with us for less than a year and they've already fixed hitreg issues. Fuckin' hell, if it's actually gotten fixed, these guys are modern day wizards.

It's been more than a week and I'm here to revitalize this thread We had a patch on OTW. Down below you will find the changes that were made: • Fixed an issue where using /unstick while holding a task item would incorrectly end the mission • Fixed an issue related to being able to use fences and hydrants to see players through walls • Fixed a number of issues related to falling through the floor when standing on a task item • Fixed a bug related to ammo not removing the correct amount of APB$ when being refilled • Improved hit notifications to properly display when targets are being hit • Improved the reliability of Spotter character modification

Me and Ketog have decided to go past the amount of sunglasses that mankind was safe to wear. I had 2 sunglasses on my cap (one as a symbol), aviator sunglasses on my eyes, goggles around my neck, a symbol of sunglasses tucked behind the hem of my shirt, the symbol of Pipimi on my shirt also has sunglasses, the face on the backpack also has sunglasses, and two pairs of sunglasses tucked into two pockets of my trousers. Ketog had a similar setup, although he had a different symbol of sunglasses on the back of his cap, only had one pair of sunglasses in his trousers and he also wore sunglasses on his biceps. https://i.imgur.com/7kX1I8p.png We have reached maximum oversunglassing. I love this game sometimes.

tell Ketog I said hi - unless he and ket0g are different people lmao

POW Patch 1.19.7 is out! http://media.gamersfirst.com/gamersmedia/apb/new-trade-system.png You can now trade directly with another player - no need to go on the marketplace or the mailbox if your bud needs something! This should also make Legendary trades safer, but every time you idiot proof something the universe just makes better idiots Among changes also noticeable nerfs to Shotguns - making the game suddenly a lot less annoying to play once more

sup

Little Orbit's way of management is an incredible improvement over GamersFirst's. It's just a shame that a vocal part of the community is too toxic to recognize it. It's mostly visible on the APB forums - some users seem to have made it their life mission to constantly throw shade at LO and act like naysayers even in the face of LO making great improvements to the game. I commend LO for not giving up and still trying their best (to, in my opinion, great results). Here's hoping that their work on the engine upgrade will thrust some life and some new players into the game.

Yeah, about forums. I noticed that too. But hey, forums were shit ever since 2011 so no biggie.

Remember I made a silly video about the state of APB back in 2011? The one with "I got a Whisper duuuuuuuuuuude"? Someone managed to find and reupload it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI6kWWLiWcA

It's your resident patch note bot and I just wanted to say they fixed the Mobile Radar Tower

Oh, and with the total face revamp of LelianaBadass, which you can clearly notice, now I need a name change, but I won't have any money until next month, plus it's way too pricey - basically I need to spend $15 to get 1600 G1C so I could get a 1199 G1C name changer (that is without premium, but premium is another 999 G1C, so... yeah not happening). Keep in mind that prices aren't adjusted for my shitty currency. So uhh, I don't even know what to do. I could've sell off all my cards from Steam inventory (I have a LOT of cards there), but I'm locked out of trading until 20th October because bullshit restriction of making a purchase not older than a year.

I'd say it's definitely a step-up from the old design. The light-blue/white/dark-blue combo didn't quite mesh with my taste :V

I was also planning on buying a name change if I start playing again by the time 3.5 hits but with the G1C prices being in euros there's no way in hell I'm paying that much just for a lousy name change. We need regional pricing.

or even better yet they really need to drop most prices - There is no way in hell I'm dropping 20€ on a gun

At least high weapon prices were acknowledged by Matt Scott, so changes will happen for sure. Speaking of changes. I've made a new FP outfit and new looks for my very first character you all know, which is SouthParkMGT, https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/247204/16f27eeb-3780-4b5e-b76b-6433e7fd4b11/113400_20181006171718_1.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/247204/de891ce3-35dd-42be-8d0a-3cad30b647fa/113400_20181006171650_1.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/247204/6dbae0c4-139f-4708-8ee5-1524aa0e5b30/113400_20181006171634_1.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/247204/c2ca9ffe-205f-4a85-8a9a-699158923b3c/113400_20181006171605_1.png
