All Points Bulletin: Reloaded V8 - when are they gonna nerf stun guns?

[Nitronik]

The DMR-AV is pure overkill. One of the few weapons I'd perma from the store.

I kinda miss playing APB

[Mr. Someguy]

APB doesn't miss playing you, though.

They should remove the movement penalty on the DMR, then people would be actually inclined to use it.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;42535187]Oh, have they shown any sign of improving the matchmaking system? I keep getting my butt kicked in teams where there are rank 195 bronze players. :suicide:[/QUOTE]
They've been working on it since they got the license and rights to the game. I really wouldn't hold my breath, but yes they know it's not that great.

Some interesting stuff in tomorrow's patch [url]http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/334085-patch-1131-426/page__p__3400478#entry3400478[/url]

[quote]New Feature - Medal Tracking:
1.13.1 sees the introduction of medal tracking to APB. If you open your character info screen ([J]) and select the Achievements tab, you'll see that we've added a medal section that shows you all the medals you've earned. We started tracking these in 1.13.0, so anything you've earned since then will be displayed already and anything you have yet to earn will be greyed out.

New Music:
We've added Part 2 of the Artist Programme as well as Music by Certain Death and a remix of a track by "A Space Love Adventure" by Farfletched.

New System Command - Network Test:
We've implemented a new chat command that allows players to take a snap shot of their network performance to assist us with evaluating and improving the game, and server's, network performance.
Players simply need to enter /latencytest into the chat bar and the game will start taking a snapshot of relevant data (traceroute, ping time etc).
This process takes 10 minutes and the player can stop it at any time by re-entering the same command again. The information will be output to the log folder, in APBGame/Logs/, as "Latency - <Date>.csv". and can be sent on to support for review.

Adding the winning vehicles from the "Noob Mobile" forum contest to Joker Distribution in Breakwater (Social district).

WEAPON SKINS:
(ACT 44): Added weapon skin support for the ACT-44 magnum and updated the Golden Marksmen skin to use the latest gold shader.
(LCR): Adding Weapon Skin support for the STAR 556 LCR,
(LTL): Adding Weapon Skin support for the Stabba PIG and Stabba NL-9.
ACES Rifles and SMGs leased through Joker Distribution are now skinnable.

BUG FIXES:
CHAT: Players can now use team chat while dead.
UI (ELECTIVE SPAWNING): Players can no longer place personal waypoints on the elective spawning map.
INSPECT: Role and achievement data will now be correct for the player you are inspecting - previously it would show your data as theirs.
AUDIO: Fixed numerous bullet casing sounds that were previously not present. This affects: Silenced FBW, NFAS Shotgun, Snub Nose Revolver, Silenced PMG, Colby .45, Aces SMGs and Anubis Sniper Rifle.[/quote]

[Mr. Someguy]

Yes! My LCR is gettin' some love :D

Depending on how it looks, I might put the danger skin on it. Very fitting because fucking nobody expects the LCR, and a good number don't know how to deal with it when they fight one. Smart people run for cover, but most just try to outsnipe me with their N-TEC's or HVR's, and usually fail.

It's great that they're finally doing things in their weekly updates, I remember when the patch notes were like 2 lines long, or nothing and just "maintenance".

It makes me remain humbly optimistic for the future.

You forgot "added *insert new thing here* to the ARMAS Market! *varying length description on why you NEED to buy it now!!!1* ".

[Mr. Someguy]

There isn't really, it sounds like you got unlucky. Sure every once in awhile someone tries to troll with a heavy vehicle, and occasionally a moron tries with with a light car, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to consider it a real problem.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;42539970]they sent me a code for the colt m1911, what do?[/QUOTE]Give it to me. [sp]Or use it on another account[/sp]

[Papa Gator]

may be late, but just a list of codes i found on the g1 forums for those who started/weren't aware;

[quote]PH4TB3ATZ - Headphones
UWOTM8 - Taunt Emote
FUN4ADAY - 1 day premium
INCOGN1TO - Domino Mask
R1FLE4ADAY - CR5 1 day lease
1WUZH3R3 - Tag Font set
1DAYGOLDEN44 - ACT 44 gold plated, 1 day.[/quote]

and some temporary pwemium codes;

[quote]215Z-CFB8-G4T0-178V - 1 Day Premium
WELCOMETOSANPARO - 1 Day Premium[/quote]

since the game is temporarily down for updates, you can just use [URL="http://www.gamersfirst.com/marketplace/ingame/index.php?gameID=20"]link to armas[/URL] to login and redeem a code.

[simkas]

I just noticed I still have like 1k G1 credits on my account. I think I bought some credits some time earlier, bought some stuff with some of it and then left the rest to get premium, but I was waiting for something before buying, but I don't remember what. I guess I'll have to go back to play this for a bit some time now.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;42546198]How do I deal with people who camp around corners with SMGs and stuff? I try to flush them out with grenades but they don't seem very phased by it, and usually when they do come out, I still get outgunned.[/QUOTE]
Are you cooking your grenades enough that they blow up near the corner, giving them less time to react? You should also be moving towards the person if possible, just before you throw the grenade. Gives it more forward momentum, again reducing possible reaction time. Minimizing the amount of time the person has to see - and dodge - your grenades will improve their effectiveness.

Alternatively, use team chat to say there's someone there and draw fire (but [b]don't[/b] die), and hopefully you can get someone to flank them. Or do it yourself.

[ClawsieSquared]

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;42546582]Yeah, I time the grenades to explode as soon as it passes the corner, I usually do it behind a wall to before I move out and throw it.[/QUOTE]
That's the way to do it, use both grenades if you think you have to, maybe not one after another, but if you have to then do it. Or follow up on your grenades. Throw a bit early, force him to move, and move behind your grenade at a safe distance.

There's no "how-to" on beating people who hug cover like that, sometimes you just can't. It's just the way things are.

[quote]July 17, 2013 marked the kick off of the massive engine upgrade to move the engine forward in time by 5 years

By end of last week (October 11, 2013) the team had finished the basic merge pass of 9,393 files, which leaves them only a couple of hundred files to go. Once the team gets everything to compile, then the long and painstaking effort of solving for issues and dependencies get underway (not to mention the massive QA and testing effort).

I'll play again much more often if they make the game much better (and less clunkier) than it currently is. I get ridiculous lag spikes, not just the Joker server ones that made the game unplayable. This was a couple patches ago though, so I don't know how it is right now.

Now that G1 has shown us what they've been up too, I am not banging my head against the desk whenever I spend money on APB. I'm glad to see they're actually doing something useful now that they have a staff that listens and knows how to do work.

While I'm usually a negative dick on this thread/about this game that's actually pretty neat if they completely follow through with it.

[Nitronik]

Iight come back as well. Great news indeed
